Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language.

  Although I love it when they subtitle the inaudible-but-foreshadowing news anchor in the background.

    Snatch is a completely different movie if you can understand Bradd Pitts character.

      It also helps if you like daggs

  SDH subtitles (subtitles for the deaf & hard of hearing) describe all the relevant sounds in a scene including background song lyrics, there is likely to be another plain subtitle track if you don’t want that

    Oh if only. I’ve seen two tracks on occasion on streaming services but it’s extremely rare. I think it was on Netflix or Prime and it’s been years since I’ve seen it. As someone who is not hard of hearing but just has a little trouble understanding sometimes it’s very useful to have the option that’s exclusively dialogue.

    English subs typically are never plain unfortunately

  If the song lyrics are relevant to the scene, sure I could see them being there. Like those songs that are custom written to do a sort of 4th wall breaking live commentary on the characters. But a lot of songs? Not needed at all.

  I don’t mind stuff like that when it’s at the top of the screen like a fansub

    That’s a good idea.

  Or there’s no lyrics but the subtitles keep repeating “heat” or “scary”.

    I’ve not had scary yet, but heat does come up a lot for me in autogenerated subs when it can’t figure out wtf is going on.

    Gentle backing music:

    Subtitles: Heat

  I don’t mind it as long as they do something like italics and little music notes or either end
