“I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that”

Simplified Meaning:

People are complex and have many different abilities and feelings, but movies often don't show this. In real life, individuals can be brave, sad, happy, and angry, sometimes all in one day. But in movies, characters often seem simpler and less interesting. For example, a hero in a movie might always be strong and fearless, but in reality, even the bravest people have doubts and fears sometimes. Imagine a friend who is usually very kind but sometimes gets angry or upset. This friend is more real and relatable because they show a range of emotions. Movies often miss this complexity, making characters seem more one-dimensional and less like real people. By understanding this, we can appreciate the true diversity and depth in ourselves and others, and not expect real life to be as simple as what we see in films. This awareness helps us connect better with people and understand that everyone has a lot more going on than what appears on the surface.
