I watched the film several times, but only synchronized to German.
FWIW I also dislike if native German speakers don't speak "good" German,
OTOH I read a lot of German Linux howtos written in "disgusting" German,
but those howtos still where very useful. I prefer howtos that are
"good" and written in "disgusting" German over howtos that are
technically disgusting, but written in perfect German.
