Subtitles

Expecto_Patronum

Just interested in people's preference over subtitles. I hear many neurodivergent people say that they find it much easier to watch tv and follow what is happening if they have the subtitles on. I don't find this at all. If there are subtitles, I forget to watch the actual program because I'm fixated on reading the subtitles.

  • I love movies and really enjoy watching movies in other languages with the subtitles: I find I pay a lot more attention from start to finish, compared to a movie in English.  But I don't think I'd pay subtitles much attention for UK TV programmes

    I also can't stand Movies that are dubbed into English, I think part of the issue is the lip sync is out and also it seems less authentic and a lesser movie once dubbed. I started to watch "All Quiet on the Western Front"  a couple of years back which automatically started streaming in English - absolutely awful, started it again in German with subtitles, so much better.
