I want to say that I think Nichols is trying to say that you have to think more about what your watching then just the pictures themselves. It takes more to make a movie then just the camera rolling and catching pictures to get something for someone to watch. I would want to believe that directors what you to look at all the detail that they are putting into the scenes and sceneries for you to understand fully about what they want you to know about the plot of the story. If you were to catch everything that the director is trying to tell you then you will get a better understanding of what is happening in the film.

The director of the movie tries to show this by showing scenes where Thompson is talking with real people and when he looks over to address his friend, his friend is gone, and Thompson plays it off that he must have ran off to the bathroom, and most viewers generally believe it,
