NOTE

The Problem With Subtitles in Movies

In recent years, dialogue in movies and TV shows has become increasingly difficult to understand, leading to widespread use of subtitles. This can be attributed to various factors in the filmmaking process, sometimes unintentional but not always.

In Tenet, the overpowering sound design drowns out the voices, making them muffled and lost in the mix.
