What Celebrity Got Cancelled and You Genuinely Felt Bad for Them? Let’s See What People Said.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, we now live in a “cancel culture”.

If you’re a public figure and you do something that is deemed to be inappropriate, you may face serious consequences from the public at large.

But is it always fair?

Are there any celebrities out there who have been cancelled that you feel bad for?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts.

1. A rough situation.

“Amanda Bynes.

From what I’ve seen she was abused by Dan Schneider at Nickelodeon Studios for YEARS.

And a lot like Britney, is currently under conservatorship because of a total mental breakdown.”

2. You mean Encino Man?

“Brendan Fraser.

The man was groped by Hollywood exec Philip Berk and spoke out about it long before #metoo.

They instantly cancelled him and we never got to see him again till only recently… His mom also passed away shortly after he got s*xually assaulted.”

3. Shelley Duvall.

“Duvall was in a string of great Robert Altman films in the 1970s, and did her own string of Cable shows in the 1980s, Shelley Duvall’s Faere Tale Theatre, Tall Tales and Legends, and Bedtime stories.

Also, she did a few musical albums, and even created some computer games in the 1990s, like A Bird’s Life and A Dog’s life. There is WAY more to her then Wendy Torrane in the Shining.

Now, she is completly forgotten, except when people call her crazy or something. She deserves WAY better in my opinion.”

4. Britney.

“Britney spears.

She didn’t even get “cancelled”, she just had her reputation smeared all over primetime tv and THEN the courts decide that her reaction to being systematically erased from relevance was “crazy”.”

5. Blacklisted.

“Peter Norman.

He should have been Australia’s greatest athlete, but he supported the black power salute and got black listed by the Australian Olympic Committee.”

6. Haven’t heard about this one.

“David Arquette.

There’s a really good documentary called “You Cannot Kill David Arquette” about what happened and how he is now.”

7. Two good actresses.

“Ashley Judd.

Harvey Weinstein blacklisted her for years. She’s an incredible actress IMO.

Mira Sorvino, too. She went from one of the most in-demand actresses after winning her Oscar, to being completely blacklisted because Weinstein was telling anyone who’d listen that she was a diva and impossible to work with.”

8. Star of the 1980s.

“Corey Feldman.

He was the first who told everyone what was really going on with child actors in Hollywood and no one listened.

Barbara Walters yelled at him for exposing it.”

9. Pee-wee!

“Paul Reubens.

As a 1980s kid who loved PeeWee’s Playhouse, remembering how my parents tried to explain Paul Rubens getting canceled is hilarious.

My dad told me “he took off his clothes in a movie theater” and kid me was like “wow that’s really weird but I guess he is kind of crazy?””

10. Remember this?

“Winona Ryder.

That feels like one of the first big “cancels” of the Internet age.

Glad she was able to rebound with Stranger Things.”

11. This was ridiculous.

“Howard Dean.

He yelled in excitement at one of his political rallies in 2004.

People thought he was wasn’t fit to be president because of it.”

12. Outrage.

“Kind of a unique case but, Laura Dern.

When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.

She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.

Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role.”

13. For speaking out.

“Not completely gone, but Terry Crews has issues getting work because he spoke out about being s*xually assaulted during the #MeToo movement.

People assumed a man his stature couldn’t be assaulted and he gave names and people weren’t very happy.”

Do you feel bad for any cancelled celebs?

We’d love to hear from you!

People Talk About the Unrealistic Things in Movies That Really Annoy Them

As someone who loves movies, I’m well aware that there are TONS of things that happen in films that are just…well…ridiculous…

And sometimes those things can really get on our nerves!

AskReddit users went on the record and shared the unrealistic things in movies that drive them crazy. Let’s take a look!

1. Unrealistic.

“Unrealistic wealth.

Typical family with one working parent has a four bedroom house with in-ground pool; college graduates living in some swanky penthouse on a babysitter salary.

Twenty-four year old doctors.”

2. Nerd alert!

“Playing video games.

Randomly mashing all buttons at the same time and pressing R1/L1 and R2/L2 for no reason…”

3. Don’t you have somewhere to be?

“High school scenes where there are lounges in the hallway and students are free to be wherever they want to be around the building(s) no matter the time of day without consequence.”

