The Thing 1982 - What does the Norwegian say? (English subs)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- A rough translation (the actor was NOT Norwegian i.e. Producer Larry Franco, and mispronounces words). If only someone there had spoken his language! Hell, they would have shot him anyway!😂
All things considered, he had the easiest/nicest death in the film.
Quickest, yeah. But he had to go trough the deaths of his entire group and met his end in deep desperation too.
Yeah, he got off easy.
He and his friend literally had to go through their own Thing prequel
@@cugu0075 Oof, true. I guess he had it about as good as Clark in that context.
all "THINGS" considered....
Poor dude just wanted to help them and everyone else. He was just unlucky that he didn't speak english. RIP Lars
Learn english folks
To be fair working in an Artantica Outpost, btw even with American collaborators, and not knowing english is stupid af.
@@greenglassman yeah it's linguistic imperialism, cool that we almost demand everyone else speak it too.
@@greenglassman Lars was working at the Norwegian outpost, not the American outpost. Lars understands English but doesn’t speak it. There are many people who understand a language but do not speak it.
@@AnekoFoxx that was me with english when I started to learn it, I couldn't understand perfectly but I was always 90% sure of what was being meant
i really like the sound of desperation and anguish in his voice.
Well what he went through in the prequel he was(understandably) traumatized so I can't fault him for messing up his speech. Had he lived he would've needed therapy and even then he'd likely never be normal again.
Same! I imagine he felt the same as McCready at the end.
I always thought he said ' Kill dat facking muter!'
That’s just normal sounding Norwegian. They all talk like that.
😂He looks like Cyclops
I wonder how many Norwegian movie goers first seeing this in the big screen got spoiled?
Good question lol.
the dialogue is ambiguous enough that it doesn't spoil but rather foreshadow
Oh come on, we know that dog is shite.
@@titnesovic4522 The movie is called The Thing, and everyone saw the trailers. Hell it was even based on an older movie and book - what are people who don't speak Norwegian going to think, that the helicopter people are actually crazy and trying to throw hand grenades at a dog from a helicopter? Come on, this isn't Alaska and they ain't Sarah Palin.
I was when i first saw it
He’s so focused on killing it he doesn’t even care his buddy got explodered
The importance of killing it outweighs just everything else, cus if you fail, there will be no anything else. Both the Norwegian and the Blair were aware of the absolute horror that thing would bring, ....
I would be the same way.
Do I fret over the one life, let the thing get away, and let the world succumb to its abominations? Or do I stay focused and keep on it so it dies?
@@BadassName17Very true, one can grieve after the job is done.
@@BadassName17 based 🗿
He should have yelled Infection or "Infeksjon" over and over. I bet they would have got the picture.
That probably would have worked, until the thing started transforming and assimilating everyone there anyway. In any case Lars was probably traumatized and panicking, absolutely nowhere near clear headed enough to think of something like having the HELICOPTER PILOT FUCKING BROADCAST ON THE RADIO IN ENGLISH THAT THE DOG WAS A BIOHAZARD
he would've if he knew English and that these people spoke it, dummy
Unfortunately if you don't speak english and you don't watch english speeking movies you don't know wich words in your language are similar to english.
Well today I learned "Infeksjon" is Norwegian for infection.
He’s prob too desperate to even think like that!! He also may not be familiar that infection sounds similar in both languages, but if he were educated it would be a good fix
I am Danish and I get: "Get that dog away. It imitates a dog. It is a type of thing". -More or less in that sequence.
Is Danish relatively close to Norwegian? Can the speakers of one language understand the other in general?
@@jetuber Quite closely related. Text is very easy to understand. Slow, clear speech is also very easy to understand, but in fast conversational speech a lot is lost.
@@jetuber Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are mutually intelligible, but Danish is really hard to understand spoken for Swedes and Norwegians.
@@SebastianLundh1988 Remarkable that they are so close. People say that Dutch and German are not far apart, with both being Germanic languages, but with my reasonably good German I find that I cannot understand Dutch.
Beautiful lmao. "Its a type of thing" especially
Even if they also spoke Norwegian, they would have thought he was a madman and shot him in self-defence anyway.
