Good points both from leon and batman. i'm an actor, and one of the things we try to teach people with regards to classical literature, (IE Shakespeare and Greek theatre) is that the language, while english, since it isn't exactly modern, can often be hard to catch on to, or even understand at all, when first watching plays of this types, it is often helpful to only observe the emotions of the actors. we find, in many cases, that kids are pretty adept at following along with a story using this kind of technique. it is also a measure of an actor's skill, if he can transcend the words to find the deeper meaning and portray it, so for me, watching this without subtitles would be fantastic, because it forces us to focus on the core story
