Chinese movies with Pinyin subtitles?

[JohnLe]

I have been watching Chinese movies on Netflix with English subtitles. I wonder if there are Chinese movies with Pinyin subtitles and where I can find them.

The only site I know of with something like that is http://learn-chinese-from-movies.com/ , but they're fairly pricey. On the upside though they include the pinyin, word for word transcription and flashcards to work from.

 

If you don't mind shorter clips, I believe that Fluentu.com also has something fairly similar, but it only works with their videos and you're stuck streaming.

 

Otherwise, you're probably going to have to go hunting through fan made subtitles as I don't believe that Pinyin is ever and option for commercial DVDs.

 

EDIT: Not sure why that first link isn't loading right now. It seems to have intermittent problems like that.

I'm pretty sure they don't exist "in the wild" (i.e. if you want subtitles, you have to choose a language; if you choose English you get the Latin alphabet, if you choose Chinese you get Chinese). However, materials specifically aimed at learners may have this function; for example, I believe FluentU provides this functionality on their videos. See here for the forum thread on FluentU - unfortunately it starts off with a rant which doesn't seem to be representative of the experience of most other users who replied, but you can browse through and judge for yourself.

Good question that would be Awesome. I have been watching vids on DunDun? maybe wrong with Chinese subtitles and I can learn a bit but Pinyin would b pretty awesome

If you're watching movies on your computer and you have a plaintext SRT file, you can probably use one of many online tools to convert characters to pinyin.

I recently finished making a tool that makes pinyin subtitles from normal Chinese subtitles, you can give it a try here: https://subtitletools.com/chinese-to-pinyin
