If you're wondering why I haven't posted many clips from today's events it's because I'm salty that Twitch wiped the 50+ clips I made.

#mod talk #''Maybe the problem is you made 50 clips within a very short span of time'' shhhhhhhhhhh #I usually use my own downloader when watching VODs but when I'm doing it live I usually just do short clips #but I was looking back through and Twitch was like ''Nope! All gone!'' #Real Cool Of You Twitch #anyways I'm queueing a billion clips I've meant to post for the past few months #until my head cools and I try and re-clip at least a few things #maybe #I also exceeded my daily video upload limit which is stupid because I only posted like 5 videos today #Homophobia never sleeps

Oppenheimer spoilers below

Christopher Nolan.

You done it again.

I’m sure I could touch on so many things in this movie. I might later, I might not. But leaving the theater I felt so deeply unsettled, and I wanted to touch on that, from my point of view as an amateur writer and someone starting to feel comfortable talking about cinematography (although I have no current plans to do much more than talk about it).

Now I’d like to start by saying that, if you haven’t seen it or it didn’t make that big of an impact on you, this is a long movie. I, myself, am no stranger to long movies and I think it was marvelously done. That being said, my memory tends to leave things to be desired, so while I am writing this rather soon after I watched and digested it, others may have stronger points/counter points/evidence/what-have-you.

With that out of the way, I’d like to talk about one facet of the movie that Christopher Nolan, imo, harnessed in a way that I did not expect. And it wasn’t color, it wasn’t camera perspective, it wasn’t even the timeline.

It was his usage of sound.

From the very beginning, sound has always been a key factor in this movie. In the trailer, the crackling of the radiation detector is ominously present. It is used less frequently in the movie than I had predicted, but when it makes its “appearance” it most certainly put me on the edge of my seat. It brings a sense of gravity to an already serious situation. Engrossed in the movie as I was, I admit the sound mainly made me uneasy because it demonstrated the presence of radiation. Looking back, I can add to that and say it may have also been used as a foreshadowing tool.

Now, I’m sure we’ve all heard sound used a foreshadowing tool. The little girl screaming for help is actually the protagonist with a shadowy past who can’t get the sound of the daughter/random child he couldn’t save out of his head. The words of an interrogation in the beginning of a movie finally get context half-way through when the timelines finally align. It’s been used, it’s been subverted, it’s nothing new.

Except when it is. In my experience, and I am the first to admit that I haven’t seen enough movies of the genre to have a definitive say in the matter, I have never been quite as unsettled or shocked by the background noises than while watching Oppenheimer.

Let me start with the sound that will not leave my mind. Those damned boots. I’d heard it at school pep rallys when everyone would stomp in the bleachers. I had never expected to hear it in a movie about the man who made the atomic bomb. When I first heard it, I thought it was an aesthetic choice, like picking the music to evoke a certain emotion. And while it is that, all of sound is, I never actually expected for it to be from such a central scene.

When the boots were first connected to a scene, a short, split-second, blink-and-you-miss-it shot of shoes-on-bleachers, it was early enough in the movie that I thought it was a flashback of a pep rally at one of his schools, maybe as a boy genius, and I let it go. Later on, when they show the full scene, it’s terrifying.

And then you can’t hear the boots at all.

For hours, all you could hear were those boots in the back of stressful scenes and now that they’re there, now that you can see them, suddenly they’re gone. You know what they’re supposed to sound like, so why would you need to hear them again? And it helps build the suspension, the tension that Oppenheimer is feeling during that scene. And so the next time you hear it in the movie, the next time those boots are stomping on the bleacher in the background when they are in a meeting or an interrogation, it pulls you right back into the stress and horror of the bleacher speech.

And then, of course, you begin to realize that while the timelines had been so well interwoven that it seemed like you couldn’t go two scenes without hearing those boots, it was always a very specific scene, a specific timeline that the boots would make an appearance. Because, of course, in one Oppenheimer hadn’t heard them yet, and in another it’s not Oppenheimer at all.

