This may seem unimportant but I'm curious to know if Joseph Fiennes will be putting on Australian accent. I am a big fan of his (have been watching his movies this week) and would love to see him take a new challenge. :D
shareMost likely yes!

No he didn't. I live in one of the towns they filmed in. He kept his English accent.
shareNobody in this film seems to have Australian accent. Everybody is speaking in American English.

American English? Well, you haven't heard us Americans then!

sharePlease tell me you understand the difference between an "accent" and "language."
Please tell me that you just had a momentary brain lapse when you posted that. Because as an American I'm really starting to understand the absolute hatred most other countries have for us. It is impossible for a country to be so populated with absolutely stupid people and continue to function.
Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.
There are stupid people all over the world. Wanna know what irks me? Americans apologizing for being American. Move away, please.

No the accents bounce all over the place, but seem more American. But SOMETIMES they talk pure gibberish, or maybe aborigini, and I can't make out a word 3 or 4 places. But mostly what does the girl say at the very end????????????????????
shareThat is why subtitling is so useful. Whisper, slur the words, shout gibberish,rave and rage ... when subtitled you can read and understand it all ...
shareThe accents are natural Australian accents, except for Joseph Fiennes, and not American in the slightest. I did not hear any aboriginal language spoken, the movie was in English with the occasional Australian slang word, e.g. arvo which is short for afternoon. From my perspective the speech was quite clear. Lily said at the end "There is a stillness in the air, and I'm in it. There are no sounds, no whispers, no shadows, no darkness. And just for a moment, there is no 'you', no 'me'. And I'm not lost."
shareFiennes' accent is basically English with an Australian edge, somewhat typical of English person who has lived in Australia for while - no shortage of those in Australia - or an English person attempting a subtle Australian accent. All the others, and I stress "all" have natural Australian accents.
