Why tf are french translators so good at adding to stories messages? stg this song is so much better in french, it seems more akin to what they originally were gonna write for this song in the demo track "Biggering" and i really appreciate that the french kids who saw this got a good message about corporate greed without the fluff of "oh, we didn't know that what we were doing is bad" seriously, thank you france.

Because in the original movie you saw how he was slowly making more and more decisions (the Once-ler) and trying to justify himself. There was even a scene where he talked to himself. In the new movie this part was put in a song, so it's actually 'wrong' of the Once-ler to admit he knows that it's bad in the song, because it would mean he doesn't care. But he does care, and that's the point: He cares but tries to ignore the fact that it's bad.

And this is so much powerfull to see the « main » character turn evil like that . When i first see it i was like « ho crap is this really a children show cause this is turning scary » And thas a good thing cause like that the song have a real impact. Well that’s what i think...

Honestly, I think that sometimes, the exact meaning of words is lost, instead to get something that seems less off in french dubs. The reason why the Onceler says "It's bad, but never mind" is because "C'est mal, mais tant pis" sound really like "How bad can it be". (If you were wondering, I'm french... Bonus for ya: "gash-pilleur" is a porte-manteau of the french words "gâcher" (to waste, in a non productive way) and "pilleur" (something like robber), probably because the Onceler "steals" the main resource of the forest and "wastes" those trees on thneed.)

I think the fact that he actually knows what he is doing make a parrallel to real factories and pp like him in real life that destroy the environnement for consomation purpose and perfectly know what they are doing but don’t care at all since it’s bringing money. As a french person I use to like the english version meaning more, because it fîts better the caracter, but now I think I like the french meaning more than the english one.

I've been thinking. If the "gash-pilleur" is already aware of what he's doing is bad. Doesn't that break "The past tree falls" scene? He can't be sad because his business falled. If so, he wouldn't care about the animals going away and the Lorax getting his ass out. I think that version of "How bad can i be" doesn't make sense with that other scene. Of course it's just my opinion.

@CatalinaLinal7710

3 жыл бұрын

Not quite. It still makes sense, it just made the scene more complex. In english the emotional build up and pay off are very obvious, the Onceler was ignorant of the consequences his actions had until the damage was already done. So once he actually sees what he did he feels bad in the "The last tree falls" scene. Its very simple and isnt too thought-provocing. The french Onceler on the other hand is very much aware of what hes doing and actively chooses to priorities himself over the damage hes doing to others. He talks big and bigger and bigger and does worse and worse UNTIL the last tree falls and *it actually hit him what he has done!* He justified his horrible actions and behavior until he actually had to FACE them. Its like when you rage and complain about your (bad) job to your family and friends, saying more and more things that justify quitting it to the point where you even take the needed steps to do it, but the moment you actually DO quit you kinda just stand there and it crushes down on you what the hell you just DID - what this means for you and your life. This is basically what happened with the french Onceler. We all can talk big when we plan something or know what we do will come with consequenses so we justify it to ourselves - but the moment you actually have to FACE the consequences the big talk and ignorant/big justifications crumble down and you are left with a reality-check of "oh fuck.. what do I do now?"

The other french version, from Quebec, says ''I'm not *that* bad'', which I find very interesting!

I know I’m 7 years late but I would like to say I think these lyrics are better to the Once-lers development. In the English version, it seems he doesn’t know what he is doing when he is cutting down trees which makes his development seem incomplete or undermined. But here he speaks as if he knows exactly what he is doing and he is not sorry for it. So at the end when he regrets what he did and even waters and helps grow trees, it has a bigger impact and shows how far he really has come.

Holy crap this sounds pretty good

I Find this version to be more catchy Strange..

These lyrics remind me more of "Biggering."

2:14 I think he says "Les clients achètent comptant" which could be translated as "Customers pay cash". This way, he doesn't make "contents" rhyme with "contents" anymore, so I think I'm right.
