"It is very easy to make clear what you want a film to say, but I did not wish to engage in overt propaganda, even for the right cause. I wanted to create an experience through the films, something where people could have the freedom of their own response to them"

Godfrey Reggio's quote talks to the power of art to create an experience for the audience. He is recommending that instead of using movie as a device for overt propaganda, he wished to create something that would allow audiences to have their very own response to the film. He intended to produce an experience that would enable individuals to think on their own and also involve their very own final thoughts. This quote talks with the power of art to produce an experience that can be interpreted differently by different people. Reggio's quote also speaks to the value of allowing people to have their very own opinion as well as to believe for themselves. He wanted to produce a film that would allow individuals to have their own feedback to it, without being influenced by obvious publicity. This quote speaks with the power of art to create an experience that can be analyzed differently by various individuals, as well as to the significance of enabling people to have their very own opinion and also to believe for themselves.
