Quote by Elia Kazan
Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.
Summary
This quote draws a parallel between stylized acting and direction, and poetry, as well as between realistic acting and direction and prose. It suggests that stylized acting and direction rely on artistic flourishes and a heightened theatricality, much like poetry uses metaphors and imagery to convey its message. Conversely, realistic acting and direction mirror everyday life more closely, like prose which typically presents ideas in a straightforward and naturalistic manner. This comparison highlights the different artistic approaches and techniques used in creating theatrical performances and written literature.
