SnoopyStyle Successful architect Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) is overjoyed when his wife Anna (Chandra West) reveals her pregnancy. Then she disappears. Jonathan confronts Raymond Price (Ian McNeice) who's been following him. Raymond who lost his son tells him about Electronic Voice Phenomenon and that he has received messages from Anna. Her body is found having drowned. Six months later, Jonathan moves into an apartment and strange electronic things continue. He becomes convinced about EVP. He goes to Raymond who is now helping Sarah Tate (Deborah Kara Unger) with her lost fiancé. As he obsessively decipher the electronic signals, he encounters menacing spirits and even those who are not dead quite yet.Michael Keaton is past his early successes and is yet to gain his resurgent accolades. It's a time period when he was a has-been doing limited work. If nothing else, this movie's success shows that he can still be the lead. I really like the cold static moody atmosphere. I don't think the son is necessary but it's where the story goes that leaves me a bit cold. The spirits are a disappointment. The near-death messages idea is where the movie goes down the wrong path. The moody ghost story turns into a muddled thriller. The spirits' climatic battle is a mess. This movie starts good but ends poorly.
atinder I don't think I saw this in full before, I loved the sequel, as is got no onnection to this movie, i thought sequel was really good.I decided to fully checked this out. I know it was not going to better then second movie, it was not bad movie at all. I found some part of really in trusting and some scene did drag a little to long, there was good jumpy momment. But i did not all those stranger effect with black shapes or what ever they are called, it kinda took all the creepiness away from the movie. The acting the movie was really good from the cast and some people may find some scenes a little moving. I think it worth watching movie, you don't need to see this movie to see the sequel. as both movies are stand alone.. I think White Noise 2 is a much better movie then this.
ivl2003 This is the Sound Of White Noise for experiments, such as in this film: http://turbobit.net/3yw2j2zutksg.html excellent quality. It is used by some emergency vehicle sirens due to its ability to cut through background noise, which makes it easier to locate. White noise is commonly used in the production of electronic music, usually either directly or as an input for a filter to create other types of noise signal. It is used extensively in audio synthesis, typically to recreate percussive instruments such as cymbals which have high noise content in their frequency domain. It is also used to generate impulse responses. To set up the equalization (EQ) for a concert or other performance in a venue, a short burst of white or pink noise is sent through the PA system and monitored from various points in the venue so that the engineer can tell if the acoustics of the building naturally boost or cut any frequencies. The engineer can then adjust the overall equalization to ensure a balanced mix.
culpep01 White Noise is a movie directed by Geoffrey Sax where an architect Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) loses his wife Anna Rivers (Chandra West) in a disastrous car accident. Because of this he turns to the dark, frightening world of electronic voice phenomenon (E.V.P.), communication to the dead. But as he begins to examine the mysteries of E.V.P., Jonathan makes an appalling discovery, once the gates to the otherworld is opened, there's no telling what will come through it. He learns this lesson the hard way despite the warnings he got from the many people he met in the movie. (Sax, 2005)I believe the theme of the movie White Noise is, "Don't mess with things you don't understand, no matter what the reason." Jonathan Rivers was so desperate to speak to his wife Anna again despite the warning he got from the psychic he met who told him to stop medaling. He decided ignored her and still did whatever it took to see his wife Anna again. He ended up staring at a fuzzy TV for hours and even ignoring his own kid, but in the end he ended up losing his own life and leaving his kid behind the person who needed him the most now without both parents. He just ended up getting consumed by EVP. (Sax, 2005) An instance where the director uses angles in the movie is at the very end where Jonathan is looking up at the ghost in the warehouse. I think the director Geoffrey Sax was trying to say the ghosts are more powerful than Jonathan and he is in over his head. Also the warehouse was dark which I believed was a representation of danger, meaning that Jonathan needed to stay away from the warehouse and leave things as they are. Living his life with a dead wife and paying more attention to his son. Another thing I believed the director did is connect the rain with the ghost and the static. It seemed like every time it rained someone was trying to speak to a ghost through EVP. (Sax, 2005) I think Michael Keaton did a great job of playing Jonathan River. He did a great job of making the movie seem believable. I believe if a person loss someone close to them and they knew of a way to communicate with them again they might try to talk to them despite warnings if the two people were really close. Love is very powerful and would make a person do things they normally wouldn't do.
