What are some realistic movies? Any overly dramatic dialogue or situations that would never happen in real life make me roll my eyes/cringe.

please tell me people dont actually believe that humans act this way
as real as it gets
>its a tv show
the birth of a nation by griffith
Actual serious answer: Festen.
And when the overly dramatic dialogue or situations actually happen in real life you probably just cringe then too. See: autism
Why not just get approval from a local business to set up cameras in their office, record for 30 days, and then watch that for the rest of the year?
The Brothers Grimsby was fantastically realistic
the only overly dramatic/borderline unbelievable part was at the end of the scene in the police station
what are you in the mood for? I can't give you a ton of recs because I haven't seen that many movies but here are some "realistic" films I like:
>Leviathan (2014), [drama]
"In a Russian coastal town, Kolya is forced to fight the corrupt mayor when he is told that his house will be demolished. He recruits a lawyer friend to help, but the man’s arrival brings further misfortune for Kolya and his family."
>Weekend (2011) [romantic drama]
"A (sort of) love story between two guys over a cold weekend in October." If the gayness doesn't turn you away it's a pretty good and kind of bittersweet story about finding really intense connections with someone you barely know.
>Gummo (1997) [dystopian art]
"Solomon and Tummler are two teenagers killing time in Xenia, Ohio, a small town that has never recovered from the tornado that ravaged the community in the 1970s." Realistic to the point that it's almost uncomfortable. Some of it is just footage of regular lower-class Americans.
>Oslo, August 31st (2011) [drama]
"Anders is a recovering drug addict in an Oslo rehab clinic. On the 30th August, he is given a day’s leave to attend a job interview in the city centre." Pretty grounded and a decent depiction of how even educated and sociable people can be fundamentally lonely individuals.
>Two Days, One Night (2014) [drama]
"Sandra is a young woman who has only one weekend to convince her colleagues they must give up their bonuses in order for her to keep her job — not an easy task in this economy."
>Half Nelson (2006) [drama]
"The story concerns an inner city middle-school teacher who forms a friendship with one of his students after she discovers that he has a drug habit." bonus points for The Goose.
that's all I can think of for now, I'm sure there are some good ones I've missed.
>parents walk in
Planet of the Apes
Brutally earnest movie about men of violence. Artful perspective on a world completely barren of poetry.

Still Alice
Love Gummo.
Also like things that are horrifying in a very real way, like Threads is one of my favs.
Anything by Andrea Arnold
>Fish Tank
>Milk
>American Honey
Maybe I'm taking your post too literally but Unforgiven has a really well-written script and it has to be described as very poetic. It's filled with metaphors and symbolism. I mean even the characters' names are symbolic
Lilya 4-ever
>Artful perspective
The film itself is artfully made.
>on a world completely barren of poetry
Dealing with cold, stark reality.
What the fuck, is this really in a movie?
Looking at what I've got:
Don Jon
The Informant!
The King's Speech
Our Idiot Brother
SLC Punk!
holy fucking hell that webm
>men of violence
Assigning a title like that to murderers is pretty poetic, as is Eastwood's role in the film. He still gets to kill the biggest scumbag and all his worst deeds happen before the story begins.
Most of the movie was pretty cringe, but I was honestly rolling during that scene. Everything else was forgettable, but that will stick with me for a long time.
>i've never been clinically depressed
You're probably right about that, but I say "men of violence" because it covers killing on a larger scale than just straight-up cold murder. I think it's more about stripping the romanticism away from the act of killing in general.
>all his worst deeds happen before the story begins
Then he murders a bunch of people and rides off to continue living the rest of his life peacefully. It all works out of him, but it by storybook rules it shouldn't.

Find me one user in Sup Forums that can stomach Lav Diaz and I show you kino.

