In my experience DVD subtitles correspond only roughly to film dialogue.

That is true for most professionally made subtitles. However, fan-made subtitles tend to be a bit more literal in translation, and even tend to have tiny cultural notes here and there.

I find it helpful to print out the script of the film I'm watching and refer to it when I can't understand a sentence.
