A Study on the Authenticity, Symbolism and Radical Style of Sound Narration in Nolan's Films

Nolan's films have a distinct personal style in the handling of sound. His treatment of human voices, background music, and decorative sound effects all have a certain degree of unconventional characteristics. In response to this phenomenon, this article analyzes Nolan's artistic exploration of the sound medium from the perspectives of sound ontology, media narratology, and symbolism. This article attempts to connect the technical principles and aesthetic tendencies in Nolan's films through multidisciplinary approaches such as physical acoustics, electronic engineering, aesthetics, and phenomenology of the spirit, to interpret how he uses sound to express the experiential world, represent emotional values, and construct spatiotemporal cognitive views, and then to explain the avant-garde and modern nature of the aesthetic features of his film sound.
