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!

This is Why “It’s A Wonderful Life” Flopped at the Box Office, and How It Ended Up a Holiday Classic

There’s a good chance your family has some kind of tradition when it comes to the movies you watch during the holidays. It might be children’s classics, like Charlie Brown or How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

It might be modern favorites like Christmas Vacation or A Christmas Story, or maybe you just love marathoning every Hallmark Christmas movie they can throw at you in the span of two months.

If you’re like my family, you enjoy mixing in an oldie or two, like White Christmas, Holiday Inn, Meet Me in St. Louis, and yes, It’s a Wonderful Life.

The story of George Bailey’s descent into despair and subsequent triumph over the certainty that everyone would be better off without him has become a tradition for many, and I don’t know about you, but that heartwarming ending gets me every single time.

It’s a little surprising to learn, then, that audiences originally panned the film so hard that it was considered a complete box office flop – this despite Academy Award magnet Frank Capra at the helm and America’s beloved everyman, James Stewart, in the starring role.

None of that mattered to audiences in 1946, and the flop was so bad that it killed Liberty Films, Capra’s production company.

Image Credit: Republic Pictures

Frank Capra had made a name for himself in the 1930s with hits like It Happened One Night and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He took a break during the war to produce propaganda films for the government, but in 1946 he was ready to jump back into producing films about the thing he loved most – freedom.

Liberty Films was born, and they decided their first film would be an adaptation of a short story titled The Greatest Gift (alternate title: The Man Who Was Never Born).

It was, of course, It’s a Wonderful Life, and with a $2 million budget, it was a huge risk.

The production process was fraught with drama. There were script rewrites, a bloated shooting schedule, and they have trouble keeping crew, all of which meant most of the budget was gone before filming even wrapped.

Image Credit: Republic Pictures

It’s a Wonderful Life released just after The Best Years of Our Lives, and it soon became clear that audiences and critics alike preferred the hard-hitting drama of the latter to the message of hope and the worth of simple values espoused by Capra and Co.

The Best Years of Our Lives won awards, it won the box office, and everyone forgot It’s a Wonderful Life ever existed. Capra sold his Liberty Films to Paramount and he only directed 5 more films in his career (none of which achieved what his pre-war movies did).

In 1974, though, a clerical error resurrected It’s a Wonderful Life from certain death on a dusty shelf.

The woman who owned the film’s copyright forgot to file for a renewal, and the movie entered public domain. Any television station could air the movie as often as they liked without paying a cent – and as you may have realized, networks aren’t shy about roping in viewers with – to quote Mr. Potter – “sentimental hogwash.”

People who were experiencing life after WWII wanted nothing to do with the sweet nostalgia of the film, but it turns out that audiences 30 years later had a strange sort of yearning for those days.

Image Credit: Republic Pictures

The Wall Street Journal spoke with Capra about the film’s revival after it was clear it was going to stick.

“It’s the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.

The film has a life of its own now and I can look at it like I had nothing to do with it.

I’m like a parent whose kid grows up to be president.

I’m proud…but it’s the kid who did the work. I didn’t even think of it as a Christmas story when I first ran across it. I just liked the idea.”

In 1993, the Supreme Court ruled that Republic Pictures, the film’s original copyright owner, could regain ownership of the movie. What that means is that now NBC is the only one who is allowed to show it, and they manage to show some restraint – they typically air it once or twice during the holidays.

So, there you have it. Proof that you really never can predict success, and there are no bad stories – sometimes you just have to wait 30 or so years to find the right audience.