4. He’s somewhere…in Europe…

“Omniscient bad guys.

I know you have to have the plot move forward, but dude is trying to hide in Europe and somehow the villain is always where the hero wants to go before they get there.

I mean… Europe is pretty big, and I can’t imagine getting totally lost there would be all that difficult.”

5. What’s the rent here?

“People living in these gigantic NY or LA apartments while working jobs that realistically could never pay for such a nice place.”

6. Not realistic.

“People doing CPR. Then the person who just got CPR wakes up like 10 minutes later and eats lunch.

Also movies are really bad at maintaining sterile fields in operating rooms.”

7. Gotta go!

“When the mom prepares a feast for breakfast and everyone only takes a bite or two before rushing off.

My mom would have scolded me for wasting food. Also, she wouldn’t prepare a huge meal for breakfast.”

8. Guns.

“Gun silencers being that quiet. In reality they’re like the sound of someone clapping.

For that matter just about any gun being fired inside. The noise is deafening. Even in the movies you see people wearing hearing protection at a range, but then when action scenes occur that aspect is completely thrown out.”

9. Time to walk away.

“Casually strolling away from a massive explosion.

They have eardrums of steel and shrapnel proof skin.

It’s legit, I Googled it!”

10. Both of these things.

“Stalker-ish behavior being portrayed as “romantic”.

The man in a relationship being portrayed as a near-braindead doofus.”

11. Knocked out.

“People getting knocked out cold for an hour, then waking up and going about their day like nothing’s happened.

I once got knocked out for like two minutes and ended up sick for a month.”

12. Computing powers.

“My son in law is a video game programmer and it drives him crazy when in cop shows/movies they use a computer to search for a match to fingerprints or a face and the screen scrolls with the images flashing on the screen.

He’s like do you know how much computing power it takes to render all those images the computer doesn’t need to flash them on the screen !!”

13. You again?!?!

“Mostly in romcoms: people randomly running into each other out in public.

Like, how small is your town that you bumped into the same person 3 days in a row at a restaurant/bar/shop?”

14. No sparks at all.

“When two characters do something simple like glancing at each other and then the romance has started.

If a man and a woman bump into each other and some music plays that’s enough to ensure the romance has begun.

I bump into guys all the time, where’s my boyfriend??

15. Nailed it.

“Pretty much any police detective show…

Female detective constantly wearing high heels (which would be uncomfortable alone and very challenging during the inevitable foot chase scene).

Immediately upon discovering evidence at a crime scene they will pick it up using a loosely held glove or the tip of a pencil.. in real life evidence needs to be documented/photographed before handled and how lazy are you that you can’t properly slip on a glove.

Just about everything else forensics wise. I everyone with loose hair, rarely wearing gloves, every fingerprint or other peice of evidence is relevant to the crime.

The crime scene line is like 10 feet from the body so the public has a great view of everything and of course any nearby evidence is destroyed.

Every time the cop says that you have to tell me X or I am going to arrest you for obstruction.”

What do you think?

What unrealistic things in movies really drive you up the wall?

What Unrealistic Things in Movies Drive You Crazy? Here’s What People Had to Say.

The couple ends up together in the end. The bad guy gets it eventually. The underdog always wins.

The things listed above are all examples of things that happen all the time in movies and are totally unrealistic.

You know it’s true!

And some of these unrealistic Hollywood conventions really drive people crazy. Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this!

1. This is fun!

“Sprinklers going off indoors.

When this happens in the movies, people are super excited, laughing, jumping around and playing in the water like it is raining.

In reality, the water in those pipes is absolutely disgusting, dirty, smelly, black water that would make most people run like hell to get away from.

Source: I used to install sprinklers in buildings during my high school summers as a part time job.”

2. Doesn’t happen.

“I am 76 years old and have been buying things in stores since I was five.

I have never ever seen someone toss some money on a counter and say keep the change and then dash out with the purchase.”

3. Eyes on the road!

“I hate when someone is driving and they’re talking to the passenger without looking at the road for like 10 seconds at a time.”

4. Plain Jane?

“Everybody acting like the heroine is plain.

She’s wearing glasses and a baggy sweater and a ponytail, but her face is perfect, her teeth are perfect, her skin is perfect and she hasn’t got an ounce of fat anywhere.”

