Lady Hawke

So I don’t think I have mentioned it before but in Brazil they have all the American movies and songs. Like I hear more English in clubs and on the radio than Portuguese. So I have been wondering if they have all American movies with Portuguese dub-overs. The answer to that question is YES! They have every movie. I was on the bus home and they played movies. The first was “Night of the Museum” I was like please just do subtitles in Portuguese, which they did so I was like yes! But then I realized they were speaking Spanish, so none of it was helpful. I also at the end of the movie saw where they say dub over actors and had a list of names. So they have like Dub actors who just read what the people are saying in a different language. Pretty hilarious. I decided I want that job. I have always wondered the process. Just like I wonder who does the subtitles on live tv, like news and stuff. I picture some poor guy frantically typing what they say at like 200 wpm. Anyway, back to my initial question. So the second movie they put in was titled “Lady Hawke”. Yes it was an American film, and the best part was Matthew Broderick and Michelle Pfeiffer were both in it! I know you would think a movie with good actors would have a much better name, and actually be heard of. I was laughing in my seat trying to watch this film dubbed over in Portuguese. Basically it is about Michelle Pfeiffer being a Hawk by day and well Michelle Pfeiffer at night. And then some guy who is a like awesome fighter dude by day and wolf by night, so they can never be together. And Broderick is some prison jail break kid that helps them. It was as awful as my description is, and I could hardly understand it (it being in Portuguese and all) but I watched the whole thing. That is when I knew the answer was yes, they have people that dub over every American movie. EVERY movie. Now my question is if in brazil there are like famous dubber(is that what we call them?) over actors that like people love their voices and they are celebrates bc of there voices. On movie covers it says “Julie Roberts voice being played as Beatriz Henrique” and everybody freaks out and buys it. I will let you know what I find out, until then, go rent Lady Hawk and watch it for me, and explain the whole priest character, he looked important, that is if you can find it…
