I can see that humour could be interpreted in that scene but it didn't really seem to have that tone when I watched it with an audience. I know what you're saying though... but things were just a little too intense there, for me, to appreciate any lightness.<br /><br />Thanks so much for reading and for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.NUTS4R2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08450069327397561514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260387431722105524.post-57382496079133180352012-06-05T01:28:28.846+01:002012-06-05T01:28:28.846+01:00Don't forget about the scene when Gofar offere...Don't forget about the scene when Gofar offered a bread/butter knife to Rama for doing field surgery to his friend Bowo. And then he offered spoon or chopstick when Bowo's angry. It's pretty funny for me.Threezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460490967470012566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260387431722105524.post-69433899730288142312012-05-24T03:22:53.484+01:002012-05-24T03:22:53.484+01:00Hi Zanirma,
Thank you so much for letting me know...Hi Zanirma,<br /><br />Thank you so much for letting me know that. I seem to remember someone telling me years ago that a lot of the humour in Bruce Lee's films got lost in translation for various reasons too on their UK and US releases. <br /><br />I would never have known about this element to the movie had you not left your comment and it's the first time I've felt compelled to actually edit my post based on a comment by a reader... see above in the main review and you'll see I've put a note in the review to come and read your comment after. <br /><br />This is so enlightening and I'm really grateful that you spent some time reading this and I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment here and educate both me and my readers in this matter.<br /><br />Well done and, again, my thanks to you.NUTS4R2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08450069327397561514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260387431722105524.post-34939777763418936932012-05-24T00:03:35.059+01:002012-05-24T00:03:35.059+01:00Actually there are moments of humour in The Raid, ...Actually there are moments of humour in The Raid, but it got lost in translation. The humour happens to be in the comical accent of some of the bad guys, so only Indonesians can understand it.The banter between Andi and Mad Dog really sounds funny in Jakartan slang. But the one that drew the biggest laughter in Indonesia is the dialect of the machete guy, his lines become popular quote in Indonesia.zanirmanoreply@blogger.com
