My wife and I rented the movie 'Volver' yesterday and we/she watched it last night. I would like to tell you what it is about but I don't have a clue, except that the title loosely translated in english means "The Return". She lived in Spain for 16 years before we met and taught english to spanish kids over there so she has a good command of speaking, reading, and writing spanish. Now this is no ordinary spanish, according to her, it is catalan! One of her favorite pastimes is to read spanish novels. She even dreams in spanish. The point is she speaks and understands it very well.
Well, she did not want to be annoyed by the subtitles, so she turned off the english subtitles to take in the full experience of the movie. My son and I were soon off to the bedroom TV.
The next time you complain about a 'chick flick' you have to sit through, remember it could be in a different language. :B

PS -I am pretty sure it is a good movie as the director has won 3 academy awards, I just need the subtitles to make sense of it.
