Comment Re:Better plots? (Score 1) 1029

Must disagree. Movie -- maybe was too bad to tie up a plot, which made some scenes and themes irrelevant while others were elevated to primary (and much of the book plot was somewhat changed), but anyone who read Zhivago would recognize that Pasternak wrote a great book with a solid plot comparative to Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. But than again, movies sometimes distort books.

Comment Re:What does "porque cae agua jaja" mean? (Score 1) 186

This technology does not do good enough translation because the output is a gibberish. Someone who is a native Spanish speaker would be able to tell exactly what "because water falls "jaja"" means. Direct and indirect meanings, whatever it might mean.
1. The speaker could be talking about a waterfall
2. The speaker could be talking about a play
3. The speaker could be hinting on something sexual.

In this small context we do not know, especially since "jaja" is not in a standard dictionary but most likely is a cultural reference, and pneumatically we can only guess what it means. (btw, could it be jojo and the guy than saying that water falls up and down?)
and yes I agree with the poster above -- you are being a troll here.
