But in novels, words like shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits might have appeared more in recent decades because novelists are on the whole less interested in writing in a register of respectability and more interested in social verisimilitude.
|
|
Of course, I do this partly because there's verisimilitude to these ideas, but mostly because I feel the way about Miami that Sanchez does about his mermaid — that it's beautiful, fragile, challenging to piece together, and worthy of altar-like reverence.
|
|
Seemingly raising questions about the nature of verisimilitude and the withholding of truth, the use of silk in Paul's work is particularly interesting, in that silk and other fabrics were evidently used as espionage tools to encode messages during the war.
|
|
And the politics of the show, a key part of what made it feel so different and fresh way back in 2011, completely fell apart — to the point where it was impossible to treat the series as having anything like verisimilitude.
|

|

|
|

|
|
As typified in a famous scene in which Anna starts dropping truth bombs about what it's really like to be a famous actress in Hollywood, it's a movie that opts for a degree of verisimilitude amid its very fantastical, optimistic depictions of love.
|
|
Where to watch: HBO Season 2, episode 7 It's easy to laugh off the concerns of Barry's acting class when stakes with his old employer are literally life or death, but the verisimilitude actress Sarah Goldberg brings to Sally in Season 2 is remarkable.
|
|
A consultant on verisimilitude for British museums and a presenter of several popular BBC series re-enacting daily life in bygone eras, she has made a name for herself by literally walking in the shoes of the people she studies, at all levels of society.

|
The thorny verisimilitude of "Two Black Women and a White Man" is also distinctly American — a brass-tacks description of the human body's swells, ruts, bumps, and hollows that flows from Social Realism, American Regionalism, and the latter-day traditions of funky, Guston-esque caricature.
|

|
|
Some of Garner's prejudices are less conscious than others, but I suspect she understands perfectly well that narrative truth—what Elena Ferrante calls "authenticity" (as distinct from mere verisimilitude)—proceeds from a kind of dangerous honesty that is not always conscious but is, rather, half disclosed, imperfectly controlled.
|
|

|
|

|
On a set (by Takeshi Kata) replicating the impromptu memorial of candles and stuffed animals that lined Canfield Avenue in the weeks after Mr. Brown's death, Ms. Orlandersmith moves from character to character with minimal fuss, adding or subtracting a simple costume piece (by Kaye Voyce) but otherwise not attempting anything but verbal verisimilitude.
|
|
From oak spice boxes carved in the shape of geese in South India to a chocolate cake decorated by a British baker to resemble a pheasant straight off the spit, artisans have always toyed with verisimilitude, making twisted versions of familiar things, recreating them in dazzling, unexpected materials, bending their forms to reveal their essence.
|
|
Ultra-low-budget features deserve leeway on verisimilitude, but you have to shut your eyes and plug your ears to maintain the illusion that "Liza, Liza, Skies Are Grey" is set in 1966, an impression that an opening title card, the occasional glimpsed appliance and a surprisingly small number of the costumes strain to convey.
|
|
Seen at this scale, the verisimilitude of small details was easier to savor: the posters of Broadway plays that line the walls of Lisa's apartment; the harshness of the fluorescent light in the kitchen where Lisa talks with a louche schoolmate, played by Kieran Culkin, whom she has invited over to take her virginity.

|
|
Then they veered off into verisimilitude by trying to sing O-Town's "Liquid Dreams," but Corden didn't have the music and neither of them really knew the words, so their excursion started to look like when normals go on a road trip and try to sing, instead of like when trained vocalist superstars try to act relatable for late night talk show hosts.

While this year's other best picture contenders tell stories that range from tender (Call Me By Your Name) to cuttingly timely (Get Out, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) to gripping and historical (Dunkirk, The Post, Darkest Hour) to exacting (The Phantom Thread) to sublimely fantastical (The Shape of Water), Greta Gerwig's slice of life story remains a standout for its verisimilitude and realistic portrait of a mother (Laurie Metcalf) and daughter dancing around each other in a torturous boomerang between love and hate.
|
|
The most careful setups can go terribly wrong, even when choreographed by as seasoned a spy actor as David Harewood (who played the C.I.A. chief David Estes on "Homeland," with a far better American accent.) Jonathan takes pains to assure that things seem "real" — an effort for which he's rewarded with a big dose of verisimilitude that lands him in a private hospital ("Our one," Roper says, "not the death trap on the main drag"), and ultimately in a bedroom in Roper's kingly compound by the sea.
|
|
It would've been easy for co-creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault to phone this in and settle for creating the Scary Movie version of a true-crime parody, but every script and actor embraces the verisimilitude of what they've built here — the stakes might not be life or death, but this prank still has real-world consequences for the kid, Dylan Maxwell (Jimmy Tatro), accused of the crime; and its teenage documentarians, Peter (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam (Griffin Gluck), treat the subject with the weight it deserves, even when their nerdy AV project goes viral.
