About this Quote

In this quote, actress Louise Brooks highlights the real essence of filmmaking. She argues that the appeal of films lies not in the physical motions of the stars, however in the representation of their inner thoughts and emotions. According to Brooks, the most powerful and impactful movies are those that are able to convey the depth of a character's soul through a sense of seclusion. This suggests that the true art of filmmaking is not in the flashy visuals or action sequences, but in the capability to capture and communicate the complexities of the human mind and spirit. Brooks' words work as a suggestion that the true power of cinema depends on its ability to touch the hearts and minds of its audience.
