"Even in the realest American cinema that I see, there's still not that sense that this is reality. There's still that sense that you are watching a movie. And hopefully, if we did get our jobs right, that sense disappears when you watch this movie"

In this quote, Joshua Leonard is going over the lack of authenticity in American movie theater. He thinks that even in the most practical movies, there is still a sense that the viewer is enjoying a movie rather than experiencing reality. Nevertheless, he hopes that in his own work, this sense will vanish and the audience will be fully immersed in the story. This highlights the importance of creating a believable and immersive experience for the audience, where they can forget they are seeing a film and seem like they are part of the story. It also talks to the power of film to transport viewers into different worlds and experiences.
