I can’t stand how movies and TV shows depict people. Nobody talks like that in real life, or walks like that. They don’t make those facial expresions, or say those words. It just makes them deeply unnerving for me. Its weird, because other people either don’t notice it at all or even prefer it for some reason.
This is precisely what i was thinking of when i made this post!
I’ve known people who do put-on the “romcom/sitcom protsgonist persona” which you describe - overly bubbly, intonating words wrong, corporate speak - and long story short, they’re always untrustworthy.
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
