I was recently watching the Sixth Sense, which prompted me to wonder if I’m the only one that feels like some movies feel truly impossible to follow everything in the story without captions. For this movie specifically, Haley Joel Osment’s character was difficult to hear in his particular speech patterns and hushed voice.
I know Tenet is infamously not-great with it’s sound design that this could be another example.
What are some of yours? Tell me I’m not the only one.
Trainspotting
Modern stuff seems to require subtitles on, older stuff doesn’t. Weird that. Like they’re getting worse at sound design
I don’t know, I just watched Casablanca the other day and boy did I need subtitles…
Or if it’s in a dialect that can be hard to understand. I remember watching a Scottish movie without subtitles not understanding a word said till about half way through. I had to rewatch it from the beginning now that I could mostly translate what was said.
