The Big Picture One of the most underrated elements in modern cinema is sound, yet to appreciate a film fully, pictures and sound go hand in hand. While the advent of sound in cinema has provided an opportunity for a more layered sound use, sound design is yet to get its deserved recognition, even with its enormous contribution to films.
With his grand-scale filmmaking, unconventional narrative techniques, and breathtaking visuals, Christopher Nolan did not start experimenting with sound with Oppenheimer; he had already earned a mixed reputation for it, garnering both plaudits and criticism. So much so that the conversation found its way into Tom Shone's book, The Nolan Variations.
Christopher Nolan's 'Dunkirk' Depicts the Sounds of World War II Close Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is a movie that Quentin Tarantino has hailed as Nolan's "apex mountain." But even with his pronouncement, there is one scene in the film that Tarantino was particularly impressed with. Coincidentally, like Oppenheimer, it is another bomb scene, and a perfect combination of sound and pictures in filmmaking.
To deliver the scene to the audience, Nolan uses the soldiers as his point of view. First, it's an eerie calmness at the mole. Then the distant sirens of the airplanes are heard, and their sound becomes more intense as they approach. As they unleash bombs, you can hear the "Boom! Boom! Boom!" sound as it grows nearer and nearer the soldier whose point of view Nolan has decided to tell the story.
