[eli5] Why is it so hard to hear the dialogue in a lot of movies and shows when everything else is so loud?

I’m constantly having to turn the volume up and down depending on the what the scene is. It’s not just me either. A lot of people I know have resorted to just turning on the closed captioning so they can hear what they’re saying. I don’t remember this being an issue before.

If you can believe it, I think some of those movies are intended to be like that because it is the director’s choice, I think it was Christopher Nolan who is famous for this. For some other movies, i think its because the sound is put in during post editing and that’s the best they can do.
