Today I saw the movie カラダ探し in the theater, so naturally there were no subtitles. The book is on my TBR list but besides a quick skim of the description, I was otherwise unaware of what happens in the story. I expected to understand somewhere around 60-80% (especially since I wouldn’t be able to rewind it at all) but I actually understood 90-95%! There were a few times where I understood about half but was able to fill in the gaps as the scene progressed and I got more context.
I’m feeling pretty accomplished because this is the first time I’ve understood so much of a movie that I had no background knowledge of from reading the source material or watching it with English subtitles first.
Do you remember the first movie or show that you watched and could understand?
