Quote by Michael Haneke

Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that's ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience.

Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I thin

Summary

This quote suggests that films which provide straightforward and simplistic answers to complex questions are ultimately cynical, as they do not allow the audience to engage in critical thinking and reflection. By offering more nuanced and open-ended conclusions, films offer a richer experience because they encourage viewers to contemplate different perspectives and explore multiple potential answers. This approach respects the audience's intellect and offers them room to construct their own interpretations, making the film-viewing experience more profound and thought-provoking.
