Conducted an interesting experiment. Watched a movie in the theater while holding a subtitle player into which I had pre-loaded subtitles.
Just so happens I chose a very “fortunate” movie for this. Of course, I didn’t regret it at all, the movie “The Revenant” with DiCaprio is simply superb, but the English spoken in it is very indistinct—usually muttered with blood in one’s mouth—making up about 40% of the dialogue, another ten percent is in the Arikara language with subtitles, and the remaining 50% showcases music and wild nature. Well, nearly three hours of run time—normal, the experiment was successful. It’s amazing how subtitles are available even before the film is released on disk.
