Thought On Mon Oncle

This film opened my eyes to exaggerated audio effects can be.  Having every sound added to the visual after the fact is something that I have never listened to or viewed before. It made me think about how the general public would react to a contemporary movie made that way today. I think the majority of people would find it more difficult to watch, as I did with Mon Oncle, because we are so accustomed to the contemporary way of mixing sound in film. I also think that if this technique was employed to the extreme today that it would make horror films funny and action films choppy, etc.
