Unrealistic things that happen in films..

[BumbleBee120]

Recently I am noticing more than ever things that are so unrealistic and think it would be so simple to make more believable, is anyone else like this? 😂

• When someone pulls out their phone & presses one button and their instantly calling the right person!?

• How a sudden downpour of rain can just start with no warning!?

• Always the most extravagant meals on the table for every mealtime but the kitchen is never messy!?

No one ever needs the toilet.

They set up a date or a social event by saying ‘I’ll see you at 7’. WHERE?!!!

you go into labour suddenly and without warning, as you shop or have lunch. Then there’s a big gushing water water break and you have to get to the hospital pronto as your baby will be born within the hour.

Why would that be included though, TV programmes and films are reality documentaries, unless something is relevant to the plot it's never going to be shown.

A quirky IT guy can hack into anything.

If someone is wearing glasses, they will inevitably fall over, their glasses will fall off, and they will crawl around patting the floor going "my glasses, my glasses!". I've been wearing specs over 40 years and am dyspraxic - I have fallen over a lot. Never once have they fallen off my face when I hit the deck!

Parking issues and bad traffic. Nope. Just drive into town and pull up outside right where you want to be.

Arranging to meet someone - just say you’ll see someone on the weekend. No discussion of when and where.

You hear a noise or a demon in the night so get up and wander round in the dark for ages. No-one EVER puts the bloody lights on.

Not so much films but things like TV shows - where someone will be having a blazing row in their own home and the people upstairs/next door never hear. Or notice that 2 people are having an affair despite doing so openly in the local pub etc.

I knew full well my neighbour has had 2 blokes on the go for years. I noticed which car was parked on the drive when, and heard their activities through the wall. Also heard the argument when Blue Polo turned up unexpectedly, only to find White Fiesta with his girlfriend 😆

All the running and jumping about in high heels.
Nobody who might need to do that stuff is wearing stilettos.

People living in massive, immaculate homes and only ever doing lovely things - never actually working to pay for the big homes or cleaning them! Oh, and they're perfectly made up with beautiful hair and clothes to match.

There always has to be thunder and lightning when it rains, never just rain on its own.

People being hit by multiple cars and rolling over bonnets etc then get up and keep running.

@BumbleBee120

How a sudden downpour of rain can just start with no warning!?

guess you have never been to Australia.
But on a whole yes I agree.

Women take their glasses off. Suddenly they’re both beautiful AND have their eyesight magically fixed.

Three half hearted pumps on someone’s chest and a few tears not only has the power to bring them back to life from fatal injury, but have them open their eyes and asking ‘what happened?’

When someone is being followed, they never ever seem to notice, despite the fact that it's not remotely subtle.

Fights that go on for ages with loads of punches landing and whole bodies being thrown over furniture, smashed against walls etc., in reality, most people would be floored by one smack to the jaw, and actually punching someone really hurts your hand. But no, they pummel each other for hours then go on a date or something!

Multiple soldiers shooting and all missing their target!

1. speedial…
2. I have had this happen in more than one county.
3. my kitchen every day…I clean as I go.

For me it’s the girl sitting at a bar and they get approached by the guy and an hour later they are running out the door to take a moonlit walk in the park and share a slice of pizza! Like FUCK I would do that!

This! Not only soldiers but policemen and hardened criminals- all armed to the teeth, presumably not new to guns - can’t hit a barn door.

Never seen a fuel light come on or the car's collision avoidance taking over the braking mid car chase...

Or people walking around with a some of their lunch down their top.

People in films don't tend to drink much during the day either. If I was out there bashing baddies and running around saving the world/city/girl, I'd have to grab a bottle of water or lucozade from the Co-op occasionally to stay on form.

And yes, the lack of plans isn't realistic. "See you tomorrow", <phone down>... 🤷‍♀️

Regarding loos, they only feature in dramas for truly dramatic purposes like hiding drugs or escaping through a small window. Even adverts for loo paper rarely feature anything very bathroom use specific. Honourable mention needed for the Cushelle ad where the koala surprises a woman sitting on the loo with a cheery 'Helllo' 🤣

Children will go to their room as soon as they are asked/told to, with no fuss whatsoever.

Hair and make-up are still both perfect after a steamy session

And no tissue/wipe up required after said steamy session 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not a film but any random person who turned up in Waterloo Road always instantly knew the layout of the school despite never having even been to Rochdale/Greenock before, let alone the school!
