Why we believe Up's flying house, according to StudioBinder

The filmmaking channel's essay separates realism from believability, with a start far above its usual pace.

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 1:05Believability can mean matching the audience's real world or honoring the expectations of a film's genre.
  2. 3:20Jurassic World and The Force Awakens illustrate details that can disrupt the audience's belief.
  3. 4:12Up illustrates why recognizable emotion and consistent storytelling can support an impossible premise.
  4. 6:05Arrival's climactic reveal is examined as a payoff built on internal narrative logic; spoilers follow.
  5. 6:48Lighting, set details and sound help make the worlds of The Lighthouse and Roma feel tangible.
  6. 8:50Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Funny Games show filmmakers deliberately breaking their agreement with the audience.

Claire's high heels in Jurassic World make an unlikely counterpoint to the flying house in Up. In StudioBinder's new essay, they help explain why something merely improbable can strain our belief while something impossible can carry us along.

The word connecting them is verisimilitude: the quality of feeling true. "What Is Verisimilitude? Why We Believe Impossible Movies" reached roughly 38,000 views in 17 hours, well ahead of the channel's usual first-day pace.

StudioBinder, a production-software company whose channel publishes filmmaking lessons, breaks believability into distinct promises. A film can feel faithful to the world we know, or faithful to its genre. Nobody expects West Side Story's characters to behave exactly like people on an ordinary street. The musical establishes a different agreement.

The essay then gets to what holds that agreement together: recognizable emotions and consistent narrative rules. Up supplies the emotional example; Arrival demonstrates how a climactic revelation can follow an internal logic. There are spoilers for both, along with several other films.

Belief also has a physical texture. The Lighthouse and Roma provide examples of lighting, production design and sound making a screen world feel tangible, rather than simply looking convincing.

Viewers are adding their own examples, including Everything Everywhere All at Once and its commitment to absurd situations. But StudioBinder doesn't treat breaking the spell as an automatic mistake: its final section examines filmmakers who do it deliberately, from Funny Games to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

What viewers say

  • "Everything, Everywhere, All at once" is a good example of a movie that makes you believe impossible and absurd things by taken them seriously.

  • Verisimilitude feels like a fancy way of saying that a story must feel credible, whether the context for the credibility is real or fictional or both.
