Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

In general your point about verisimitude is correct.

However, most films, when they depict poorer people, do a miserable job of showing what the lives are like. It doesn't help when an actor with the wrong speech pattern (or accent), exaggerated mannerisms, and inappropriate behavior tries to assume the role of a working class person. A similarly poor portrayal of a rich person would lead to raucous objection within the theater.
Anyhow, in this type of film, which is told in a documentary-like manner, the appearance of "truthfullness" is critical. One false note and the effort would collapse.
Did I mention that the homes shown are actual actors' residences? Hee heeeeeeee
