No need for the hate.
shareYou missed out on a very enjoyable experience.
shareThey're really adorable. but I also thought they acted young for their age (25 at the time.) Admittedly, though, I'm still watching it. One gets nervous in certain situations. Cameras do crazy things to people.

I am trying to watch this but the music is so loud I cannot understand all of the dialogue, what the heck is up with that. <rhetorical question> It is just so frustrating I want to turn it off. Didn't they edit and view this movie before they released it, did they not realize how loud the sound was over the dialogue? Well I guess that's to be expected with amateurs.
shareThere may be something wrong with your equipment used for viewing. After reading your comment I went back and viewed parts of several sections where there is talking and music and the music (on my playback) is never too loud and the dialog is easy to understand. Plus there are many sections with dialog and no music.
So I suppose I don't see what you are complaining about.

Hello TxMike - when I first read your reply I thought "I have a new TV, what could be wrong?" Well last week I was watching something (I can't even remember what it was, this happens when you are 71) and the music was so loud I could barely hear the people talk - I thought about your comment. So I found the settings on my Smart TV and found that my sound was set for "movies" I saw one that was "standard" and switched to that setting. OMGosh - I can hear dialogue and the music is in the background - very low. If it wasn't for your comment I would never, ever have checked that. So thank you very much. :)
shareYou're welcome, I am a 70-yr-old myself and I have a long love of sound reproduction equipment so I still experiment a lot with it, getting good sound that is. Just last week I added a ROKU stick to my system to get more online streaming programming and so far, so good! I'm still changing audio settings to get the best sound and video mix.

THANK YOU! I could not make out half of what was said in the movie and I thought I was losing my hearing. Several times I had to interpret what they said by how they ended a sentence. As much as the story was interesting, the lack of understanding half of what was said was beyond annoying.

Too bad you didn't read the rest of the subthread with cygrandma.
shareFair dos. I've just hit 10 minutes and I love it so far.
shareIt's not bad, it just suffers from the same fate as every other grassroots documentary: way too much filler.
The dream sequence scene, the scene of Samantha eating in California, etc. Lots of unnecessary filler.

When logic and science aren't on your side, you always lose.
I had the same initial reaction to the beginning. The women seemed very young for their age, and all the texting/emojis/"pop"-ing, etc. was really getting on my nerves. But as the film unfolds, you get a more complex view of the girls, especially during their trip to Korea.
It was an overwhelming experience, so I think, at the beginning, they were just reverting a bit as they took it all in.
I can't speak for Korea, but in Japan, acting very young and girlish is considered sexy, which is why you will see adult woman giggling like teenagers with their hands covering their mouths. It's not that they do it deliberately, it's just a cultural thing. We tend to be opposite here where mature is considered sexy, which is why we put little girls in high heels and make-up and put them in beauty pageants at such a young age. I suspect that is why the women seemed so young for their age.
Neither of them grew up in Korea -- they were American and British.
shareAnd the British sister was actually rather serious and shy, relatively sophisticated. The California girl was the giggly one, and I think it was just infectious, especially because they both felt so very awkward at the beginning. I don't know what the hell I would do if I found out I had an identical twin. It's rather stunning to see that mirror image of yourself, when you never even knew it existed.
shareThe "bristish" one is french actually. I thought they both represented pretty well the places they grew up in..
