The Zone Of Interest: Why The SOUND Will Frighten You

  • I review, breakdown and explain The Zone Of Interest. I discuss the 2024 film which is focussed on Auschwitz and the horror that was in the sound, the soundtrack and the terror that it emitted. I react to the background score, it's link to the behaviour of Rudolf and Hedwig, and the decision to focus on the audio over the visual effects.

    It was so genius how they displayed the horror of the camps without being gratuitously violent. And it stayed with me more than other movies about this subject. The gunshots, screaming, the train, the hum of the incinerator were easy for the family to ignore, but it is impossible for the audience to forget. Brilliantly done.

      Exactly, not showing the violence happening but keeping it as the background is what made it even more horrifying. Plus the apparent sounds of the furnace. I also feel the opening scene with the almost total darkness was meant to be the inside of a gas chamber before or during incineration.

    • @hanscombe72

      I saw review by someone who said these men weren’t thinking. They were just doing. Everything was about action and results. I was long interested in the effect of men in the einsatzgruppe squads and the effect of mass killing on these men. Alcoholism, nervous collapse, suicide. Nothing can justify what these men did but they aren’t robots.

    • @alecjones4676
      @alecjones4676 4 місяці тому +7

      Having read extensively about the Holocaust in the years since Nuremberg and the Eichmann trial, I have come to disagree with Arendt's original assessment, or more precisely I think it's an incomplete picture.
      These men understood exactly what they were doing, and absolutely possessed the agency to put a stop to it. Men like Schindler and Hosenfeld and Rommel and probably many others are evidence enough of that. They had become so desensitized to the humanity of their victims that they simply stopped caring about the evil of what they were doing. Men like Eichmann instead rechanneled their conception of virtues towards things like "industriousness" and "loyalty" and "respect for authority," instead of "compassion."
      They were also so self-deluded that they thought Germany was at the precipice of victory against the Soviets, and so believed that their crimes would ultimately never be prosecuted.

    • @garrybye4415
      @garrybye4415 4 місяці тому +1

      I agree that these people knew what they were doing, but I’m not sure they had the agency to stop anything. There were plenty of people that spoke out against the regime, and most of those people were strung up in local town squares or sent to camps (and possibly their families too). Most people were far too scared to do anything or simply indifferent and preferred to turn a blind eye; to act took incredible bravery. I think people like these were attracted to these roles either for ideological reasons and/or professional ambition; or they were plain evil.

    • @howarddruan9393
      @howarddruan9393 13 днів тому

      The banality of evil, as I understand it, refers not so much to the direct perpetrators of the Holocaust, but to the larger German populace at the time, who accepted and went along with whatever the Nazis were doing, with few exceptions. It's analogous to what happens in every society confronted with the horrors of war that their government is trying to sanitize and sell. Think of the horrors of what is happening in Gaza, or parts of Ukraine, and how these wars are accepted by the American and Russian people.

    It has leftnme wanting to know more about what happened to the family after the war. I knew about Rudolf Höss's fate, of course, but when you start to dig into the others' lives, and it is also chilling (so far I have only found info anout the wife, one of the daughters and the youngest son - and his own son.) I also needed to try and understand the many symbolism present in the film which eluded me (the negative shots for one)

    Rudolf is a man who loves with his family. He dosent love his job in fact he finds it aggravating and annoying, working long hours just wanting to come home to his loving wife who cooks him dinner and his children who gift him with presents and birthday dinners. His house is located near a lake where he has picnics. His wife is and that he has to leave and go somewhere else on business. Their garden is the dream garden any housewife could ask for. Their servants heed their word and give them anything they choose. Swimming pools and cocktail party’s fill their days…. Oh yeah and they also happen to live right next door to one of the most closest depictions of human hell ever created on earth. A Nazi death camp which main goal is to exterminate thousands and thousands of people where her husband works. Children screaming and crying don’t disturb but add Audio joy to Hedwig and her house. The sound of bugs and and crickets at night in our normal suburban town are substituted for screaming gunshots and crying. Sorry to be so graphic but the film wants to put u in that mindset . Is it pleasant? No. But not every film should be.

    This is really an old idea, but still a good one. The violence that takes place in those ancient Greek plays is talked about by the actors but never shown. I internalized the violence more that way. For example, while watching a performance of "Medea" by Euripides, I was not shown Medea murdering her children, but hearing actors mention this event affected me probably more deeply than if I had been shown it via special effects and camera tricks. It forced me to think about what she did. By way of contrast, on the Roman stage, the violence was literally performed, assuming our historians are accurate. Hemingway talked about his "iceberg approach" where 7/8ths of the story is perceived but never explicitly written about. Voltaire said that the easiest way to bore the reader is to try to tell the reader everything. In the art of painting, one thing that makes Michelangelo's figures so interesting is the overlapping. For example, in his Last Judgement, frequently a hand or some other body part covers the view of another body part. Mentally, we know that "missing" body part is there but it cannot be seen because it is not shown. Ironically, this makes the unseen body part more visible in a sense. It engages the mind to fill in the gaps. This is the reason the children's game "hide and go seek" has been played for generations. The logic behind "strip tease dancing" is similar.

