10 Movie Details Hidden In Subtitles
4. The Rock's Smolder Is Actually Captioned - Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
It's of course vitally important for subtitle captioning to be precise in order to give hard-of-hearing viewers an exact idea of what's going on, though the captioning for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle took this to hilariously over-committed ends.
When Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson) learns that he possesses the special ability to smolder, the movie stops temporarily while he smolders intensely, with the captions themselves even noting this fact.
Despite the smolder itself being a largely visual element accompanied by only a minor audio cue, it's as though even the subtitles themselves are in awe of The Rock's furrowed brow.
It's certainly nice that the captioning has all of the movie's bases covered, and isn't afraid to have a little fun with itself, too.
