Quote by Edward Zwick
Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.
Summary
This quote reflects on the emotional experience of watching movies. It suggests that sometimes, when we cry during a movie, we are not purely empathizing with the characters or the story, but rather projecting our own unfulfilled desires or regrets onto the screen. Additionally, it acknowledges that we may even watch movies as a way to escape or resist the emotions we may be feeling in our own lives. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the importance of catharsis, where the emotional release and resolution provided by a movie makes the overall experience meaningful and valuable.
