Rabbit-Proof Fence and Subtitles

I have the R1/NTSC version of Rabbit-Proof Fence.

If you turn on subtitles, you get everything displayed in English. This is
great for the beginning and end where the native Aboriginal native language
is spoken and you want that translation to English in a subtitle.
Unfortunately, with Subtitle 1 on, you get EVERYTHING displayed in English,
including sounds, like [ Sound of Thunder ]. Since 99.9% of the spoken
language is in English, this is annoying to have subtitles displayed just to
get a translation for a couple minutes of the movie.

How can you get ONLY subtitles when English is not spoken, and off when it
is?

I didnt remember that being an issue when I watched it. You sure you arent
referring to CC for the hearing impaired?

I believe the disc defaults to playback with subtitles the way you want
them. Try loading up the disc and not going to the subtitle menu, just
hit PLAY MOVIE. When you manually turn on the subtitle option, captions
for the whole movie are activated.

I didn't have this problem. By default, subtitles only played for the
Aboriginies. Good flick, btw.

Just play the movie normally; it subtitles when necessary automatically.
