subtitles aren't horrible, reading is!

hahaha, I went to go see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in a movie theatre in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Needless to say, I was the ONLY person at the 8pm, Saturday showing

Guess some people just don't like to read... but obviously YOU do, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

We're used to subtitles down here... I wonder why

Because Americans like everything to be quick, fast and instantaneous.

Theres no such thing as purity anymore in television and film. By purity I mean, being able to watch something for it's qualities and substance. Something that will be able to communicate to the audience that something spectacular is happening.

Great novels do this. We read and become acquainted with the characters and fold ourselves into the story. We read to become one with the book. Its only after you read a really good novel, that you realize how good it actually was, the characters, the pace, the setting, everything just melded into one. It can happen to any book and anyone.

Films are the same way, they can move us, they can bring us to tears, they can acquaint us with characters so rich and fulfilling.... but is that the mark of a good movie? sometimes yes, and sometimes no...


thing is, a film shouldn't be just a way to leave the real world behind, it should be a way to immerse ourselves in the director's vision, through sight, sound and images (cinematography and editing).

Same thing with television. We are a smart society, we can deduce things to a great extent, so why do we need applause signs to tell us when to clap? why do we need laugh tracks to tell us when to laugh?

A good show(whether film or television) should be great because it makes us clap or laugh without using the artificial instigator. We know when to laugh, when to cry and when to clap... At the end of a great film, novel or television show.