5. Totally unrealistic.

“Most fight scenes.

Bar fight, guy gets hit with six broken chairs, several bottles broken over his head, still gets up fine and fights off like twenty other guys.

Real fighting is the most physically exhausting thing you can do. Your average person would barely last a minute. Most street fights are one of two punches before they get winded. Athletes have to do insane amount of endurance training and conditioning to be able to fight. Three minutes in the ring will feel like a lifetime.

Beyond that, many such injuries will completely knock you out or be fatal. Again on the street if you punch someone, knock them out, and their head hits pavement, there is a fair chance you just killed them. Even then, most head injuries you just don’t get up and keep fighting from.

But because of Hollywood, every jack*ss thinks they can take on twenty guys at once or would do awesome in a fight.”

6. In the lab.

“I always enjoy watching lab scenes. People looking into microscopes that aren’t even turned on or plugged in.

No one has gloves on or their hair pulled back…. unrelated formulas scrolled on whiteboards.

And always, I mean all f*cking ways, if they are in a lab, be it a biology lab, physics, what have you…. there will be chemistry glassware too.”

7. Wrong!

“As a guy who works with computers, pretty much any computer scene – especially hacking scenes.

“If I bypass the firewall using a SQL protocol, I can load the XML into the CSS stack and update the database to cross the JavaScript and SVG streams… And I’m in!”

Much of that is legitimate terminology, but used in a very wrong manner.”

8. The miracle of life.

“Childbirth.

Water breaks, you go immediately to the hospital, it’s time to push, she pushes three times and immediately reverts to her prepregnancy state. Also, her hair and makeup are immaculate.

A bonus in unbelievability for surprise twins, a sudden marriage proposal, or a “newborn” who is clearly 6 months or older.”

9. Still lookin’ good.

“Women in bed with makeup still on.

I know actors gotta be wearing some because it looks better on camera. I mean more like those scenes where a couple is going to bed and the woman still has the same full face of makeup on she was wearing during the day.

Just tone it down a bit, you know?”

10. That doesn’t look right…

“The stereotypical scene where the protagonist flies to a new city/country and they have a shot of a plane landing at sunset. The plane and airport almost never match the flight they actually took.

It’s pretty often for someone to fly to Cleveland but the shot they show is a 747 landing in LA. Most people wouldn’t notice but it bugs me every time I see it.”

11. Hahaha. Yes!

“Tiny American towns in Christmas movies made after 2005 where everyone is attractive and employed.”

12. Not accurate.

“It’s very clear which movies/shows don’t do their research when it comes to representing the military.

It’s not a movie, but I made a post about the show Virgin River and how ignorantly they portray a community of veterans.

In case you’re unaware, anyone who has ever worn a uniform is basically a more virtuous version of Captain America.”

13. Nice digs.

“I’m sure this has been said but it still bugs me.

When a character is a secretary or they work in the mail room and somehow they live in a gorgeous downtown apartment with no roommates.”

14. Brilliant!

“A white guy running through Spanish Harlem in the middle of the night, screaming “Maria!” at the top of his lungs and only one woman pokes her head out the window.”

Okay, now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, tell us about the unrealistic things that happen in movies that really drive you nuts.

Please and thank you!

What Movie or TV Show Makes You Think, “The Older I Get, the More I Agree With the Adult”? Let’s See What People Said.

I think this is gonna be fun!

And I have a good example!

I recently watched one of my favorite movies, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, for the first time in a few years. Of course, most people would pick Jeff Spicoli as their favorite character if they were asked (or maybe Stacy Hamilton).

But when I watched it this time, I kind of felt a strong kinship with the teacher, Mr. Hand. What does that say about me? That I’m getting old, that’s what!

Let’s see movies and TV shows make AskReddit users say, “the older I get, the more I agree with the adult.

1. Great show.

“Sadly, The Wonder Years.

I always couldn’t believe the dad was real, with his p*ssed off attitude from work.

Now I understand…”

2. Oh, Dad!

“Father of the Bride.

Watching it as a kid, Steve Martin seemed like an old grump.

Rewatching it as an adult, holy sh*t, he is the only sane person in that movie.”

