I'm trying to watch more foreign movies, since my Net-flix account has indicated that I've already seen all of the American movies. The only problem with foreign films is that I can't help but feel that I'm the butt of the joke. That the dialogue is poorly translated just to purposefully cut me out of inside jokes between the peoples of other culture. I just watched this Italian flick called "Bread and Tulips" that is supposed to be an award winning comedy. I enjoyed the movie, but I didn't know it was a comedy until after I watched it and read some reviews. This leads me to believe that either the movie was poorly translated- on purpose- so that I would feel dumb or- and this is the more desirable option- that other cultures simply have terrible senses of humor. I'm trying to be open minded about other countries having decent senses of humor, though, so I'm more inclined to think that I'm correct in my assumption that movies are translated sloppily just so that I will feel insecure. Is it too much to ask for a little respect?
