    Must spit out the dialogue. At the beginning, they were pretending to speak German and English in turn, and then it was all English, but the actors all wore headphones for simultaneous translation. German actors suddenly can speak English, and they barely understand it in court. Outside of court, German actors also speak English to each other, which is really too fake. It’s a normal movie, but this one involves the understanding of German culture and the Nazi Third Reich. The dialogue is all in English, especially Burt Lancaster’s lines. It seems like watching a Shakespeare play. The root cause of this matter is whether it is Hollywood English imperialism, or whether the North American audience is too illiterate, and the subtitles are too lazy to read or understand. It’s hard to say.
