20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2020

20. The Controversial Sound Mixing - Tenet

Ever since The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan's movies have been noted for their unconventional sound mixes, where dialogue clarity is far from Nolan's focal concern, leading to considerable audience frustration.

This reached its apex in Nolan's new film Tenet, where the director intentionally drowned much of the dialogue out by boosting the environmental sound effects and also Ludwig Göransson's booming musical score.

Given the film's considerable narrative complexity, it ensured many audience members were left more irritated than thrilled, desperately trying to make sense of the scarcely audible exposition dumps, with key dialogue often simply mumbled underneath gas masks.

Nolan defended the sound mix following the public outcry, noting that he prefers his movies to sound "impressionistic" above all else.

Yet for anyone trying to make sense of the director's heady action film, the soupy sound mix made it far more of a chore than anyone expected.

More to the point, for a film supposedly sent to cinemas to "save" the global box office, actively designing it to work against audience comprehension wasn't the smartest idea.
