1e LLCE Mrs G - Real deal dubbing

Choose one of these 3 iconic movie scenes and dub it in groups.

Don't forget to pay attention to:
- the script
- the timing and the lip syncing
- the intensity / feeling / intonation you put into your dubbing

If you have no inspiration, try changing the genre: turn a love story into a fight, a western scene into a love story, an army scene into a sweet or funny scene, etc. The sky is the limit!


Option 1: "A Fistful of Dollars" (Sergio Leone, 1964)

Clint Eastwood: I don’t think it’s nice you’re laughing. You see, my mule don’t like people laughing. He’s the crazy idea you’re laughing at him. Now, if you apologize like I know you’re going to, I might convince him that you really didn’t mean it.

John Baxter: I saw the whole thing: you killed all four. You’ll pay all right, you’ll be strung up!

Clint Eastwood: Who are you?

John Baxter: Don’t fire a shot. I’m John Baxter, sheriff.

Clint Eastwood: Yeah. Well, if you’re the sheriff, you’d better get these men underground. My mistake, four coffins.

Option 2: "Titanic" (James Cameron, 1997)

Rose : Hello Jack. I changed my mind. They said you might be up to…

Jack: Shhhh. Give me your hand. Now, close your eyes. Go on! Step up. Now hold on to the railing. Keep your eyes closed, don’t peek.

Rose: I’m not.

Jack: Step up onto the railing. Hold on. Hold on. Keep your eyes closed. Do you trust me?

Rose: I trust you.

Jack: All right. Open your eyes.

Rose: I’m flying! Jack!

Option 3: "Forrest Gump" (Robert Zemeckis, 1994)

In this extract, you have dialogue and a voice over (in italics below). Dub the voice over only if you have the time to, otherwise, focus on the dialogues only.

Drill Sergeant: Gump! What’s your sole purpose in this army?

Forrest Gump: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!

Drill Sergeant: Goddamn it, Gump! You’re a goddamn genius! That’s the most outstanding answer I’ve ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. Listen up, people...

(Forrest Gump: Now for some reason I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It’s not really hard. You just make your bed real neat and remember to stand up straight and always answer every question with “Yes, drill sergeant."

Drill Sergeant: ...Is that clear?)

Forrest Gump: Yes, drill sergeant!
