andy serkis gives *all* the rohirrim soldiers karl urban's new zealand accent. which makes sense, in terms of defining them as a cohesive culture! i think we get dialogue in the book from more different rohirrim than unique members of any other culture except shire-hobbits, which is not a question i had ever pondered before. *maybe* rivendell elves?

it's just also, you know, one hell of an experience to have tolkien's narration going on about how awesome old english the rohirric language is, while you're hearing something so very different from old english
