Rivernuggets Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Won Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars 2010. But don't let that keep you from seeing it. Very good. I was floored and very satisfied at the end of this one. Warning: subtitles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsave Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks Rnuggets! My lady and I were just discussing seeing this one 2 days ago........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's about a retired lawyer who can't stop thinking about a 20 year old case he worked on. He starts to write a book about it, and visits his old workplace to get opinions from his boss, who still works there. That's all I'm going to say. Don't want to spoil anything. I should say, for mature audiences. It's not as violent and graphic as many fillms, but it has brief scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Warning: subtitles! I personally find that subtitles FORCE me to focus on the 'dialogue' and end up pushing me deeper into the story. If/when I watch Das Boot, I will go out of my way to turn dubbing off and put it into subtitle mode. Now, if I could just get some subtitles for my wife so I'd be forced to better understand her....

Ironsave Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We saw it! I am bilingual; so the subtitles did not bother me. Awesome flick! I find often that foreign movies are a really nice change of pace. This movie was no exception...... Thanks again RNuggets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. When I think back upon a subtitled film, I usually forget that it has subtitles. If I watch it again, then I go, "Oh yeah, that's right!" The blending that goes on in your head is way cool. Now, if I could just get some subtitles for my wife... Haha! I hear ya. My wife and I have been married long enough now that I find myself going "uh-huh, yeah". Then I realize I didn't catch anything she just said. On a good day I'll say "Could you please say that again, I wasn't listening". On a bad day, well you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfway through I looked to my wife and said "I like movies" in the best 8 year old toned voice I could. It has a great balance between the main plot and sub. Same here Iron, they're a great change from so many U.S. movies. Granted there have been more than one foreign film that we go "...um, what?".
