Do people in Charlestown talk like that or is it Ben Affleck's direction of the movie that's to blame? "When my mom left us, I made posters--like when you lose your dog--to see if the neighbors could help me find her." What!?

They probably really talk like that, to some extent, anyway. Affleck grew up in Boston and he's very familiar with its neighborhood and people - especially the lower-income areas. He brought the same degree of authenticity to
Gone, Baby, Gone.
