Main?
I've admired the Maysles work since I saw "Salesman" in 1969. "LaLee's Kin" is a fine documentary; I have no criticism of it.
But who wrote these subtitles? Her little grandson's nickname is not "Main" it's MAN, M-A-N. A very common nickname for a little boy whose behavior is "mannish," one I've heard hundreds of times. This same mistake was made in an article in my local paper, only they tried for "Maine."
Isn't this interesting evidence of the huge gulf between our cultures, that the filmmakers could live at such close quarters with people and never understand the name or its etymology? Sad, really.
