Let’s go to the movies, let’s go see a show…
Last night D and I went to see the beautiful movie, Hero. When we purchased our tickets, the young lady said to us, “You know it has subtitles, right?”
All I could do was stare at her in disbelief. Not because I wasn’t previously aware that it had subtitles, but because she said it in such a way that maybe the fact that it had subtitles would deter us from seeing the movie.
D was right on the ball and said, “That’s fine. We know how to read. If we didn’t then there would be problems.”
ha! actually mateo here mentioned that they asked him the same thing. so I’m wondering if the silliness is less the part of the ticket-taker, and more the part of the general populace, who probably demand their money back for having to read the movie?
that’s right…they have to put that “warning” up because in the past moviegoers have been upset that there were subtitles.
Such a sad commentary on our culture.
