When I finished watching the film, I said, 'Hey, that's what I have to do.' Haneke gave me this solution.

  • Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass...ourselves. And this is but progress.

They don't see the big picture.
