Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

Hi, Jean-Noël,
I don't seem to be able to send a private message; the new set-up of this forum doesn't recognize me, alas! 8-( How quickly they forget! Well, I'm glad to learn that Le Bateau is now available with believable language. Is this dubbing or subtitles? The ridiculously cleaned-up dubbed version in English was one that I taped off the TV; God only knows when and by whom it was made. The re-mastered director's cut, and the DVD of the TV miniseries, have subtitles, and I'm glad to say that they're every bit as crude as the real dialogue! I don't think there's much that couldn't be said nowadays in an American film, by the way--if anything. That's the reverse side of Puritanism: wallowing in whatever the sin of the moment is perceived to be, and getting a great thrill out of it. Which is why drugs should be legalized, but don't get me started . . .
à bientôt,
Meg
