About this Quote

This quote by Edward Norton speaks to the power of film as a medium for provoking idea and conversation. He believes that a film must not offer simple answers, but instead should make the viewer think and ask questions. This is due to the fact that the responses to life's questions are often complicated and nuanced, and a film needs to not oversimplify them. Instead, a film ought to provide a platform for audiences to explore their own ideas and feelings on the subject matter. By making viewers ask questions, a film can help them to acquire a deeper understanding of the concerns at hand. Ultimately, this quote speaks with the power of movie to engage audiences in meaningful discussion and to assist them to believe more deeply about the world around them.
