People who walk out of subtitled films

[komal]

yep city of god is awesome and the orphanage is the scariest but still with an amazing story and its one of my favourite films, I have no problems with subtitles whatsoever.

I find that if anything, it helps you judge peoples reactions and moods whilst they are speaking as you are concentrating on how they are acting more than what they are saying

I have 5 films on my list to watch which are all subtitled, but my husband can't watch a subtitled film, I think it's 'cause he cant read fast enough lol, but the films I want to watch aren't his cup of tea anyway, so i'll have to watch them on my own. The trouble is, I think a couple of them may be a bit too scary for me to watch on my own!!! Any opinions if the following are scary... Day Watch, Night Watch, Pans Labyrinth, Brotherhood of the Wolf. Apocalypto is my last one but I won't be scared watching that.

 

apocalypto hardly has any talking in it anyway its a great film, very action packed but very upsetting, one of about 5 films I have cried to.

 

pans labyrinth is a stunning film, not very scary at all but very very good

I once had to turn a subtitled film off once, but there was a reason:

 

I decided to watch The Seventh Seal in bed one night. However, I was a bit tired so about 10 mins in to it I thought "I know, I'll close my eyes for a minute and just listen to the dialogue" - which was in Swedish!

 

I suddenly opened my eyes, called myself a few names and decided to watch it at another time. Which I did and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Some people cant' read/read fast enough.

 

9rota is very good, on youtube.

The Wave was an excellent movie i enjoy watching foreign movies usually much better than the hollywood trash that dominates the cinema

A lot of people quite simply cannot read fast enough to process the written dialogue alongside what is happening on screen.

 

Then there are some who have the "if I wanted to read I'd get a book out attitude". Fair enough, but you'll miss out on the greatest films ever made, the majority of which are not in English.

 

I do wonder though why people don't up and out when they start talking Elvish in the LOTR films or German in Inglorious (which QT mischievously opens with 10+ minutes of German dialogue).

As for doing research.

 

This is all well and good, but what happens when you get to the cinema a little late and the film you wanted to see is either full or not showing and you have to quickly choose another.

 

This has happened to me more than once. Sometimes you just drop lucky and see something you had never heard of which is great.

 

By the way £7 is not expensive to see a film. If I was sat in a pub drinking beer for the same time I could easily spend £15 or £20

Agreed, I have an Unlimited pass and might well just pick the first title that appealed to me!

 

I would probably watch a film with subs but it would drive me dotty I think

[k8ndaz]

i think apocolypto was my first subtitled film i have seen and thoroughly enjoyed it. it was tiring though having to read when i was tired but i certainly wouldnt walk out
