Showing the flowers with bees buzzing around (to simulate flies buzzing to the smell of dead bodies) after hearing the coughs was masterful, not to mention the pink flowers being used as a metaphor for blood splatters.
That cut to red and a droning music had me in deep, horrific of thought at what was happening. I swear, I never felt relieved to walk out the theater after the film was over, which is a compliment to the film's portrayal of the events.

*"On one side of the garden life, beauty, blooms, on the other side... the opposite is true".* Interesting analogy about how the mother and grandmother admire and care about the beauty of their flowers and greenhouse, expressing their love and interest in nature and preserving the life of their plants, while ironically on the other side of the garden the opposite is happening: death, pain, misfortune, tragedy and they are indifferent to it.
Can the flowers be considered beautiful at all? Flowers that do not have the space will not bloom so richly, and without the fertilizer, not nearly so often. What makes a flower beautiful? Is it the inherent aesthetic of its petal arrangement and colours, or does the quality of beauty come also from its context? Compare the vegetation here with the start of the film, where the scene is a nativist portrayal of a river valley. Weeds and trees cover every inch of space, cradling the family within that. Here, the "barren field" (implying non-productive plants) was turned into this garden. Fertilizer and constant attentive weeding is required to maintain it. For what? Not better productivity, but to better imply a sense of power and status, conferred by the beauty of the flowers. The excess life that could have been supported is destroyed in favour of these flowers. This sums up the sickness of lionizing "the good life" paradigm without paying attention to its input costs.
@@EarlofSedgewick not to mention, if you consider the fertilizer consists of ash from the crematoriums, what will they use when they have achieved their goal of eliminating every political opponent? or will it ever end?
@@AKoooooooo exactly!! That's why the inclusion of the party for high ranking Nazis and German socialites/industrialists was so salient, and unsettling, as well as the strong (blatant) suggestions of infidelity from both Hedwig and Höss. You could add the scene where the older brother imprisons the younger brother too - they're all indication of the hollowness at the heart of this ideology. Ever upwards, towards the abyss, standing on the heads of your enemies, and then your friends, and then your family. And for what purpose? There is no love which motivates this family by the end, no beauty or celebration. Always betrayal and blame, never acceptance and love.
@@chopstick3555 for a few seconds, a deep bass rumble creeps in. It's like the movie itself stops to scream into a pillow, before we abruptly cut back to the characters acting like everything's normal. I saw the film in a little arthouse theater that didn't have strong subwoofers so that moment was just pure silence, which was also unnerving, but not as effective.
When I saw this film for the first time it was on the big screen, and this scene remains the most chilling and unforgettable one among many -- the second most awful scene for me was Hoss reading the Hansel and Gretel tale about the ovens...But this one literally made my jaw drop and put my hands up to my face instinctively... It will never leave me
and this is why it justifiably just walked away with best sound at the oscars. absolutely horrifying. the woma(e?)n screaming followed by the few pops and then silence... jesus.
I wish this clip included the couple blasts of that foghorn-like sound after the screaming cuts out, then it suddenly just cuts right back to the monotony. That moment almost made me cry in the theater it was so overwhelming.
@@TheAndrewj96 Agreed. It cuts too soon. This combined with the ridiculously intense sub bass blast immediately after it was one of the most powerful moments in the film for me.
For those who are wondering the real meaning of those flowers : they are what remains from the victims. The nazis are using the ashes of the corps to feed the garden to grow the flowers. Meaning that... even if the movie never shows the shoa's victims directly... they are present in the image : they are now the beautiful flowers.
that is a pretty naive interpretation, they are showed to invert the notion of beauty, even the wife send the same flowers to the chief boss of her husband...this is not Schindler´s list, there is not a glimpse of hope or sentimentality...
@@glassjaw2007 I disagree. It's that person's intepretation. There is not one interpretation that is correct. There are many. I personally agree with their interpretation also because it's not one I thought of. True art has many meanings that we each find within.
My sis told me to pay attention to sounds, beacuse you can actually hear gunshots and people dying… with these i almost cry and got scared just by hearing it. How Could they live with those sounds? Some say they actually loved it Freaking pyschos
I wanted to see this at the cinema and now HBO MAX. The reason I did not watch this is because it was pg-13 and making a holocaust film that was rated this way was wrong. I just saw this clip of Zone of Interest I am floored.
I’ve seen people say it’s boring and nothing happens. Apart from the constant sound of death coming from the camp next to the house and the discussion of how to cause more death with such flippancy. Yeah nothing happens. Pack of clowns. Go watch the latest comic book, computer animated mess if you are easily bored. This is an incredible film that needs to be seen.
You later realize that their garden is fertilized by using the ashes from the crematorium. Genius film.
I didn’t realize that til now. That’s some War of the Worlds shit 😮 I can see why flowers were a huge symbolism in the film now.
What the hell
Both life and death
But question
and the Wife send the same flowers to the boss chief of her husband every time...
This film is not a horror movie, but it scared me more than any horror movie ever could.
Yes exactly omg
True horror is not jump scares or grotesque imagery it's things you can't comprehend
No greater horror in this world than humans.
@@MarinaAndTheDevilwell said tasteful queen
“Flower is supposed to represent beauty but it is being grown right next to death.”
That’s not a quote
Grown next to death and literally being grown from the wrongly deceased.
Damn
Showing the flowers with bees buzzing around (to simulate flies buzzing to the smell of dead bodies) after hearing the coughs was masterful, not to mention the pink flowers being used as a metaphor for blood splatters.
Just watched it. That sound design was incredible. It’s horrific when our mind paints its own image
This followed by the sudden cut back to normalcy made it feel like even the movie couldn't take what was happening anymore.
That's exactly what I thought, it's like the movie is a character observing itself. I've never seen anything like it.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I almost broke down in the theater when that happened. Such an overwhelming moment.
That cut to red and a droning music had me in deep, horrific of thought at what was happening. I swear, I never felt relieved to walk out the theater after the film was over, which is a compliment to the film's portrayal of the events.
I saw it like they were saying “you think we will give you a break? No, keep watching, keep listening.” So powerful
@@sebastiancervantesmartinez7298 To me it's more like, "Oh, I'm sorry, you thought this is the scene where we cut to credits? We're not even halfway, haha!"
Only this scene can give your answer that why this film wins the Oscar for Best Sound
It’s nominated for the major Oscars categories. However, it better win for “Best Sound Mixing”.
Glad to say that it won for Best Sound!
Best horrifying sound
IT DID! Wooooo! 🍾
IT DID!!!! WHOO HOO!!!
i’m really pleased it beat out Oppenheimer for best sound.
Realizing the 3 color fades in this movie are black, white and red. Pretty neat.
Note those are the colors of the Nazi flag.
I don't know if im overanalyzing, but those are the exact colors of the Nazi flag.
@@chopstick3555nope! You're right on the money
@@chopstick3555 yup exactly

