---Dakota Fanning---: This quote highlights the power of silence and unspoken communication in storytelling, especially in films. Often, what remains unsaid can be more impactful than dialogue, allowing viewers to read between the lines and feel the underlying emotions. Silent moments can evoke tension, vulnerability, or profound insights that words might fail to express. Appreciating these pauses enriches our understanding of characters and scenes, reminding us that sometimes, the absence of sound carries the most meaning.
