Because even though people didn't have an English Accent there in Seattle behaviors were somewhat the same especially in Seattle which is more like Canada (Very polite) and in the way they dressed and acted they were very the same as these people on Guernsey. So, somehow I felt at home there in that era with my parents still alive when they were both in their 30s and alive and raising me and not dead and gone like now (my father in 1985 and my mother in 2008 at age 90. So, I felt somehow comforted by this movie and how people were back then. It's true world war II was awful and killed many British People and American people but it was an era like now where people found ways to survive or they died by the hundreds or thousands worldwide. Only real difference now is more people are dying of starvation worldwide now than then every year.
