Mekkin B. (122 KP) is asking for a recommendation

I got to see the original Rosetta stone the other day. It's truly an amazing artifact that unlocked so much knowledge that might otherwise have been lost.

In that spirit, I'd love to hear from you: What is your favorite book/movie/TV show that has been translated from another language? (Dubbing and subtitles are both acceptable).

Mine are currently One Hundred Years of Solitude and Njáls saga.

Books are altogether another behemoth as most have been translated into other languages. Authors such as Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Jean Paul Sartre, Dostoevsky, Gunther Grass, Han Kang, Rousseau, Christine de Pizan...it's endless ?

Goddess in the Stacks (553 KP) Sep 14, 2017 (Updated Sep 14, 2017)

The Hangman's Daughter series, by Oliver Pötzsch, is one of my favorite translations. Originally published in German, I believe. I read them a few years ago - the first one here: https://goddessinthestacks.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/the-hangmans-daughter-by-oliver-potzsch/
and the next three several months later: https://goddessinthestacks.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/book-review-the-dark-monk-the-beggar-king-and-the-poisoned-pilgrim/

Scenes pick up where they left off in the previous episode, and respect the audience’s ability to sustain interest. Given the intrigue, great characters and Spacey’s sublime performance, viewers won’t need gimmicks to keep them coming back for more.

I do think others will enjoy it if they are okay with not getting closure at the end. It’s one of those I classify under read it for the journey, not the destination, although I am sure even the ending will please folks who love lyrical writing.

Not that scary (0 more)
Pretty good
Maybe I didn't find it scary because I already knew what was going to happen. This new Pennywise just wasn't as scary as the original. Tim Curry doesn't need CGI teeth to be terrifying. That being said, the overall quality of the movie is better than the mini series, but that's because they had more money to throw around.

An action packed Sci-Fi blockbuster
Another SFX master piece from James Cameron who also did @Avatar (2009) Thankfully the film isn't entirely about the amazing visuals. The story is good and the action scenes are very good. Maybe not the most original plot but the fun and excitement it brings more than makes up for it. Definitely one to catch on the big screen.

Isn't It Romantic (2019)? Yep, it's also pretty funny!
There’s a gently subversive streak to Netflix’s latest ‘original’ offering “Isn’t It Romantic” as it sets out to undermine the worn-out romcom tropes while simultaneously adhering to the framework of the genre in this bright and breezy comedy that reunites Rebel Wilson and Adam Devine after “Pitch Perfect 3” cruelly tore them apart....

First draft ending (0 more)
This first draft of a beloved tale shows how things change. Peter S. Beagle is a great writer there will be a lot of similar things to the finished version, however, it takes a left turn quite early in the original draft. I recommend you read the instruction and preface and not just dive to the story.

Princess Jasmine was amazing, a true Disney Princess with an incredible voice. Will Smith as the genie wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. As for Jafar, well he was completely awful, like some kind of pantomime villain. Overall though, I actually quite enjoyed this latest, almost carbon copy of the animated original, live action Disney remake. Not bad at all, for a Guy Ritchie movie.

A Star Wars movie made be the numbers
If you use solo as a drinking game, you would be unconscious or even dead before the end of the movie.

Hal Solo gets.....
His Jacket takes a drink.
The Millennium Falcon take a drink.
And so on

So basically it's full of plot points we already know for the original trilogy and making feel like movie just made by the number.
