dubbed films
Voice-replaced foreign movies
Dubbed films are movies where the original dialogue has been replaced with voices speaking a different language.
The new audio track is synchronized to match the actors' lip movements as closely as possible.
Dubbing allows audiences to watch foreign films without reading subtitles: I prefer dubbed films when I'm too tired to read.
The practice is standard in some countries and controversial in others, where subtitle purists consider it an inferior way to experience cinema.
