Liam O'Toole -- Pan's Labyrinth reflection

   Good work on the reflection paper.  Your ideas about the ways the film
   connects with the CHQ theme are excellent.  Your issue with subtitles
   is part of a perennial, ongoing debate about how to handle foreign language
   films.  The alternative is to "dub" the dialog with English speaking actors.
   I can really understand film-makers' reluctance to do that, though, because
   unless the dubbing is done really carefully, it's possible to get uninten-
   tionally comic effects either because a voice doesn't really fit the 
   actor's appearance, or because the dubbed dialog does not fit the speech
   portrayed visually on film.  There's no perfect solution, but I actually
   prefer subtitles to dubbing.  That method at least lets you hear the 
   actors' actual voices and the sound of the other language, which can be
   interesting in and of itself!