Dog culture
But it could have tipped them off at the possibility of *something*. Also if one spoke norwegian they could have asked “What do you mean?” and gotten him to clarify before he felt like it was pointless to talk and started shooting
Like seriously if i see that reaction out of someone, it's either i Will assume the man is crazy or that dog has something dangerous in it like virus or something, rabies is a thing it doesn't always alien or stuffs, so i don't want to just Immediately hug the dog like these people.
He shouldve put his hands up instead of shooting a dog that was near other men
@@daintydalmatianthe dog was not a dog, it was a literal monster.
"And that is how Duolingo could have saved all of their lives."
The Helicopter Pilot, assuming he was actually the trained and certified pilot and not just a random person from the other research station, most likely would have been required to have some English fluency because it is internationally required for Air Traffic Control.
@@orion3253 Well, NOW it is :D
@@WardahTheBlaqQ Ah, so that's why they changed that rule.
@@orion3253 Yes, I've decided :D
You will never learn a language from Duolingo. It's far too slow and stultifying.
You're better off even just listening to podcasts and audiobooks in a language than using Duolingo.
I know it's probably just the dog actor but I like how the dog-Thing tried licking one of the guys to try to spread the infection, as a preventative measure in case he got shot
More like he was playing cute in order to gain their trust
@@HarleyLuna31I think it was trying to spread the infection through it's saliva.
Both
That’s now how the “infection” spreads. And it’s not an infection, it consumes you and become one with the “Thing”.
it was never shown to infect like that. You folks believe youtube nonsense way too much. On screen infections were always super violent hence why clothing was always destroyed. If it was subtle, they wouldnt of highlighted the destroyed clothing but you're not the target audience ie you're slow if you cant do 1+1 when the movie fucking explains it@@thesuperintendent4290
Finally. Someone who actually translate unlike those clickbait who don't show subs
At 0:14 he said Kom deg fu, meaning "get out of here"
@@adventure_lewis3354 ohhhhhh
@@adventure_lewis3354 nice to meet you btw
He say "kom dere væk idioter"? Whem does he say "fu"?
poor Lars.
the true hero.
I loved Lars!
Lars deserves his own prequel spin-off show
Beter Call Lars
@@IsntTheInternetGreator “Everybody Loves Lars”
He might have mispronounced a few words here and there but he was perfectly intelligible.
If I experienced what he experienced, I would say something to the effect "FFFFFFFFFFFFF - GETOUTTAMYWAY!!!!!"
Dude, I grew up speaking English, but on a cold ass day, I still slur my words like a drunk
@@kurtsimmons9735 and let’s not forget he is chasing an alien
He definitely mispronounced words I've been studying the translation and some things are definitely muddled.
@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN Norwegian is a language rich in dialects, so what they teach you in Oslomabad isn't necessarily how someone in Bergen or Kirkenes would speak.
Ironically, if anybody could have actually understood him they would have avoided so much bloodshed
How would they of killed it?
@@timothyodeyale6565 with fire
Actually I think they would have thought he was a madman and shot him in self-defense anyway
Eh probably not. They probably would still think he was a madman once he started shooting like that.
Why would they believe him lol? Yeah there's this shapeshifting being that looks and acts just like a dog. None of them had seen anything like it yet.
As someone learning Norwegian, and a lover of films and filmmaking... this hits different when you've seen the movie several times. He was trying to warn them this whole time.This is an excellent form of foreshadowing in a movie.
And I also love how perfectly the prequel 2011 movie merges into this one. Bud was scared, traumatized and tried warning them, but ended dead, like everyone else in the outpost 31.
Amazing. And that sentence is where we get the movie title. When he say's "It's a Thing"
I mean he says "a thing" not "the thing" which MacReady does during the whole blood tests
He actually says "it's some sort of thing". Not as catchy as a title - Some Sort of Thing.
Credits roll
"What is this, some kind of Thing?"
Get way from there! It's a The Thing (1982)! It's not real!
I always wanted his goggles with the slits, looked so cool.
Quite important in Arctic regions if you're in a survival situation to craft yourself something similar... it will prevent snow blindness or basically getting a sunburn on your eyes, which is not only an issue because you can't see, but EXTREMELY painful.
