I’m about 30 minutes in and wow these accents are terrible.

Reminds of the Office “ murder” episode when Andy talks about how the Savannah accent spills out of your mouth like molasses

You gotta shut out all the background noise and just see the movie. Just see it there in front of you. All that other stuff it don't matter. It's just you and the movie.

I actually liked it. Bad southern accents usually do bother me in movies, but for some reason it gets by me in this one.

Also Charlize Theron is cuteness

This movie is the example where I learned about the trope of the magical negro.

It's probably been 20 years since I read the book, but I seem to remember Bagger being godlike. He would vanish and appear out of thin air.

I believe it was based off an old Hindu legend about some godlike character helped a guy fight some war after he chose not to partake in it.

This is one of those movies I thoroughly enjoy even though it sucks.

And yes getting Charlize Theron a South African to play a Great Depression era Southern Belle wasn't going to workout great.


And Will Smith's performance...was nearly laughable if you think about it.

I do love the meaning behind a lot of what he says.

Absolutely, I really do enjoy the movie, so when I'm watching it I don't really notice Will Smith's faux southern black speech.

Will Smith’s character is on the Mount Rushmore of “magical negro” in movies. Gets a call out in the Wikipedia entry for MN.

During one of my many bad golf outings, I closed my eyes and imagined will smith talking to me and getting me in the zone, then opened my eyes to see a black dude mugging me.
