can anyone guess what movie this is from?? 🙂

ロサンゼルス
西暦2029年

３０億の人命が核戦争で失われた1997年８月２９日

正存者はこの日を”事を審判の日”と呼んだ

彼らの悪夢は　さらに続いた

機械との戦争である

敵の頭脳　コンピュータの”スカイネット”は

２体の殺人機（ターミネーター）を派遣

殺害の目標は”人類の抵抗軍リーダー”

私の息子　ジョンである

最初のターミネーたーはジョンが生まれる前ー
１９８４年に私の命を狙い失敗した

第２のターミネーたーの目標は少年に成長したジョン

抵抗軍はそれに対しー

またも１人の戦士を送り出した

こうしてジョンをめぐる死闘が始まった

I’m going to nitpick on an unrelated language…
The word “huevos” has a silent “h” in it.

I think that it might be necessary to post the translation for the entire movie. Is IS possibly the best movie ever after all. Too bad you’d probably get sued if you tried to sell it.

It’s also too bad Joaquin Phoenix is crazy and has decided to pursue a terrible hip hop career; he couldn’t have been a better (or worse, depending on perspective) Commodus.

It’s ALSO too bad that we’ve been beaten to death with the whole Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe combo (are they gay for each other?) that’s pretty much gone straight downhill since Gladiator. Apparently Russell Crowe actually thought the script for the movie was cheesy and lame, and tried to get them to change it. Why are good actors so crazy and/or stupid?

Not sure why I’m babbling about this. Maybe just a bit obsessed with the movie.

@Seth
The voice actor relationships one gets to develop are pretty interesting 😀
For the longest time, I could never quite get used to the fact that Neo (Matrix) and Jack Bauer (24) are voiced by the same guy.

@magamo
Dangit! Ironically, despite being the shortest one yet, this had the most mistakes. Cheers for picking that out 😀

I found other (Japanese) people online with the same error…I wonder if it’s one of those English “psychophonological” typos — sort of like typing “would of” instead of “would have”.

Anyway, thanks again!

I can’t help cracking up at this, because the voice actor doing Maximus also does, ‘the Dude’ from Big Lebowski, and Ron Burgundy from Anchorman…..!!

I think メレディアス should read メリディアス. It’s a bit difficult to tell if the second mora is れ or り from the mp3 clip, but I listened to the line several times and am fairly sure it’s り. Then again, I also though it was れ when I heard it first time. My laptop doesn’t have the best speakers to transcribe a movie either.

Ach! You caught me before I caught me…!
Cheers, nacest. I will have my reviews, in this life or the next.

I think he might want 復讐 instead of 復習, unless he’s talking about SRS reps or something 😛
