My example of a piece of realistic art is the film Eastern Promises by David Cronenberg. The film depicts the brtual life of the underworld of Russia. The film has one exceedingly disturbing scene in which an undercover police officer who is trying to deeply infiltrate the mafia organization is told to rape a prostitute as his initiation. The scene bluntly shows you how terrible things really are for those who have fallen into such a life in Russia. This is an excellent example of realism because it jars you into remembering that there are horrific circumstances around the globe that we are not aware of simply because we are not there.
