“Drinking From Obviously Empty Cups”: 50 Unrealistic Movie Details That Frustrate Viewers
Many of us love watching films as a form of escapism. I don’t really want to know what it’s like to run an empire selling illegal goods or to get stranded in the forest after a plane crash. But it’s fascinating to immerse myself in these stories through a screen!
However, if a movie is meant to be set in our world, audiences will only truly connect to the characters if they’re believable. That's why cinephiles on Reddit have been discussing the most unrealistic and eye-roll inducing choices directors make that immediately take viewers out of a story.
It’s understandable for artists to take some liberties when writing scripts, but it’s difficult to take the plot seriously when the hero can magically survive dozens of life-threatening injuries. Enjoy scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote the film details that frustrate you too!

Yeh. Male characters going through living hell, battles, what-have-you in male-oriented movies. Chick-flicks, the gal is always a 20-year-old lawyer, ad exec or successful business owner, blonde and living in a high-rise condo or big, two-story house alone that the guy falls for. Or, an unrealistically young and gorgeous prostitute. Movies, I swear. That's why Conan the Barbarian will always be my favourite love story of all times. It's far more realistic for me.

No one could ever figure out all the caps and lower cases, numbers and symbols that would spell out a random theme of words I have and some with backwards spellings. Apparently none of that actually matters, as passwords appear as encrypted codes that could still be figured out if a hacker really wanted to take the time to do it.
BeesEelsAndPups 8 months ago (edited)
I use a password manager for everything. My passwords all look like "SDsF*&KHa34d5WElajFhsdfi8Dywe#R$" and I have no idea what they are myself. The password to my password manager is always just 5 random words that I re-generate every 6 months. Good luck guessing that. Also, it uses multi-factor auth, so you'd also need to have my phone on you.
David 8 months ago
So basically if your password manager is hacked you lose all your passwords. I keep my passwords offline except for when I need to enter them for the site(s) they are used for. You can google up multiple instances of various passwords managers being compromised.

In the Navy one command got really into making sure everyone had good passwords. They were using hacking software inside the firewall, and would suspend your account if they could get in. Literally I would open word close my eyesy and randomly hit keys with or without hold shift to create my password. They hacked it and my account ws locked. I went and said create my password for me, and it was literally my last name, one of the first rules of what not to do. But again that is using hacker software not just guessing.
Just_for_this 8 months ago
That's not your fault, at all, and a complete own goal on their part. ANY account that requires a secure PW should block any brute force attack which is the (mostly) only way hacking tools can gain access for randomly generated PW's unless there is a vulnerability in their programming or additional attack vectors.

If you can figure out my passwords by looking around the room...any room, then you won't need my password for anything because you'll know the winning lottery number for every drawing, you'll know when everyone is going to die, you will have the ability to know everything about everything. The only way you're getting my passwords is to spend a few minutes in my head. Do that and you still won't need them because you'll run from the room screaming.

Something I noticed years ago and when I point it out, everyone sees it. Spaghetti. Spaghetti - or some pasta dish - is served in over 90% of films and TV shows. I've even seen it in animated programs. This dates back decades and I've seen it in foreign movies, too. What is with the spaghetti and filming???
Don Adams 7 months ago
Shows and movies usually require several takes to get all the close ups and such, so there is no real life continuity. Some dinner scenes on Blue Bloods would take 6 or more hours to finish. My guesstimate is that spaghetti does not show consumption as much as meat, and it probably lasts longer under the lights. Also, you avoid the constant scraping of someone cutting their steak or toast breast (Blue Bloods went to plastic cutlery to avoid it).

Along the same lines, supposedly full boxes or whatnot that should weigh way more than the actor is physically showing. The most egregious case that I still cannot get over to this day- in the movie Kelly's Heroes they blast open a bank and find the gold they've been seeking. They're all in these portable wooden boxes. They break one open to confirm and it's filled with gold bars. Euphoria ensues and then we watch them moving the boxes to a truck. Those boxes should weigh 100 pounds minimum each, but it's painfully clear there's nothing in them. You even see one get inadvertently shifted in the box pile demonstrating that they're empty. Anyway, I've got it off my chest. Love that movie except for that stupid detail.

Didn’t fully knock myself out but I haven’t been to the doctor either. I figured that checking vision, pupil dilation response, no headache, no nausea, was good enough. However, I let my closest friend know what happened and asked them to check in with me daily. If I don’t respond promptly to the check in, please drive over and take me to ER. So far, so good. But you’d be a fool to follow my example. I openly admit I *should* have gone to ER.

