Some Netflix distractions

[intrepidity]

Just watched a couple things today that brought me back to the real world, oddly enough.

1) Swedish mini series "The Breakthrough"

2) Mexican film "Lucca's World"

Both are subtitled, but also reasonably dubbed, so fine for those who don't like reading.

Both are based on true stories and are very engaging and watchable.

1. I watched The Breakthrough

very good although I absolutely cannot listen to dubbed, it is too distracting and takes away from the acting - sometimes it can be distracting to read too but I have gotten better at it.....

2. I prefer subtitles and original language too

But sometimes I am multitasking or just need to close my eyes. Some dubbing I absolutely cannot tolerate, but this one was ok.

I want to get the book now for further insight into Per's method. I've long been interested in participating in that type of research, but the ethical issues--especially as the world takes a hard right turn--keeps me on the sidelines.

3. ooh I hear you on the far right stuff

gawd, what a world we live in now

4. I listened to it in Swedish and read the subtitiles as well

I thought is was very good.

My maternal grandfather spoke Swedish though he never used it after his mother died (Great-grandma understood English but was more comfortable with Swedish) and did not share much of it with Mom and her siblings. As I listened, I realized the only phrase I recognized was "tack så mycket". I felt a little bad about that.
