I recently rented this movie and really loved it. HOWEVER, Pig's accent really bothers me. Why does his supposed Irish accent sound like a Jamaican accent? ARe there really accents like that in Ireland?
Accents are often a funny sticking point in films. I like a bit of consistency. Take Alexander for example. Angelina Jolie does a good Greek accent, but everyone else is doing an Irish accent, even if they aren't Irish themselves. And also, Troy - we all know Brad Pitt can do accents, so why doesn't he in this film? Crazy....
I watched DISCO PIGS last year (mainly because i'm slightly obsessed with Cillian Murphy). I didn't pick up on a Jamaican accent, but I love it whenever he says "think."
I don't know...it was like he was saying "dat" for "that", things like that...just reminded me of a heavy Jamaican accent. I've never heard an Irish accent quite like that.
Ah, glad to see another obsessed with Cillian! It's so hard to get some of his films here, because they're European films and hard to find in Canada. But every once in a while, one pops up in the video store.... I kinda liked Disco Pigs, although sad at the end.... Poor Cilly.... It played on tv on the IFC channel. *Adore* the Irish accent Didn't catch the Jamaican but I can kinda see it...
