Learn English – In which accent does Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) speak

accentcinemaspeech

I don't know if Stack Exchange is the right place to ask this question but I am very keen to find out:

Which accent has Brad Pitt adopted in the movie Inglourious Basterds for the role of Lieutenant Aldo Raine?

Best Answer

The character Aldo Raine is from Maynardville, Tennessee and is a hillbilly who enjoys bootlegging moonshine. While I'm unsure about the accuracy of Pitt's accent for the time period, it certainly sounds (possibly intentionally) overdone to my ears.
