People enjoy the glossy fake realism of Hollywood. Obviously there is a place for more genuinely realistic movies but those won't typically attract the mainstream attention. Its a facade and we not only accept it but enjoy it. Give us perfect tooth Tom cruise riding a horse in 1873 and people will eat it up. There's nothing wrong with that. The more gritty realism is usually saved for the artier movies which are enjoyable in their own right
