“We’re in an age where the climax of a film tends to be thought of in terms of a certain action set piece, or a fight or something like that.”
— Christopher Nolan

Simplified Meaning:
Movies today often focus on big action scenes when they are building up to the most exciting part of the story. Instead of having the most important moment be about the characters and their emotions, many movies now have it centered around a big fight or impressive stunt. Think about superhero movies where the story's highlight is usually a huge battle. This can be thrilling to watch but sometimes overshadows the deeper emotional moments that might make the story more meaningful. If we only look forward to the action, we might miss the more subtle but important parts of the story. To fully enjoy movies, it's good to pay attention to both the big action scenes and the quieter moments that develop the characters and their journeys.
