ysic writes:: The actress is Australian, and it was a slip-up, a small one but a slip-up none the less, and besides this IS a web site for nit-pickers; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

Lisa writes:: If I am not mistaken, the only thing that Cole's mother yells when she is pushing him is "AAaah!!" Where in the world are you hearing an Australian accent in that? I would think that an Australian "AAaah" would sound the same as as a American one. I would understand if she had said "AAaah,mate!!" or something. Really, come on now. I have to aggree with TRP on this one. This is nitpicking if I ever saw it!; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

ysic writes:: You are talking about dialects, I'm talking about accents. Accents shape the muscles of the throat and mouth that causes even the non-linguistic utterances to have a certain inflection. A good example of this is the Nazi's in raiders of the Lost Ark -when they went ARRGH!(usually when being killed) Spielberg made sure they sounded German. And while this Sixth Sense slip-up is a very small one, it is still interesting to hear -if you know what to listen for.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

snoopy writes:: This is a slip-up, I mean just because the movie is set in America, doesn't mean she isn't from Australia.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?
