Haha....hmmm
In North American movies and film, when a story is meant to take place in another country that speaks a language other than English, the actors speak English, but they take on the accent of a person from that country, rather than speaking the native language. I believe this is done for the ease of the audience so they do not have to read subtitles; also it allows famous English-speaking actors to be a part of the movie, and thus guaranteeing maximum profits at the box office.
So my ponder-ation is this: If another country, for instance Russia, is creating a film that is set to take place in Canada or the US, does a famous Russian actor speak Russian with an English accent?? Or if the movie takes place in Australia, do they speak Russian with an Aussie accent?? I would really like to hear that :)
