What is the most realistic movie ever?

[b Murphington]

Office space. Cause everyone hates their jobs and if they could they'd blow it up.

Office Space for sure, everything in it is actually pretty plausible. Except for the hypnosis part. That was a stretch for me.

Full Metal Jacket.

The boot camp scene. I graduated from USMC boot camp. Got slapped the **** out of by the senior. Was the bends and thrust king of my class. Senior I feared you, hated you and then I loved and respected you.

YES. I read that most Marines agree that their boot camp in those days was actually very similar. Maybe not so much these days, but even still. I have heard that the Marine boot camp is by far the most intense out of all US branches.

I mentioned the �Chair Force?to a coworker, who�s a Marine. He actually got visibly pissed off and went on a rant with how they didn�t do half of the sh#t that he did, and they get the same VA benefits! Hahahahah.

I�m so sick and tired of some of these movies.

I�m supposed to believe that those toys came to life and started doing weird sh#t when people aren�t paying attention? (Toy Story)

Or that ret@rd Jason Voorhees somehow didn�t drown, no one found his ass, he lives on his own for years in the woods, essentially took care of himself, even though he was essentially ret@rded, and never tried to find his mom, then sees his mom killed, kills something like, 20 people in a span of 3 days, gets killed himself, come back to life, and kills about another 100 people?

Those ****** comic book movies.

Even those movies based on true stories don�t get it right. ESPECIALLY the sports movies. They�re exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

What�s the most realistic movie you�ve ever seen?

I pick Dazed And Confused.

Now, I am too young to know what 1976 felt like, but my dad said that movie was based on his life. And just about every single person I talked to who lived through that time period said that the realism of that movie is insane.

The only thing that wasn�t realistic, were the kids having brand new muscle cars. The director said that was what he wished high school was like for him and it was living a dream through the movie.

Caligula (1979) and Brown Bunny (2003).

Mel Gibson's the Passion of The CHRIST

Lotsa indie films. They usually can't afford crazy sh^t to happen so they are based upon reality & generally don't involve many ninja girls & walk off explosions.

City of God

Full Metal Jacket.

Caligula (1979) and Brown Bunny (2003).

full metal jacket is pretty close to reality, the book its based on was written by a former marine who fought in Nam in '68.
I have seen parts of Caligula, and from what I have read about ancient Rome I'd bet its pretty close. I have seen some indie films about junkies that looked pretty realistic, but very depressing stuff. 13 year old hookers getting pimped out by their moms, etc

Even films that are based on true events, I feel that many things are exaggerated. I even remember hearing about people who lived through those evens �based on true stories,?get pissed off because they say characters aren�t portrayed right or some events never happened or things aren�t fully explained.

When you base a movie off of a story that really happened in real life, it is hard to get all of the facts and all of the stories straight, AND, there is usually a part about the story that is ever so slightly exaggerated, for entertainment purposes of course.

Still realistic, but sometimes I�m harsh with that stuff when they say a �true?story, because if some facts are left out or sometime is made up, even exaggerated, is it really �true?

I�m being nit picky here, and I am speaking in a general sense from the genre, but you understand where I am coming from?

But Full Metal Jacket boot camp is great.

Now hold on a minute.

You saying the cops were realistic?

I don�t care how lazy or incompetent people think cops are, but NO cops would EVER act like that and the things they did, would NEVER happen! Not even idiotic ones. That part is far from realistic.

The way the teens act and the overall premise is realistic, a lot of teen comedies and dramas are pretty realistic.

I�ll give a great example of such a BIG exaggeration on a true story film. If you have never seen The Mule with Clint Eastwood and want to see it, don�t read any further.

**SPOILER**

The ending with Clint Eastwood�s character was false. In the movie, they show the character being taken into custody with a big state trooper blockade. Police helicopter too. Dozens of officers. Guns drawn. Hollywood style. The highway was actually blocked off everywhere. That didn�t happen.

It was a routine traffic stop. They pulled him over knowing he was the guy. They asked him a bunch of your typical police officer questions, they detained him first, didn�t arrest him right away. Clint�s character tried to talk his way out of it. Then the police dogs came and it was over.

See the difference? First ending was Hollywood ending. Th real ending was less more dramatic.

The Hollywood ending is still plausible though.

I�m rambling. I�m sorry.

But Full Metal Jacket boot camp is great.

the boot camp scenes were described by former marines as extremely accurate, the actor who plays the drill Sgt went through basic training, he was a Nam vet. a few things were exaggerated, drill sgts weren't allowed to hit their recruits in training, in the book of full metal jacket it is explained that the sgt. beat them only in his office where it couldn't be seen, but the stuff he says is based on real marine basic training. Full metal jacket is one of my favourite films ever.

most films change stories for dramatic effect, but the Mickey ward movie with all its crazy scenes with his mother was all true
