Guess this film (super double bonus round): |
|
Last time was a bit too easy. Let's see who can guess this film based entirely on it's description on the back of my Chinese DVD:
"This loves the mission that direct that the first film, director originally take the art slice for arousing of high for historical data for foundation for, but he at manuscript ascending the exstrike of revolution of extensive collections October, interview strike with way with the montage* taking outing aly outstandingly of an education slices. This is a Su on the Parisian art exposition of the 1925 the movie won the earliest and international prize. The film's alignment of big details go on strikes the exworker the life. the strike's ferment with launch, go on strike to cruelly crack down on. The director practice the experience some dramas of his earlier periods to make use of the movie inside. if make a point of the crowds condition with cartoon type skill. For giving the audience with the feeling, love that mightiness at this inside transferred the movie's the whole to play a tricked", such as the ? the flick the nine last homes hire a exhibition the wait on the with the stand to rely on the to dye the Film knot the tail will kill the worker's head to slaughter the cow's head the contact with slaughter house together, two heads hand over to substitute the emergence ? barium ove at this inside display to announce to public the affairs innate character with handle the crowd's condition uncommon talent."
It's like watching a computer dictionary have a psychotic nervous breakdown.

3. I'm going to guess it's Sergei Eisenstein. |
|
Can't think of many other directors who'd be winning a prize in Paris in 1925. And since it can't be "The Battleship Potemkin", from the description, it must be "Strike".

5. It was easy once I identified the key information... |
|
"first film", "1925 Paris prize" and something about slaughtering cows...and "October" was the clincher, since that can only refer to the October Revolution...

7. I love that it's the "revolution of extensive collections October". |
|
That should be the real name.
I thought about deleting the "Paris Exhibition" 1925 line but I figured it wouldn't be sporting.

8. I'll have to dig up some of my Japanese English stuff for you guys |
|
My sister and I call it "interesting English."
I used to wish that they would consult native speakers of English before they used English. Then a friend who does work in the Japanese TV industry sent my sister and I a conversation in English to edit. (For anime fans, it is the scene near the beginning of Martian Successor Nadesico in which the captain of the Nadesico is speaking to an Earth official.) Keep in mind that at the time, I was a professional proofreader.
The worst of the errors got reinstated. The Japanese are convinced that "overlook" is a synonym for "look over," and no statements by native speakers who make their living correcting the English of other native speakers is going to convince them otherwise! Not even the lyrics to "I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover" convinced them.
At that point, I knew it was hopeless.
