For the first time, the folks in the Northeast will be able to happily enjoy a Hollywood movie in their own dialect.

Major Cineplex announced yesterday that it will release the Hollywood movie, “Now You See Me 2,” with Thai-Isaan dubbing in the Northeastern provinces — in addition to the usual subtitled version and Thai dubbing.

The trailer, which shows Hollywood stars such as Morgan Freeman, Daniel Radcliffe and Jesse Eisenberg dubbed with the Isaan dialect, received wide attention in social media last night, the video has already surpassed a million views on Facebook.

Although the wife may appreciate the Isaan dialect (many of those around), I would like to watch it in English.

Does anyone have a (virus-free) link?

Dubbing should be illegal. Not only is the sound out of sync and lacking original detail, it also prevents the watchers from learning other languages. Use subtitles.

Dubbing is the absolute dumbing down of society for commercial purposes. It is an atrocious trend. It is on par with the quality of Thai programming available here. Few are learning anything. Few are being well educated. Thailand is going backwards at an alarming pace. So much potential. So little being done to realize it.

Are you mad?

So everyone in the world should learn every language in the world?

Issan people should learn English so they can watch an occasional fictional American movie?

Are you Thai/Issan language skills that good you can keep up watching Thai movies?

How do you go watching the Thai nightly news on TV.

Perhaps these American actors should learn Issan if they want to sell their product here.

They just don't want to learn any languages.

Just like the French (who hate everyone else), German, and of course the Spanish.

You do know what subtitles are? Where I come from, nothing was dubbed but subtitled instead. No problem whatsoever.

So did you learn the langauges that were being used by reading the subtitles?

If you did, you are an amazing human being.

Which languages?

I have watched subtitled French, German Chinese, Korean, etc and I was unable to myself.

Why thank you. Among the languages were English, which I'm using right now. Very common in Finland for people to learn from the movies. Also some German and a smattering of Spanish. It's a pity so few Thai films get subtitled, would help in learning.

Ok then, well done. Your English is perfect.

I have been learning Thai for six years, can follow soapies pretty well, and conversational Thai, but have no hope keeping up with shows like the news and more serious programs.

My brain is just too slow I guess.
