[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1423024, member: 6406"] It wasn't supposed to be an accurate representation of period speech. It was supposed to be a film version of the book. At first I thought the language was kind of stilted, but it didn't bother me after a little bit. Also I think that the comedic timing of some lines ("I do not know him" after they cut the guy down from the tree) worked better that way. Also the book was written in 1968, and I think they'd gotten over contractions by then. I haven't read the book, but I got the impression that LaBoeuf was supposed to be a cocky jerkass, not a seasoned Texas Ranger. Damon plays that part well. [/QUOTE]
