Hi Everyone,
I own the Canadian (Alliance) version of Amelie. I was watching the commentary track tonight, and I noticed two major subtitle errors:
1:10:04
The woman at the ghost train says
"He doesn't get in till 7:00", but it should say
"He doesn't get off till 7:00"
Since Nino is already there! I saw this five times in the theatre, and I know it's been changed.
The second error is even more unforgivable:
1:16:34
Amelie says to Nino on the phone
"Page St", when she really means
"Page 51" because her picture is on page 51! This is an absolutely unforgiveable error.
Are these errors in the US DVD? There are some other changes near the start, such as the "Bluebottle fly" being called the "Blue fly" on the DVD, but I was listening to the commentary so I wasn't paying full attention. I'll try to compile a full list when I get the chance.
Does anyone know who I can contact at Alliance to complain? If the U.S. disc has been done properly, I want to exchange it. If not, then there should be a recall / repressing.
Alliance is good for nothing. These errors are in addition to the inferior cover and disc art, along with subtitles that can't be turned off!
