Elijah's Accent???
Hank IsDrunk
But...
I like Elijah. I enjoyed his playing of Frodo and have enjoyed other
things he's done. But when it comes to interviews, he's sounds like
yet another actor who'd be best suited to hiring a "show personality"
coach. Meaning, he seems just a bit over confident, and someone who
doesn't really appreciate the story of LotRs the way a lot of us do,
instead is more into what it does for his showbiz career. What I mean
is, I wish he was a bit warmer of a personality.
Then, I listened to him speak with that accent and just began to
cringe. Cringe with embarrassment. Speaking with an
english/australian/new zealand accent was the trend of
yesteryear...several years ago. Madonna was doing it, among others.
He seems like he's *trying* to seem important or sophisticated. Is
this what Hollywood does to kid actors?
What's with the accent? He's born and bred right here in the heart of
the US. At first I thought he was a bit overconfident based on
interviews I had *read*; now, seeing him interviewed in
person...uuugghhhhhh. It's not that I dislike him now, I just wish
he'd be a bit more humble.
And lose the silly, unfitting, pretentious and obvious accent. God I
hate it when actors/characters I like turn out to be disappointing
people in real life.

Sure, and he's just spent a lengthy period of time in
New Zealand, mixing and socialising with Kiwis, Scots
and English, as well as Americans from other parts of
the US. No wonder his accent is confused.

Since when has an Australian accent ever been considered posh ???
Anyway, if you had spent the best part of nearly two years out in New Zealand,
surrounded by natives, and Australians, I'm sure that you would also come back
speaking like a Kiwi.
How is the American accent seen as 'humble' anyway. In most countries of the
world the American accent is seen as being from that of a wealthy and
privaledged person.

What can you expect? He's what, 22? In the last six months he's
gone from hard-working obscure (perhaps even starving) actor to
world-wide celebrity. He probably has to beat the babes off with
a baseball bat. Can't even drop by the local 7-11 to buy a coke
without provoking a traffic jam. What would that do to *your* ego?

He could be the biggest Tolkien fan this side of Louis Epstein, but
the fact is he's an actor, and he will never do another Tolkien film,
since there aren't any to be done. (even if someone films The Hobbit,
they can't cast Frodo as Bilbo.) So what should he be thinking about?

It's hard to be humble when you're (temporarily) King of the World.

Well, stop going to movies, and sell the TV set too. It turns out that
all actors are ordinary people in real life. Half of them are below
average. Strange but true. 8^)

Well, he did clean up dog urine in Ozzy's house.
The Matt
great in some films, and I thought he did well in FotR....but...
I could realistically see him taking a Leonardo DiCrapio crap dive. That
guy had some great performances, and then he did Titanic and no one (other
than perhaps the teen aged girls) will ever take him seriously. I hope for
Elijah's sake this isn't his path, but I can't help but fear for him.

I imagine his accent is so confused it's running around in a dark room
screaming: "G'day! Howdy! Hello, old chap! Ahhhhhh!"

can just see him going like Maclaugh Klay Mclaughin (whatever his name is).
But he seems like a remotely nice person, who has an utterly bizzare accent

needs some serious puncturing.

True, in most interviews I have read with the cast, he sounds like a normal
guy, but then he gets talking about some sick thing he and Billy Boyd did,
and he sounds about 12 instead.

Oh dear god.
Took me a while to figure out what you were saying there.
I believe you mean "Macaulay Culkin". Holy-misunderstood-name Batman.
Actually I found Elijah to be one of the cooler actors. He seemed to
enjoy doing the movie (and why not?). You can tell he's genuinely
enjoying his stardom, unlike other actors who now insist they be
treated as demigods because they made a cool film about ancient Rome.

Any accent is better than American English... especially those from Southern
states...
I'd say it hurts me less to listen to a Manchunian (even if it's not to my
liking) than listening to an American (some rare accents excluded - those
happen _VERY_ rarely though).
Well done Elijah! Keep it up... you sound so much more like an educated man
now.... 3 cheers!

As do I. Apart from some of the stranger stories I've heard about escapades
in New Zealand, he sounds normal.

Yes, hate those people (cough - Russel Crowe - cough. Ok, he didn't make a
movie about Rome, but he has the demi-god thing all planned out).

Of course I took that into consideration. "Posh", because much of
Australia is derived from England, owned by british gov't. Hence the
strong similarity in accent (the likes of which the majority of
Americans can't even discern).
But by the same token, I've spent time in the south, being from NY. I
never came back, even after extended periods, soundin' like ah racist,
KKK-riflen'-totin' hill-a-billy-withn'-ah-ignori'nt-draawwwwl

(That was a JOKE folks...no offense to all you wonderful, kind
southerners).

Well, this is an American making the post based on an
American-location event. To most *Americans*, anything resembling a
british accent is seen as uppity and priveledged, as long as it's not
too suburban London-ish or outright Australian (his accent wasn't
outright *anything*). I wasn't suggesting an American accent sounds
humble either. To that I was only referring to his demeanor.
I'm just talkin perceptions, that's all.

