I haven't understood a bloody word actors have spoken for years, and when you add the 'Mood Music,' the whole thing is impossible.
Don't even get me going on the pop corn munchers, gallon bucket Coke slurpers, or hot dog chompers, most of whom think they will die unless they intake at least 2000 calories an hour.
I just don't bother going any more!

A lot of the dialog is now muddled in the mix of music and sound effects. Years ago, the focus was on the spoken word, which allowed you to understand what was being said. It is usually much easier to hear what is going on in older movies. And, as we get older, we have less hearing ability to pick the dialog out of the background noise. Closed captioning is a nice thing to have on our TV sets!
