I turn on the subtitles even when the movie is in English. Especially if its a British or Australian movie. Sometime I have a hard time making out what people on screen say.
I have been deaf in my left ear for as Long as I can remember, so many things on TV are hard for me to hear.
My problem is that I don’t know how to put the subtitles on!
Usually I watch Netflix on my iPad rather than the TV - which I could do - because that way it’s close to me!
A heart warming movie.
The movie title made me think that it's a horror movie and I steered away from it at first, but today I thought, why not and watched it. Didn't disappoint.
Karma is the name of one of the bhikkhunis.

Why does it matter how close it is? don't you use headphones?
I no longer have an iPad, but I'm pretty sure to turn on subtitles on an iPad, start the movie and then tap the bottom of the screen. a control panel opens up. find the icon that looks like a comic book's character speech balloon (
), tap on that, the controls for audio and subtitles are inside. On your tv, start the movie, use your remote's up arrow to go to the top of screen. select the middle icon, it contains the controls for audio and subtitles.
I have wanted to get headphones but they are in Stereo so I need A mono headphone ! Once we are out of lockdown I will start looking into it again. I know that I should look online but I just don’t Do online shopping!Why does it matter how close it is? don't you use headphones?

No special headphones necessary.
So on an iPad, (or a Mac) you do this:
- Go to Settings
> Accessibility > Audio & Visual.
- Select Mono Audio
Both Chanels are combined and come out of both sides.
Your iPhone and your iPad also something else you might like.
Go to Settings
Turn on Headphone Accomadations
Tap Custom Audio Setup, then follow the onscreen instructions. Or manually set any of the following:
- Tune Audio For: Choose Balanced Tone, Vocal Range, or Brightness.
- Level: Choose Slight, Moderate, or Strong amplification of soft sounds.
- Phone: Apply these audio settings to phone calls.
- Media: Apply these audio settings to media playback.
--
I âm a little hard of hearing and I find tuning it for Vocal Range really helps with phone calls.
I watched Clueless yesterday. I loved it. I hadn't seen it in years.
I started Arrival afterwards but I was too tired so I will watch it later.

I love her. My favorite is Still Alice, the movie about early onset Alzheimer’s.
I saw that film on the flight to LA. It's a very good film and highlights that AZ's isn't always a disease that only the elderly suffer with.

I haven't seen either of those movies. And I really like Julienne Moore.
but not watching Still Alice was a conscious decision. I read the book. and I made the unfortunate decision to finish it on a train. I think my sobbing alarmed my fellow passages.

watched Ladies in Black last night, new on Netflix, it was good, nothing too deep or too serious, set in the 50's in Australia, addresses some social issues

This was great. Inspired by a true story. Starring Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln. Samantha Bloom went on to win a kayaking championship. Of course, Penguin, the magpie, steals the show.

Time Traveller's Wife
I've seen this movie before - its on Netflix now so I decided to revisit it. Its based on one of my favorite books. a lot of times I'm disappointed with movie adaptions but this one is great. The movie feels hurried at times, but they have a lot of material to get thru. Even so they have to leave out a lot of stuff. But everything else is great.
I'll give it 5 stars. I'm not sure if people who haven't read the book will like is as much.
if you haven't read the book - you should.
although I may be in the minority there. From Wikipedia
7.1 on IMDB