This. Absolutely nothing extraordinary happens in his movies. Always comfy shit.
I watched Our Idiot Brother on cable one time just for shits and giggles because I expected nothing then realized that's me other than being retarded selling drugs to a uniform cop and the whole cuck situation where he's nice to the guy he's getting cucked by.
the Dardennes in general
i didnt get sad off this movie cause it was normie feelings i couldnt relate to
...
...
Realest shit I ever saw.
Please post more. I love pic related and Oslo August 31
Real shit.
Dude what. Tom Green didn't prepare me for this
i hated this movie so much
me too it really hurt my feelings.
.
what
good recs.
Oslo made me tear up. Fucking great movie.
Fucken funny film. Don't trust the reviews
>He still gets to kill the biggest scumbag
He did not kill the guy who cut the whore's tits
Or do you actually think Little Bill was in the wrong!?
He would have been shot instantly for pulling a cop's gun.
>I mean even the characters' names are symbolic
Please explain me that. Not being ironic, just want to know it so I can like the film even more
More like The Brothers Shitsby
not in a small town where everyone knows him and his situation. It's common for police to know your first name and let you sit in the front when they arrest you in those small towns.
william munny
munny sounds like money
william munny kills to get money
4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days
Blue is the Warmest Colour.
I honestly think its one of the best of the decade.
Love this one !!!
nice pick, i like husbands better though.
cassavetes doesn't have a single weak film, the weakest i can think of is shadows, but that's because the only existing cut is a butchered version of the original (also excluding his last credited film, which really isn't even his work)
Wat? No munny? Hier, serk a kok
if you had ever lost a kid, especially a kid old enough to have developed a personality and habits and interests etc, you'd know
your immediate reaction is that you can't go on. whats the point? all of the happiness in your life, everything you worked towards, the future you thought you were going to live, all the times you read your kid bedtime stories til they fell asleep, everything you ever taught them and hoped to teach them, gone in an instant
either someone talks you out of it, you never get an opportunity that feels like it'll work until you heal enough to eventually go on broken and depressed, or you kill yourself
there was nothing at all unrealistic about that scene
Cool pick !!! What do you think of this, then ???
My aunt's adult son was murdered a couple years ago and I can't even imagine how someone moves on from that...
this
haven't seen it yet, been meaning to, especially since i've heard tons of good things about it
check out alverson's the comedy if you haven't. a lot of indie directors have been trying to emulate the realist style cassavetes had been doing and have mostly failed at it (safdie brothers) or used it for some sort of political message (look at all the realist films coming out that have to do with race) the comedy is one of the few films that i think cassavetes would have liked had he still been around.
you dont. you can never move on. you spend the rest of your life surviving and constantly being aware that your life and existence is forever gravely diminished. nothing will ever be as enjoyable as it used to be. the happiest moment of your life has already happened and nothing that comes after will ever come close to what you used to feel
no matter how you try to figure out how to move on, even if you figure out something that'll allow you to exist, it comes with the unforgettable condition that something huge, most of what defines you as a person - your proudest and greatest achievement in life, the thing you love more than anyone and everything, is missing and always will be
thats why the suicide attempt happens. because you can't see anything but the irreversible loss for a very long time
this dick
fuck i'm gonna print this out and put it on my wall so I can look at it whenever I start toeing the edge again. I don't like my parents at all but killing someone's kid is the shittiest thing you can do to them. even if the kid's me lol. not doing that to a person.
it's a, why are we here? what is our purpose? what is human consciousness? meaning of life, kind of feel
...
underrated
ay, yo, ain't you ever seen that one movie kids? no but i seen the porno with s..sd.asd.
>Any overly dramatic dialogue or situations that would never happen in real life
Do you live in a cave all alone?
Can somebody give me a rundown on the depression Casey has in the movie?
I'm looking for more depression kino
Calvary.
what the fuck
This whole movie made me laugh so hard, absolute masterpiece thank you based Sacha
Possessed (1981) has some pretty raw dialogue.
Yeah but it's a horror and I'd definitely consider it dramatic.
Battle of Algiers is probably the best war film ever made.

Ah. The slow cinema. What's the consensus of Sup Forums about it?
