i am not, in fact, saying that at all. almost entirely the opposite.

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

... why NOT?

>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

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.

> But the way that Nolan and friends use it is absolutely ridiculous and way overdone

no, i'm sorry, but there's not a single line in Nolan movies that you need to hear that can't be heard. none.

wear. headphones.

10 minutes into The French Connection (1971) two characters have dialogue about going out for one drink and as soon as it's decided we cut to a significantly louder club scene.

it's not a bad thing. it isn't 'annoying', it's good, it even lets the sound drop in favour for non-diegetic elements for the purpose of storytelling after a bit.

it's not new and it's really not a bad thing. if you really are worried about loud stuff being too loud, wear headphones and cap the max. you won't have to raise the sound or touch it because even a whisper can be heard.

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.
