Why does this movie have such a profound quote?

Imagine if Oppenheimer opened with this quote

[cooperross]

Let's also not forget, "Fear exists in the one place you can never escape: your mind."

[CryingPan]

this is the type of shit you see when you die in cod

Making weird, goofy, low-budget kids movies and then having them just randomly drop some of the rawest quotes in cinema is classic Robert Rodriguez.

[WriterKing]

You know it’s scary how RIGHT this guy is. We as humans are capable of such good, yet we’re equally capable of horrifying evil.

[Mr.Protagonist]

A war is not about who is right, it is about who is left.

[publiusventidiusbassus]

This and the God quote from Spy Kids 2 makes me wonder what kind of out of pocket shit Robert Rodriguez randomly blurts out to his kids at breakfast.

[blarghinatelazer]

There's this, the Spy Kids 2 quote, and the fact that the climax for Spy Kids 3 is a disabled old man describing everything he's missed in life because of his paralysis, which was caused by said friend

"Winning isn't everything. It's just the only thing that matters."
-Robin, Teen Titans

[HeWhoPwnsNoobs]

Man, MODOK had some really interesting quotes.

[Real_Iron_Smith]

Unironically, and I mean this, Robert Rodriguez movies, amidst the silliness and over the top insanity, has a shocking amount of absolutely raw lines that catch you off guard. I mean, Steve Buschemi in Spy Kids 2, another Robert Rodriguez movie, is a great example.

like how ULTRAKILL, a jokey FPS game where you play as a robot and name things Hank, has the quote “A MACHINE BUILT TO END WAR IS ALWAYS A MACHINE BUILT TO CONTINUE WAR.” it’s one of my Roman Empires.

“For every person who dreams up the electric lightbulb, there’s the one who dreams up the atom bomb”
-Mr. Electric from Sharkboy and Lavagirl

[dukedukeson]

My favourite randomly profound quote is
"Do you think god stays in heaven because he fears what he created", its such a good quote and I hate the fact that it's from a Spy kids movie

[tylerchristensen]

I was forced to watch a 15-second ad for a 7-second video.

[byronius]

When he said this in Oppenheimer, the whole theater cheered.

[mario_gabriel]

I think some of the writing in this film is actually really good for this movie, for example: they were pushing the message of "some dreams are so powerful that they become real" but disguising it as just being strong like sharkboy or lavagirl or mr electric, "they were so strong that they became real", but they were just telling you that if your dreams are powerful enough, and you work on them they will become real, just like Max's robot at the end of the film.

[jellybloop]

imagine putting this in a guess the movie by the quote

[nobodytheowl]

Honestly this movie has a lot of really good quotes and lines. I swear they put all the budget in the dialogue.
Edit: Apparently I've struck some sort of personal chord with people, about how budget doesn't equal quality.

I cried when this guy made a cameo at the end of Oppenheimer and recited this exact quote on screen. Pure cinema
