Quote by Chuck Palahniuk
Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
Summary
This quote suggests that minimalism in storytelling shares similarities with the sophisticated style of filmmaking. Due to the influence of movies, modern audiences have become highly intelligent and perceptive. As a result, they no longer require explicit explanations of the connection between scenes; they can decipher the narrative on their own. Minimalistic storytelling allows room for audience interpretation and encourages them to actively engage with the narrative, similar to how viewers analyze and comprehend movies.
