Realistic dialogue should show the truth behind a conversation or a characters true motive without directly stating it. In realistic conversation, people may also talk over each other or miscommunicate, which is also shown in realistic dialogue. For example, in a conversation between a father and son who are disagreeing with each other, they may talk over each other about their own personal issues without directly telling the other that they feel invalidated by the other’s response. Instead, they’ll keep continuing on with their own explanation over one another to get the other’s attention. Without explicitly stating this, the conversation shows the truth behind their conversation; They don’t really care too much for the other to understand the story, they want to be understood/validated by the other. I think realistic dialogue in films are great because they immerse you into the reality of the film. I also think it depends on the style /genre of film. If i’m watching a drama, I would prefer realistic dialogue because it can indirectly use conversations to show the truth behind a characters emotions/motivations, but if I’m watching a comedy or a Wes Anderson film, the eccentric/unrealistic dialogue could add more to the humor or strangeness of the film that the filmmakers are trying to convey.
