Have any of you seen A Quiet Place? I think they did a masterful job with showing the significance of sound. The way they use sound (or don't use it) while showing the perspective of different characters was amazing. I thought it was a really cool way of showing how people tune into sound differently. Everything was just so deliberate and added to the tension, fear, and dread of the characters.
What movies can you think of that used sound very deliberately and to great effect?
I haven't seen that movie yet because I don't handle those kinds of movies all too well. (I'm a wuss.) The way they use sound seems cool though. I can't recall a film where I've seen them use sound to show different perspectives....other than to show that a character can't hear after having an explosive go off near them.
Dunkirk employed sound really well. The sounds of war are louder than anything else in the movie, just as it would have been for those poor souls who were there. It makes the silent parts, the eyes of the storm if you will, that much more suspenseful and terrifying. It was very much a cinematic experience, not a narrative story.
