Comments on: Second Valkyrie trailer with Tom Cruise as the Nazi with an American accent http://www.celebitchy.com/14464/second_valkyrie_trailer_featuring_tom_cruise_as_the_nazi_with_an_american_accent/ Stylish celebrity escapism Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:19:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Melissa http://www.celebitchy.com/14464/second_valkyrie_trailer_featuring_tom_cruise_as_the_nazi_with_an_american_accent/#comment-182683 Melissa Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:10:23 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=14464#comment-182683 I saw the movie last night and have to say- the accent thing- yep it was a huge problem! I mean we are talking about German accents, British accents and then...Tom Cruise- who sounds like he is from Los Angeles. Of course, in Los Angeles in 1944 and 1945, people didn't even sound like that- they had the 'Hollywood movie voice' thing. It was so distracting, I couldn't take the movie seriously- it is a shame because the rest of the cast was great. Even the British accents went over well, seeing as though it was a period piece. They should've definitely gotten someone else to play the role- that was a selfish move on Cruise's part. He said in an interview, audiences didn't mind and people just got lost in the sorry-- not me buddy. It did matter and nice rationalization! :) I saw the movie last night and have to say- the accent thing- yep it was a huge problem!

I agree, Daniel Day-Lewis would of been a better choice and I might of bought a ticket. Curious to see, what the critics will write about it. Looks interesting, but probably won’t spend money on it.

Ralph Fiennes did it as a Nazi character for <em>Schindler's List</em>. Cate Blanchett did a good German accent for <em>The Good German</em>. I think a mixed accent array would only work if it serves the movie. Tom just sounds strangely American surrounded by English actors. Why not do the damn accent?

Daniel Day-Lewis would have been a good choice for Tom's role! And double oooh, for Gary Oldman! This would have gotten more women interested in the film!

Even if it is in English, they need to speak in a German dialect. Daniel Day-Lewis would not approve, Tom. In fact, he would have learned to speak German and even poked his own eye out for the role! :-) The rest of the cast is superb, though. Take out Tom, throw in a dash of Gary Oldman, and it would be the best British hottie movie EVAR! Yeesh, I hate that crap! Even if it is in English, they need to speak in a German dialect.

But the cast is great. Except for the ZOAZ. But Bill Nighy might get me through the rental. :-) Weird and/or inconsistent accents kill movies – for me, at least.
