The dumbest shyt I read from that excerpt was how he said people don't care what a film is shot on (referencing the iPhone) and then said, but people get pissed if the audio sucks.

He said that like the audio isn't just as important as the visual in this medium of storytelling

:wtf:


Audio is pretty essential in a movie Christopher, if it's not right or off, it becomes a distraction that takes away from what is being shown

:mindblown:
The audio is even more important than the visuals, because bad picture quality might make the final product look cheap, but you can still enjoy it, if the story being told is engaging. Bad audio on the other hand just makes the whole thing unbearable. Just think about it, watching a low quality 360p rip of a movie on a laptop might not be the best way to experience it, but you still might do it if you have no better version. But a 4k rip on a 65" tv becomes immediately unwatchable if the audio is distorted or slightly out of sync.

He definetly is inspired by Michael Mann in that department both in terms of shots and sound mixing and thats not always a good thing.


Although I feel like his movies have less a problem with sound mixing and more how he lets dialogue get delivered so matter of factly that maybe people dont catch it.

Interstellar: On his deathbed Dr Brand confesses to having lied all along. He lied to save humanity, but not current humans, only future humans. The current ones are all doomed to die. Its a pivotal moment in the movie

After watching Tenet I'm over this guy. The shyt was a bloated convoluted mess as is and he had the music way too fukking loud again. He been overrated IMO but Tenet just cemented it for me.

I saw Dunkirk at the Alamo Downtown Brooklyn and the lights automatically came on by accident, halfway through the film

They all came and gave us passes for a free flick, which I later used on a Marvel flick, which was an infinitely better experience

That whole movie was just loud as fukk with awful mixing....just awful

I understand the whole wanting to make you feel like you're in the cockpit shyt, but there's nothing "conservative" about me wanting to be able to actually hear the film

:yeshrug: I’ve never had these issues with the score or dialogue in his movies. I’ve watched Interstellar dozens of times and just watched Tenet a second time last week.

I enjoy his mixing, definitely adds something different. I've seen tenet twice, I mean I think the dialogue is fine. Wouldnt call it inaudible
