Really most theaters I know you can rent a little plexiglass thing which gives you subtitles from a rear projector.
What the fuck?
Most theaters I know simply put the subtitles in the local language in EVERY movie.
Yeah but the thing about being British is the local language is English. So I don't need subtitles to watch John Wick.
Usually subtitles are only for the benefit of people who are deaf who obviously aren't very large percentage of the population so they get a little plexiglass thing so everyone else doesn't have to look at pointless subtitles.
I'm also a native English speaker and I tend to disagree. I often find it hard to understand what the actors are saying due to poor sound quality and/or mixing. The explosions are too loud, the speech is too soft and I find myself turning on subtitles and playing around with the volume when watching movies at home.
