non-English-speaking actors in English-language movie, complaining behind the scenes:
“they subtitled my lines with the most inaccurate translation possible”
“not as bad as mine. They just told me to say whatever in my own language, and then they made up subtitles about something relevant to the main character. I spent my whole line shit-talking them. They didn’t notice.”
“They didn’t even care about my line, I’m just background noise. They’re not even gonna subtitle it, except if closed captions are turned on, where it’ll just say ‘speaking foreign language’ ”
“you humans think you have it bad. They dubbed my line over with a fucking red-tailed hawk”
“um. You’re a bald eagle, what line did you even have”
“um obviously it’s my iconic bald-eagle contact call? It means, 'hey look I’m a bald eagle’”
“well at least what they dubbed over it didn’t mean something different”
“helLO. IT MEANT 'HEY LOOK I’M A RED TAIL HAWK.’ EXTREMELY BIG DIFFERENCE”
