People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage. (sh.itjust.works)

Know what I mean?

Movie speech is so "elegant", every word is perfectly spoken.

But reality is like: "um... so you know... I... uh..."... the spur of the moment, non-rehearsed, reality.

Maybe movies should add more "inelegance" to make them seem more "realistic".

That makes complete sense. If the point of a movie is to tell us a story, then it should be catered to be more exciting and engaging. Of course it also makes sense for someone to come up with a story that benefits on being told realistically, like a found footage kind of movie, in which OP's suggestion makes sense.