RIP Lars... you were a badass in the prequel.
There was no prequel. You imagining things.
@@Zodroo_Tintthe thing 2011 is the prequel my guy
@@Zodroo_Tint There is a Prequel silly
The 2011 prequel was a wasted potential film
@@luisvelez1952
The movie was supposed to be good
Studio runied it
This whole mess could have been avoided if that Norwegian exchange student hadn't gone home for Christmas break.
If he took off those goggles for a minute he could've had a better shot
He probably would have been snowblind if he hadn't been wearing them during the flight, and he clearly wasn't in a good state of mind to begin with.
I tell you what Lars lost a load of weight during the trip between stations 🤣
What stress does to a man 😢😂
I saw this for the first time not even knowing Norwegians were in the movie! My Mom is Norwegian. There are 2 forms of Norwegian . Nynorsk and Bokmål . He was speaking Bokmål. I was also annoyed when Kurt Russel kept calling them Swedes and was happy every time he was corrected .
For me it enhanced the experience . Imagine knowing crucial information but not being able to convey it because you didn’t speak the language just to get shot by some idiot who you weren’t even going after . That is truly tragic and terrifying .
They didn’t use the classic Hund for the word dog though.
“Bikkje “is Derogatory said about a person you would be calling them a Bitch
I think they chose this because it would be harder to understand and because the man is frustrated and swearing .
A lot of what he’s saying is actually close to English Words .
Ting is Thing
Imiterer is imitation
Ikke virkileg means it’s not real.
If any of them had a cursory understanding of Norwegian they could have figured out what he was saying.
And to me that makes it even more tragic
A couple of corrections:
There are two forms of *written* Norwegian. No one speaks Bokmål and Nynorsk, because Bokmål and Nynorsk refers to the two official writing standards in Norway, not spoken language. Saying someone "speaks" Bokmål is like saying someone "sings" written musical notation. It's a technicality, I know :P
Also, I wouldn't go as far as saying the word "bikkje" is derogatory. Bikkje and Bitch might be etymologically related, but it's not used the same way in Norwegian. It's more slang - an informal way of saying "hund", but even this can vary from dialect to dialect. For example, in my native dialect, the word "hund" has almost disappeared completely in favor of "bikkje", even in rather formal settings.
Calling a person "bikkje" as derogatory is not common usage of the word. If someone called someone else "bikkje" with no other context added, I would think the person in question was literally looking like, or acting like a dog :P
Man kan ikke snakke bokmål, haha
As a Norwegian its not a had translation, he goes at the beginning, get away! Not get the hell away
"se til helvete og kom dere vekk" im pretty sure that means "get the hell away. Im norweigan too :)
@@snorreproductions Jeg studerer norsk. Det er veldig vanskelig for meg å forstå hva han sa. 😑
Hva er dialekten hans? Jeg hørte ikke ordet "hund". Det er så vanskelig å forstå en nordmann når de snakker.
@@brandonduet7771 The word "bikkje" also means dog or hund in norwegian. Den imiterer en bikkje | its pretendig to be a dog. The dialect is semi understandable American Norwegian lol.
Kom deg unna, det er ikke en hund, det er en slags "ting" som utgir seg for å være en hund, det er ikke ekte. Kom deg vekk fra det dere idioter!
Really he was kind of screwed either way because let's assume that they could understand him or that he could speak English would you really believe him trying to tell you that the dog is some kind of monster?
I guess he really should’ve told them that the dog was infected with something contagious and deadly since that would’ve been believable and technically in line with how the creature operates.
Norwegian guy was the hero they never knew they had smh
I feel bad for him. No matter how much he screams and shouts how it’s the thing they don’t listen due to the language barrier.
I've noticed that everyone seems to think Lars was the guy who was shot in the eye. NO. It was the pilot. Lars was killed in the explosion. Watch the scene closely and you'll see.
No, it was Lars who was shot. Matias had a different coat and goggles. You might’ve found a continuity error, like Blair putting the pencil to his mouth.
