Movies can be unrealistic, at times to their detriment. A user asked, what is something you’re absolutely sick of seeing in the movies and here are the top things:
GETTING SHOT AND BEING FINE
“The hero getting shot and then just carrying on his day with a slight limp.”
“The 90’s movie “Last Action Hero” did a great play on this. They show how getting shot in the movie world is just a scratch, whereas the same shot in the real world involves bleeding out and being carted off in an ambulance.”
DRIVING AND WATCHING THE PASSENGERS
“When a pair of people are in a car having a conversation, and the driver looks at the passenger while talking and takes their eyes off the road for an insane amount of time.”
TOO MANY JUMPS
“Action scenes with so many jump cuts it’s hard to follow.”
SOMETIMES IT IS TOO DARK
“How dark the films are shot and how whispery everyone is. Can you please SPEAK UP, and someone turns on the friggin lights?”
CAR CHASES
“Car chases in the middle of the afternoon. Where the hell do you live? In my city, if I make it to 30 on my way home from work, I have a good commute.”
KILLING EVERYONE BUT LEAVING THE BOSS ALIVE
“Mowing down rows and rows of goons only to leave the final boss alive because “they aren’t worth it” or “I’m not like you”
“Killing him won’t bring your daughter back; it’s not worth it; it’ll only be one more life taken from this world,” says the sidekick while looting the dozens of dead goons they just shot down.”
CLICHE LOVE
“Cliche: “Omg, the love of my life was right beside me all along.”
BAD GUYS CAN NOT SHOOT
“Bad guys and their minions have the shooting accuracy of a blind man, whereas most of the time, good guys are sharpshooters.”
“Even worse when the bad guys have rifles and miss every shot, but the hero takes them all out using only a pistol.”
CHANGING FROM ALCOHOLIC TO NON-ALCOHOLIC
“Scenario: the guy’s been an alcoholic for years, something happens, and “they” need him. The next day he’s up and ready to go.
I spent nine days on the floor going through withdrawal before eating solid food. Sobering up doesn’t work like it’s portrayed in the movies. Six years sober”
LABOR FALLACIES
“Women going into labor by having their water break dramatically and then immediately having the pain ramp up to 1000 and give birth without drugs within fifteen minutes.”
“I get it, realistic childbirth makes for mundane television. But for the vast majority of people, labor is kind of a slow process.”
HANGING UP THE PHONE WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE
“People hanging up the phone without saying goodbye.”
“Or making plans. I’ll meet you tomorrow at 6″ puts phone down 6 what, am where”
WASTED FOOD
“Wasted food. Why is it always that families cook a huge and delicious breakfast for everyone to take one bite and leave because they’re going to be late???? It bugs me so much!”
ROMANTIC SUB-PLOT
“Whenever the protagonist meets an attractive person of the opposite sex, they WILL get into a relationship at some point. No matter how nonexistent the chemistry is.”
“This is why I stopped watching the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie halfway in. The “romantic subplot” involved two characters who spend almost every scene together snarking at each other. They had all the chemistry of ammonia and bleach.”
REMOVING GLASSES AND TURNING HOT
“Girls who transform into the hottest thing ever just by removing their glasses and letting down their hair. This just doesn’t happen in real life!”
