Realism, Anti-Realism, and Verisimilitude
Realism and anti-realism basically mean exactly what they sound like. Realism is pretty much the real deal. The things are represented and view as they are in real life. An example of realism would be the movie Forest Gump. Anti-realism on the other hand is more the fantasy side of things. Things are view more in the abstract and speculative manner. An example for anti-realism would be Back to the Future. Verisimilitude is where the movie is fake yet they still make you believe that the people, places, and things are all real. Pretty much any scary movie would be considered verisimilitude. So just to pick one I'd say The Orphan.
