Post Subject: What do you think of this production?Posted by rickmcinnis on: 9/25/2013

I have been tempted to get it but would like to hear what you think of it.
I do not understand the dislike of subtitles. They come in handy when dealing with mumbling actors even speaking one's native language.
Dubbed movies, I understand, are the norm in Russia. Certainly not here. One either gets used to sub-titles or is limited to US and British stuff.
I do not think I have ever watched a dubbed movie that I liked better than the original soundtrack and sub-titles.
Most of the dub actors seem to be reading the lines with little knowledge of what is on the screen.
The first few chapters of that book are incredible. AS it goes along it does tend to veer into silliness (which I think would be impossible to recreate visually). After all is said and done I agree its reputation is deserved. Maybe one would need to experience Soviet life to have a full understanding of the imagery.
