Firstly, the book and the movie are both fantastic.
Secondly, to all the people walking out of the screenings because the film is subtitled - I am sorry if you are dyslexic. I understand subtitles affect your viewing pleasure. If you dislike subtitles but don't walk out of films purely because of them, I am not aiming what follows at you either.
If, however, you are neither of the above, yet reading occasional dialogue still ruins your viewing experience, kindly recognise that everyone else in the audience watching and hearing you march out in spluttering disgust understands you to be contemptible idiots. If reading is too much of a strain, and you think swearing loudly about being expected to read a few lines a minute is the normal thing to do in front of people who can cope with such immense pressure and are enjoying the film - kindly avoid all public areas in future to make things easier for yourselves and everyone else. I, and many others, are happier not seeing and listening to people like you. It's not just snobbery, it's that your faces hurt us.
A quarter of a Reading audience cannot cope with reading.
(Note - the same goes for people who cannot bring themselves to watch black and white films. Since the footage is usually not "something real-life" anyway, you can stop throwing hissing fits at how fictional people look in black and white, rather than when sharing your shade of fake tan orange. Thank you)
