The sound illusion that makes Dunkirk so intense

7 жыл бұрынWhy Christopher Nolan is obsessed with Shepard tones.

Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is a nerve-wracking movie. Three separate storylines tell the tale of the famed World War II evacuation in a intense two hours of film. A lot of that feeling has to do with how the film's score uses Shepard tones - layered sound waves that simulate a constant ascent in tone - to create a sensation of building tension. They're a personal favorite trick of Nolan's: he's based sound effects and entire soundtracks with other composers on the auditory illusion. In Dunkirk, composer Hans Zimmer crafted his soundtrack around the effect - and it's an auditory masterpiece.

When it comes to Nolan movies, I often find myself in a state where I do think the film is good or OK ish, but the soundtrack is incredible. A lot of people love Inception, it personally left me fairly disappointed, BUT I listen to the soundtrack quite often, I heard it at least 50 times ... to me, it's a pure magic. The same goes for Interstellar which considering everything I really like, but the soundtrack, the mix of analogue organ and other instruments is immensely powerful far exceeding the visual or the story.

I had the pleasure of watching the film last Sunday at Phenomena cinema in Barcelona. It was a 70mm showing with DTS audio. Before the film began, however, one of the staff members, a Director of Photography, explained that Nolan himself had been to the cinema a couple of weeks before for a private showing and had calibrated the projector and audio to his liking. His audio tastes were peculiar, to say the least. We were told that the volume we were going to experience was slightly lower than what Nolan requested due to how loud it was. They were right, every gunshot was deafening and the pacing of the film combined with the overwhelmingly loud soundtrack and immersive experience of the 70mm film made for an intense experience. I was genuinely recoiled in my seat and physically recoiling with each gunshot.

The Spitfires sounded incredibly real too, even down to the little clicks. If I'm not mistaken, they actually used real Stukas and Spitfires, because Nolan didn't want to use any CGI. Still, points for leaving in the specific plane sounds, and not taking them out, or drowning them in other noise.

Dunkirk is a very different movie and not your standard war movie. There is very little dialogue a very simple plot, not much gore and almost no character development ( I think I remember 1 characters name). The movie is not for everyone because of how different it is and some will find it very boring. That being said I really enjoyed it the sound was amazing and in every scene I felt completely immersed in what was happening. I like how it show 3 different perspective of land air and sea and I like how the movie wasn't crazy long like other war movies. If you haven't seen it yet go into the movie expecting it to be different and you may or may not like it depending on what I mentioned.

The biggest thing was that the little dialogue that was in the movie was most of the time incomprehensible. I can always understand English accents but in this movie, almost none of the actors enunciated their words? I guess this movie would be better for British folk haha

Nolan also uses this illusion with the drama of intercut scenes. He’ll introduce one scene, and in the middle cut to another and another then cut back to the first one, and intercut between them all and even introduce new ones. It gives the illusion that the drama is infinitely rising, then when they all reach their conclusions(sometimes simultaneously) its super satisfying. But he can keep you watching by withholding the conclusion of at least one of those scenes at any given moment if he wants to, you may not be aware of it but he’s keeping the drama going.

Wow. Sometimes when I'm trying to sleep but my mind is still hyper, I imagine a jet engine turning off. But sometimes I don't do it right, so it turns out exactly like 1:30-1:38, and it takes a while for me to go to sleep. Good to know that it has a name. Thanks for nothing, Shepherd-Risset Glissando.

The sound absolutely made Dunkirk for me. It had been years since a film had me riding the edge of my seat like that. While others were thinking it was too loud I was sitting there basking in almost a panick attack of suspense and thrill that lasted almost till the last moment of the film. I thought everything was beautiful and it's a masterpiece of a film most definitely. I still wish I could go see it in theatres with all the sound.

Another great example of shepard tones for "increasing tension effect" is on TENET soundtrack by Ludwig Göransson. You can notice it very clearly in "Rainy Night in Tallinn" and "Posterity", for example.

Navi Gill USA Today said that some could see the movie and complain at the lack of female or colored characters, but then went on to say to those with any complaints about this that the movie was a great heroic tale, and in the historical time frame it wouldn't make sense if it had large a female or colored role, especially because Dunkirk is the story of how about 400,000 white men were waiting on a beach expecting to die or be captured. Conservative media had a field day though taking the part about were USA Today briefly mentioned possible far left complaints and implied that USA Today hated the movie because there weren't enough women or colored people.

This movie was so freaking good. The people that thought it was boring are clearly too young to understand what actually happened in Dunkirk, or cannot appreciate the sound, visual effects and psychological thrill aspect of the movie. The movie's purpose was not to tell a story, the purpose is to make you feel like you were one of the 400,000 soldiers escaping Dunkirk with your life on the line. If you expected a love story or a dialogue heavy story, you're going to be disappointed with this movie.

@jonathanblaze1648 7 жыл бұрын
ALL movies have the purpose to tell a story. Or else why are we there? Dunkirk was telling the story of what happened there with the evacuation. But with no character development, I didn't care about any of the people in the movie except Mark Rylance, who did have some development. It's strictly about taste. Some people will not care and will love the spectacle Nolan gave us. Some will care and will feel distant from the movie and people in it. Although I was impressed with the sound and effects. The scenes of peril were repetitive and I just didn't care much about the individuals. I liked the movie more than the people who hate on it, but as a huge Nolan fan a good movie is not what I expect from him. I expect a great movie. Dunkirk was disappointing.
@tomquinn6436 6 жыл бұрын
I loved Dunkirk. However it was very different and I can see why people disliked it. Not everyone enjoys the constant tension, basically non existent plot and minimal character development. Personally the only but I thought was a bit lack luster was the spitfire sequence, but I liked how they tied in at the end.

I hate this kind of pretentiousness where people think they are more intelligent or more educated than someone else based on the kind of movies they like. I happened to love Dunkirk but me loving it doesn't make me more mature or wise or intelligent than other people who didn't enjoy it. I like an immersive experience. Other people watch movies to unwind or turn their brains off after a busy week. The purpose of entertainment differs between everyone. People who didn't love dunkirk may very well be knowledgable about the event that took place, but the movie simply wasn't their cuppa tea. Don't assume.

+n1njasause Excuse me, but I don't mean this to sound oversimplified or condescending, but I don't know the context from which you don't understand as it is plainly obvious from my perspective. Nevertheless, a shill, used in this context, is one who pretends to give an impartial opinion when in fact they themselves have a vested interest. Both on their website and in their KZfaq about me they state their 'impartiality' as a matter of fact. They attempt to present the news as if they are showing the impartial and correct side of each story they cover. Their claim to impartiality is a dubious one at best and an outright deceiving one at worst. I would have more respect for them if they were actually impartial (on politics particularly). Perhaps take a more objective approach when looking at data or maybe just hire some conservative interns, writers, producers, etc.... How many conservatives do you think work on those politics videos? Newsflash; none. If they aren't going to actually be impartial, I would rather they were just upfront with their Liberal-Leftist agenda.
