Reading a MOVIE ?

I have a ( not sure if it's a bad ) habit. Whenever i watch movie, my eyes will automatically focus on the subtitles ( Not only English movies, Chinese movies as well ok? ;p ).

Dunno why .. but i think i can understand the movie better if i watch with the subtitles. You knowlah, my England sometimes quite powderful one. So it's better for me to refer to the subtitles, just in case i ter'get' other story ( got the wrong meaning of the lines, cos sometimes i really can't catch what they said, esp. English la ;p ) But it's another way of entertainment for me, cos sometimes you'll get some very funny words at the subtitles ( esp. English to Malay ~ tennis court = 'mahkamah' tenis LOL).

But sometimes i missed some very interesting details, cos too focus on the subtitles instead of the visual.:(
I guess next time i should write ' read movies' instead of ' watch movies' as hobby huh? ;p


Do you have the same habit?

  6. i think subtitles could be a distract.. sometimes i'll go to the subtitles (even chinese movies) and stay there for a while, but most of the time i would prefer to not read the subtitle and concentrate watching and listening to the scripts, this would indeed help you to get into the movie more easily.. unless no choice is some foreign language i don't understand, then subtitle is a must lah..
