English subtitles?
Is there an edition anywhere with English subtitles? I would really like to see this movie but cannot speak any German.
shareI guess, nobody wants to translate that movie because the saxonian slang cannot transmitted over subs. Better you learn the german language to understand that special eastern slang ;)
Saxonian version from the movie: "Dor Vadder ä' Schläschor. De Mudder änne Hure. Scheene Eldorn habsch!" :D
German version: "Der Vater ein Schläger. Die Mutter eine Hure. Schöne Eltern habe ich!"
The English translation would be "The Father a fighter, the mother a b*tch, I have nice parents!" ... absolutely boring ;)
btw ... I was born in Saxonia and living near Berlin for over 26 years. So I understand the saxonian slang but I speak the Berlin slang today.
What would be nice, is if there would even be German subtitles!
I am not a native German speaker, but at least I can read German.
I searched, but there is nothing. I can't understand why so many German DVDs lack subtitles, even for people with hearing problems.
because, sadly, germany is a 'dub country'...
the (vast) majority of people isn't used to reading subs...
A similar movie which does have English subtitles is Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1064932/.
The soundtrack is in a mixture of 'proper' French and northern French dialect (Ch'ti), but the English subtitles are very carefully written so as to convey the nuances of the dialect.
