Understanding this quote
The quote separates the basic act of making a film from the much harder task of making one that is genuinely good. “War” presents that effort as a difficult struggle, while “miracle” makes a very good film seem exceptionally rare. The wording emphasizes how high the standard becomes at each stage.
