Negative Positive
Title: blu-ray has no subtitles or closed captions!
Review: (7/23/12, 1 star for this Blu-ray release, 5 stars for the movie) Olive Films recently released a Blu-ray version of The Mountain without subtitles or closed captions and now they've done it to one of the greatest classics of American cinema. This manifest contempt by the studio for a large segment of the home video market is especially amazing considering that my DVD version of High Noon has closed captions. Has thumbing their noses at millions of cinephiles who want the option, for varied reasons, of turning on English subtitles or closed captions now become standard operating procedure at Olive Films? My hearing is still fine, but my wife is a non-native English speaker who needs English subtitles to catch all the dialog. Besides, my hearing won't always be perfect, and I can strongly empathize with the plight of those with impaired hearing. So I intend to wail until a decent studio offers a decent Blu-ray version of this magnificent western.
Is the review positive or negative?
