Reply to comment by IndyRevolution in Why is it that a lot of TV shows these days have really poor sound mixing by StarChild413

there isn't a single nolan movie where important plot exposition depends on the clarity of a line.

you're missing the story because you're focusing on the least important part of a scene.

he obviously has you hear dialogue when it matters.

like TENET has fucking incredible sound, it's amazing. people are mad because of some lines spoken on the F50 catamarans? come on.

Maybe just don't record the audio on the boat like a lunatic?

It's because he refuses to do ADR like a sane person. Aiden Gillan talked about how he knew he was going to be mocked for the plane scene while he was filming it because he asked Nolan's DP "Are they gonna ADR us?" and the DP said something like "Oh no, Nolan would take that as having done the scene wrong." So the actual scene has the audio all fucked by plane noises and awkward line delivery.

My source is this interview, of which I can't find the full VOD for, but here's a snip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgOCCi8VQO0

... why NOT?

what's wrong with that plane scene? it's probably the coolest thing about that movie?

at some point it might come down to taste. i think the delivery and so on in TENET is fucking fantastic. so is the audio.

you don't need to hear EVERY line of dialogue. i can't help but feel this is the result of a babied audience that isn't used to not being catered to in every respect.

Are you implying that classic Hollywood films were like this? Audio was paramount in those films to the point that many stars were ADRed by voice actors for extremely minute reasons.
