Those words are brought up a lot because they work, that's how a story is successful and rememebered. If your audience can't connect with the characters in your story, then what are you doing? It's gonna turn a work from unremarkable to bad, where the characters come off as disconnected with reality. You can do that, or do wierd so right it's hard to ignore.

This made me remember about the movie God's not Dead, where it's bad not because it's a christian movie, but the characters just don't feel real. Everyone acts in an extreme of their stereotype.
