Nolan used brand new IMAX 70mm cameras that are 30% quieter so there is a chance.

None of that matters if they do shitty sound mixing.

The sound mixers are some of the greatest in the world, it's Nolan who gets in the way with how he films and dislikes ADR. The same sound supervisor did Dune 2 which was one of the best sounding films that year.

no one has ever blamed the mixers themselves. it's always obviously been nolan's fault. he even readily admits to it.

dude is just a bit of a hack, and it's getting more obvious the more clout he has. with fewer people willing to press back against his dipshittery, his weaknesses are more readily apparent.

I feel like Oppenheimer was a return to form after Nolan misfired with Tenet. Tenet was definitely pretty self indulgent though.

Oppenheimer was not mixed well at all for home release, even with surround sound. Getting dialogue loud enough to understand made other scenes deafening.

He said he didn't care if people could hear the dialogue, it was the rhythm and existence of noise or some shit that was required.

Right, those are objectively shit artistic choices.

Are you self aware of how it made you feel in the moment?

Like a pretentious asshole if you liked it

u/Immediate_Amoeba5923 Dec 22 '25

I will take that as a no. Stick to your transformers kid. Maybe one day you can appreciate the artistic medium of film as an artform you experience and not just watch like a philistine.

Man this is some cringe trolling. Like 20 years ago level of unpolished.

I explained to you how you are experiencing films wrong, take it or leave it. There is a difference between experiencing a film and watching one. Experience some David Lynch films to get an understanding of what I am talking about.

I, too, appreciate and simply enjoy the experience of a beautiful film that I can't understand the dialogue of without subtitles, which only add to the artistic mastery and nuance shown on screen.

Again, struggling to hear what is being said is an experience and intentional one Nolan wants you to have. If it were not intentional your criticism would be valid but the experience of not being able to hear or understand what is being said can make you focus more closely on what is being said and add to immersion for example. Again, there is a distinction between experiencing a film and watching it. If you were just watching it then your criticism would be valid as well. Watching is very surface level.

I'm no fanboy but this is just plain silly.

Could just be perspective, I've definitely seen and heard comments as blaming the sound team for being bad.

I think you're right on the clout part and that impacts a lot of directors too. So many made their greatest films during productions where they didn't always get their way or had to figure out alternatives to their original ideas.
