“To me, fantasy should be as real as possible. I don’t buy into the notion that because it’s fantastic, it should be unrealistic”
— Peter Jackson

Simplified Meaning:
The quote is saying that stories that have fantasy elements—like magic or dragons—should still feel believable and genuine. Think about the Harry Potter series. Even though the world is full of magic, the characters act and feel like real people. They have friendships, face struggles, and show emotions that we can relate to. This makes the story more engaging because even though it's a fantasy, it feels true to life. Applying this idea, when creating or enjoying fantasy, look for elements that are grounded in real human experiences. This connection helps us to connect more deeply with the story.
