I would rather watch in English


I don't understand German and If I wanted to read I would get a book. I saw it in English and I enjoyed it. I don't understand the logic of watching a movie in a language you don't understand. Basically the people that are doing the dubbing are reading the subtitles for you and saving you the trouble of reading so you can focus your attention on the visual aspect of the movie. I have a hunch the people that insist in watching a movie in a foreign language are elitist snobs that want every to know that are better that the unwashed masses that prefer watch something they don’t have to read

PS if you understand the language it would make sense to ant to see it in the language it was made in.

PPS When I did watch movies with subtitles I didn't like it when the words didn't stay on the screen long enough to read {I am a fast reader} and many times the words were white and the background was white [or sometime black on black] which made it hard to see them

I watched the dubbed English version. I think some of the tone of the movie was lost because of this.

LOL! Ah, no. Just literately capable, but then I guess you may not know what that means.🐭
