Yesterday we went to the movies. We attempted to go see something a few weeks ago but could not find the film in original language. It is actually still a problem to find the movies you want to see not dubbed in German. I very much believe that dubbing the movies destroys the original. It is obvious that everything is recorded in a studio, the speech does not match the lip movements and just hearing someone like Sean Connery or Morgan Freeman speaking German is simply wrong. Here they are used to it though and many prefer the German versions, obviously. Many think it is a nuisance to read subtitles.
However, Despicable Me 2, runs close by in original language. Luckily! I was almost expecting having to wait until I get back to Sweden to watch movies in the cinema. We have been waiting for this film for a long time and it did not let us down. Very funny. Go see it! 🙂
Another thing about going to the movies here is the break… Yes, they do make a break in the middle of the movie. When you are really into it and it is exciting and you just want to see how it continues the screen goes black and the lights are turned on. Come on! I guess the reason is that they sell beer at the theater so people need a toilet break and time to get another one. Annoying if you are not used to it. Next time I have to buy a beer to make it worth while.
