Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've kind of come to the conclusion that what passes for realism in movies has nothing to do with reality and that my stuff is more realistic than that.
I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution.
Realism is not a matter of any fidelity to an empirical reality, but of the discursive conventions by which and for which a sense of reality is constructed.
Realism isn't something most people associate with the fantasy genre, yet it's an essential element of great fantasy writing.
I don't believe in the deplorable notion of realism in the cinema: you can over-reach it, and it becomes as false as convention.
We need realism to deal with reality.
The real sustains the same relation to the ideal that a stone does to a statue - or that paint does to a painting. Realism degrades and impoverishes.
I only understand realism.
I do not think that any realism is beautiful.
One of the things I strive for is realism. I need to be as real as possible in the dilemmas my characters face.
