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.

I think.

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

      - if intended that way, sure. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:23
