B+ may get higher grade if I have better subtitles. -- nm - Qale Jun 14, 20:56
Have they corrected the subtitle problem yet? -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 20:42 25
- is it less boring with the correct subtitles? -- nm - dug Jun 14, 20:48 22
  - actually, yes. extremely. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 20:51 21
    - honestly, it didn't need them at all, imho. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 20:53 20
      - it didn't need a script and words? yes it did. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 20:55 19
        
        sure, it just didn't need them to be in English for the film to have the impact that it did. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 20:58 18
        
        you can speak Swedish? that's amazing. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:02 16
        
        Are you being this obtuse on purpose? Or does it come so easily to you that do you do it without even thinking about it? -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 21:06 15
        
        i'm not the one claiming the movie didn't need any words. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:13 14
        
        He's saying that you could watch the movie in Swedish, and, without understanding a single word, the film would still be effective and impactful. - Omega Jun 14, 21:14 12
        
        still be *as* effective? so like, i could either hear the script, or i couldn't, and identical takeaway? - TFox Jun 14, 21:17 5
        
        I never suggested watching it on mute, if that's what you're saying. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 21:26 4
        
        no, i know. because you at least need that Swedish inflection. - TFox Jun 14, 21:27 3
        
        there you go, being gratuitously obtuse again. - znufrii Jun 14, 21:28 2
        
        Is the point, if I am correct, that the movie would work just as well as intended without any interpreted script, not knowing one word that was said? - TFox Jun 14, 21:32 1
        
        well, considering this is the closest you've come so far to actually portraying my stated opinion with even the slightest bit of accuracy... - znufrii Jun 14, 21:36
        
        Yeah, but I think TFox is being obtuse on purpose. Get's znu all het up. -- nm - TWuG Jun 14, 21:15 5
        
        naturally, but he's really trying too hard on this one... -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 21:16 4
        
        here's my analogy: people tend to not like watching movies in fullscreen, because they miss part of the intended shot. - TFox Jun 14, 21:18 3
        
        except film is as much, if not more so, a visual medium as it is a literary one. The visuals should be just as effective in conveying meaning - znufrii Jun 14, 21:24
        
        "A picture is worth a thousand words" - TWuG Jun 14, 21:23 1
        
        if intended that way, sure. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:23
        
        neither was I... - znufrii Jun 14, 21:14
        
        with perhaps one exception (spoiler) - znufrii Jun 14, 21:01
- If there was a problem, I didn't notice it -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 20:46
- IIRC, they had in the latest printing. -- nm - nubby Jun 14, 20:44

  - Are you rating my post or the movie? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 14, 20:41 2