3. Team Zazu.

“The Lion King.

Oh I thought Zazu was just an old fun-killer. What do you mean, Simba can’t be king? Why would you prevent the kids from going where they want?

As an adult and father, I’m 100% Team Zazu.”

4. Eugene Levy rules!

“American Pie.

As a new father, I hope to be like Jim’s dad when my little one is a teenager.

Caring, loving and a complete embarrassment to them.”

5. I advise against it.

“The mom in Ice Princess.

So you have a daughter who has a talent for and seems to like physics and has a shot of getting into Harvard. This girl throws it away for ice skating where she has only been competing for less than a year, where if she gets injured she’s done and when she reaches 30 she’s pretty much done.

There is no way she is at an olympic level at that point she would need years of training! Hell yes I would advise against it to!”

6. A 1980s classic.

“I watched Sixteen Candles recently.

I now do not approve of Samantha going anywhere near Jake Ryan.”

7. That kid was trouble.

“Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace.

Seriously, f*ck that little miscreant and his parents that turn a blind eye to his shenanigans.”

8. You’re right!

“In Dirty Dancing, Jerry Orbach just wanted a family summer vacation and instead learned entirely too much about his daughters’ s*x lives.

H also teaches an important life lesson to everyone. Near the end, he says, “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong”.

If more people could do that, we’d be in a better place.”

9. Ha!

“The Julia Louis-Dreyfus character and her husband in Christmas Vacation.

Every day, my wife and I are slowly turning into them…”

10. Stan the Man.

“When I was younger I rooted for Jim’s shenanigans in The Office.

The older I get the more I relate to Stanley and how he just wants to bide his time until retirement.”

11. Deadbeat Dad.

“Mrs. Doubtfire.

Miranda came home from work only to find her deadbeat husband hosting a party with wild animals in her home. During the divorce, he claimed he was unemployable.

Then he dressed up like a woman with professional makeup/costume etc. and watched their kids secretly and tried to kill her new boyfriend!”

12. He was right.

“10 Things I Hate About You.

When the dad says “you’re 18, you don’t know what you want. And you won’t know what you want ’til you’re 45, and even if you get it, you’ll be too old to use it.””

13. He was out of control.

“Top Gun.

Maverick is the d*ck who can’t follow rules and gets his best friend killed, yet Iceman is the “villain” for not getting into hijinx and having a co-pilot who’s alive.”

14. Good point.

“The movie Juno.

Jennifer Garner’s character is at first portrayed as a “square”, then you realize she’s a mature adult and her husband is a man-baby.”

15. Was he a creeper?

“School of Rock.

Like WTF?

An adult impersonating a teacher and taking kids to places where they shouldn’t be and none of their parents knew where they were?”

Are there any movies that make you feel this way as you get older?

If so, please tell us all about it in the comments.

Thanks a lot!

People Discuss the Nicest Celebrities They’ve Dealt With at Their Jobs

I know that celebrities seem like they have it all, but I think one aspect of their lives that would be kind of a nightmare would be dealing with people in their everyday lives.

I know, I know, they signed up for it once they decided to become an actor/singer/etc., but it’s gotta get old to have people always bothering you and wanting a photo with you when you’re just trying to have dinner with your family or go to the grocery store.

But still, people do like to hear stories about their encounters with bigwigs in ordinary situations.

AskReddit users talked about dealing with celebrities at their jobs.

Let’s see what they had to say.

1. It was her.

“Amanda Seyfried came into the coffee shop I used to work in.

I made her a coffee and she even complimented me on it!

When I asked if it was her, she said, ‘No but I get that a lot.’

Two days later she posted a photo on Instagram where she was obviously in the same small town.

It was totally her.”

2. Sir Ian.

“I was working at a theatre café trying to get through the usual rush before the show started when I realized I was serving Sir Ian McKellen!

I kept my cool and was disappointed to learn that the guy who was in the bar with me didn’t know who he was!

We both loved Ian’s Ugg boots though.”

3. Please don’t.

“I met Morgan Freeman when he came to my work (a symphony hall) for a show.

He was so nice, he was asking me all these questions about my life, and his voice sounded even better in person.

I held it together pretty well but as I was walking away I said to my coworker (too loudly) “omg I’m gonna pee my pants.”

