I pulled out my old DVD copy of DUNKIRK from the 1950s last night. It has women, French, Englishmen, Richard Attenborough and John Mills in it. Sorry, no minorities.
You can hear them talk! The sound effects do not swamp the movie. There is actually a story line!

I noticed a years ago that modern movies are swamped by LOUD sound effects and LOUD music, and I can’t hear the dialog. It is so bad I have to use the Closed Captions. Unfortunately, the white captioning does not show up well against lighter scenes and they do not keep the captions on screen long enough to read it.

Yes, and there are no closed captions in the movie theatre!

Agree. And if the movie you are watching isn't loud, you can hear the excessively loud sound effects from the adjoining theatre.
