Subtitled or Dubbed???
they both have their drawbacks in my opinion...
I have the same probs as every1 else when it comes to dubbing.It doesnt feel natural,it can make the movie look farcical if done badly,you cant directly dub things because there are some words that dont translate directly or that dont exist in english ect.
On the other hand...
Everone on this thread seems to be in love with subtitles,but I dont find them much better than dubbing.When a movie is subtitled you spend most of your time staring at the bottom of the screen reading whilst the action plays above the point of your attention.Because of this I find that you miss the actors expressions or that you can miss things that flash up on screen very quickly whie you are busy reading.Also sometimes if a movie is badly subtitled the speed of the subbing can vary greatly.you can be stuggling to read one piece of subbing as it is only on the screen for about a mili-second and then other times the actor is talking for about fifteen minutes after you are done reading the words! |
