If I wanted to read I would open a book.

My dad hates subtitles so much that while watching some dogshit bbc show where some characters are briefly speaking subtitled german he turned on Narration for the Blind just so he wouldn't have to read them.
>>
>>220003437
There's nothing wrong with subtitles per se, but if a movie has them, it's an indication that the content of the movie is shit.
>>
>>220003488
>"Character walks into room.:
>"man sits in chair opposite woman"
>"man enters car"
This irritation in every other scene was worth it so he wouldn't have to read for even a second. He hates subtitles like I hate ads.
But he doesn't hate ads at all.

Americans won't watch subtitled films because they're mostly functionally illiterate.
>>
>>220003437
and yet gooks and nips won't go watch a foreign movie unless it's dubbed into their own language.

Edgar Wright soifacing over Bong and spam posting photos of him was one of the strangest things I’ve seen someone do in a while

pal your country exists so i can jerk off to hot asian women, if you aren't putting them nude on screen and having them lesbo kiss, hit the bricks.

>>220003869
I was stationed in sk last year. Majority of the shit in theatres was American (english) movies, most of them didnt even have subtitles.
I did a quick Google search thinking japs knew English as well as Koreans and thats not true at all.

Thanks subtitles

same here, but lets keep in mind that there's some people who don't even have an internal monologue. and there's people on here right now who will watch stuff like fishtank and the boys. they simply don't have the brain power to automatically read subs.

SDH subtitles are cancer
>>
>>220003488
Well your dad is a brainlet and most likely so are you. Reading subtitles is a passive thing, only people who will look at text and have to read it out loud hate subtitles.
>>
>>220003437
I don't get the hate for subtitles. Without subtitles I wouldn't understand half of the mumbled shit in English movies.
>>
>>220003437
They have actors dubbing the blockbuster releases. Bong was disingenuous. Arthouse indies always show subs.
>>
>>220003437
I have AI translating and dubbing all foreign movies for me. the chink can suck it!
>>
>>220005542
I always use subtitles for english speaking movies and TV as well because the sound design can be so bad it's really hard to hear. I guess some people just take great pride in the fact that they cant read
>>
>>220003437
I agree with him.
None of those films are korean though.
>>
>>220005938
Never had this issue, check your hearing or get a better sound system.
>>
only americunts shitalians and ruskians are illiterate enough to not be bale to watch a film with subtitles
>>
>>220006257
you have korea derangement syndrome
>>
it's not just americans, inferior cultures like russians and poles also only watch films and shows with shitty voiceover if they don't have an official dub (which happens often for TV shows and smaller-scale film releases like the lighthouse)
>>
>>220007538
pooland and russkians usually didnt even have access to the original non ADRed versions of the film, like the germans did, so they usually did the voiceover like a UN NATION translation with the original dialogue being heard under the dubbing
>>
>>220005499
NTA but the only problem with subtitles I have is control. I would like to have control on its size, font and synchronization whcih thankfully is feasible with online subtitles and media player features

This.
My 95-year-old grandmother watched Emmerdale with subtitles, she didn't understand English.
So, it baffles me how people in their prime struggle to read subtitles. It's always some pathetic excuse like "I'm too slow" or "I have dyslexia."
If you want, you can. Truth is, people who can't bother to read subtitles are lazy and find excuses to justify their laziness.
>>
>>220003437
You could always watch the dub version
>>
>>220003437
If you knew how to read you wouldn't be browsing 4chan.

i literally only read subs if the film isnt dubbed. it distracts me from the cinematography. and if your audio is shit im not watching, nolan.

i read faster than they talk so im always looking up and down the screen. if it’s dubbed i’d rather watch that. its not too hard to believe. it sucks if you wanna watch an action or horror movie

don't even get me started on the quality of translations
>>
If you have any real interested in foreign media, you should just learn the language instead of settling for a watered down, overly localised pile of vomit designed to fit into 2 lines of text.
>>
>>220003437
I used to leave subtitles on for everything but eventually realized I was indeed missing things visually by reading the subtitles. And it's small what I miss, milliseconds of content but still I was missing things and that started to bug me.
>>
>>220008536
yeah just become a polyglot real easy
>>
>>220003847
>>
>>220007722
Never seen a negro read? They have to do it out loud and real slow like. People who can't handle subs are like that.
>>
>>220003437
Maybe you should so you wouldn't have aversion to reading
>>
>start watching some English film
>better put on subtitles just in case
>spend my time raging at mistranslations or when translator tries to "improve" the script
Does this happen to anyone else?

Korean cinema is crap these days.
Their renaissance of quality gritty crime movies only lasted about a decade, from the late 90s to the late 00s, and they've been putting out mostly garbage ever since.

grow up, the real renaissance of Korean cinema were the melodramas of the 90s and early 2000s

>>220003437
why would a filmmaker have this stupid opinion?
no matter how small and no matter how fast you read without looking, subtitle always destroy the whole fucking picture
even if it takes a split second of you conscience to get them its still a split second you give away where you could have enjoyed the cinematography, acting or scenery
subs never feel natural, they always stand out and ruin every frame for me
>>
>>220007710
>it distracts me from the cinematography.
And destroying half of the actors performance because of a shitty dub isn't distracting to you? the absolute state of dub retards

why can't they read?

I've watched all 15+ Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman movies with subtitles because it wasn't available with dubs. I think it was worth it. Good movies.
>>
>>220008627
I've trained myself to ignore subtitles because of this, they're still nice to have as backup in case I miss something.

Not if they're korean.

How would you watch high and low or world on a wire
>>
>>220003437
Well maybe you should open a book. Americans are the least intelligent people on this planet and every time you hear them talking about other countries you don't know whether you should cringe or cry.

Does paying attention mean you can somehow decipher a new accent or an actor garbling his line? This is what happens when you spend too much time here, your brain automatically filters what you read through stereotypes.
