And that's really all it boils down to because if we DID speak the language, it wouldn't matter if we had never been there and didn't "understand the culture"... if we understood the language, we could watch and listen to it all anyway.
But it also might be kinda trippy to watch a bunch of foreign language content WITHOUT understanding the language... what if you eventually just started to pick up the gist of things?
Ah well, someday AI will be able to translate movies into every language anyways. I don't 100% hate AI, it's only bad in certain ways which are wholly unacceptable to me. Would I use it to translate some of the most "cult classic" Russian et al. films out there so I could watch them? Fuckin' probably.
