Finally, consider the ethics of mediation. Dubbing is an act of authorship: choices about tone, emphasis, and omission are value-laden. Creators of dubbed versions bear responsibility not merely to convey plot, but to preserve—or consciously reinterpret—the moral textures of the work. When done with sensitivity, dubbing can amplify a film’s capacity to provoke, to unsettle complacency, and to open cross-cultural dialogue. When done carelessly, it can domesticate rupture into cliché.
