A Realist Look

Realists believed that their emotions and sensations were important elements for interpreting the world around them but they focused too much on buildings landscapes and still lives. Many artists considered this boring, leaning more toward symbolism. They rejected the optical world of daily life in favor a fantasy world this way they were able to use free imagination. Colors, lines and primary colors, shapes became symbols of personal emotions in response to the world. These artists spoke in signs and symbols, they adopted an approach to subject and form that associated with a general European movement called Symbolism.

Realism is seeing the problem as it is and dealing with it accordingly. Many people in political power tend to see problems through a realistic lens. This is because in a democracy you are elected into power by the people, so a politician needs the people to love him. However, who loves you today may not love you tomorrow so, a politician must always be a ‘people pleaser’. While a politician in a communist power uses fear which is the best for ruling because they will not disobey you. How fear can lead to hate which is the worst way to rule because people will plot against you and impede everything you try to accomplish.

Someone who views things with realism, is not optimistic, they are practical, and authentic, when things are bad they don’t turn towards another option, they face the facts. Nowadays there are realist, but those also are people who complain when things go wrong, because facing reality

Realists attempt to portray the illusion that their film world has not been manipulated and is almost like a mirror to the real world. Their techniques are different to those of any other film. They try to make the film seem as real and as close to normal life as possible by using natural lighting instead of special lighting equipment, they also mostly use hand held cameras and employ non- professional actors to really uphold this realistic image.

Throughout these different readings realism and a realist are looked at in different manners. Levy and Thompson talks about the how a constellation of theories is related to realism should be considered not just a single theory. Schmidt talks about realism and how it relates in the world of paradigm and how it might be leading in the field of paradigm. Drezner covers two area of realism. One as it relates to mercantilist and how they are after specie. What mostly caught my attention was when he talks about realism in retrospect to anarchy. Realism based their ideology on being the actor that does what necessary to guaranteed ones survival. They not only try to guarantee their survival, but they are very vital when it comes to using force. Their dealings are not done in the form of monetary gain,

In module 4, realism was discussed as self-effacing storytelling, which included a coherent organization of space and time. Fabe suggested that “realism encouraged viewers to become too vicariously involved with fictional action, a process that, it was thought, siphoned off their revolutionary energies” (Fabe 22). In module 9, it is discussed that neorealist films tell stories that place in the present day, focus on common, quotidian events in the lives of the poor and the working class, while ending without a closure, poor-quality black and white film stock, low budget, documentary or newsreel look without usage of professional actors. Killer of Sheep involves both the ideas of realism and neorealism, particularly, it adopted documentary style with black and white, no dialogues, we only study the action of the people, mise-en scene, both of them have involve long take and shots. On the hand, Burnett’s adaptation of Neorealist involve nonlinear unfolding of time and there are events laid out for us, which gives us an anti-illusionistic sense.

Realism is a type of art that attempt to represent subject matter truthfully without avoiding artistic conventions. In visual art realism art is a valuable imaginary for the life types and details of the color and light. The burial at Ornans by Gustave Courbet this painting is one of the greatest paintings, loaded with so many details. This picture shows the funeral of someone close to Gustave. The Third-class carriage by Honore Daumier his carrier was to focus around the culture of the working-class people. This painting is known as a painting that represent poor people. The sower by Jean-François millet. Is one of the best painting that shows the realistic movement of a man walking through a plot of freshly tilled soil .it shows that social realistic work because of its focus and subject matter of the way they photograph the

Throughout the last centuries antirealism has been questioned with what is real and not real through our language, beliefs, thoughts, perception, senses, and overall knowledge of what exist beyond our external world. Realism is obviously the opposite of antirealism that is questioned by many philosophers as to what is real and what is not real amongst our external views in a life or a world of questions. Antirealism philosophers for centuries have expressed their opinions and thoughts against realism which some of those philosophers have come to an understanding that realism could in many ways prove that what existence occurs in our outer world through time and space. Realism is the correct view because it is the actual true findings of

Everything that it is not true or does not have a scientific explanation is not considered part of the movement Realism. By all means, the story or film or piece of art is required to have verifiable information. Additionally, Realism is divided in to two categories: Good Realism and Wrong Realism. Good Realism covers the story of gaining a person´s own self through spirit and logical thinking. On the contrary, Wrong Realism makes the person´s own self fragile and with no possibilities of life. By the same token, French Naturalism is used in art to explain verifiable beliefs and the extreme measured of scientific reasoning. In this case, imagination is prohibited, in fact the artists of this movement look for perfection. Likewise, Italians did not agreed with this concept and created Italian Naturalism that only emphasized on the unpleasant conditions of

Often times in life people tend to “bend the truth” when portraying stories, images and their lives to make it seem different than it really is. This was still true back in the 19th century when Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism movements were in full swing in the art community. Out of all of the 19th century art movements, realism appealed to me above all others. The realism style of art attempts to represent a certain subject matter in a true manner as it would be seen in real life, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, impossible, exotic and supernatural elements. The realism movement began as a reaction to the Neoclassicism and Romanticism art forms. Artists were fed up with the constant creation

Neorealism in film embraced a documentary-like objectivity; actors were often amatuers, and the action centred on commonplace situations. Often crudely and hastily made, Neorealist productions stood in stark contrast to traditional escapist feature films.

Realism is the tendency to view or represent things as they really are and not focus on the imagination of a person. Many people do not like to think in a realistic mindset because it shows the flaws that society has, or the

The term realism in 20th century trends and movements can be better understood as, “a mode of writing that gives the impression of recording or reflecting faithfully an actual way of life” (Oxford Concise Dictionary of Literary Terms). The term, sometimes confusingly, suggests both to a literary

Realism is a theory that tries to explain the reasoning behind what people and the government do. According the Realists, humans are inherently selfish, and will do whatever it takes to gain and keep their power. With that being said, realists will also do what they can to gain and maintain national and international power. In Theories of International Relations, Jack Donnelly states, “The core or Realism lies in the conjunction of anarchy and egoism and the resulting imperatives of power

Seeing the “real” in others is about seeing not just who they could potentially be, but also about who they are as person. This includes how they would act if they did not try to “seem” and instead tried to “be.” I think that seeing the “real” in others allows for more in depth conversations and allows for individuals to bring out the best version of self in the individuals that they communicate with. In human relationships I think that seeing the real is especially important because it allows us to reach out and create meaningful relationships with people that we would not have otherwise considered investing time in.
