I have been trying to understand this film as I could not hear much of the dialogue and my subtitles went missing as they often do with my Sky box. Is it a good film as I have given up on it now and, like another poster, I can barely decipher the speech and rely on subtitles although I am not hard of hearing?
Recorded this. Hope that we haven't got another example of the briefly fashionable penchant for shuffle/shuffle/noises of set sound-tracks which destroyed much of my pleasure in watching the otherwise superb "French Connection". Wasn't Coppola's "The Conversation" similarly blighted?
I've had this in my film collection for a while now and did start to watch it, sound wasn't a problem but the length of it... it registers over three hours... is it worth it?
I don't understand why your subtitles went missing on your Sky box, unless you were watching on Catchup TV. I never lose subtitles on my box, except when watching on Catchup. Perhaps your box needs 'housekeeping'. You can get this done by Sky over the phone or using your remote if you're confident enough.
I will give it another look though I was just thinking this is going to be too long for me... also aware it won an Oscar for De-Caprio, whom I do rate, and based on a true story.... so will give it another bat.
An excellent film and well worth persevering with. I saw it a couple of years back and recommended it to my friend last night, warning him to put his subtitles on as he would need them, particularly when Tom Hardy was speaking. Great actor but he sometimes does get too much into character, imho. As Gizmo says, the bear scene isn't for the faint-hearted but i rewound the film several times to watch it over. It is THAT good. Didn't watch last night but recorded it for when there's nowt on.
I saw it yesterday on Netflix and could not have enjoyed it without the subtitles. A powerful film and well deserved credits for superb cinematography.
I am clearly a Phillistine. I thought it was the most gloomy depressing film I've ever seen, not even a moment to lift the spirits, didn't care a jot about any of the characters, really unpleasant in fact.
Leonardo di caprio is one of many american actors who are renowned mumblers. Steven Seagal is also fluent in mumbling. So the other night when the revenant was on i just gave up....one thing though....tom hardy does a quality american accent
I love it, excellent film but I have noticed that it depends wildly now on which TV I watch anything whether I can hear things properly or not so the issue I think is in the sound mix not with the actors themselves.