No, you have them switched
No, the pilot gets out of the Helicopter just as Lars runs off, besides, if they did switch, how would Matias know about the Thing since Lars didn't have time to explain?
Edit: Okay, I looked closer and you were right, but it still doesn't add up, because Matias doesn't have a RUFF beard, here, there's a continuity error, both Lars and Matias have ruff beards, however in the 2011 movie, Matias doesn't have a ruff beard, only Lars, but then again, it's a movie and it's just an error.
I know they're named Lars and Matias, but I'll refer to them by the last name of the actors, Norbert Weisser played the pilot since he could speak Norwegian, and Larry Franco played the gunman hanging out the side of the chopper. Franco's jacket is torn, while Weisser's jacket (which matches Lars' jacket in the prequel) doesn't have a scratch. While hopping out of the chopper, Weisser grabs the rifle while Franco attempts to throw the thermite grenade and blows up, and Weisser is shot by Garry.
I am Norwegian. Here is my translation, which is pretty similar to the one in the movie clip. It is a bit hard to make out everything, but it is something like this:
1. Line: Se til helvete og kom deg vekk! - Get the hell away! (that is perhaps the closest thing it can be translated to. Or maybe: Will you get the hell away!)
2. Line: Det er ikke en bikkje. Det er en slags ting. Det imiterer en bikkje. Det er ikke virkelig. Kom dere vekk, idioter! - It is not a dog. It imitates a dog. It isn't real. Get away, idiots!
The actor has learned to say the words, but it seems like he is parroting and does not really understand what he is saying. But I have heard much worse.
Nice. Takk for forklaringen :D Ive been learning Norwegian and could only make out bits and pieces on my own. The first line in particular is weird. Shouldnt it be "Kom helvete deg vekk" if it were to be said correctly? Otherwise its...Look to Hell and get away?
Yeah he is German that lived in the US most of his life
@@SvendleBerries You could say: "Kom deg til helvete vekk". You are right that "look to Hell and get away..." would be a very literal translation of "se til helvete og kom deg vekk". But "se til helvete" is not such an uncommon way of expression oneself in a heated exchange. It can be used in certain contexts to amplify the meaning of the message. In this case that the American crew at the base should get out of the way/get away from the dog.
@@Corpseifier
Awesome :D Tusen takk.
On an unrelated note, respekt to Norway for attempting to ban forced male circumcision.🍺
Thanks for the subs, and running the scene in full. No bs, how it should be done.
What if they knew what he was saying and they believe him?
@_ pobert-eii _ They Dug it out and brought it back with them at the Norwegian camp and they burned it.
There would be no movie
If they indeed believed Lars, The Thing would’ve spazzed out seeing its cover is now blown 😂
@@daboss258 and they wouldn't have had their flamethrowers on hand either
The line "It's not real" works so perfectly. Great juxtaposition in the moment and sets the vibe for an insane sequence of events.
Idk why people are saying if they understood Norwegian the movie would be over. They would have assumed he was crazy just like in the film and shot him dead. They Might at first attempt to talk him down but he wouldn't waste time trying to convince them while the thing is licking em.
Yup he still would have gotten shot!! There is no way they would think "OMG the dog is an alien creature lets help kill it" based on a dude yelling get away from the dog while shooting a rifle at it. They would simply dismiss him as having cabin fever or whatever else that drives people crazy in Antartica being isolated.
@@jcaashby3 True. After all, everyone in the world can understand the local demented folks on the subway\bus ranting about some crazy ideas and they still think those people to be mad.
They probably wouldn't have believed him but they wouldn't necessarily shoot him once they realized he wasn't attacking them.
Poor Lars and Matias...
However, I must admit that their recklessness caused their deaths.
What does he say before and after this part?
1. He fumbles the grenade backward and says something that I assume is either "run!" or some kind of curse word. (which isn't shown in this video).
2. After the "get away you idiots" line he shoots someone in the leg and says the same phrase twice, before he is shot (like right in the eyeballs, if you watch his mask).
I don’t know about the second one, but what he says right before the grenade explodes is “Ut! Nu!” which means “Out! Now!” Presumably telling his buddy to get out of the helicopter before it exploded.
