It is a bit bizarre that people are happy to give money to a pirate for facilitating the download but not pay for the content.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Jonny foreigners to film in English?

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostMaybe we could encourage young people to learn foreign languages at school by promising them the opportunity to enjoy really good films later in life without being distracted by lip-synching. Then again, would they care at that age? I know that when I had the choice between doing Latin or German O Level, I chose Latin because I reckoned it would be more interesting. I stand by that decision, even if it means I need subtitles to watch certain films in their original form.
- English subtitles - no synching problems and you get the right tone of voice, mood etc
- German or French subtitles for something with English sound (I get both at my local cinema). I can pick up useful phrases from the subtitles while enjoying the film in English. This is a great learning tool.
On the Latin front, that was compulsory for me, alongside French. I later did German and Russian, and the Latin grammar really did help with those.

Originally posted by Sysman View PostIn the early eighties German dubbing of series like James Herriot and The Professionals was dire. The actors who did the dubbing were obviously reading from scripts rather than getting into the role and much was lost. Robert Hardy blasting forth with "No, no my dear boy no" came out as "Nein", and Bodie had a squeaky voice
Thankfully it's much better now.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostYes, subtitles are far better, as long as they aren't too intrusive or the opposite, because the original speech conveys emotions and timing that even the best dubbing can't match unless it's some dire D movie anyway.
Also, German to English dubbing obviously has the problem that it tends to take twice as long to say anything in German, apart from pithy phrases like "raus, raus!", "hande hoch!", etc
Thankfully it's much better now.

Absolutely top notch.
Mesrine: Killer Instinct is meant to be another good French film.
One of my favourite recent French films is Luc Besson's Angel-A.

Whenever I watch Lola Rennt I switch to the original German soundtrack (I have an English pressing of the DVD), and turn on the English subtitles as I don't know German. It's the only way to do it. The voices would be all wrong otherwise. It was made in German: why would I want it dubbed into another language?

... But what about those who chose Technical Drawing over either language?
