funny about Let the Right One In. I put it in my Netflix queue, and sat down with my dinner to check it out. Then found out it was subtitled. I can't eat a dinner and read subtitles at the same time. So I skipped it. Haven't come back to it yet.
As a sound guy, I realize much is lost with overdubbing, such as voice continuity with the rest of the sound mix, match of face with sound of voice, and most importantly, the actors artful inflection. Still, although I read books, and I'll read subtitles, I really don't like watching a film with subtitles. It's distracting, I miss some of the visuals, and there's always a subtitle that flashes too fast. Subtitles is not the way the director intended it, any less than overdubs. Especially if it's done well, I prefer an overdubbed film to subtitles. I actually have to be in the right mood for subtitles.
