The Poseidon remake has the best drowning scene in movie history. No contest. Kurt Russell actually allowed himself to reach the point where his body began inhaling water on reflex. Dude's got some balls.

There might be one in quantum too because the plot was about stealing water or something but thats not what I was thinking about. Vespa dies at the end of casino royale by drowning.

That one film where ISIS puts Assad loyalists in a cage underwater for 15 minutes. Pretty good acting from the guy who was still convulsing and throwing up despite being legally brain dead when they pulled the cage out of the water.
Isaiah Clark
The final scene in Europa is the GOAT drowning scene.
Tyler Myers
Without question the best sounding drowning scenes in cinema history. Literally surround sound cacophony of blood curling helpless gasps for air, especially after the first torpedo scene.

The Prestige is absolute drown-kino, but you have to actually watch the film from start to finish (rather than just looking up the scenes on youtube) to get the full effect of it.
Caleb Parker
>Without question the best sounding drowning scenes in cinema history.
I haven't seen Dunkirk but it cant beat Kurt Russell's drowning scene. Russell actually drowned for real. Whatever exaggerated sounds the actors put into their scene of Dunkirk, it doesn't beat Russell's scene because they were just acting. Russell wasn't acting. He literally drowned in his scene.
Robert Smith
Super patrician choice here! Von Trier's Europa is much underrated and sadly often forgotten.
Owen Barnes
Typically you need to watch the full movie to get the full effect of a scene rather than just watching the scene with no context.
Dominic Price
ALL IS LOST with Redford is also pretty great.

You are aware that that entire scene with Russell was dubbed afterwards right? Even if that exact sound in the film is the actual sound of Russell drowning doesn't mean it's the best sounding drowning scene just for the fact that it's real, what matters is how it was captured, edited and then mixed afterwards.
Dunkirk's sound mix is just superb, you have scenes of dozens of soldiers drowning all at once all portrayed throughout the entire spatial soundscape, it's almost like a full on nightmare scene when experienced with a proper setup. Goes to show how great sound can be far more impactful then just some gory visuals.
Caleb White
Generally true but even so. You can watch the showdown in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and it's still tense as hell even without context, you can watch the chest-burst scene of Alien and it's still horrifying and disgusting without context, the lobby scene in the Matrix, but in this case the context is just much more important.
Charles Russell
>You are aware that that entire scene with Russell was dubbed afterwards right?
Citation needed.
>Russell drowning doesn't mean it's the best sounding drowning scene just for the fact that it's real, what matters is how it was captured, edited and then mixed afterwards.
Wrong. All you need are clear shots of the victim's face as they drown. Music (especially from Zimmer) would only impair the disturbing nature of such a scene. Poseidon just has the ambient sound of the ship and water. There is no sound mixing to do. Just let us hear them drowning. Anything else is just ruining the scene.
>Goes to show how great sound can be far more impactful then just some gory visuals.
Sounds very Hollywood and overly produced, that's Nolan for you. Russell's scene is just a man drowning for real. No "I'M A FILMMAKER!" camera shots, no Zimmer music to remind you you're not watching people drown, you're watching a Hollywood production, just a man drowning in simple flat shots with no ambient sound other than the water.

Aiden Hall
>There is no sound mixing to do
I'm sorry man but you clearly don't know how films are even made to say a dumb statement like that. Literally every single sound you hear in a film has to be mixed, every single thing.
Almost 95% of sounds you hear in a film are made and recreated completely in post production, even the smallest things you can think of.
And what is most ironic about your post is that in that scene with Kurt Russel there is a soundtrack playing above all the sound, while in those drowning scenes I mentioned in Dunkirk there is no soundtrack whatsoever, just pure horror sound of dozens of suddenly disoriented soldiers gasping helplessly while the entire Destroyer creaks and sinks from the torpedo shot.
Xavier Jones

That does not mean Russell inhaling for water was added in in post production you autistic faggot. If Russell was going through the trouble to actually drown you can bet your ass they would bother to capture his actual drowning on audio. Use common sense and the most basic level of logic a film maker would use for such a scene.
>And what is most ironic about your post is that in that scene with Kurt Russel there is a soundtrack playing above all the sound,
The soundtrack is mimicking the pressure on your ears when under water. It's not violins screeching, it's ambient sounds you low IQ subhuman.
>Dunkirk there is no soundtrack whatsoever, just pure horror sound of dozens of suddenly disoriented soldiers gasping helplessly while the entire Destroyer creaks and sinks from the torpedo shot.
Yes, very Hollywood and over produced, how am I supposed to become immersed into something like that?

