Yes, some translations are, shall we say, less than perfect – but they can be very funny.

Indeed, I am a little bit closer to the 2nd World War than you ;-)

I sometimes watch movies with subtitles in different languages and at least once I will snort and say “That is not what he/she said at all!”

Also, I think some of the history may be lost on the new generation. I’m in my early 30s and only vaguely aware of what the speech is about. But then my history was never great!

Oh that sounds lovely. And you got to spend some time together too :-)
I love the Hours and have watched it many times.
p.s. that’s what the forecast says – although it IS a forecast and so will (hopefully) change :-)

too bad today it’s f**** cold again.
We went for a long walk with Duick along the Ticino river. We really enjoyed it and big boy loved it.
The lives of others is my fav. movie too (I also LOVE The Hours).
ps. rain for next weekend? :(
