Cassian of Imola posted:that probably wouldn't be so bad since Portuguese and Japanese sound so different, plus you can use different styles for the subtitles. but casting actors, and hiring screenwriters and directors, fluent in both Portuguese and Japanese would be a nightmare Oh I don't think it would be awful by any means. Obviously, the non-English-speaking world has to deal with this kind of friction in any Hollywood movie that includes some foreign languages, so there are techniques to ease it like subtitle styles. But they're trying to get some subtle things across in all those scenes, and it just seems like the way they went with works well.

Toplowtech posted:There used to be bathhouses all over France and they were extremely popular places. In 1560, Queen Catherina di Medici called the last general estate in France until the French Revolution (1789). You used to be able to get prostitutes in your bath in some bathhouses and there was that new disease called syphilis. She had all bathhouses not owned by a religious order closed alongside the brothels. The brothels illegally reopened a few years later, the bathhouses did not.

The article is interesting in that it doesn't say anything anyone posting here doesn't already know, but you can see the "if you've lost them who is left" in the individual writer as well. He is clearly an ultra liberal who talks a lot about the moral restraint and decency the US military has shown, but even Israel is too much for him quote:During the Battle of Mosul, strikes that could be anticipated to kill 10 civilians or more required sign-off from the commanding general of Central Command, which oversees all American military activity across the greater Middle East. Deliberate strikes might have been analyzed by multiple working groups, and precautions taken to limit civilian casualties by using a more precise weapon with a smaller blast radius. Ultimately he draws pretty scathing conclusions. quote:So perhaps October 7 will be Israel’s 9/11, or 20 9/11s—not just because of the scale of the losses, but because of the foolishness and cruelty of the response. And a few years from now, if I talk with a survivor of this devastating war, will he blame Hamas for provoking it? I would guess that he’ll blame the country that bombed him without mercy and restricted the delivery of food while his family starved to death. And he’ll blame America for enabling it. And so will the rest of the world. And they’ll be right. It's restating the same thing the original tweet said, but if you've lost this guy...

I was still in middle school so if there was subtext or even overt stuff to that effect it probably just went right over my head My memory of it is that it’s basically special awesome genius who impresses the natives and works his way into the inner circles though, and when he meets up with his Dutch friends they’re all super embarrassingly gross cause unlike him they weren’t awesome at learning and adapting Definitely some stuff about how he was a prisoner in a gilded cage tho, I remember that much
