I’ve noticed a distinct lack of realism in scriptwriting. Cinematographers seem to have tried realism in just about every aspect except characters’ speech.
Obviously real dialogue has limitations like stuttering, mispronouncing, forgetting/saying the wrong word, talking over each other, etc. but I feel like there are other traits of natural conversation that could be worked in without fully compromising comprehensibility
The only examples I know of that attempt speech realism are Primer and United 93












I wouldn’t be surprised if it flopped open like a book upon hitting the pavement
I also wouldn’t be surprised if knuckleheads placed it there like that
