Overdubbing destroys a movie.  |
That's kinda harsh. Overdubbing does change the nature of the dialogue, for sure, and it ruins a lot of jokes too (or rather, the jokes just don't translate so they put something lame in its place. But you would soon get cheesed off if every movie available to you were in Gudjerati or some-such and you had to read the subtitles all the time.
The US has the lion's share of the movie market, but it is only fair that people should be allowed to see it dubbed into a language they understand in their own countries, ffs.
