O Homem que Fazia Chover: O Poder do Sonho e da Determinação
Title
Dubbing Justice: Legal Rhetoric and Cultural Adaptation in the Brazilian Portuguese Version of The Rainmaker (1997)
- "o homem que fazia chover": The localized title, poetic and literal, distinct from the English original.
- "dublado": The requirement. The user did not want subtitles. They wanted the comfort of Portuguese voices, the familiarity of a dubbed world where they didn't have to squint at the bottom of the screen.
- "divxovore": This is the signature of the era. DivX was the codec of choice, compressing DVDs into files small enough to fit on a single CD-ROM. To "run best" on a DivX file was to hope the audio sync held and the pixelation didn't obscure the actors' faces during the rainstorm scenes.
Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon), a recent law school graduate in Memphis, struggles to find work before joining a shady firm run by the flamboyant "Bruiser" Stone (Mickey Rourke). Rudy soon partners with Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), a street-smart paralegal who has flunked the bar exam six times, to start their own practice. Roger Ebert
