star Wars is funny... English speech, but with alien characters... :)
If all the translations were perfect and the actors were just as good I wouldn't mind as much, but that's never true... and some things just work better in their native language.
As for this being just like Americans... well, all societies like their own society. But yes, America probably is more distinctly anti-understanding-others than most nations... between our history, the "we are far away from them, why should we have to understand them?', etc... America and appreciating world culture haven't mixed very well, historically.
But even so, there's a reason movies get dubbed into many languages -- most people prefer the easy thing: hearing a language they understand.
Quote:I think you've already mentioned that you wouldn't mind if all foreign movies were dubbed in English though, right? Unfortunately that seems to be what nearly everyone our uncultured society wants as well.
