Verisimilitude Definition: This is the appearance of being true or real, which in film means that the scenes look and feel very realistic. Verisimilitude is important because it allows the audience to be taken into the world of the film, so specific aspects can be easier understood and films can be more relatable to some people.

A film that I feel uses verisimilitude is The Adventures Of Huck Finn because Huck Finn’s speech makes his character more believable; I didn’t want to go back no more. This film shows a different way of living and takes the audience on the journey with Huck and Jim (an escaped slave). This film isn’t necessarily relatable but gives further understand of a different life style.
