That time a forum stranger made me rewatch a movie with subtitles on

I used to think subtitles were a crutch until some random user told me I was missing half of what makes foreign films great. They pointed out that I'd been watching dubbed versions of a French thriller and basically getting the cliff notes version. So I went back and watched it raw with subs, and the whole tone shifted, the pauses, the background chatter, everything mattered. Now I check the audio track before I even start anything from overseas. Anyone else had a viewing habit get flipped by a comment from a stranger?

Subtitles dont change the movie, you just finally paid attention to it.