And he tapped my shoulder and said “please don’t.””

4. We miss him.

“Robin Williams was in town for a performance and was having an issue with his computer.

He brought it in for repair and spent the time waiting hanging out with us, taking pictures, cracking jokes and talking to us.”

5. Hmmm…

“Several years ago I worked at a nice, sit down pizza restaurant.

One night Miley Cyrus (Party in the USA era) and her whole family came in.

I waited on them. When it was time to bring out their pizza I put it on the table and said, “It’s a pizza party in the USA!”

She did not find it as amusing as my coworkers did.”

6. That was nice.

“I used to work at an oil company where we dispatched over a radio…

A driver was delivering to Ben Affleck’s house and mentioned that it was my birthday.

Ben got up into the cab of the truck and got on the radio to wish me a happy birthday!”

7. Big mug.

“This happened to a girl I work with but still awesome.

Nick Offerman came into the coffee shop we work at and ordered a large coffee.

When she gave him the mug he looked at her and said ” that’s a satisfyingly large mug” did his awesome laugh and sat down giggling at the mug.”

8. Maybe they’re just normal folks.

“I was working at a restaurant when Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel came in.

They were so nice and actually tried to help us bus their table!”

9. Funny.

“I was a barista at the time, and Brad Garrett (from Finding Nemo, Everybody Loves Raymond) came in.

It was a busy cafe and I had TONS of fun with customers there, while trying to be as efficient as possible.

I also had THE COOLEST eyeglasses ever at the time, they were rectangle with triangle shaped arms made of stainless steel.

It’s important that you know how cool these were (R.I.P. ?). Anyways, Brad comes over to watch me make his beverage. We make some small talk, and now Brad is wearing my glasses and impersonating me. ” I am a fancy barista, look at how cool I am with my weird glasses…” he says.

So I immediately shot back, in my most Brad Garrett-y voice: ” oh look, I’m Brad Garrett, I’m SOOOO funny and I’m a giant human” (said while walking around like Shrek). He laughed. I laughed. He even came back the next day asking where I was!

It’s the friendship that never was, but always should have been.”

10. Not a shocker.

“Taylor Swift came into the store I work in while she was in Westerly, Rhode Island and completely ignored all the workers and customers.

Her very attractive body guard was pleasant and chatted with us though!”

11. Oops.

“I work at a Starbucks drive thru and one day Kevin Bacon came through! He was wearing a beanie and sunglasses (at night ?) and I wasn’t 100% sure it was him so I decided to test it.

Right before he was gonna drive away I said “have a nice night, Kevin!” He said thank you very politely, then as if remembering he didn’t want to be recognized he mumbled “sh*t” and drove away.”

12. That voice, though.

“My mom, my sisters, and I were visiting Philadelphia on July 4, 2006. We went to the hotel penthouse to play a board game.

While we were playing, my mom realized that Lionel Richie was across the room and was being interviewed for the July 4 festivities. She was so excited that she stopped playing the game and started whispering her responses to anything Richie said as if they were having a conversation.

When he finished the interview, he walked by and my mom introduced herself. He was extremely pleasant, warm and friendly. He said to my mom, “Very nice to meet you, ma’am.” He then turned to my sisters and me and said, “You guys probably don’t know me. You probably know Nicole.”

I said, “No, we don’t go to school around here, so probably not.” He just stared at me, smiled, and gave my mom a hug. Once he left, my twin sister said, “No, you idiot, Nicole Richie. She’s on TV.” I said, “Oh, yeah, sure.” I still wasn’t sure who she was until I looked her up later.

In any case, Lionel Richie was very kind, and even though my mom apologized profusely for “bothering” him, he assured her that he always liked meeting fans and their families.”

13. That’s a weird comment.

“My family own a Mexican restaurant on the south side of Chicago. One day three men come in and talk about the charity work being done in the area. I nod along and go about serving them. One gentlemen in particular looked especially familiar but I couldn’t place him.

Eventually, they ask me about The Shawshank Redemption, if I have ever seen the movie. I said no. They point to one of the men, not the one who looked familiar, and said he was in the film. I shrug and say, “that’s cool”. All this while the one who looks familiar refuses to make direct eye contact with me, like he was shy. I almost said that he looked familiar but I didn’t want to bother them while they ate.