And maybe it sounded like shit, like most underwater first takes do? What then? Do you think it's only Kurt Russell in that water, not an entire crew along with the director probably yelling directions at him? Do you think all those sounds of switches and buttons he touches are actually heard when he was pressing them? All of that was made in post.
>The soundtrack is mimicking the pressure on your ears when under water.
You're now just pulling stuff out of your ass. First you say there is no soundtrack, now you say there is a soundtrack.
Look user, I am not saying that scene is bad in any way, I am only explaining to you how films are made. Google "foley" so you don't further embarass yourself in other threads.
And you pretending like the 2006 Poseidon is something above Hollywood or made in any other way is pretty damn ridiculous.
Jacob Bailey
So you are saying in the cell, drowning is a central plot point?

Drown kino.
Brody Cox
>And maybe it sounded like shit, like most underwater first takes do? What then? Do you think it's only Kurt Russell in that water, not an entire crew along with the director probably yelling directions at him?
Russell did the drowning scene more than once. When he's drowning yes, they'd all be fucking quiet so the divers can concentrate, waiting for the signal for when they should resuscitate him. They aren't gonna be yelling out "yeah, go get em russy!" as he's literally fucking drowning. There would be dead silence on set in such a sequence you stupid fuck. I cant believe you're actually envisioning the crew doing anything other than being dead silent and tensed up during such a dangerous moment.
>First you say there is no soundtrack, now you say there is a soundtrack.
Point is it's ambient sounds, it's not traditional music, you're not hearing a piano or a guitar, you're hearing sounds which you're likely to hear in such a situation.
>Look user, I am not saying that scene is bad in any way, I am only explaining to you how films are made. Google "foley" so you don't further embarass yourself in other threads.
Foley is common knowledge when it comes to movies. Did you just start your film studies and learned about sound mixing for the first time in your life, found it amazing so now you have to run around the internet waiting for the opportunity to lecture people on it who have known about it for years? Kill yourself. Your not as smart or knowledgeable as you think you are.
>And you pretending like the 2006 Poseidon is something above Hollywood or made in any other way is pretty damn ridiculous.
I never once implicated this, nice try strawmanning though, expect nothing more from someone of your IQ. The Poseidon remake is a forgettable big budget disaster movie, but that drowning scene was one of the most memorable movie scenes in movie history. The only scene which showed restraint, something Nolan is completely oblivious to.

Ambient music is thing you know?

Are you just baiting now? You literally have notes being played right as the clip starts and they get repetead throughout.
>Foley is common knowledge when it comes to movies
Yes I agree, but since you said such a retarded statement like "there is no sound mixing to do" one would think that you don't even know the most basic elements of filmmaking.
>but that drowning scene was one of the most memorable movie scenes in movie history.
I never said anything against that, I am simply stating that the sound mixing of that scene is not something special, even more when compared to Dunkirk's drowning scenes. That doesn't mean that Dunkirk scene's are necessarily more memorable, but they are without a doubt better sounding.
Also I like the 12 year old "kill yourself" buzzword you pepper throughout your posts, not embarassing at all.
Parker Clark
>Ambient music is thing you know? Are you just baiting now? You literally have notes being played right as the clip starts and they get repetead throughout.
None of it is overbearing or even noticeable. The only thing you take note of is the metal clanging of the ship, the swashing water.
>Yes I agree, but since you said such a retarded statement like "there is no sound mixing to do" one would think that you don't even know the most basic elements of filmmaking.
In the perfect drowning scene (e.g, Poseidon) you wont need sound mixing because all you need is the actor drowning. Something which has never been done since. See, your autistic warped brain interprets posts as "this person lacks understanding in filmmaking, here's a chance to flaunt what I just learned about in film studies". Improve your reading comprehension.
>That doesn't mean that Dunkirk scene's are necessarily more memorable, but they are without a doubt better sounding.
Yes, it's too Hollywood and over produced, nowhere near as effective.
>Also I like the 12 year old "kill yourself" buzzword you pepper throughout your posts, not embarassing at all.
Get back to regurgitating the latest exciting lecture you had in your film studies class, faggot.

