An odd thing happened when I started watching Red Cliff. It is a Chinese historical epic; I knew that. It is subtitled; I expected that. But in the first few minutes a big booming American voice tells you in English what is happening. Huh?
I thought there must be a mistake. Surely someone accidentally turned on Audio Description. No. Maybe it is just a one off. I carried on watching. But a minute or two later the American voice is back. Argh! No, no, no. What were you thinking John Woo?
Sometimes I am very tolerant of things like that; sometimes I am very intolerant. Last night was one of the latter occasions and I just switched the film off.