Eventually they finished and left, but not without telling me not to get knocked up at a young age. Later that day I tell my older brother about the encounter. He pulls up pictures of the cast. The shy gentleman who I recognized – Tim Robbins. Thanks for the life advice, Tim Robbins, 12 years later and I’m still not knocked up.”

How about you?

What Movie Ending Makes You Cry? Here’s How People Responded.

I’ve been a huge movie lover since I was young and there are certain movies that just really get me choked up no matter how many times I see them.

The ending of It’s A Wonderful Life? Here come the waterworks!

And I bet that you have a few of those, too, don’t you?

People on AskReddit talk about what movie endings always make them cry.

1. Mulan.

“It isn’t a sad movie but for me it’s Mulan, after she presents her father with the sword of Shan Yu and the crest of the emperor.

Her dad ignores them and says “the greatest gift of all is having you for a daughter”.

Don’t know how many hours in my life I have spent wishing to hear that my dad is proud of me, so to see a dad say something like that to his daughter is just…the feels.”

2. I see dead people.

“The Sixth Sense.

“Grandma says you asked her a question when she died, she says the answer is ‘every day’, what did you ask her momma?”

“I asked… ‘did I make you proud’.”

3. Oh man…

“Homeward Bound.

It was too far, he was just too old.”

4. Memories.

“Coco.

My grandfather had dementia and couldn’t remember me the last time he saw me but showed me the house of my grandparents where I basically grew up in like I was a visitor.

I miss him so so much. My Opapa.”

5. On a mission.

“What Dreams May Come

A film about a man (Robin Williams) who dies and goes to heaven.

His wife dies some time later and is sent to Hell.

He decides to find her.”

6. That’s a good one.

““He can’t see without his glasses.”

And I sob.

The name of the movie is My Girl (1991).”

7. All choked up.

“Wall-E.

The way it zooms out with the “a whole life long”…

Every time.”

8. I’m actually crying now.

“The Fox and The Hound.

What I love about this movie is that every character makes you feel bad for them. You feel bad for Tod and Copper for their lost friendship. You feel bad for Tod’s mother being killed.

You feel bad for Tweed for having to give up Tod. You feel bad for Chief for nearly dying, and strangest of all, you even feel bad for Slade for all the trouble Tod caused him through the movie.

What makes it unique is that out of all the Disney villains, Slade is the least evil and most justified in his actions. He’s a jerk, yes, and his hunting job is demonized, but it’s a normal living and everything he did in that movie was legal (until he trespasses in the game reserve).

Tweed adopted an illegal pet and failed to control him so that he trespassed on Slade, then he got Slade’s best friend nearly killed. It’s understandable why he’d be so distraught and bent on vengeance. Even when he has a chance to kill Tod, he chooses not to, and instead goes back to a more friendly relationship with Tweed.

They took a villain that they had every right to make evil and give a nasty death scene, and instead made him a sympathetic, human character. IMO this is the best Disney dark age movie because of this.”

9. A great one.

“Edward Scissorhands.

I can make it through the entire movie until they show him in the house alone making snow. It kills me!

Even though I HATE actors in old person makeup, when she says “before it never snowed, and now it does” I sob.”

10. Emotional.

“The montage at the end of And The Band Played On…

Where they showed all the people who died of AIDS always kills me. Princess Di was alive when the movie was made, and they had a video of her at an orphanage with HIV+ babies.

She did so much to normalize the humanity of people with AIDS back then. Touching and cuddling those babies when hardly anyone would. And knowing that she’s gone now too gets me every time.

Plus the Elton John song the montage is set to is really emotional too.”

11. Breaking down.

“Steel Magnolias. When they are all in the cemetery and Sally Field totally breaks down.

She says something like “I’m so mad I want to hit something” and they say “hit Weezer” and it’s this moment where you laugh but tears are streaming down your face.”

12. Same here.

“All Dogs Go to Heaven.

I think I might even cry more the older I get…”

13. Big Fish.

“Big Fish

Don’t want to spoil it too much, but when everyone from the dad’s tales show up at the end gets me every time.”

14. A fountain of tears.

“Life is Beautiful.

