Things you've taken from films that weren't the point

[DoDoDoooooo]

Elsa and Anna's parents were shockingly awful...

Any others?

"A Beautiful Mind" helps me understand my schizophrenic son and I often recommend others watch it too to understand what his life is like. 💔

Me too.

Grease -‘you know, the only guy a girl can depend on is her daddy ‘ (Frenchie)

I struggled to see the point in Encanto at all 😂😂😂

Entirety of films like Die hard or series like 24, as long as you end up killing the bad guy you can break as many rules as you want in the process 😂

I think that's the point. It's not a public bus. There's a specific route that is plotted around specific children in rural areas. There's no public transport so they have this kind of bus. I'm in a rural part of the UK where there's not much public transport and children sometimes travel 40 miles to school so they are picked up and dropped off at their house by a school bus.

You don't need to look after your kids, they'll always be alright and will usually thrive without you.
Also regularly send your kids to spend time with tramps, bird/cat ladies and weirdos, they're usually better parents than you're capable of being.

What I took from Cars2 is truck and lorry are not exact equivalents in American and British English. There’s a really irritating line towards the end where Eddie Izzard’s character calls Mater (a small tow truck) a lorry. He’s most definitely not a bloody lorry.

It irritates me every time. And DS3 is cars obsessed so this is a regular irritation.

Why didn’t Eddie Izzard point out the line made no sense to a British person?

@Soubriquet EXACTLY! Why not a water birth you twits!! Absolutely loved both films though😆

r/GrandpaJoeHate is fully aware of this.

Beauty and the Beast, Stockholm Syndrome.

Robin Williams character in Mrs Doubtfire was a controlling Disney dad prick of the highest order. He can't face his ex wife moving on, after she left him because he was an absolutely useless husband, so he tricks his way into her home so he can sabotage her relationship and control the family.

And yet.... The point was supposed to be that he's the good guy?

Male hair dye! I don't know of any man in real life that has that awful uniform dark brown almost black hair dye that men of a certain age all sport in films!

It looks awful and I can't take the character seriously.

Welcome to the entire plot of Cobra Kai. You're welcome.

That's my night sorted

The carnivores in zootropolis must have been starving.

The clever guy in World War Z was smart enough to apparently solve what zombie problem but not smart enough to watch where he was walking when getting off the plane...

New on Sky - Last Seen Alive with Gerard Butler, his roots need doing!

When I watch Mrs Doubtfire I always notice how many resources are given to a family breakdown with no real safeguarding issues. Weekly visits to check on dads new life?!? They'd just get a phone call in reality (in the uk anyway)!

I would really like to be locked up in a cellar/ spend a night in a pub/go on the run with Rupert Penry Jones.

that time in films runs so much slower than real life, 5 minutes to detonation but the hero swims from depth, climbs an oil rig, swings one handed across monkey bars, stops for a rest while being shouted at and still manages to switch of the timer with one second to spare (Interceptor and others)

That dogs and cats living together would be mass hysteria.

The carnivores in Madagascar compromised by eating fish. Um, eating 30 cod is no better ethically than eating a zebra.

The only time I've ever been told to shhhh in a cinema was when I was angrily whisper-shouting this to a friend.

That it would be a complete freakout if your grandad could fight the bad guys like Liam Neeson can. You wouldn't ever want to not put sugar in his tea.

@TeaWithFlorence

such a good point re Mrs Doubtfire

Mary Poppins is a bossy, supercilious, gaslighting bitch

this made me laugh.

fantastic thread.

I always get annoyed by people keeping heels etc on in the house
