Has anyone seen this film, Viny Jones stars. His catchphrase is "what is your function in life".
His translator interperates this as "貴方は これは 何 ですか。", but as I have been tought you can't have two subject i.e. は. A japanese friend also stated that this is imposible and did not make any sence, however in one post here someone said that it is possible to have two subject.
I'm confused on this, surely this sentance does not make any sence!

"what is your function in life"
"貴方は これは 何 ですか。"

I know it's not fair to say something about his/her translation without seeing the film, but I swear it would be a horrible translation.

Well it was a comedy film, I guess that might be the joke!
