It's not a satisfying explanation. :lol Just a lot about wanting to use sound in an unfamiliar, experimental way that people aren't used to in blockbusters.

I liked what he did with Bane, but the mix in Interstellar was bad. The sound, like everything else in movies, is supposed to enhance the story, not hinder it.

 

[Inferno313]

I love Atonement but it was distracting. It's a well done scene at the end of the day but I think many directors have done tracking shots at the films expense now just to impress us with a technical detail.

Innaritu is the worst with it imo. I can no longer be immersed by the scene when it's happening.

Innaritu does this with everything. The music choices, the camera movements, all of it. It's all there because he finds it beautiful and showy, not because it does what is necessary to advance or aid the story in anyway. Trash-tier filmmaker. Zack Snyder of the art-house world.

 

[strafer]

Except for Nolan films usually these things don't require zooming in, slow mo views to spot. He really does boring/lazy action sequences in his movies, his fights always lack any feeling of impact or realism. He's bad at action directing

He should have gotten Spielberg to help him with the action sequences. Now that's a movie I would see.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

It looks pretty. But, falls pretty flat in selling the story. Indifferent towards it. Will wait for the second trailer before deciding if I'll wait for Blu-Ray or see in theaters.

 

[BeforeU]

Is Hacksaw Ridge really that good?

It was good until last 10min.
Lot of gore and great war sequences.

though I thought the last 10min were too much cringe

 

[ana]

I think that looks too.... clean?
where is the dirt and grime...

 

[Theorry]

What am i seeing that's sigh worthy here? People ducking after an explosion?
I'm far from a Nolan fan, but this kind of shit is a bit sad, especially since it makes up a lot of modern "movie critique" on the internet.

Like, are people more interested in pointing out (real or otherwise) small continuity errors and a couple of extras out of place, rather than engage a movie on a deeper level?

No but if its really stands out like this i am gonna notice. And i watch alot of trailers and movies. And we are not talking about a B movie here.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Is Nolan that desperate for an Oscar? It looks like generic Oscar bait. Great cast, tho.

Just FYI, the vast majority of the time, music for movie trailers comes from a trailer music library. Especially early trailers like this. So it's very unlikely that the music in this trailer is actually from the score. It could be possible, but it's not likely.

I remember when people went nuts about the music on the Interstellar trailers, only to find out that it was Evey Reborn by Dario Marianelli.

 

[Fret]

Love the soundtrack but yeah, the trailer is missing a hook or point. Makes the story seem very simple and flat, which I doubt it is.

 

[Discotheque]

I think that looks too.... clean?
where is the dirt and grime...

i'm worried about this too, but then the hacksaw ridge trailer had some pretty clean looking war scenes and the final film was anything but haha.

i'm not expecting this to be remotely as brutal as that film was but I think the trailer is misleading how clean it all appears to be.

edit: also smh at this wack gif analysis yet again, I didn't even notice it when watching the trailer and now the scrutiny will force me to pin point on it.

 

[Loxley]

Hmm, didn't really do much for me. Still excited as hell for the film, but the trailer was just kind of ..."Okay."

 

[number11]

Well that was a weird trailer. We've had so many great trailers this year.. and that was kinda underwhelming.

 

[Steejee]

Sigh Nolan.

I can't stop watching the guy on the far right doing a very casual dive into the sand.

 

[ZeroX03]

The Inception trailer score was composed by Zack Hemsey.

The Interstellar trailer score was composed by Thomas Bergersen

The Dark Knight Rises used Zimmer music though as far as I know, so it could be either.

BB and TDK used Zimmer.

Should clarify I meant first release stuff, other than Inception pretty sure they've all had some Zimmer in the first showing. By the end of movie marketing they're pumping out a whole bunch of trailers for chopping up into different spots or whatever so it's inevitable they start using stock tracks or alternatively composed stuff.

 

[strafer]

By the way, is this movie rated R?

 

[ArjanN]

Like I said in the poster thread:

"bring on Mecha-Hitler"

But it's looking more like it is just a boring war movie played straight.

 

[Skatterd]

So is this movie going to be about the myth of Dunkirk and then be like "but that's not what happened"

 

[Futureman]

looks pretty great. Is Nolan shooting this on film still?

 

[Blader]

just seems a bit mean.

Oh wait, this is totally true actually.

Now I get your point Blader.

Yeah, I don't mean it's not impressive craft. I think it looks cool, and I do like the tracking shots in The Revenant, too. Just seems like a lot of times, pretty and cool-looking cinematography is more about being pretty and cool-looking than saying something about what's actually being shown, if that makes sense.

looks pretty great. Is Nolan shooting this on film still?

Nolan won't go digital unless film stock goes completely extinct.

 

[UrbanRats]

No but if its really stands out like this i am gonna notice. And i watch alot of trailers and movies. And we are not talking about a B movie here.

