In the end, people don't view their life as merely the average of all its moments-which, after all, is mostly nothing much plus some sleep. For human beings, life is meaningful because it is a story. A story has a sense of a whole, and its arc is determined by the significant moments, the ones where something happens.

A seemingly difficult life may be devoted to a great cause. We have purposes larger than ourselves.

The thing I come back to over and over again is that for most people who are not analyzing it from a critical point of view, most iconic film moments are actor moments.
