(which is why i don't understand why we have actors performing in movies where they can't speak the language and their dialogues have to be dubbed. bengali movies seem to have a lot of that.) besides, i also get irritated with the no lip-sync thing. i feel that the effort they make to dub the movie is better channelised to creating intelligent, intelligible sub-titles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1100097805758571872004-11-10T20:13:00.000+05:302004-11-10T20:13:00.000+05:30Aaah! Kind words for me, I see. I'll take it with ...Aaah! Kind words for me, I see. I'll take it with a pinch of salt...but maybe, unless one of your many 'accomplices' want to catch it with you, we could plan it together for sometime this weekend. What say you?<br />NOTE 1: I'll ignore the Adam Sandler jibe. Like I explained to you before, picked up Anger Management (the only Sandler flick I've seen) more because it shouted 'JACK NICHOLSON' bigger than 'Adam Sandler' on the cover.<br />NOTE 2: Have learnt something over the years, primarily because Ajitha doesn't speak or read Bengali. Every single subtitled Bengali film I have watched with her has been an outright disaster. Simply because Indians don't have a clue about sibtitling. Now, through those days of Sunday afternoon DD 'award-winning' film-watching, it never occured to me that I might be missing so much. Now I know...because it can't be so different. It can't be that only Bengalis can't translate and stuff. Dubbed is better, however bad it might be.Black Muddy Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955846722038215253noreply@blogger.com
