&quot;English movies consistently keep me getting subtitles because i can&#x27;t make out what&#x27;s being said even at normal volume.&quot;<p>For me, it&#x27;s the recent movies synchronized to German where I need the subtitles, and the old ones (like, 50 years old) being easy to understand. Often it&#x27;s that in the modern ones the music is playing over the voice, the female voice often attempts to sound &quot;cooler&quot; to the point of the actor doing the sync almost sounding like speaking with the closed mouth and therefore being hard to understand. At the same time, the male voices sound a little clearer to me but also significantly worse than in the old movies. In the old movies, the actors tended to be clear like in the theater.
