Honestly, to an English speaking North American with typical deficient exposure to the complexities of a lot of other cultures and languages, a lot of the English-language translations for shows and movies from other parts of the world end up coming across that way. Mostly, I just assume it's something lost in translation and totally not a big deal, of course.

Don't fuck the fuck. If you fuck the fuck fuck fucks you. I'm not the fuck, I'm the shit!

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Fucking awesome!

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, this happens to everyone. Most people would quite literally translate how they would say something in their language to another. But in doing so, they still retain the grammar, character, syntax and words of their mother language to the foreign language they are trying to speak, which messes things up. I can kinda see it on people of foreign backgrounds when they speak English. It is amusing that I have an African colleague who says "I see you" to mean "hi". In English, saying "I see you" sounds like you are watching and suspicious of someone, but in some parts of Africa, it means you recognise the person as an individual.

This Indian song is a lyrical masterpiece.

He is after all, a very good bad boy.

There is one where a guy riding a horse slides under a truck as if it's a motorcycle.

It is hilarious! It doesn't even go feet first, which makes it funnier!

RRR is the greatest action movie of this generation

RRR was the first Indian movie I watched and I loved it. I watched other Indian movies after that, but they pale in comparison.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Monkey Man, directed by Dev Patel, was solid. More of a John Wick movie than RRR's Rambo: The Musical. But the acting, the cinematography, and the screenplay were all on par with a top tier American film.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

That’s because it is one though.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Dev Patel is British

3 Idiots (2009). It's not an action movie like RRR but I find it just as entertaining.

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

No kidding! That movie just delivers for 3 hours straight and has one of the best twists I didn’t see coming at all. One of my favorites parts of the massive crowd fight with the cop.

Oh simply the committee that nominates movies for Oscar is ass in India(as in corrupt) so you'll never even hear about good Indian movies through Oscars You should look at tumbbad, jigarthanda double x

[-] Mika@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

Or simply the Oscar is an advertisement company for their friends products, and not some competition.

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 16 points 1 week ago

In their defense, action movies are all pretty over the top.

Die Hard anyone?

[-] lime@feddit.nu 12 points 1 week ago
[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

There's 30 years between them. When Die Hard came out it had a building explode and a man used a hose like a bungee cord to escape. And he lived. Yeah, it was the same level of over the top - we just got used to it.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 9 points 1 week ago

idk man, look at some bollywood films from the 80s and 90s. they have an entirely different sense of physics.

[-] 123@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

Looks like your average game of thrones episode after season 4 👀

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

And they don't get many Oscars either.

From the Rules Section of the Academy Awards Wiki Page :

According to Rules 2 and 3 of the official Academy Awards Rules, a film must open in the previous calendar year, from midnight at the start of January 1 to midnight at the end of December 31, in Los Angeles County, California, and play for seven consecutive days, to qualify, except for the Best International Feature Film, Best Documentary Feature, and awards in short film categories. The film must be shown at least three times on each day of its qualifying run, with at least one of the daily showings starting between 6 pm and 10 pm local time.

later

The Best International Feature Film award does not require a U.S. release. It requires the film to be submitted as its country's official selection.

Actual rules are linked by the Wikipedia page a PDF.
