Tomas Alfredson - Let the Right One In Blu-ray / Låt den rätte komma in + subtitles - Page 15 - Blu-ray Forum

zxvfrr41 · 03-25-2009, 08:51 PM

Reading all of the posts about the subtitles just made me think of something. When I popped in the blu-ray, I wanted to experience the movie in its original language with English subtitles. I thought I had set it in the setup, but I wasn't getting any subtitles. I checked again and verified it was set to English. Still no subtitles. I then noticed that there was an English-2 option with the subtitles and when I chose that, I got the subtitles to display (not the original screener but the "dumbed down" version). I thought it was strange that there weren't any subtitles when I originally chose English but then got them when I chose English-2. Did anyone else notice this?

That's like saying there's nothing wrong with original version of 5th Element. Buy the original one AND the newer one for the "fans"

Yes. In the disc menu, the English-1 subtitles are labeled as "narrative", i.e., they're meant to be used with the English dub and only have translations of on-screen text such as the notes that Eli writes to Oskar.

If they decide on there own to change the subtitles then yes thats incorrect. Maybe stuff like that is fine with you but not to me. I want to see the movie the way it was intended. You can't honestly look at both sets of subtitles and think the disc version is the correct one.

SleeperAgent · 03-26-2009, 04:19 AM

Could they not release the newer subtitles for download to your blu-ray player? I mean that's one of the great aspects of it being connected to the internet. I couldn't be that big of a file to just add a new subtitle option. You're not changing the lossless audio or anything.

Red Hood · 03-26-2009, 04:35 AM

I thought it was great when I watched it with subtitles, I don't guess it's gonna matter to me one way or another. Maybe I can pick up a copy cheap since people will be dumping there first copy.

owa · 03-26-2009, 02:14 PM

I'll probably pick up the new version but it's not clear-cut to me whether it'll be any "better". For the most part, the emotion or whatever I get from the scene is more from their voice and body language (and what they're doing) than what they're actually saying. Unless the subtitles are changing major plot-points, like the wrong version saying something like "kill the guy" and the theatrical version saying "leave the guy alone", something that totally changes the meaning of the scene, I doubt I'll notice a difference.

i started on English DTS-HD, then the dubbed audio in the class scene (smoke in the lungs) scene just hit me "this is cheesy as hell", so i switched to Swedish DTS-HD and English subs. The only time in the movie where the subs made no sense was when they were lying in bed, there was one or two questions which made no sense whatsoever. overall, the subs issue doesn't bother me.

overall, great movie. dissappointed there wasn't much special features, although the director gave great context on sweden and how that little village square in 1982 was all government offices but now is all video stores, ice cream, etc. explains the utter bleakness of the setting. also, i liked how ebert said "a vampire can't enter a room uninvited, hence the title"..good stuff! will buy!!

Minimejer05 · 03-26-2009, 09:13 PM

Just heard about the subtitle issue. Since I havent bought it yet I guess I will wait for the next version.

reece · 03-27-2009, 01:27 AM

So I was about to purchase let the right one in the other day until i stumbled across this article about the subtitles....

http://iconsoffright.com/news/2009/0...les_in_to.html

If the differences didn't really effect the movie I wouldn't care..but it looks like they really ****ed this one up. I guess Magnolia has already commited to fixing the problem but I can't seem to find out when..and I really want a copy of this movie. Does anybody have information on when the newly authored discs will show up? thanks

graf1k · 03-27-2009, 01:46 AM

Wow, I guess it's kind of lucky my copy from Amazon took so long to get here. I'll be sending it right back and waiting for the updated one I guess.

deadhatetheliving · 03-27-2009, 02:16 AM

Great what a ****ing waste of my time and money. I can't stand dubed movies so this will sit on my shelf til a can con someone into buying it.

donaldheil · 03-27-2009, 02:40 AM

If anyone cares, the spanish subtitles in this Blu Ray are mostly direct translations of the english subtitles. So they are f **ed too.

reece · 03-27-2009, 07:14 AM

sorry i tried searching "let the right one in" in forums and absolutely nothing turned up...I don't know how else to find out if the issue was covered or where to post about it

odin24 · 03-27-2009, 07:51 AM

I just purchased/watched this on BD last weekend... I'm almost certain it contained the theatrical subs... I'm at work right now, I'll verify after.

Nocturnx99 · 03-27-2009, 01:25 PM

hey everyone,
since i haven't seen anything about a date for the new subtitles...
has anyone happened to get a new copy yet?
i got mine from amazon, watched and loved the movie... but now i see what the big deal is with the terrible subs. i have to buy the new one when its released

DeadDog · 03-27-2009, 01:26 PM

I have this from netflix right now but haven't watched it. Given the subtitle issue, is it still worth watching? I hate dubbed movies so that is not a option for me. I realize that there is a considerable difference, but will I still enjoy the movie?

I figure f I like it enough I will watch it again at a later time with the correct subtitles in place (once it's released).

I got it from netflix and enjoyed it, apparently ignorance is bliss. Of course every post was high praise and best film of the year, best vampire movie ever until somebody actually had to point out the subs were different from the theater.

Yeah, I kinda wish I wouldn't have found out about this till after I had seen it. I feel like the whole time I watch it I'll be thinking about how this isn't really what they're saying.

Ohh well. I'm gonna watch it anyway. Thanks.
