However, the dialogue faded into the background behind the BGM. The audience complained about the issue, and Christopher Nolan has addressed it in an interview.

Christopher Nolan, during an interview with Insider, said, “I like to use the performance that was given in the moment rather than have the actor re-voice it later, which is an artistic choice that some people disagree with, and that’s their right.”
