Subtitled. I can't stand dubs. It makes everything look like a bad martial arts movie.

Seven Samurai and the like are my bread and butter. Haven't seen too many modern foreign films outside of some mainstream English ones.

The only thing that was bad about the Seven Samurai was the use of muskets...
 
Why? The tinkertoy muskets they were using were introduced by the Portuguese in 1543. They did exist for the period the movie was set.

True, but I didn't like them. :shrug: They kinda took away from the flow...

I dislike when DVD companies get lazy and use the text from "closed captioning for the deaf" as subtitles. Those are wrong so much of the time.

That's patently unfair & need to be remedied immediately. We need close captioning for the blind or I'm going to the (fill in whine to organization about blind people here)

:hmm: What are you sayin' there, Gonz? As a hearing impaired person, I rely on those captions. :devious:
 
Imagine then, the pain of sightlessness at a movie. Do they deserve less?

Can't they just go to a play and feel up the actors instead?

Hey man! That's not fair! If they get to feel up the actors I want to too!

I saw a Korean movie last year that I can't remember the title of. It centered on the war in the 50s of course... about a family torn apart... a big brother joining the service in order to protect his kid brother that was press-ganged. He went on to be a war hero for both sides in a cruel twist of fate... a real nasty greek tragedy of a flick. Anyone know it?
