 We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some filmmakers are more 
concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used conservatively. It is essentially a 
recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium 
is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its 
best the realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art.
