It was just the only one I could think of. And the 13th warrior handled it differently. Rather than just a magical switch over it was a gradual thing as the character listened to and learned the language.

You mentioned this movie and Battlefield Earth were the only movies with a language switch. I humbly present to you the 13th Warrior. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120657/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120657/</a> which boasts the best language switchover I've seen on film.

That was a jolly good review!!!! As always, you really do a great job of analysis and I may actually use your videos in a lesson sometime. Thanks for a great video!

The first film that comes to my mind that that did the zoom-in, switch over with the language thing is The 13th Warrior. It worked fairly well and wasn't annoying. It's also another possible Lost in Translation you could do. You liked Michael Crichton didn't you?

Great job! Also yes, movie makers should add in other navies, especially for anything East Coast. If it was West Coast...more likely they'd not even try it. For reasons, but the TL;DR is yes, more British Navy awesomeness.

Now I need to figure out a way to slip "Let's get down to the biscuits!" into a casual conversation. ;) This seems to be the rare case of the filmmakers not only telling the author's story but improving upon it--making it better while holding firmly to the spirit of the thing. Glad to know that that can be done! And as always, great episode!