Another prominent sound that I mentioned earlier is the Geiger Counter (I finally looked up the name!). This is a foreshadowing of a different kind, more physically consequential than mental. This, I believe, foreshadows the heavy losses suffered later in the movie by the radiation poisoning. The blast itself only killed so many people, it was the radiation, as they are so fond of pointing out in the movie, that helped round out the total killed in the bombings.

I’ll admit that it’s a bit of a stretch, but I can see it being a small detail that was added in.

On another note, I’d like to address how Nolan also utilized the absence of sound.

Oppenheimer (movie) doesn’t necessarily have jump scares, per se, but rather I jumped a lot during the movie. More startled with a side of deep-seated dread rather than scared. Any way you put it, Nolan does a very good job of keeping me at the edge of my seat. I’ve mentioned earlier the lack of sound during the bleacher scene (containing about half of the many times I jumped during the movie) so I won’t go into that again.

Another part of the movie where he employs this is the bomb test. This is the culmination of years of hard work, the pinnacle of one of three (four?) timelines. And you can’t hear a thing. You get the countdown (a staple from the trailer), the drop, and then… nothing.

It’s a beautiful flash of light and an explosion but the whole time there’s not a sound to be heard. At first it feels like it’s gone just so you can look at the view and then as you’re lulled into security… the shockwave hits.

I can’t remember the last time I jumped so high in a movie theater.

And it’s used for every time you see the shockwave. Silence, wind, and then a force pushes everything back, rattling the house, whipping up the dust. It’s really iconic imo.

Anyway, I walked out fixated on the noises of that movie. And the cackling of the neon did not help my dazed state.

Apparently my brain really hates when names have A, U, and R in them, because without fail, every time I go to type Arthur my brain wants to spell it “Aurthur” or perhaps “Aurthr” and every time I go to type Marius my brain wants to type “Mauris” or maybe “Maurius” or maybe “Maurias” its unclear because I *usually* notice my mistake by the end because it’s clear to me those ending are wrong. Brain just really wants “AUR” together.

#if you see me misspell those names. that’s why #also im american so i default to pronouncing marius— hang on let me look up some IPA symbols #i pronounce is with this vowel ‘ɑ’ which is the open back unrounded vowel #where as they seem to pronounce it with the ‘e’ symbol which is an english (or at least am english) long a sound. #they say it like the name mary. like ‘marry us’ #reasons english needs either more vowel symbols or accent marks #also i am aware the ipa vowels are fucked up but its still the best ive got because even in the same language there are accents and- #dialects and that makes examples hard. i also learned recently that british and australian english has actual long an short vowels. #i knew american english didnt have strut (inverted v) but i didnt know- i mean i kinda did because i had noticed it but like not fully- #understood it. anyway if youve read this far you should go watch dr geoff lindsey on youtube hes great #to be clear we have ‘long’ and ‘short’ vowel sounds in am english. but ‘long’ and ‘short’ are just names. the actual length that we say- #them is apparently basically the same. at least when compared with br and au english. #dr geoff lindsey *just* published a video about this. re: how br and au eng speakers say ‘two o’clock’ and ‘four o’clock’ as significantly- #different lengths. while am english speakers say them the same length. he also touches on a bunch of other interesting stuff #im not gonna fandom tag this i guess #i think its funny though that its arthur and marius since they are both voiced by the same person #oh also i think all IPA symbols should have special names like eng. schwa. and strut. rather than having to be called shit like ‘open back- #unrounded vowel.’ although i do realize that theres a fuck tonne of ipa symbols. i also think each of the names should have the sound it- #represents in it. #im autistic about pronunciation somehow. arent i supposed to be in the… *other* sciences. how did this happen?

Bro... what happened to my copy of OMORI...

WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT??? I use 2x Resolution, Windowed mode (I have a fear of putting anything in fullscreen). And the last time I played the game, it did not look like that. It looked like that when I booted it up and thought loading a random save might fix it maybe but no.

