Haha.

I'm used to subs since I was a kid, but felt this when I went to watch Dune with my brother in a Finnish theatre.

A large portion of the movie already has English subs for the Fremen language. In addition to those, there was also Finnish and Swedish subtitles.

And while my Swedish is the poorest, I kept reading them occasionally as well, as my natural tendency for learning just couldn't help it.

So hearing Fremen, reading English, Finnish and Swedish. Eyes were kinda like that, trying to follow the actors as well.

In addition to those, there was also Finnish and Swedish subtitles.

Hold up - they run two simultaneous subtitle tracks at a single screening of a movie?

That's wild.

This happens in the US occasionally as well, if watching foreign films in theaters. I recently watched YOLO, a Chinese movie, and it had both the Chinese and English subtitles
