Subtitles for pirated movies are almost always way more accurate anyways.

Back when District 9 came out, my husband and I downloaded and watched a bootleg copy of the film. We always watch movies with subtitles on and this was no different, yet when the Aliens -- and only the aliens -- spoke there were none. I assumed it was a creative decision and we were just supposed to infer what they were talking about based on what was happening in the scene.

Our friend later asked how we liked the movie and we told him it was good, but commented that it would've been better if we could understand some of the aliens were saying. He laughed and said it was supposed to show translation subtitles of everything they said 😂.

We still need to go back and give it a proper rewatch someday.
