Films you see differently as an adult...

[LoveShitJokes]

I presume this has been done before but fuck it, it's Saturday night and I'm bored. So I'll start...

Mrs Doubtfire. As a child I saw Miranda as a boring, stuck up cow. As an adult I see her as a successful, independent woman exasperated with her man child husband who gives me The Ultimate Ick. And then some. I'm gobsmacked she ever married him. Stuart was a capable, equal partner not the villain I once thought him to be. Anyone else?

I think you are the one on here giving it way more thought than anyone else.

So she's an innocent teen girl and he's much older and sexually experienced then

they are both legal consenting adults. He was 24/25, hardly 50. I don't think that's a bad age gap in fairness.

Just followed that link, what a very sad life she had.
I always thought it was actually quite a realistic film though not necessarily with Bob being perceived as such a catch.

I always think of the sound of music. I thought the baroness was a real villain when I watched it when I was younger. Now I think she was hard done by. She's all set to marry and some dippy little nun gets the sewing machine out and that's the end of her. She handled herself with such grace too.

Interesting. I haven't seen this since I was about 10. I hated Meredith. Tbf the actress has one of the most smug annoying faces I've ever seen.

I hated the parents as well though. How could you just cut one of your children out of your life forever?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

No idea how I didn't see that the character was anything but a bully and hideous person.

Omg this this this

Scary Movie - thought it was so funny when I was younger. I saw abit of it on TV the other day and the Doofy character is just mocking people with special needs. I certainly don't find it funny now. Not just the Doofy character, it just seemed shit overall.

Nooooooooo! You are wrong. No discussion. Best movie ever. 😁

I thought that when I saw it. The husband is witty and kind and Trevor is a sleazy tosser.

Also Friends as Rachel almost always is in a tight fitting top with erect nipples. I really don't care about those real life occurrences, but it just makes me think of lecherous directors/producers sexualising the female characters.

Nooo Johnny has principles and anyway: ”I’m scared of walking out of here tonight and never feeling my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you”.

Gagung.

Pretty Woman however - I thought it was skeezy at the time it doesn’t look less skeezy now.

God, loads!

The one that springs to mind is The Santa Clause....one of my favourite Christmas films but now when I watch I think how nice Neil the stepdad is and how pathetic Scott the dad is constantly trying to make Charlie dislike Neil.

Mermaids. 15 year old girl with emotional problems wears her mother's dress and loses virginity to 26 year old man, meanwhile, the 9 year old sister is left unsupervised, gets drunk, falls in a pond and nearly drowns. 15 year old gets the blame. Watched this at 15. Thought it was hilarious!

So Friends… Joey is fine, he isn’t mean or lecherous to women or mean (is he?!), he’s sort of your neighbourhood friendly man-ho. Doesn’t pretend to be anything else or promise anything. But Ross… omg. Just mean and controlling, jealous and unkind to his exes.

Ghostbusters - watched for the first time this year. Why is bill Murray’s character SO mean to basically all women?! Why?? Like really hates them? So weird and unfunny.

When Harry Met Sally - similarly, Harry is a twat really. Him saying something nice (once) doesn’t change that. God the bar must’ve been so low in the 80s with romcoms.

the main thing about enjoying FB is understanding Cameron is the main character

Sorry, that sounded like a twatty reddit-style comment. I meant watch it from his perspective and it is great!

He didn't; he cared for her and patched her up after she was given a backstreet-coathanger abortion by some other bastard. He wouldn't have been risking his license.

Not a movie but the My So Called Life series. I loved Angela and thought her mum was a nosy, uptight snob. Now as an adult I'm Team Patti all the way!

Exactly my experience. I also notice how well-written it was because it’s still good now.

@Mirabai yep you are so right!!

Omg yes mermaids. I remember watching it and thinking how lucky she was with that guy as he was so hot, and seemed like such a nice guy helping out at the convent. But now he seems like a predator. Plus he must have bragged about it after - charlottes mum said at the hospital ‘oh we all know what you were doing. The whole town knows what you were doing’. How would anyone else know what happened in the bell tower when they were alone? From the nuns? And after everything they kept in contact - she said at the end they still write to each other.

Ah, I misremembered it then, it's been quite a while. Thanks

Loved it as a teen. The fact that a teen girl is popular with the boys once's she lost her virginity ewww