He wasn't happy, as when she hung up, she didn't put the handset back on the cradle right, so when he tried to call back, all he got was a busy signal.

In a former life I was a volunteer firefighter and we responded to a car fire. the car had been stolen and the thieves tried to get rid of the evidence. they stuffed a rag in the gas tank then set fire to the brush the car was sitting in. When we got the fire out the rag was still there, hanging from the gas tank. If you really want to set a car on fire what you need to do is... maybe I should not share that info. I was a training officer so I did set several cars on fire. Not one of them exploded (even after dumping gasoline into the interior). I was caught in a gasoline flashover once on the scene of a truck fire. I was uninjured but we did have a special training session on what not to do at the scene of a vehicle fire (one of the firefighters, not me, did something stupid).

Never pull a weapon if you're not prepared to use it right then and there. If the other person is experienced in self defence or attack, then you have no time at all before they close the distance between you, take the weapon, and use it on you. If you are closer than about 10 feet from someone, your chances of being able to shoot you before they are withing grabbing range of the gun are next to zero. It is shocking just how quickly you can go from feeling in charge of the situation to being dead.

When I worked for TSA (2012 to 2017), they did a full FBI background check on me, because we all had federal government security clearances. The paperwork was extensive, to say the least, and went back a couple generations. Most of my older relatives are dead, so that wasn’t an issue. But, being married to an Englishman made my check take longer, because they had to liaise with MI-5 to check him and his family’s records, and it took a bit of time. Needless to say, everyone on either side of the Atlantic is clean as a whistle, so of course I got my clearance. Unfortunately, one of the people hired with me didn’t pass. They had an arrest on their record for burglary that they neglected to mention. The sad thing about it was that it happened when they were just barely 18, and their lawyer had advised them to apply to have it expunged from their record. But they neglected to file the paperwork on time, so lost their chance. They were 18, so definitely young and dumb. Anyway, they were immediately let go from TSA. For those who don’t know, TSA does security checks on people’s luggage, and having a burglary on your record, regardless of how long ago it was, doesn’t bode well for you doing open bag luggage checks, if you get my drift. THAT’S how federal government security clearances go.

People dying immediately, as soon as they are shot, stabbed, etc. In reality, this is extremely unlikely for anything other than a perfect shot to the head or heart. Why can't we hear the moaning and gurgling, and see the shooting victim writhing and bleeding out as the hero tiptoes past him?

Well, I would like to point out that it’s quite the opposite n Indian movies. The people can’t die fast enough, there’s a really crazy type of plot armour. Indian actors somehow take a knife stab here, a gun shot there, a punch here, a scrape there, and still find the ability to run and move like normal, and then live to tell the tale. That’s what annoys me, not the post above.

They're not going to give free advertising to a brand. If a character asks for a specific brand, the brand has paid for product placement. For the same reason, if you look at the cars that are used in movies you can generally tell if the car companies have paid for their models to be used depending on whether the cars' logos - on the bonnet/boot (hood/trunk) and steering wheel are clearly shown. Many cars used in movies are completely de-badged.

The concept of time is lost on filmmakers. Examples, both from The Dark Knight Rises, because I was watching it this weekend:
1. The Wall Street robbery - Sunny out when Bane and Co. go in. When Bane says, "Time to go mobile." they had 8 minutes to go. Dusk when they go out. Batman joins the chase and all of a sudden, night time! And the transmission of the laptop finished just as Batman got to it. So approx 15-20 minutes from sunny day to night time!
2. Stopping the bomb at the end - Talia says they have 11 minutes. Bomb timer shows approx 11:55 and counting down. [Stansfield][EVERYONE](http://i.imgur.com/tpiPYkd.gif)[/Stansfield] takes their little ol' time to get to their vehicles. The Bat shows up and there's still approx 10:55 left on the bomb timer. You mean to tell me that it only took 1 minute for Batman to get to the Bat and for Talia and him to catch up to the truck carrying the bomb? But wait, there's more! Batman and Catwoman taking out the other tumblers, timer now shows a little over 5 minutes. Talia crashes the truck, timer shows under 2 minutes. Batman hooks up the bomb to the Bat, makes out with Catwoman, talks to Gordon, and flies the bomb out into the water in under two minutes?!