The horror and brutality through the whole movie leaves me feeling cold, numb, and depressed.

Then the boy cries out “Mama!” at the very, very end, and the joy that mother must feel to find her child after all that brings all the buried emotions back up and out comes a fountain of tears.”

People Share What Movie Endings Make Them Cry Every Single Time

I have a confession to make, and it might make me sound strange…

I have a much harder time dealing with animals who are in pain and animals who die in movies than I do with actual human beings.

The scene in White Fang where he yells at his dog and makes it go off on its own…oh man…I can’t handle that kind of stuff. I saw that movie almost 30 years ago and I still get choked up. And it ends happily ever after in the end, so I don’t even know why I still get sad…

Are there certain movie endings that always make you cry?

Let’s get all sappy with AskReddit users.

1. I don’t think I can watch this.

“Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

I bawl from about halfway until the end..”

2. Good stuff.

“Kubo and the Two Strings.

The whole climax of that movie is emotionally devastating but the final scene with the villagers and then the lanterns on the water transitioning into the Regina Spektor version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps…that movie is so good.”

3. All torn up.

“That final shot of Monsters Inc. will always make me tear up.

When Sully pokes his head in and we hear Boo say “Kitty!” that’s just such a great ending.”

4. Gutted.

“The Grand Budapest Hotel.

The revelation that their shared happiness was short lived, the reminder that happy endings don’t always last, and that the old world the hotel represented had already long vanished in the darkness of war.

The way the plot’s nesting doll framing device pulls back out to the present, a young woman reading about it in a snowy graveyard.

Just guts me every time.”

5. Oh, man…

“The Iron Giant.

“You stay, I go. No following”

God d*mn…”

6. Gets you every time.

“Inside Out.

The scene when Riley comes home at the end always gets me.

The first time I watched this was on a plane. There is a phenomenon where people are more emotional when flying alone. It was not pretty.

I can’t imagine what other people were thinking watching me cry to a cartoon.”

7. All the feels.

“Mr. Holland’s Opus.

The way his former students all come back to pay tribute to him and perform the song he’d spent his entire career composing.

It always hits me in the feels.”

8. I’m not touching this movie.

“Marley and Me.

I only watched the whole movie once. I bawled my eyes out and since then, I only watch until they move into the “last” house because I wouldn’t be able to take it again.

Really cute movie up until that point though.”

9. A good flick.

“Train to Busan.

I made the mistake of watching it for the first time about 3 weeks after my son was born.

I had no idea what it was about except “zombies” and I bawled the entire last 10 minutes.”

10. Classic!

“It’s a Wonderful Life.

To my big brother George, the richest man in town.”

11. Underrated gem.

“October Sky.

Real good difficult-relationship-with-Dad stuff.

Gets me every time.”

12. Glory.

“Glory.

The last time I watched it I had to make a promise to myself to never watch it again for my emotional wellbeing.”

13. A great film.

“Stand by Me.

Always reminds me of my friend group in high school and how we slowly drifted apart.”

14. Here come the waterwoorks.

“I Am Sam.

It’s a heartwarming movie about a 40-year-old guy with mental disabilities and has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. He has a kid with a lady, who leaves him, making him raise a little girl on his own.

Child Protective Services takes the daughter away, and Sam, the 40-year-old guy, with the help of a lawyer, try to get back custody of his child.

It is so freaking beautiful! It gets me every time!”

15. Just something about it…

“When the sisters get back together at the end of “A League of Their Own”.

Something about it just always gets me in the feels…”

Okay, now it’s your turn!

People Share What Ruins a Movie for Them Every Single Time

If you’re a movie lover, there’s probably at least one thing that happens in films that really makes you mad and ruins the whole darn thing for you.

Mine is an unnecessary love story. If it doesn’t fit, just get rid of it!

Now I’m all worked up and I need to calm down…

Let’s see what ruins movies every time for AskReddit users out there.

1. The big blow.

“Fight scenes where someone make a big blow (usually the villain), but instead of finishing the deal by smashing the brains out they start talking, bragging or some other cocky sh*t.

And whoops, the fight is back on like nothing happened…”

2. Annoying.

“Having to constantly have my remote in hand to turn down the absurdly loud action scene, to then have to crank the volume for the next dialogue that is far too low.

