Reader’s question: My comments: Putting it another way: Even the realistic, quote unquote, movies don’t show very realistic violence. The speaker is merely putting the word “realistic” in quote marks in speech. In writing, you have “” as quote marks. In speech, you say quote (for “, beginning of the quote) unquote (for “, end of quote). When you put something in quote marks, of course, you mean to say it ain’t necessarily so. In the above example, the speaker means that the so called “realistic” movies are NOT realistic.