This ^^^ is an old screenshot from last time I played where there's no unnecessary black void wasting space.

SO WHAT HAPPENED TO IT NOW??? THERE'S A VOID EVERYWHERE! I didn't touch this game for nearly a year bro, I also didn't touch any of my Steam settings so what the fuck is that.

#aria rants #i was thinking of finally revisiting OMORI but i aint playing this game like that bro. the black borders aint even balanced ugh... #its also either that horrendous looking thing or 1x res which is the tiniest lil box i aint playing with smth as tiny as that #also the reason why i have a fear of putting anything in fullscreen is that in the past we had a different pc #it bluescreened once while i was playing osu! and bluescreened another time while i was watching a vid on fullscreen #and no matter what game or even just a youtube video. the moment i put it on fullscreen itll start lagging and freeze for a bit #and i just start praying that itll recover long enough for me to get the thing off fullscreen so i wont have to ctrl alt del #all bad things happening whenever i play or watch smth in fullscreen that i just have a slight trauma of it #so i never play a game or watch a vid on fullscreen at all even in this current pc #cuz ngl even if i had to put smth in fullscreen for a bit my heartrate just shoots up so much id be scrambling to get it windowed #tbf i think our old pc is alrdy gettin in on its years when it started getting problems but the absolute horror it gave me when #it bluescreened for the first time and it just kept going downhill will never leave my mind. #it was also the first time i saw a pc actually bluescreen. it aint even instant. there were glitchy colourful lines appearing #and i couldnt move my mouse. ctrl alt del didnt work either. the lines kept increasing. panicked so hard i called my sister #i dont remember what happened after. dunno if the pc blacked out entirely to show a bluescreen after or if it showed before blackin out #so anyway our old pc gave me some insane pc trauma that i still fear fullscreen to this day

i don't know if it's because i'm trans, or just that i've interacted with so many jewish stories, or what, but jewish culture and beliefs just resonate so hard with me. certainly a lot has to do with oppression, being a linking thread with a lot of minority groups, but i honestly feel like there's something more to it than just the similar persecution. i really respect and feel for jewish people and the way they live, the outlook and the way they find solace and joy. the way they share stories, pass on memories, just exist. i guess it's just how i also see and interact with the world in a way.

i was born russian orthodox but my family seriously never did anything with that, beyond just having some religious bits and bobs around the house that honestly we just had to look nice than anything. i was baptised but that never meant anything to me or my family or anyone we interacted with. i self-identified myself as atheist the moment i really figured out what that word entailed. i shyed away from really learning what religion honestly meant beyond my interactions with certain christian stories i was told about. i really didn't care for religion.

and yet, i always stop and listen when judaism is brought up. i like hearing about jewish holidays, what they entail and what it means to celebrate them. jewish culture is intriguing, i get captivated by it. i just hope that's not weird, i guess.

#post-it note #maybe i'll delete this later #jewish tag #ig i should make that? lol #i was re-watching jacob geller's golem and wolfenstein videos #idk what got to me but #the first time i watched them i was honestly kinda entranced #and honestly cried a few times #idk when i first interacted with jewish stuff but i def knew a few #when i was in like elementary school lmao #mostly dreidels and stuff lol i def had a few books about hanukkah #but the holocaust stories def. had an impact. #my middle school made me read Night over the summer and it left a fucking impression #and then i read maus in high school too which was even more a lot #maybe i should find and read them again #i might notice stuff i didn't before #a lot of my interaction with jewish stuff is in that lens tho #which is certainly important but like #judaism is certainly a lot more than just that event is it not? #i should probably look for more #i'd love to learn #long tags #i really need to sleep #it's my birthday and i'm rambling to myself essentially lmfao #and to the few jewish people who follow me #hey :) i hope this post wasn't. insensitive or anything #i genuinely wanna like. learn more i guess #you guys are cool and i wanna be more like you lmfao #<3
