One time, local-dialect subtitles completely changed a movie experience for me
It was an American movie. Where I was, they usually watch movies with english audio and neutral Spanish subtitles
This time, instead of neutral Spanish, they used local Spanish with slang… wow, what a difference in the way the movie felt
Having local language and slang can convey meaning and emotions so much more effectively
Otherwise, it's someone typing as fast as the movie goes on the first viewing.
