I read somewhere that an american woman went to the movie theater in england and there were subtitles. is this true? do you do it own your own if you are watching a movie in your house|||No dont think so, im scottish and never heard of anybody recently wanting subtitles to watch an american/brittish film, it is funny if its true. But i have heard that the scottish film Trainspotting by Danny Boyle was Subtitled/Re dubbed for the American Audience as they coudnt understand the Edinburgh 'scottish' accents...(Even i find it difficult to understand Glaswegian accents and im from Edinburgh)...lol....Only in America.
EDIT. well it was dubbed for sure. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/triv… and ken loach's Riff Raff was subtitled http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn… and a lot of other brittish films (ie Gregorys girl) redubbed or subtitled for the american audience.|||No! It might have been a French movie with English sub-titles, but not American with sub-titles
Sometimes Americans are a little hard for British/Australian people to understand, especially Southern drawls, but mainly it's not too bad and I've never seen sub-titles for American movies in England or Australia!
I think it's harder for Americans to understand some British accents (like Scottish and Irish and London cockney) than it is for us to understand American accents.
We are so exposed to the American culture that it's not difficult to understand the accents.|||Haha, I use subtitles when watching DVDs at my house! My friends hate it, they always make me turn the subtitles off. But although I can hear fine and can understand what's going on in a movie, I find subtitles to be convenient.
You don't even KNOW how much you've missed in a movie until you use subtitles... Even favorite movies of mine that I've watched over and over, I seem to find new things in them whenever I use subtitles.|||no cause the americans on movies all have really good accents, however do americans use subtitles when they have americans playing irish peolple.|||Nope!
Like the others have said, only films that have been made in another language get subtitles. Why waste money making subtitles for something we can understand?|||Totally untrue. The only time subtitles are used are in foreign language movies.|||haha no offence its not like your speaking another language tbh your speaking our language you just changed it a little :P|||Lol no reason why we should use subtitles- after all it's our language you guys are using :/|||no the only time subtitles are used in cinema are when foreign films are being shown|||No this is not true. First I've heard of it actually!?!|||no we do not, its easier understanding americans than it is some rural ares of Britain|||No|||no lol
