David Kelly 1260 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Amelie. The first time I've seen it (and the first time I've ever watched a totally subtitled film). Very good, just the type of film you never see coming from Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Crouching Tiger is the only asian film I've watched all the way through and I'm embarassed to admit I watched it dubbed. There's a lot of foreign films I quite fancy (City Of God, Kurasowa films etc) but I'm always put off with the subtitles. Mainly because whenever I've tried to watch a film with subtitles the dialogue seems very poor as if they have just done a basic translation and you don't get what they are really saying. I watched a bit of Ong Bak the other night and some of the dialogue seemed laughable. After watching Amelie I think I have proved to myself that I can watch a film with subtitles so I will probably give some others a go.

Very good, just the type of film you never see coming from Hollywood. Really My sentiments exactly. With such fine taste I assumed Mr Kelly would have seen all the foreign classics.

The dialogue is laughable. There's a load of good films out there though and the subtitles never put me off tbh. You soon get used to them. Edit: Btw I'd say from my experience when you watch a film dubbed, it ruins it. I much prefer subtitles. Edited December 13, 2006 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I actully really fancy that Hidden. Like I said now that I have proved to myself I can watch a film in subtitles I'm sure I will pick more up. I know my sister has City Of God on DVD so that might well be my first stop. Unless Ong Bak is on again tonight (seems to have been on every night on Sky recently) in which case I will probably try and watch that because I was quite enjoying it despite the poor dialogue.

City of God is class. Another one you might like is La Haine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Aye it just got released on a special edition dvd a couple of months ago if I remember correctly. I really fancy Ran and Rashomon and I might have a look on ebay to see if I can get a cheap copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I always put subtitles on. Even on English speaking DVD's. I'm not mutton or owt. I just don't like to miss anything if, say for example, Russell Crowe is doing his low mumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I do that to which makes it more strange that it has took me so long to give foreign films a go. I often watch films when the bairn and wor lass are alseep and the house is so small and open plan that I have to have the volume down real low so I put the subtitles on to make sure I can catch everything. And it never bothers me in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 To Kill A Mockingbird - Gregory Peck classic. Top stuff The Double Life of Veronique - Absoloutley brilliant, though I never had a clue what was going on. It looked lush though and I can't wait to watch it again and try to work it out. The China Syndrome - Missed the first few minutes but caught this on More4. I kept thinking "I'll turn this off soon", but never did and kept coming back after the adverts. It was great fun. Jack Lemmon is immense. Almost as good as he is in Glengarry Glen Ross. Only Yesterday - Early Studio Ghibli film without any of the magic of their more recent stuff. Though the stuff with the kid is adorable, especially at the end when her ten year old self runs with her back to the village. The Bicycle Theives - All I could think of was the Burlesque house episode of the Simpsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Once Upon A Time In The West. Never mind the fact it's one of the greatest films of all time, people call it Leone's masterpiece well I don't as it's not even my favourite Leone film, but the fact that it is so good and yet not my favourite shows how good the genius of Sergio Leone was. It also stars one of the most beautiful women of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
