A few people always give me funny looks when they come to the house and I pause an English film, and I have the subtitles on. Thinking about it, I have no idea why I do it, and it has become habit.
Anyone else do this?

Subtitles
Do you watch movies that are in a language you are comfortable with, with subtitles?

Re: Subtitles
I do but mostly at night. And sometimes if the movie features dialogue with heavy accents/dialects (Scottish etc.)

Ahm, no, I never do that. What's the fun in that?Samuel_Scott wrote:Do you watch movies that are in a language you are comfortable with, with subtitles?

Re: Subtitles
I watch them with English subtitles when available. Prefer English ones over Swedish on English-speaking films, because my mind automatically zone out the dialogue when I can just look at the Swedish text and that makes me miss the subtle things in the voice.Samuel_Scott wrote:Do you watch movies that are in a language you are comfortable with, with subtitles?

Re: Subtitles
I often do this, especially when dialogue is buried in the sound mix or there are other things going on around the house that distract my hearing from the dialogue.Samuel_Scott wrote:Do you watch movies that are in a language you are comfortable with, with subtitles?

Perhaps oddly, I find that I also have to turn on subtitles when I'm watching a film whlst eating: I can't listen and eat at the same time, apparently

Re: Subtitles
Are you talking about watching movies in your native language? In that case, it's something new to me.Perhaps oddly, I find that I also have to turn on subtitles when I'm watching a film whlst eating: I can't listen and eat at the same time, apparently
