Jean Seberg's French accent in "Breathless" in abominable....

[bicentennial_baby]

I adore this film, and I've seen it a brazillion times, but I *had* to say it... J'adore "A bout de souffle", mais... :shrug:

On Edit: Watching it again now...that's what brought that up... :P

1. I've always wondered about that. I heard so many variations of accents

from native speakers during my years traveling the world, that I finally decided that I have no idea what a <insert language/dialect/nationality/region> accent really was.

2. No, seriously, it's atrocious...

:puke: I've been speaking French for a few years now, I've heard plenty of American-born French speakers...and no, she's goddamn awful...R.I.P.

3. Yeah, well, I actually meant to clarify that with "I've never seen the

movie" & "even so, I've heard some accents in movies that struck me as totally false." -- But, being old, tired and forgetful (not to mention fat, ugly, bald, boring & poor, just to be complete) I forgot...

5. lol, I'm not. That's a throwback of sorts. I've been using chat-type

thingies since 1981, with all the ASL stuff, and people making up fake personas. I just started using it in the mid-80's to go against the grain, and the typing of 'old, tired & forgetful' brought it to mind :)
