I do not think that any realism is beautiful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everything that's realistic has some sort of ugliness in it. Even a flower is ugly when it wilts, a bird when it seeks its prey, the ocean when it becomes violent.
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 don't believe in the deplorable notion of realism in the cinema: you can over-reach it, and it becomes as false as convention.
I only understand realism.
I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution.
Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite.
One of the things I strive for is realism. I need to be as real as possible in the dilemmas my characters face.
True realism consists in revealing the surprising things which habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
Realism isn't something most people associate with the fantasy genre, yet it's an essential element of great fantasy writing.