@@enesaue2192 I believe he’s saying “get away” I can hear it sounding similar to “get away idiots”
@@sweetchilledgames7887 No, that's before he shoots
Not Donald Moffat breaking the window like he's in an old west salon rather than the unforgiving cold of the Arctic.
That twitch after he hits the ground always gets me. Really good touch.
Best Opening Sequence EVER. (Beste åpningssekvens noensinne).
If he had just known English for "Watch out, rabies!!!" The movie might have ended right there.
Dude breaks a glass window in Antarctica 🤦♂️
I speak norwegian and I watched this movie with my dad as a kid and got spoiled lol, we were just happy to see Norwegians in a big movie even if they’re dead
He gives as clear a warning as he could.
To avoid spoilers in the Norwegian dub of this film the US camp speaks "English" (which sounds exactly like Norwegian) and the two Norwegians speak "Norwegian" (which sounds like unintelligible gibberish).
The only way this is spoiled is if you are a Norwegian speaker watching the film for the first time in English.
Norwegians do not watch dubbed movies, ever.
Maybe we at war with Norway?
Probably not because the Norwegian are totally trying to help them, but get shot in the process
Making him speak Norwegian so the heroes wouldn't immediately understand what's going on was so smart of Carpenter, great movie.
Makes this scene even more impressive, knowing they got a really good Norwegian actor to say words that explained so much about the plot, knowing most of the audience wouldn't understand.
The actor playing Lars (Norbert Weisser) is German, not Norwegian. He obviously learned how to pronounce the words
I always wanted a prequel with that being the ending
The thing 2011
It exists, but watch at your own peril, for it is not good.
@@blakeprocter5818 It is good, the only bad about it is the CGI, the film makers wanted to use Practical Effects, they made props, but the studio demanded CGI because they were afraid it would look too similar to the 1982 movie, even though that was it's purpose.
If he were to speak it short and simple, "Not dog! Monster!"
...in all honesty, it would've only enforced the impression he was a madman with a gun. The dog looked like a dog and they didn't know they were characters in a horror movie, so no monster was to be expected.
He couldnt.stress of the moment
Less than 24 hours earlier: Lars - ''we have found a f**king alien!!! CHEERS!!!''
Just watched the movie tonight and honestly this movie is my happy place lol 😂
Lesson learned--teach yourself how to say "the dog is an alien" in as many languages as possible.
The captain displayed impressive marksmanship.
Came for the PSB content, subbed for the marginalia
“Marginalia” is my middle name 😂
I understood "It's a thing" and "Idiots!"
The actor wasn't Franco! He was Norbert Weisser!
the fact that when you watch the movie again you realized the same thing that these guys lived, was pretty much the same as the last camp lab.
I was wonderin' when el capitan was gonna get a chance to use his pop gun!
Great scene, great film. Even if he could speak perfect English, would YOU have taken him seriously? Thing? Imitation? What the hell is he on about?
He could've said it was infected with a virus or if it was a parasite, but then again, there'd be no movie.
0:20 this bullet sound effect use in to many movies from early 80s to present time
The first time I watched this movie I knew the dog was going to be part of the alien monster villian stuff.
I always wanted that rifle!!!!!
Hk93
Did a research station have a standard issued with a rifle and a grenade just for *THAT* kind of emergency? Or the Norwegian Station is kinda like an hybrid of an research and military station?
@@Revolutionary_Fish Maybe the Norwegians are REALLY afraid of polar bears, and felt safer knowing they had high powered rifles and grenades to take them out?
@@fcon2123 one rifles is kinda alright, but grenades?😂 Like i am going to war with a bunch of polar bears(And wrong issued rifle, they got military-grade instead of the regular old greasy Hunting Rifle)
@@Revolutionary_Fish To be fair, the Norwegian military used to issue a variant of the H&K G3 (can't recall the exact name): the HK93 (a semiautomatic version of the HK33, itself a 5.56x45 version of the G3) was likely the closest thing the armorers had that resembled actual Norwegian ordnance. Also, an old-style hunting rifle (like a bolt-action rifle) wouldn't have worked the same way from a dramatic POV: the guy wouldn't have looked as dangerous had he had to re-load the gun after each shot. As for the grenades...yeah, that didn't make sense, but the same can be said about the military-style flamethrowers (which use fuel that would freeze in Antartica). Also, there are no bears in Antartica: penguins are the largest land animal you'll find there. But we all know penguins are the most dangerous beasts on Earth and must be fought with any means necessary.
