reversed ghost talks


At the beginning of the film, the two "ghosts" say in french reversed audio :"ça à l'air chouette" "je xx(?)" "j'aime bien le cinema" "on va diner à un pub?" "han" <<ouais, c'est chouette>> "ça dure une heure et demie je pense, c'est bien hun ?

Would you care to translate that for us.?

A little bit of an explanation of how you came to this would also be interesting.

The audio was simply played backwards with somehow pitch variation. If I remember well I ve recorded it to my audio editor and got those things, wish are simply random and kind of easter egg. We hear -I don't know who- people talk in a room and in french.

Translation :
"ça à l'air chouette" => "it seems great"
"je xx(?)" => "I ?" (didn't manage to understand what was said)
"j'aime bien le cinema" => "I like cinema"
"on va diner à un pub?" => "Let's go eat to the pub ?"
"han" => "han"
"ouais, c'est chouette" => "yeah, it's great"
"ça dure une heure et demie je pense, c'est bien hun ?" => "it lasts about one hour and half I think, it's good isn't it ?"

My guess is that the sfx guy doing sound effect with his own voice and ask for acknowledgment to a woman on the same room. This kind of effect is really come on in acousmatic music of early ages

Note : I'm sure there were a little more but it seemed pointless to go further looking to what was said
