W hat is realism in film? We hear the term “realistic” all the time, but how do we know if something is realistic when realism is so subjective? Well, in storytelling, there is an objective way to tell whether or not something is realistic. We’re going to explore what realism is and how it’s used in film, with examples from Pather Panchali , the Before Trilogy , and more, but first let’s review where realism began. AESTHETIC REALISM IN FILM DEFINITION What is realism in film? Realism in film is a cinema subcategory that many refer to as “slice of life.” Cinematic realism is rooted in the tenets of the realism arts movement, as well as philosophical realism. We can infer whether or not a film is “realistic” based on objective truths, like if it has unsensational happenings, or contained narratives. Realism is used in film to create intimate stories that connect the audience in some sort of introspective way. Definition of Realism in Film Realism is a reflection In simplest terms, realism is a reflection of the world around us. Some artists and philosophers don’t believe that there is an objective “reality.” But for the sake of focus, let’s say there is a reality, and that the words you’re reading are words that I’ve written. They’re real, you’re real, I’m real — as Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.” Okay, we’re on the same page. Realism began as an arts movement in the 19th century. That’s not to say that there wasn’t realistic art before the 19th century though — q...

Realism and As suggested by the prevalence in philosophical discussion of composite labels such as scientific realism, Reductionism, error theories, and projectivism If fulfillment of both of the conditions stated above is taken to be necessary for realism, In each of these cases, as already noted in relation to traditional epistemology: Realism First, antirealists may agree with realists about the kind of meaning possessed by statements belonging to the problematic discourse—in particular, about the conditions required for their truth—but decline to accept that those conditions are ever met. If antirealists go so far as to deny that the requisite conditions are ever met, their position amounts to an “error theory,” according to which statements of the problematic kind are systematically false. If the claim is, rather, that one can never be justified in taking such statements to be true, the resultant antirealism is better described as a form of agnosticism. Second, antirealists may claim that the surface projectivism,” according to which, in making such statements, one is not seeking to correctly describe features of a mind-independent world but is merely projecting one’s own responses and attitudes onto it. Such nonreductive forms of antirealism have been opposed to both moral realism and scientific realism and have been defended in several other areas besides. The nominalism of Hartry Field involves an error-theoretic treatment of pure mathematical discourse, as may oth...
