Who cares? You can still communicate with each other.
It's funny though. You see a movie like "The Dark Knight", a huge Hollywood production

Director ... Christopher Nolan (British)

Christian Bale ... Bruce Wayne / Batman (Welsh)

Heath Ledger ... The Joker (Australian)

Aaron Eckhart ... Dist. Atty. Harvey Dent (USA)

Michael Caine ... Alfred (British)

Maggie Gyllenhaal ... Rachel Dawes (USA)

Gary Oldman ... Gordon (British)

It's turning into what may be the biggest American movie ever, and only 2 of the major players are American! It really goes to show how talented, some of these actors are. I didn't know for a long time that Gary Oldman and Christian Bale weren't American until I saw actual interviews with them. Blew me away. Michael Caine is the only one that keeps his natural accent...(or at least isn't doing an American accent).
