# IT'S A BUS

From 'My Neighbour Totoro'. Such a fantastic film.

# the only thing that annoys me about that film
is that before i saw it, i thought 'tot or oh'
but the yank dubbing has it as 'tow tor oh'

# never watch
miyazaki with dubbing, always subs.

# bollocks to that
cartoons only work properly when dubbed
(big fat cocks, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 22:53, archived)
# Lies
the only miyazaki film that works well with the overdubbing is Spirited Away.

# NO IT DOESN'T!
O_O


I have seen both the dubbed version and the subtitled version and seeeriously, the subtitled one has way more oomph to it.

Bah, I fully love foreign cinema and hate to see it raped by American dubbing :(

# I tend to find the one I watch first is the one I prefer,
whichever that may be. Some sort of indelible link between character and voice occurs.

# Don't get me wrong
They are still ACE dubbed.

Just not as ace as they are with Japanese.
It adds to the crazy and surreal vibe, I find.

# shit off :)
i can't watch a proper film that's dubbed, but i can't be arsed reading a cartoon

akira is SO much better dubbed than subbed, and from that point on i have never bothered with subbed cartoons
(big fat cocks, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 22:56, archived)
# i'm cool with either, i don't really mind too much
but sometimes dubbing can be ace i.e patrickk stewart and alfred molina in Steamboy. sometimes it can be down right bizarre i.e. anna paquin in steamboy, playing a 12 year old mancunian boy

With every fibre of my being.



Subtitled films kick arse.

# Precisely!
It probably helps that my dad is deaf and I have grown up with subtitles on the telly, so I'm mega used to reading them quickly and still paying attention to what's going on. However, I am suuuure that having films in the original language makes them miiiles better.

# *high five*
So what are your kinda top foreign films and stuff, if you have any?
(I helped save b3ta! Face will put on her red shoes and nrans the blues, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:11, archived)
# *fives back*
Most miyazaki stuff, Oldboy, Paprika, Battle Royale, City Of God, Letters From Iwo Jima.

These are all amazing films. You?
(I helped save b3ta! PointlessCamel Last one on drugs is a queer., Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:15, archived)
# letters from iwo jime hardly counts as foreign. it was directed by clint eastwood
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:20, archived)
# It was subbed though.
(I helped save b3ta! PointlessCamel Last one on drugs is a queer., Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:24, archived)
# Oldboy for the epic win.
One of my favourite films ever.

I lovelovelove Pan's Labyrinth.

Still a huge fan of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon too...

Letters from Iwo Jima was really good but it kinda narked me that it's an American Film, just feels weird.
Have you seen Brotherhood, by any chance?
(I helped save b3ta! Face will put on her red shoes and nrans the blues, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:20, archived)
# Yeh forgot to mention
Pans Lab and The Orphanage!!! Sry.

Yeh CrouchTiger/FlyingDaggers/Hero all good too.

Not seen brotherhood, I will now though. :)

# Brotherhood's properly good
All the Korean films I've seen have been stunning. Sort of weird, in some cases, but a treat for the old noodle nonetheless.

The Host is one of the crazy ones... I'm sure it makes more sense if you're actually Korean.

Can be purchased for around £3 in many good Dvd stockists.

# i have no money at all at the moment.
i take the view that if someone genuinely cannot afford to pay to see or hear someones art then they should be allowed to see it free. i buy stuff when i can afford it and art is created to be witnessed. if it was me making a film i'd rather have people see my creation than get paid for it.

Plus, it makes you a Pirate and that's fun :)

# hmm
whilst i understand where you are coming from, i mostly* disagree

*'mostly' because i do indulge in piracy on occasion myself
(big fat cocks, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 23:11, archived)
# its also woth considering that those involved in the actual manufacturering of the movies (the actors, writers and directors)
have normally already been paid before the film is shown in cinemas so the only people losing any money are the big corporations who i have no love for at all
