However, if you're curious enough to wonder if I'm serious, I do recommend you keep a good supply of aspirins handy.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-33853476830215602842016-11-08T07:56:42.983-08:002016-11-08T07:56:42.983-08:00Ray,

I have to use closed captioning on films I see not because I'm hard of hearing but because I can't understand their mumbled lines. Another pet peeve of mine is a music score that overpowers a movie. Sometimes silence is best. <br />Thanks for yet another excellent review and the heads up on its shortcomings.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-12472809185586139612016-11-07T23:28:09.219-08:002016-11-07T23:28:09.219-08:00The character must have been a trial to anyone she...The character must have been a trial to anyone she lived with, Jennifer - and in this film Vikander as an actress herself wanted, if not a slapping, then a damn good talking to.

That would be unfair but it's certainly played as a tear-jerker - and from that point of view was more dry-eyed annoying than anything else.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-73075844173158480662016-11-07T09:15:37.700-08:002016-11-07T09:15:37.700-08:00Or maybe your TV has a subtitle option, Sol?

Actually, not knowing what she's saying doesn't seem to have that much relevance when it's such a strong story (at least I assume it doesn't matter that much) but it certainly made me feel intensely frustrated. I keep thinking that myself, now at the age of 70, that surely my own hearing must be deteriorating, but I don't find it so in other aspects of my life, so I feel I'm on fairly sure ground here. It can't just be the sound system in the cinema either, as the films I refer to were seen in different cinemas.<br />But in any case it's a film that might well be improved by a glass or three of red.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-41216425162171960262016-11-07T09:13:56.682-08:002016-11-07T09:13:56.682-08:00Chic flick!

Now I dont think so, I swear my hearing is already really quite bad. I dread to think what it will be when I am 60. There is probably no way I would be able to hear her I fear, like I said with accents I find it quite hard. Will wait for the TV showing of it. I can then turn the TV up!
