Park sang joon Posted 12 years ago
Grammar

I'd like to know which is proper in the context.

People complaining this isn't a horror film must not understand the mockumentary genre. It's a lovely little film, rich with detail, not to mention the awesome Norwegian landscape. I understand that if one is Norwegian, there cues to culture and mythology throughout. But without getting any of that, really, I'm satisfied.

I have rephrased the underlined phrase to the following;
1. I understand that if one is Norwegian, he knows there are cues to culture and mythology throughout.
2. I understand that if one is Norwegian; there are cues to culture and mythology throughout.

I'd like to know which is proper in the context.-#1 or #2

I didn't say that #1 was 'improper'. I simply said that #2 was correct. It is correct because there was a mistake in the original text - the word 'are' was accidentally omitted.
