In Reply to: 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.