Tell ya a secret, ladies, one that I worked out in 43 years
surrounded by men (brothers, boyfriends, husbands,
fathers, colleagues and best buddies). ALL men are
somewhere around 12 years old in their psyche and
humour. They'll deny it (just wait till you see the howls
of protest to this <g>) but they are. They can be the
most intelligent, sophisticated, grown up guys you
ever met - but get them together with their best (male)
friends (especially old school friends - this seems to
be a particularly dangerous thing to allow your husband
to do) and maybe introduce a small amount of booze
(but not always necessary). Either remove all females
from the vicinity or make those females "one of the
guys"..... and next thing you know they're having belching
contests, comparing willy sizes and lighting their farts
just like when they were 12.
<shrug> it's why we love them, really <g>

I read that Rolling Stone magazine interview post. I was expecting something

And when I did read it I didn't think anything of it. I can't stand people who
get offended by every stupid little thing. Its becoming to a point where the
world is TOO politically correct. Im getting sick of hearing this racial,
feministic crap. And yes im a girl. I've known guys that act worse than Elijah
and his buddies did. Even my dad told me all this crap he did when he was
young, and he's like the model father. I notice that when guys are around other
guys, that just spells trouble, no matter who they are. I Find what Elijah did
pretty damn mild actually. So everyone who was actually offended by it, please
go to the nearest hospital and get those sticks removed from your asses. Thank
you.

Humble?? What does that have to do with the way you speak??
Also, Elijah spent over a year in NZ around mostly NZers and people from the
British Isles...AND he was trying to learn to speak English with a british
accent....he was also being encouraged to use the accent in his spare
time....maybe after a while it sounded and felt natural, and he decided to
keep it up when returning to the US....or maybe it is not conscious?
I moved to Australia 13 years ago and to start with everybody asked me where
I was from....but now they all think I am Australian...I have not TRIED to
learn, it just becomes natural after a while.
I do not see anything snobbish in it even if he HAD decided to change his
way of speaking!!

Basically, I am typing int his thread as though I have just read that
article, and that I do not like Elijah Wood rather more than is healthy (I
do). I wasn't offended, and I wouldn't be, even if I had never heard of him
before. It isn't meant to be offensive, and it isn't meant to provoke an
entire conversation about this one word. Who cares? He did a great job of
Frodo, and that's all I honestly care about.

What's wrong with a belching contest? Why shoudl an adult stop belching
(esp. if he/she likes this stuff?) ? Perhaps they could if they feel/want
so, but why impose same principia on a different beeing or condemn them if
they decide not to?
Now... if all adult men belch, light farts etc. etc as if they were 12 ....
wouldn't it mean that a a young male reaches adulthood at the tender age of
12 (contrary to the common belief that female homo sapiens is the first one
to reach adult-like mentality)... and they simply remain at that adult
attitude for the rest of their lives?
I feel it is prejudicial to say that a fart or belch contest makes someone
adolescent becuase young people do it, and not consider the opposite view
that it perhaps makes the youngsters adult (or near-adult) since they embark
on the same sort of way of life the adult males do.... Besides there are
countless examples of things we do throughout our lives from a very early
age (not mentioning the obvious biologically driven functions we could jump
immediately to reading in general or reading Tolkien in particular).
This swiftly takes us to another side of this situation.
Condemning the belching and/or farting behaviour as inappropriate, kiddish
etc. seems highly prejudicial again as it is going to be extremely hard to
prove that a person or a group of people has got the right to pass judgement
on such things (unless they themselves vest this power on their
representatives - in this case I should ask my friends to nominate me as the
Judge Earth and I shall start passing my laws on everyone).
In a mental institution it is the sane people that appear insane as they
behave in a manner that is aboslutely contrary to the common behaviour at
this place.
Strangly... it also appears the more adult (the term and the meaning as used
in the previous post) homo sapiens behave the more likely they are to be
bound by the rules of others, the more likely they are to pass judegement
and the more likely they are to ignore the other views as if relativity did
not exist.

And if you see that fountain, it all becomes clear. Most New Zealanders I
know guffawed in laughter at that bit of news, because the fountain in
question is a serious lapse of good taste, involving a wheel of brightly
coloured plastic buckets, which constantly splash water across the street
whenever the wind blows (which, in Wellington, is frequently), and takes up
most of the pavement so that people are forced to squeeze around it.
I'm sure many young kiwis have been tempted to do something similar on
occasion.

as the next man. They can't pretend to be someone else but themselves in
reality.

I've stopped trying to figure out EW. He is simply too weird (for the want
of a better word). I have read a lot of cast interviews where he sounds
genuinely excited and interested in the whole filme experience, and then you
hear he has done something decidedly odd. I guess you just have to put it
down to him being 21 (? Is that right?)...Still, I can't understand why
people get all uptight about stuff he says. I don't think he thinks about
half the stuff that comes out of his mouth anyway (laughs)
