Opinion: Is 100% Realism in Film Impossible, or Does It Just Kill the Experience?

Christopher of Digital Hippos writes: "The vast movie-going audience today defines realism in film in a number of ways. Some will say to just watch an independent film, even though they are not all created equal. Mainstream films are usually fueled by some sort of formula or cliché that limits the amount of realism in it because reality is more open-ended and unique."