Yes it's not overbearing but it's clearly noticeable when we are talking about it, it's put there for a reason.

Do you think the left and right panning of Kurt is all done just with recording him? Do you think the fact that you hear him touch the button in the right channel more is all done with a simple raw recording? EVERY film goes through sound mixing, even the crappy student shorts.
>Improve your reading comprehension.
I sure need some advanced reading comprehension to understand your opinion which changes with every post, first there is no soundtrack , then there is one, then sound mixing is not done at all, then it is etc.
You replied to me first where I simply stated that Dunkirk has one of the best sounding drowning scenes, not "the best drowning scene ever" or anything like that. Since then you failed to give a single argument why is the Kurt Russell drowning scene a better sounding drowning scene, you just talk about how "realistic" it is and that's it. This entire argument is just retarded even more for the simple fact that you didn't even see Dunkirk. Really sad individual.
Dylan Bell
>Do you think the left and right panning of Kurt is all done just with recording him? Do you think the fact that you hear him touch the button in the right channel more is all done with a simple raw recording? EVERY film goes through sound mixing, even the crappy student shorts.
Yes but when we get to the good stuff (e.g, him drowning) there's nothing they need to do, just him drowning.
>I sure need some advanced reading comprehension to understand your opinion which changes with every post, first there is no soundtrack , then there is one, then sound mixing is not done at all, then it is etc.
You're caught in your own autistic head canon. Pathetic. Snap back to reality, kiddo.
>Since then you failed to give a single argument why is the Kurt Russell drowning scene a better sounding drowning scene, you just talk about how "realistic" it is and that's it.
When you have someone really drowning you cant beat it. The fake sounds of actors trying to convince you they're drowning cant beat the actual drowning of a human being not acting.
Something actually happening > an actor trying to imitate this happening
Aaron Robinson
>Yes but when we get to the good stuff (e.g, him drowning) there's nothing they need to do, just him drowning.
You have to be baiting now. If nothing would be done, the entire sound of that scene would be completely in mono, you would hear a single flick of those switches and buttons and 90% of the sound would just be water commotion, nothing else. Every sound needs to be leveled, EQed, put spatially, panned etc, everything, it doesn't matter is it recorded on set or in post production.
>Something actually happening > an actor trying to imitate this happening
So are you saying liveleak videos have better sound then film with great sound mixes and sound design? Pretty sure there are more than enough of real drowning videos on the internet, do you think they sound better than films? You probably don't even hear the person drowning there.
This has to be baiting, no one is this much retarded. Here's my last (You), you can be the last reply if that satisfies your puny little mind.

The sound of him inhaling water and swashing water is all you need.

Strawmanning again, your IQ shines through once again.
>Pretty sure there are more than enough of real drowning videos on the internet, do you think they sound better than films?
Actually no, because you need specialized equipment to record underwater sounds effectively and no such footage of someone drowning with a close-up of their face exists other than Poseidon. Even ISIS were pussies with their drowning execution, only had the balls to show the aftermath. 99% of videos of drownings have the camera above water, so you cant see shit, the 1% that are underwater don't even have the subject in the frame.
>This has to be baiting, no one is this much retarded. Here's my last (You), you can be the last reply if that satisfies your puny little mind.
Yes, run with your tail between your legs, back to your film studies.

As someone who has had a similar experience with sea water, this is the most unsettling drowning scene I know from a movie. You have been warned.
William Butler
I watched this happen when on vacation in Spain. Although I've almost drowned before and inhaled a lot of chlorine water so I felt as if I had authority to not to try and save him.