0:12 Only now do I understand what the “dog” did there. The thing wanted to assimilate itself by licking.
Yup, although he didn’t assimilate with Bennings until later, after McReady and Fuchs talked outside
If there wasn't a language barrier between these characters, we probably wouldn't have this movie xd.
Poor guy he went out with a bang like a gangster.
rip poor norwegian guys.
imagine what the movie would have been like if someone knew Norwegian in the camp
Thank you for this.
When it would be really really useful to know a bit of basic Norwegian...
When the Germans in the 1930s tried to warn Americans about what was happening
Now america is paying the price
what was he shouting after he shot one of them?
Somebody wrote: away, away.! But i' m not sure honestly
This meme if norwegian speaks english duration of The thing - 5 minutes
Would've been hilarious if the languages were switched in the Norwegian dub so that it's an American ranting at them in English they can't understand.
Honestly, I would have loved to be norwegian at that moment, in the middle of a bunch of people having no clue of the whole situation.
That was me chasing my Malamute when he got off leash.
Even if Lars did manage to shoot the imitation he still would not kill because every part of it Is a whole so guns would just piss it off just like macready did with a boom stick
0:36 *BOOM HS*
What a stone cold G
Really Gary? You couldn’t shoot him anywhere except in his eye socket? He was chasing the dog. Don’t you sort of want to know why?
My thoughts exactly, I always hated Gary for that same reason
Dude….the only thing he was able to see was a guy shooting one of his comrades with a rifle. You really think there was much time to assess the situation from an alien perspective? 🤦
Gary was a dmbcvnt
The only thing Gary knew was there were gunshots.
He thought his boys were about to get murdered
Okay, so it gets... how cold in the Antarctic? Yet Garry only had to smash a single thin pane of glass.
Love that movie Masterpiece with one of the best actors Kurt Russel
Anyone notice how quickly the dog tried to infect
lick lick lick
Norwegian here. First time I saw the movie I couldn't tell what he was saying. The actor was probably not Norwegian judging by some pronounciations
He's German,actually
Missed dog with 50 rounds, hits human by mistake with 1 round….😂
This is the whole film in a nutshell: how do you know who trust
His pronunciation isn't that bad actually. Sounds like he's imitating a Norwegian voice record.
As a German who never learned that language I think that he said:"Get away from it, idiots!"
rip Peter Schuler
Makes it even better. Subtitles would have spoiled it though.
Sad that the guy survived the horrors of the first attack and to be killed later on just for the thing to continue infecting Outpost 31.
Man, it's a good thing I studied subtitles
'I was wondering when El Capitan was gonna get a chance to use his 'pop gun'" 😮
So my theory was true it wasn't a dog 🤔
It's cool how the beginning makes this guy look like a psychopath when in reality he's trying to save their lives, they just don't realize it because of the language barrier
Damn. The guy missed and yet he died anyway.
see folks, that's what language gap brings to the table
Norwegians who saw this had the whole movie spoiled on them in a few seconds lmao.
0:13 This is what that viral video of the crazy lady on the plane was trying to say, but now she's been assimilated lol
He got the easy way out
Huh. I always thought he said "You goddamned idiots!" Before he started shooting again
I think even if there had been translation for the Norwegian, it wouldn't have been the spoiler people make it out to be. It would not had been established yet what "the Thing" actually is, what it really looks like, how did it become the dog, what does it do... it would have probably left more questions than answers.
Instead of just trying to explain what was going on he should have just yelled
Konnnntaaaaaakt!!!!
The guy with the revolver, you just played yourself.
The prequel makes you really feel sorry for him, as Spoilers the thing has assimilated his dog and he is hunting it down
My theory: dude knew how to speak English, but from the trauma he completely forgot it and could only speak in his native language
Even more tragic
