“I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn’t know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life. Right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it’s also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real. Do you understand?”
This passage makes me think of a great little moment from the making of the READY PLAYER ONE movie: These lines summing up Halliday’s character weren’t in the script for the film. But Mark Rylance was reading the book on set and brought it over Steven Spielberg and told him “I really want to say these lines.” So Steven let him, and then I guess he thought they really worked, because—much to my surprise!—he decided to use them for the final movie.. Thank you, Mark! And thanks, Steven!
