One subtitle correction in "Transcendence"

Part of the reason I like detachment is that there are many golden sentences in the lines. There is a line that is quoted very frequently, but there are different opinions and there are many versions. The subtitles of everyone and station b are not quite right.

This sentence comes from a voiceover monologue about the child after Henry told Erica about his mother in the park.

The subtitle of the Renren version I watched is this: The child's intelligent heart can flatten the depth for many dark places. But I cannot find them, the delicate moment of its own detachment. The child's intelligent heart can heal many wounds in life, But I couldn't find a moment of detachment from myself. After listening to it repeatedly, I think the correct one should be this: A child's intelligent heart can fathom the depth of many dark places. But can it fathom the delicate moment of its own detachment? A child's intelligent heart can detect the depths of many dark abyss, but I wonder if this heart can detect the subtle moments of its own detachment?

Welcome to discuss and correct.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
