Subs v Dubs

In the debate between dubbing and subbing 
I side with subs to savor the original 
mellifluous French, Tamil, Korean, Italian...
Reading the subtitles assists the deaf 
and hard of hearing although voiceovers 
benefit the blind and vision impaired.
Historically dubbing was employed 
by fascist governments to advance
the nationalist agenda. In our own time 
the tendency to consider dubbers dumb
implies reading’s the indispensable skill. 
My wife reads her mail while watching movies 
so she prefers dubs. I admire her mastery
of two idioms simultaneously
but my limited bandwidth favors subs.
