Last Film You Saw

Godzilla: Minus One.

Such a dramatic and deep piece of artistic creativity and originality, wrapped in a range of deep acting and meaningful portrayal. Just kidding: generic, in a tough language to follow. Subtitles helped.

I hate subtitles. They take some of your attention away from what's actually happening on screen. That's why I try to avoid films that are 100% in a foreign language.

Actually keep attention more certainly stops me picking up my phone and been distracted.

The anti-reading and anti-multitasking movement speaks. I used to be the same.
The lack of knowing the actors, cast, directors etc certainly counterbalance that effect of subtitles. It becomes second nature to follow, but you can't exit a room at any time. Pause buttons are remarkable.

Some of the greatest movies that I've seen haven't come from Hollywood. Some of the weirdest have been in Cantonese or Korean though! Good movies make you feel, regardless of linguistic ability, or following words on the screen.
 
What You Wish For (2023) - Thriller/horror. Chap assumes a friends identity whilst in another country and soon finds himself deep in trouble. Quirky one this, made a change from the usual stuff.......

It's not a question of "anti-reading" or "anti-multitasking". I prefer to keep my attention for events on the screen. But thanks for your input.

Oh, by the way; one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen was subtitled. "Train to Busan".
