“Every film should have its own world, a logic and feel to it that expands beyond the exact image that the audience is seeing”
— Christopher Nolan
Simplified Meaning:
Movies should transport you into their own unique setting, making you feel like you’re part of that world. Imagine watching "Harry Potter." It’s not just about what you see on the screen, like the castle or the magic spells. There’s a whole atmosphere and set of rules that make everything believable and consistent, from how the wizards talk to each other to the places they go. This creates a richer experience, making the story more immersive and engaging. Filmmakers should create this deeper layer so that viewers aren’t just seeing a picture but also feeling the culture, behaviors, and unseen possibilities of the movie’s world. This way, the movie leaves a lasting impact and feels more real and relatable.
