In Reply to: RE: A simple poll: is it hard for you to watch or appreciate sub-titled films? posted by tinear on August 15, 2012 at 11:09:19

It's not hard to watch, but I think there's a disconnect when you're watching/reading subtitles instead of watching the characters and the movie.
Does it make it hard to appreciate, maybe for some. I think it's more that some people like foreign films and can accept the shortcomings (mainly language) and others don't/are not willing to do so.
Most of the films mentioned here are US films because most of the posters are US/Canadian and appreciate movies that are made by similar people.
I watch maybe 1-2 movies a month, usually 0. I watch them for entertainment, that's all.

I'm curious why you watch "only for entertainment." Do you consider - tinear 14:35:25 08/15/12 (2)
film not a serious medium? I assume you listen to music (since the parent of this forum is more or less for serious listeners) for more than entertainment?
My opinion is that film is as great as any human artistic or intellectual pursuit, but I'm a self-describing film fanatic.

  I do not really consider film a "serious medium", no. To me it is simply entertainment. Music is an entirely different game, it is emotional.
