'Highlander' is a Scottish-themed movie about highland clans. And they cast Seán Connery in it AS A SPANIARD

He stole it from Highlander!

Is there any movie where Sean Connery plays a Scotsman?

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

And only on the land.

It's as if any play is for a given audience, and we have to bridge the gap with our own imagination. Crazy, right?

Mind, I'm not criticizing your point, I agree with it, Hollywood has never been great with accents, it just has to be "good enough", like watching a stage play and the props have to be "good enough".

Paul Mooney would like a word.

Do you though?

[lapgoat@pawb.social]

funny joke but also yeah valid point. its acting. people are playing pretend.

I first watched this as an adult in the 2010s, made a reddit thread about how it kinda sucks, and I guess it hit google cause I'd get new messages every few months on that thread

The Longest Day, IIRC, but it's a small part.

Bond is Scottish.

And before the switch, they showed him speaking Russian so the audience could realise what a good decision it was!

Not so - fine gazelle!

I admit it. I have no idea what you're referencing there.

[aqarius@lemmy.world]

Just this outstanding example of acting, directing, and prop management.

Also, I like how Mongols and American Indians have the exact same background music before an attack.

Have you ever actually watched the movie?
