@Wango_Tango You'd have to be unbelievably naive to think that "something players will like" means something other than "something we can make money from."
@shadowhunter0 @Kenji_Masamune That's always what the young kids claim. You might want to study a little literary criticism to discover that "understanding it" and "getting what it really means" is just a pretentious red herring. If most people fail to interpret the movie in the way the is pleasing, it's not a good film. Art isn't a research project.
The point I take is that we, critics, use this term "realism" as an ideology that mystifies the problem of ethics: think about, for example, how games that attempt to be photo-realistic hold up the least amount of time in terms of their graphical fidelity. I agree with Greg, to a point, that there is nothing realistic about an artistic representation.
