When watching foreign, non-English language films, do you prefer reading subtitles or watching an English-dubbed version?
Personally, I enjoy watching original films with subtitles. I like hearing the real voices of the actors, even if I don’t particularly understand what they’re saying. Sometimes, dubbing takes away the nuances of performance - translations can deplete some subtleties, and not to mention that I find the out-of-synch audio and lip movements annoying. But I guess it all come down to preference. Like choosing between a Kohler faucet and an ordinary faucet.
Some of the non-English movies I recently watched are Pan’s Labyrinth (Spanish), Angel A (French), Let the Right One In (Swedish), Water (Hindi), and So Close (Mandarin). Made me want to learn a new language. Spanish or French are preferred.
Subtitles! Even in animes, I want to hear the original voice.
