Same with translated books; the originals may be better, but a great translation can bring us close to the brilliance of the original, and it's better than never getting a chance to read the book at all.<br /><br />Also, I'd say that each one of us brings our own experiences to everything we read and see, so that even things we see in our own language (or languages) affects us in different ways, merely because our experiences in life are all unique. By the same token, Ozu's films might move me in a different way from a Japanese person, which might move him in a different way from an Indian, which might move him in a different way from a British citizen.Greg Salvatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730593838362270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453503290491393866.post-30399678275296031132010-03-23T22:29:20.899+05:302010-03-23T22:29:20.899+05:30@Lola Re

Even the gap between a husband and wife remains unbridged completely, even after decades. But that is precisely the challenge. Watching a movie or reading a book is a challenge, whether in one's own tongue or another. Actually I am grateful to subtitles for opening so many windows throughout the world, even if partially.S M Rananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453503290491393866.post-81827555376695622742010-03-23T19:00:13.574+05:302010-03-23T19:00:13.574+05:30I love Swedish clothing and I think I'd love S...I love Swedish clothing and I think I'd love Swedish films too..

The only Bergman I've seen is <i>The Seventh Seal</i> and bits and pieces of <i>Smiles of a Summer Night</i> (later remade by Sondheim as <i>A Little Night Music</i>). Indeed, I wish I knew more languages (or knew them better, in the case of French and Japanese) so that I wouldn't have to rely on subtitles so much.Greg Salvatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730593838362270359noreply@blogger.com