Beautiful acceptance speech he made at the Oscar’s
Very well received.

The noise after this scene would guarantee its Best Sound Oscar in a just world.
Aaaaand it just did!
It beat Oppenheimer! Fantastic win!
What happened after this scene?

@@benoakman3069 Oh ok, thanks!
When the screen became fully red and the sound cut in right before switching to the next scene I got chills

i had the exact same experience
The imagery and sound just speaks for itself, still puts me off everytime I hear it.
The flies are like strings in this scene
the worst horrors are deep within your mind
and this is why it justifiably just walked away with best sound at the oscars. absolutely horrifying. the woma(e?)n screaming followed by the few pops and then silence... jesus.
what a nightmare. the way the scream cuts out…

不気味で怖かったけど探してこの動画にたどり着いた。
The way my headphones vibrated really added to the horror i felt watching it
The damage this little bit has done to my psyche.
THE BABY CLOTHES SCENE !! AND THE BLOOD ON HIS BOOTS REALLY BOTHERED ME !!
This was absolutely insane
Why’s freddy gibbs uploading this
times was hard in Gary Indiana mane...
Horrible to see
Worst to imagine.
Especially with these flower s footage.
Human horror has no limits.
In this movie, never in my life I wish I could speak german language so much..
those screaming, I wish I could knew the meaning of it
My sis told me to pay attention to sounds, beacuse you can actually hear gunshots and people dying… with these i almost cry and got scared just by hearing it. How Could they live with those sounds? Some say they actually loved it
Freaking pyschos
Maybe I don't really wanna know how your garden grows.

The imagination of the human mind can be disturbing
This scene was pretty much the whole movie. It was pretty effective though. It drove its horrifying point home.

Does this happen in the end
right at the halfway mark.
You’re not getting off that easy.
One of the best horrible sound effects ever made in the movie
