Their dialogue is louder and clearer, while the music and sfx really are in the background. I chalk it up to aesthetics being a mirror of the soul of the people, as well as being formed from politics which is formed from ethics, epistemology, metaphysics.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-63803168950425139872016-03-03T01:06:44.212-05:002016-03-03T01:06:44.212-05:00Must be all turtles going down.Must be all turtles going down.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-59330336057880298302016-02-29T12:57:14.103-05:002016-02-29T12:57:14.103-05:00It may be my long abused ears, but my main complai...It may be my long abused ears, but my main complaint with sound, at least with TV programs, and in particular British TV programs, is the background music/noise can be so annoyingly loud as to make difficult to hear the dialoge. I "get it" that to be realistic, you want some street noise and bar noise etc, but it is a movie, not real life, and if the actors are unintelligible, the story is lost. <br /><br />( the corollary to this is that REALLY loud noises, are attenuated to mildness-I don't think any of the sound people ever heard a gunshot.) ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-24262867453912168632016-02-29T09:44:39.961-05:002016-02-29T09:44:39.961-05:00I thought Mad Max was amazing.

It's amazing to me that they were able to maintain that pace through the movie with only one short break most of the way through without exhausting the audience. And it pushed the Heavy Metal line between hardcore and ridiculous as far as you could go without crossing it, which is a real feat in itself. It deserved <i>some</i> sort of award.<br /><br />I don't know enough about the technical details of sound editing, though, to know what would go into an award on that point.