I’m sick of it.”

3. What’s the point?

“Added love story to an adaptation of a book with no love story.

(cough) The Hobbit (cough).”

4. Yeah, we see it.

“Badly implemented product placement.

Product placement itself doesn’t bother me. If there’s a character driving a Toyota, or eating a Pizza Hut pizza, I don’t care.

If there’s a pointless shot in the movie that shows the Bud Light logo for 10 seconds, I mind”

5. I love you…

“Unnecessary love scenes where the main character and a side character fall in love just cause, despite having known each other for like five minutes.”

6. Beauty standards.

“When the movie calls for an ugly guy, they get an ugly guy.

When the movie calls for an ugly girl, they get a s*xy girl and dress her in dumpy clothes.”

7. Well, that doesn’t seem real.

“When it’s very obvious when someone isn’t actually having a conversation on the phone.

They just say their lines without giving enough pause for the other person to respond.

I also hate when you’re supposed to be looking at security footage but it’s clearly just a previous shot that’s had a filter put over it.”

8. That was easy.

“The bit where hackers take 20 seconds of furious typing to disable a country’s infrastructure.”

9. Not a fan.

“Action scenes with lots and lots of cuts, that make it obvious (or appear like) the actors can’t do the fight choreography.”

10. The whole shebang.

“When the premise for a major conflict in the movie is something that any sane person would have just said “oh no there’s a misunderstanding” and they all have a laugh and go on with their days…but instead it turns into some convoluted drama.

Roger Ebert called it The Idiot Plot, where a ten-second conversation would have eliminated the need for the movie.”

11. We gotta hurry!

“When there is a timer and it takes longer to count down than the time that was called/shown. It drives me crazy.

Generic example, 50 seconds until a bomb explodes. Dialogue for 30 seconds. Timer is showing 30 seconds left. More dialogue for 40 seconds. Timer is at 5 seconds.

Quick one-liner, bomb defused with one second to go.”

12. Okay, it’s over.

“When all you have to do is beat the boss and the entire army just collapses.

Pretty much every alien and robot-using invasion has this hive concept.”

13. This doesn’t look right…

“When there’s a 20+ year age gap between the leading actor and actress and it’s not addressed in the movie, especially when the movie pretends like they’re around the same age.

“We’re both experienced, leading scientists in our fields, even though I look like a grizzled war veteran and you’re fresh off the set of High School Musical.””

14. This person has some thoughts.

“I’ve got six things get me every time:

Motivation. The antagonist has to have a motivation that the audience can understand, and perhaps even sympathize with. The cardboard, “I’m a bad guy, because I like being bad and being bad is good – GRRRRR!” is so tiresome. I’ll even accept the “banality of evil” like your Adolph Eichmann’s, but the ones who make a display of relishing being bad? Not so much.

Violence without consequence. Sure, the good guy got beaten within an inch of his life, but the next day he’ll get up and mete out justice, where he would normally be looking at 3 months of PT/OT. I have friends who’ve been on the wrong end of a physical trauma. It’s not pretty.

War without consequence. War is brutal and ugly, and lots of people die in it. This should include multiple key characters in your movie. Not just the “we’ll give this guy screen time with the stars and he’ll be the one we kill off”. Saving Private Ryan was fantastic in this regard, because they were willing to kill off characters and you cared when they did.

Timing/monologuing. Nobody delays the start, middle, or end of a fight for a monologue. If someone is intent on killing someone, the moment that opportunity comes, they’re probably going to take it without launching into a 3 minute speech and give them time to rally.

Guns and gunfights that defy physics. The pistol that launches a guy 3 feet backwards when shot. The gun with a suppressor that makes a sound like a mouse farting from across the street. The guy who dies instantly from a gunshot to the chest. The gunfight in a confined space where everyone isn’t deafened at the conclusion.

“BASED ON A TRUE STORY” is so abused. There’s time when you have so much to tell that you have to abbreviate it or change the story to keep the key elements. HBO’s Chernobyl is an example where they had to consolidate multiple characters into Ulana Khomyuk, and that’s fine. But when there’s a tapestry of fiction to make the thread of truth interesting, I’m out.”
