In the Qingyuan clan, Chu Hun (played by Peter Ho) known as a "deserter" among the villagers, and Dong Yilong (played by Henry Lau), a young orphaned thief, and a third warrior are selected. While traveling, the three are attacked by giant scorpions- Yilong and Hun surviving but the third warrior being killed. Hun explains to Yilong that he and his brother fought in a previous war against Northern Yan- Hun's entire fighting force having been killed by Northern forces after Grand Tutor Guan refused to send reinforcements, and afterwards being labelled as a deserter for being the only survivor. Grand Tutor Guan secretly meets with Wu Yang, a representative from Northern Yan revealing that he had actually been a double agent for Northern Yan, scheming to take down the other kingdom from the inside.
My subtitles stopped showing up and I am not sure why. I have subtitles enabled in the options. I have also tried verifying the integrity of the files on Steam and reinstalling it with no luck. I have VAICOM Pro, SRS, and Tacview installed. I recently installed sratchpad for dcs but I removed it. I could use some help troubleshooting this.
According to some polls, average American film-goers shy away from movies with subtitles. But we know that Skokie Public Library patrons are above-average! So here are 10 accessible (and wonderfully entertaining!) foreign films for those ready to adventure forth into the bounty of goodness that is World Cinema.
US film-goers flocked to this ethereal, wildly entertaining martial arts film. Its $128 million in US ticket sales is more than double its closest foreign language competitor (Life is Beautiful), though what makes this film literally soar are the gravity defying martial arts choreography of master, Yuen Wo-Ping.

Toward Nowa Huta
preceded by Workers Leaving the Factory (Again)
Saturday, January 12, 4:00 p.m.
Though he fled his hometown of Nowa Huta, filmmaker Dariusz Kowalski returned last year to this formerly thriving industrial area near Krakow, Poland, to capture its present-day life. Toward Nowa Huta refrains from judgments about the outwardly dreary state of things, the loss of jobs, or the bitter clashes of 1989, and instead records fresh reflections on the social fabric of this city that carries on in spite of crushing obstacles, and only occasionally looks back. (Dariusz Kowalski, 2012, HDCam, Polish and German with subtitles, 78 minutes)
Low Definition Control (Malfunctions #0)
preceded by A to A
Sunday, January 13, 4:30 p.m.
A thoughtful discourse on public surveillance in contemporary society provides voiceover counterpoint to a sequence of startling images filmed without their subjects ' knowledge. Called "science fiction in a literal sense" by the filmmaker, Low Definition Control (Malfunctions #0) builds a compelling and chilling commentary on the deceptions and excesses inherent in observational photography and the many forms of social control in modern life. (Michael Palm, 2011, 35 mm, German with subtitles, 95 minutes)
Remorques
Saturday, January 26, 4:00 p.m.
The primal power of l 'amour fou is measured against that other out-of-control force of nature, the waters of the sea. Off the Brittany coast, Jean Gabin, captain of a salvage tugboat, meets Michele Morgan, whom he rescues one ill-omened stormy night. They become lovers, trapped in a painful triangle with Gabin's delicate and devoted wife (Madeleine Renaud). Grémillon, who uses the sea metaphor to full effect, also exploits the potential of music and sound, dramatically adding to the edgy mise-en-scene, especially in the final sequence. (1941, 35 mm, French with subtitles, 81 minutes)
Garbo the Spy
Sunday, February 3, 4:30 p.m.
Juan Pujol García (code name Garbo, after the actress) was a famous double agent whose well-timed trickery made possible the success of the Normandy invasions. As a star player for both Britain and Nazi Germany during the war, he was the only spy to receive both the Order of the British Empire and the Iron Cross II. Isaki was a co-writer on this compelling and polished documentary that features historians Nigel West and Mark Seaman, and a host of informants including Garbo himself. (Edmon Roch, 2008, 35 mm, English, German, Spanish, and Catalan with subtitles, 88 minutes)
La Leyenda del tiempo (The Legend of Time)
Saturday, February 23, 4:00 p.m.
At the heart of La Leyenda del tiempo is the figure of Camarón de la Isla, a celebrated gypsy flamenco singer and hero-celebrity who continues to inspire even after his untimely death at age 42. The narrative unfolds in thematic segments, centering on the lives of two characters deeply affected by Camarón's voice: Isra, a gypsy boy unable to sing, and Makiko, a young Japanese woman captivated by the famous cantaor, who makes a pilgrimage to Spain to learn more. A third character, a Japanese tuna fisherman (inspired by Rossellini's Stromboli), links the separate stories. (2006, 35 mm, Spanish with subtitles, 109 minutes) Special thanks to ICAA.
The Son
Saturday, March 2, 4:30 p.m.
The Son (Le Fils) weaves together the tale of Olivier, a middle-aged carpenter at a rehabilitation center for boys, and Francis, a new trainee. Although Olivier is divorced and living a quietly routine existence, he refuses to take on Francis as his apprentice until, curiously, he changes his mind. The reason for this shift of character, and the seeming oddness of their relationship, become the focal point of the film. (2002, 35 mm, French with subtitles, 103 minutes)

By minimally realigning his body and slightly adjusting his costume, the actor displays a fascinating gender slippage. At one moment he suggests a jealous wife and, in the next moment, a husband who has an answer for everything. Parvati has spied her rival, Ganga, in Siva's hair. Pouting, Parvati tells him, through hand gestures, that she sees a face in his hair. Siva is momentarily flustered, and then replies, through hand gestures, that it is not a face, but a lotus. Two sets of subtitles assist the viewer of this VCD. One is an English sentence in parenthesis. As the repartee continues, Parvati, annoyed by Siva's response, retorts: "It is not a lotus. Are there curly locks in a lotus?" This sentence remains on the screen. Above it a second set of subtitles "reads" the hand gestures one by one: "it is/lotus not/here/curly locks/lotus/curly locks/are there."
This is one of the most famous sequences in kutiyattam not only because of the clever dialogue (which the dual subtitles allow you to follow "word for word"), but also because the actor's face must reflect the emotions and thoughts of both characters. [End Page 222]
Sivan Namboodiri is in his fifties. He is wearing the makeup for Ravana, a green base with red designs painted on it. Knobs are attached to his forehead and nose. A white paper collar is glued to his jawbone.Yet he wonderfully conveys the injured Parvati, finally so fed up with her husband's double-talk that she gets up to leave for her father's home. Just then her world begins to shake (Ravana raising Kailasa) and she rushes fearfully into her husband's arms. (For a discussion of identity change in kutiyattam see "Skirting the Issue: Gender and Identity in Kutiyattam Sanskrit Drama," by Bruce M. Sullivan, in Notes from a Mandala: Essays in Honor of Wendy Doniger [New York: Seven Bridges, 2001].)