    Don’t forget the music in this film: the overture prepares our ears for what is to come, and a stentorian theme, like Tibetan Buddhist ritual, blasts in at certain key moment. This music is a character in the story, like the ‘voice of god’.
    Another take from me was in later scenes, you see Hoss in meetings and social events in Berlin - there’s lots of conversation and background hubbub, and you can’t help scan this sound for horrors . . . .
    Another Brit director with a talent for sound is Peter Strickland. ‘Bait’ and ‘Enys Men’ both have unique sound-worlds. All owe a great debt to David Lynch, Francis Coppola, Jean-Luc Godard and Stanley Kubrick for their pioneering focus on sound in the medium.

    The archival footage of Hitler smiling at children at his mountain retreat is hard to watch. Many of those children were poisoned by their parents as the net closed in 1945 but at least it was over quickly for them. Millions suffered and died while others were orphaned by men who didn't even see the front lines in WWII.

    The sounds were more imporant than the dialogue. This film was very very very hard to hear. It was horrific to watch the children playing with human teeth. The few views of Auswitz showed smoke, orange light and the sight of the striped pajamas. The reverse B&W photos of the girl hiding fruit for the workers was haunting. But the sound was definitely the driving force throughout the film.

    The background noise -- constant rumble -- could not have been accurate. Auschwitz I was not an execution camp (although many thousands lost their lives there). Instead, the camp served as a transit camp for prisoners and slave laborers. It did have a single crematorium in the center of the camp to dispose of bodies but was used sparingly. The execution camp, Auschwitz II - Birkenau, was over two miles away and could not have been seen.
    Most likely the noises from over the wall were the sounds of prisoners and guards, sometimes shots, trains, and motorized vehicles from the road next to the house. But I understand the necessity of the noise in the film, although probably not very accurate.
    I highly recommend reading Rudolf Hoss' memoir of his time as camp commandant. He wrote it in prison while awaiting his execution. It sets the stage for this movie and provides a much deeper understanding of the reality of life from the other side.

    Little if anything has been made of the similarity between the zone of interest and the Peace festival--both walled off from the horror happening on the other side. WHEN the Peace festival is discussed , people say--how dare they do something so terrible to such peace-loving people at a peace festival , rather than expose the fact that it shares a wall with people who are living a horrible life and not for 5 years as with the Jews but for 75 years, not to mention the years that preceded when the Jews came to that land and started killing the Palestinians and taking their homes. Not only is this NOT mentioned by the public who knew of this film but it was NEVER mentioned really at the academy, just the term Gaza was mentioned a couple times by the producer Mr James Wilson but with NO emotion or outrage and NO emotion ever in the audience who's enjoying their la de la life while babies are being shot and children are being killed and maimed and women killed day after day after day.
    I'm noTt impressed with this film and I'm definitely NOT impressed with HOW it was presented and received at the academy with NO recognition given that we're actually living this now. THIS is NOT history. WE are living this now and we are forced to live behind a wall even though unlike the Germans including the good Germans we are protesting; we are fighting; people are self-immolating and this speaker at the academy acts like no one's doing anything. He is doing NOTHING & the academy did NOTHING but people are doing whatever they can to protest the horror of the Zionist Jews massacring an entire people.

    @doclindenbrook 4 місяці тому +1

    Yes, very interesting film, outstanding use of sound - but that said, many films have excellent sound, to be fair. Remember also, that what is over the wall, which we do not see, is what the writers of history told us it was, not the actual reality. And there has been a lot of claims, some with definite evidence, that some parts of the story are not as they have been told, or at least open to further investigation. The attraction itself, has over the years lowered the amount of occupants liquidated from 4.5 million, to around 1 million or less today. That is a huge reduction. Most likely, the family would have thought over the fence was basically a "work camp", period. They would not be aware of what we believe today, whether it be truth, or a type of truth based on revision or exaggeration to create a type of secular religion of Jewish identity. You see, this film is psychological programming of a sort, we bring our modern propagandized knowledge of history, back to an artificial historical lab, played by actors who represent real people, and then we use our minds to fill in the missing parts of the story. I think this films stands as a testimony to how central secular Jewish individuals have created a sense of identity from this place, they wallow in it, and how it is constantly used by Israel to endorse and support their actions, no matter how terrible and inhumane.

    • @paulaharrisbaca4851

      I tend to agree with you. In a way its similar to slavery of a century and a half or more ago as a reason to exploit today's taxpayers and voters and black Americans themselves and produce nothing but harm to society by constantly picking at a well-healed scar and reopening it again and again and people begin imagining their "own reality" of what slavery was instead of the reality, which was something in between. There are people who milk the victim mentality over and over, to the point that Obama was literally telling the families of the 5 police officers who were assassinated while sitting in their patrol cars were essentially to blame for their own deaths because of their white racist anti-black attitudes, when one of the cops was Asian and another was black or Latino, I think. That is still disturbing. The Holocaust was almost a sacrifice in order to give Jewish people a homeland. It was horrible whether the numbers were 10 million, 6 million, or 1 million. I could go on and on about these things, but it gets dull.

    You neglect to mention the nearly constant, very low-pitched, industrial HUMMING noise emanating from the camp. Whether this is intended to represent, for instance, an actual noise from the electrified fences, or whether it is included as part of the abstract music-and-effects score is not important because either way the effect is the same: It emphasizes the nightmarish quality of everything that is just below the surface of apparent tranquility.