It doesn't really stand out though? Again, people ducking when being shot at, is not that weird.
Of course anything giffed and looped is going to look weird.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

I like Nolan, but man, this looks dull and boring. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Lifejumper]

By the way, is this movie rated R?

PG13 I believe.

 

[Mariolee]

Very unimpressed. A lot of that looked like a big budget BBC TV film or something.

Lol what

 

[takriel]

Yeah this subject does not interest me at all right now. Why no Interstellar 2?

 

[Blader]

So is this movie going to be about the myth of Dunkirk and then be like "but that's not what happened"

Ha, maybe that'll be the subversive part of the plot!

 

[Hesemonni]

I like Nolan, but man, this looks dull and boring. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm amazed. Nolan movie I have absolutely zero interest in and no intention of seeing it in the cinema even after seeing the first trailer.

That's a first.

I secretly hope that 'the event that shaped our world' is a mecha or space nazi attack to make the movie more interesting.

 

[Boris]

Music in the trailer is not Zimmer, it's this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgLgWl_xZVU

e: at least the first half..

 

[Raptor]

So is this movie going to be about the myth of Dunkirk and then be like "but that's not what happened"

What is the myth?

 

[Charcoal]

I can't stop watching the guy on the far right doing a very casual dive into the sand.

Or the guy to his left who just decides to take a knee.

 

[Inferno313]

Y'all a buncha nerds.

 

[Discotheque]

second half could be zimmer though, that's the track I was really feeling. I hope it's from the OST.

 

[ZeroX03]

Color me surprised

 

[number11]

PG13 I believe.

A pg-13 war movie? Meaning we're not even gonna see blood?

I'm not saying it can't be done.. but my interest level has dropped.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

'Nolan gravitas' is becoming really tiring. Once upon a time his characters spoke something resembling actual dialogue.

 

[Boris]

second half could be zimmer though, that's the track I was really feeling. I hope it's from the OST.

yeah, it could be.

 

[| Praxis |]

Looks great, and to have a big budget film about the British in WW2 and not America is awesome.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Come on Nolan, I want bodies flying.

This shot has always looked wrong. The guy flies up way too late. Even the cameraman has to pause a little to wait for the guy to fly up.

 

[Daft_Cat]

I secretly hope that 'the event that shaped our world' is a mecha or space nazi attack to make the movie more interesting.

Yeah. Here's hoping he turns this movie about an important historic event into something stupid and tasteless.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

PG13 I believe.

What for real? A PG13 war movie? My Hype is dying.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

I just realized the title is the English name for Duinkerke in Belgium, used to go there a lot as a kid.

 

[SolidChamp]

Will probably be his best film since Insomnia, if that trailer is anything to go by.

I'm down.

 

[Ninjimbo]

I love Atonement but it was distracting. It's a well done scene at the end of the day but I think many directors have done tracking shots at the films expense now just to impress us with a technical detail.

Innaritu is the worst with it imo. I can no longer be immersed by the scene when it's happening.

It's the opposite for me. It makes what's going on seem all the more real since there isn't any cutting involved. That one single shot, if done correctly, can give you enough time to absorb the environment and the acting in a way that constantly shuffling around the shots doesn't. Just think of the opening to The Revenant or the driving sequence in Children of Men. It's for good reason that those sequences stay in people's minds. The shocking moments are allowed to linger with no cuts to remind you that this is all supposed to be fake.

 

[Inferno313]

Yeah. Here's hoping he turns this movie about an important historic event into something stupid and tasteless.

but mah mecha

 

[MrPink93485]

'Nolan gravitas' is becoming really tiring. Once upon a time his characters spoke something resembling actual dialogue.

The dialogue used in the Interstellar trailers were far more egregious, this is relatively more normal in comparison.

 

[Retsudo]

Boring trailer. Nolan has missed the mark in his latest movies for me.

Ridiculous "acting".

 

[purseowner]

Glorification of war on film continues not to interest me, even if done by Nolan.

Guess I'll see what I make of 11 minutes more of it tomorrow, attached to a far more palatable war movie with space, heavy breathing, and droids.

 

[Fret]

This shot has always looked wrong. The guy flies up way too late. Even the cameraman has to pause a little to wait for the guy to fly up.

yeah its hilarious how people analyse the gif from the trailer but ignore this. its very obviously a botched shot and not timed well.

 

[DoubleYou]

Looking forward to this. Bring back the WW2 movies and games.

 

[Theorry]

It doesn't really stand out though? Again, people ducking when being shot at, is not that weird.
Of course anything giffed and looped is going to look weird.

Well it does because i noticed right away and was like wtf.
Its looks very bad. Every person in that shot is doing something weird.

 

[the_firewithin]

I can't stop watching the guy on the far right doing a very casual dive into the sand.

Is that the same smiling guy from the boat?
