The Passion of The Christ subtitles

I've been searching the net with no luck,so maybe some one here can help me.Can anyone tell me if the region 1 dvd contains burnt in subtitles or player generated ones.The U.K. dvd relesed by MGM contains crappy player generated ones that overlap onto the black bar at the bottom of the screen,something i really hate!

They are player generated subs on the R1. You have the option to turn em on or off.

Without getting into my personal opinion of "The Passion of the Christ", I'll just say that this is a case where player-generated subtitles should be used because Mel Gibson didn't want the film to be subtitled at all. He felt that the performances transcended the aramaic language and that subtitles were unnecessary, but the distributor pressured him into adding the subs. I don't own the DVD, maybe the subs are forced, but if they can be removed altogether you'd be watching something closer to the director's original vision.

Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!

Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!

Not sure if this is on topic, but it's a pity that the subtitles were not in the style used for the theatrical prints.

Tell The Weinstein Company to release Richard Williams' animated masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler on DVD in Panavision widescreen and uncut! See and hear what you're missing from their Bitsy Award winner of Worst Standard Edition DVD of 2006 on YouTube!

Well coming from someone with limited eyesight, I'm glad the subtitles are as large as they are. I dreaded watching this for sometime because I was certain the subtitles would deter my enjoyment of the film. But, the subs were easy to read and I was able to enjoy the movie a great deal.

The R1 DVD comes in 2 flavors: U.S. and Canadian. The U.S. version has player-generated subtitles in the picture area (above black bar). The Canadian version has the subtitles appearing on the bottom black bar. Also, the U.S. subtitles are white and small whereas the Canadian ones are yellow and larger.

Hope this helps.
