p.4
Despite the title of the dissertation, "We will not be discussing realism and sound in Saving Private Ryan." The reason given is that SPR does not make use of Chion's acoustic discomfort to heighten sense of realism -- SPR's sounds are crisp and detailed hence has no sense of realism. (???) Expands Chion's argument that verisimilitude (belief that sound is real) is more worthy than authenticity. Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard |
