In a way, this post is basically the movie version of shower thoughts. Bear with me. After Twitter user @jazz_inmypants asked people to share bothering movie details that aren't common knowledge, his thread received quite a few interesting insights.
For example, Grease (1978) might be described as a story that teaches you to change yourself until other people like you. And Belle's (Beuty and the Beast (1991)) neighbors are probably doing something shady if the village can support such an extensive bookstore when she's the only reader and doesn't even pay.
The tweet by @jazz_inmypants has already received over 30K likes and 1K comments, many of which filmmaking students could definitely rework into term papers.

OMG This is so mine.... and the fact that Charlie PREFERRED to take Grandpa Joe rather than his Mum whose life was a depressing painful prison.... It just made me want to smack that kid.
I know, I'm so angry that Charlie didn't take his mom who deserved a nice break from work, but instead his freeloader grandpa who could've been helping with the work all that time and just couldn't be assed
Load More Replies...No one said the grandparents were bedridden, did they? I always thought they stayed in the bed because it was warm there, and they were old.
I always saw it as bedridden until they had something to give them a reason to live again.
Load More Replies...For me it was the fact that they had 4 people in that bed. If they couldnt move, where were they going to the bathroom?
You didn't watch closely enough--he does not "bound" out of bed at all, he struggles, and only his love for Charlie gets him moving.
I absolutely thought the same thing! I have a physical disability and use a wheelchair and I couldn't believe this perfectly capable guy wouldn't want to get out of bed and help out! God knows I would and do!! I would have taken the mom for sure!!and when Charlie buys him tobacco? Are yea kiddin’ me?! Get a job, pops!!
Altogether, a film can seem incredibly complicated, but the reasoning behind every decision nearly always comes down to how it is working with the story and how it is affecting the viewer. With that in mind, the New York Film Academy has prepared some tips for reviewing a film and coming up with your own insights.
It's because we sound smart and they want N evil genius
Load More Replies...gaston's accent isn't british... or are we not counting him the villian?
Oh, and some villains like Cruella De Ville and Rattigan spot one because the movie actually takes place in London, so it totally makes sense. However, there is one particular exception to the rule--Tamatoa from Moana does not have a British accent--it's actually Kiwi (New Zealand) so there!
English sounding villains sound charming and intelligent. Aristocratic. ;P
I don't think Gaston had an English accent. In Pocahantas and Tarzan the villains WERE English so it stand to reason.
except for gaston, ursula, prince hans, and literally every other disney villian except for scar.
Yes even the characters like Pocahontas, Mulan, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, who absolutely would not have spoken English. Got to love Disney...
Watch it. "Once is necessary twice is preferable," the academy wrote. "Taking notes is also a good idea and will help the writing process by making it easy to refer to your in-the-moment thoughts and reactions."
Because he wanted to look deferent than his foster apes. He shave his beard with his deceased father's knife every day.
Exactly. Or something like that anyway. I remember there was an official explanation within the story itself. I admit, though, I didn't read the original.
Load More Replies...Also when he learns english from a english person why does he have an american accent?
As explained in other post it's because he is a main character hence he must have American accent. :)
Load More Replies...Not just a beard. He doesn't have body hair either. Like, does he wax?
Correct me if i am wrong, but aren't there indigenious people who don't have beard growth? It's in a jungle so might be indigenious people in South American rain forest?
Also, since he learns English from British people, why does he wind up with an American accent?
Such a good point! I always wondered that! Then I just found out there is a condition where people don't go through puberty and so don't grow facial or body hair. Maybe most Disney characters have that condition?
Not all people grow beards. Have you seen many photos of Native Americans with beards?
Express your initial thoughts and support your criticism. "Professional reviewers do not shy away from telling their readers whether they thought the movie was good bad or indifferent, and in fact readers come to rely on those reviewers whose tastes reflect their own when deciding whether or not to spend their time and money. Professional reviewers also have watched a lot of movies and can express why and how they came to their criticism. Be sure to back up your thoughts with specifics–a disappointing performance, a ridiculous plot, beautiful cinematography, difficult material that leaves you thinking, and so on."
Well, Santa does seem to only give expensive presents to rich kids, doesn't he? XD
3. Or his parents always take the gifts before he finds them and they resell them to make some extra money
But you can get free delivery if you have Christmas Prime.
Load More Replies...It's both didn't you know? If you're poor, even if you're a kid, and it isn't your fault, you're a naughty blight on society.
as a kid i always thought santa loved other kids more because i got cheap c**p compared to other children in my class.
But probably because he was poor. Santa don't go to the other side of the tracks.
Poor kids don’t get get presents. That was my reality as a kid, no christmas many times.
Evaluate the acting. "Many casual filmgoers will be inspired to see a movie if a favorite actor is in it, so you should probably spend a little space talking about the performances: seasoned actor in a new kind of role, brilliant performance from a rising star, excellence despite a lackluster script, dynamics in an ensemble, and so much more can be said about the actors in any given film."
Give Harvey a break. He's been hospitalized, is missing half his face and is probably hopped up on sedatives. Of course he's going to have trouble recognizing that his nurse is the Joker.
Harvey was so high on sedatives that he wouldn't recognize his mom. This is something what the hospital security should be blamed for.
Load More Replies...Wrong. He just woke up, so didn´t realized it in the 1st second. Check your "facts".
Well, real life nurses also have those big dark eye bags from the sleep privation 😬
Directing, cinematography, special effects... This is where your inner film geek can really shine. Consider the highlights or missteps of directors, cinematographers, costume designers and CGI magicians. What worked, what surprised, what fell short of expectations, are all great questions to address.
Danny actually puts way more effort into changing himself- joining the track team and putting in a lot of work- and when he shows up in his Letter jacket he gets teased for it instead of praised. I don't know why people get so worked up because Sandy changed her outfit. They both proved they were willing to make sacrifices for one another.
no one said this was about sandy. both changed themselves to make others like them.
Load More Replies...That isn't entirely accurate; Danny tried to change for her as well. Remember his varsity sweater at the end? And the fact the entire movie he wrestled with his reputation vs. his affection for Sandy.
Where did it say he didn’t? The tweet doesn’t specify
Load More Replies...Also, keep pressuring a girl and don't take no for an answer! ("Did she put up a fight?")
Yes! I have always thought this! Why does everyone love this movie?
My pet peeve is the fact that they couldnt cast people who actually look like high school kids. These "kids" look more like 30+ years old...
That is a common problem with many teen movies - the cast is too old. The satire movie Not Another Teen Movie did that on purpose. :D
Load More Replies...Ah, but in those days, smoking WAS a passage to adulthood. Not so much now,
Load More Replies...I perceived it as, don't bother trying to change yourself for someone. Be who you are and if you like each other, don't worry what others will say
this lady gets it. Oh thank the Goddess someone has a brain. xo
Load More Replies...It's also important to look at a film’s story from a structural viewpoint. Try to to keep in mind that the vast majority of films fall into the three-act structure: a beginning, middle, and end. It's not because the screenwriters are lazy, but because the formula simply works. In screenplays, the first thing you should look out for is the inciting incident. Generally, about 10 minutes into the film, there will be a moment that forces the protagonist to exit their comfort zone and start their journey towards a new goal. Around the thirty-minute mark, there is usually a major turning point. At this moment, the hero can't go back, that signals the beginning of the second act where the majority of the film will take place. Finally, around the ninety-minute mark, the second turning point will signal the film’s drive towards both its conclusion and resolution.
Of course, some films don’t fit perfectly into the three-act structure, but the vast majority of films do and you can start to get a sense of when important moments or changes will occur when you know the general format.
Did you know that this movie is based on the German book "Das doppelte Lottchen" from Erich Kästner? The girls are Luise and Lotte from Vienna and Munich respectively. The book was written around 1945 so the story makes much more sense regarding the timeframe. Today its stupid of course but back then it wasn't that easy to keep in contact when miles apart.
In the storyline of the book the parents divorced. That was a huge scandal in 1950ies Germany to have the topic divorce in a childrens book. Also Austria and Germany were two different countries again after 1945. Also, a working divorced mother was new back then. But that was accepted because due to the war there were many single mothers that raised their children alone. Mostly widows though.
Load More Replies...The girls grew up in London and California and still could switch unnoticed. In real life they would have used completely different accents.
I haven't seen the film in years but didn't they practice speaking with different accents?
Load More Replies...Yeah like how did the parents NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE that it wasn't their kid?
That happens a lot... Least this is me with my siblings I've never met.
I have always thought that too....Hey there are two of them, you take one and I will take the other one
Also, being ok with sending your children, who are under the age of 13, to travel across an entire country and overseas, respectively, to attend a summer camp. That doesnt seem like something most parents would be ok with
I really hated his character and Andy's friends. They sure jumped at the chance to get some goodies for free, but also constantly critizised her and made fun of her for her new job. What a bunch of s**t friends. She should have severed ties with all of them.
YES. The way he, a GROWN adult man, pouted like a spoiled toddler when she "missed" his stupid birthday was so off-putting. She was so busy turning down rich, handsome men's advances and rushing to get him a cupcake to celebrate that she was late...ohhh boo-hoo. Grow up, dude.
Load More Replies...I don't understand why everybody hates nate & andy's friends. Yes they are unsupportive af, but honestly andy is NOT HAPPY with her job, no matter how glamorous or dream job it looks. Miranda is downright toxic, manupulative and abusive boss. If my lover works in such environment I wouldn't be supportive too. And in the end of the movie Andy got a new job as a human interest journalist that she really loves.
A lot of movies and TV shows are really unrealistic in how they portray chefs.
Yeah they wrote a really s****y character. I loathed him, his screen time always gotten fast forwarded.
They were bad friends who were not supportive and understanding to Andy's job and duties
Also, he supposed to be a chef and he burns the grilled cheese he made for Andy?!
On the way there someone asks her where she's going and she replies: "to the book shop". Maybe the book shop owner allows renting books as well..
Load More Replies...It's a library. The guy even comments that she's taken it out (read it) before.
She wasn't the only reader, just that it was unusual for a WOMAN to be such an avid reader.
There is nothing in the story that says Belle is the only reader, only that Gaston isn't one and finds it peculiar that a girl would want to read instead of be with him. Book shops in the old days also rented books, not just sold them outright.
Idk the guys old. Maybe people buy books. Maybe its just a hobby for the old man.
There's a hilarious fanfic by TrudiRose where the bookstore is actually a front for an illegal goods smuggling operation. The bookseller actually hates Belle because she's the one person who actually reads and goes into the store quite often. Here is the link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9653793/1/Don-t-Judge-a-Book-By-Its-Cover
One or both parents are actually dead or die during the movie. Some serious daddy/mommy-issues there at Disney
after Disney made his first movie and got money, he bought his parents a house that unfortunately had an undiagnosed gas leak (1930's) and his mom died in the house. Yeah, a LOT of unresolved issues there
Load More Replies..."Bad parenting" could be the title of many movies... "Star Wars" would be renamed "Bad Parenting in Space"... "Lion King" would be "Bad Parenting with animals", etc.
I never understood why in Sleeping Beauty they sent her away when they knew the curse was for her 16th birthday, they could have had 16 years with her / preparing to keep her safe?
In the original fairytale they do just that. They burn all spinningwheeles and I think they cut all the roses or something.
Load More Replies...Agree about Sid's mom, she's either not-so-great herself (s****y people have kids, too) or she's done trying. Disagree for the rest, though. They all try to do the best with the information and abilities they have at that moment, believing they're protecting their children. I've been seeing Disney movies a lot differently since becoming a mom.
Elsa's parent were just panic noticing their daughter have overwhelming power which she can't control. Aurora parents send her away to try to protect her from the curse. Both are loving parents who did mistakes due to their love for the child, I don't consider them as villains though...
Elsa's parents just made her believe she shouldn't "feel". It was the Duke of Wesleton who first used the word "monster".
Technically, it was the three fairies who suggested to King Stefan to send Aurora away with them for 16 years because they knew that simply burning all the spinning wheels in the kingdom wouldn't stop the curse from occurring.
The 3 fairies & Maleficent represented the seasons, Stefan represented order & the Church, and Aurora (Dawn) was allegorical to awakening femininity & maturity...sequestering the daughter represented masculine control over feminine ideation & identification, only to be brought out by sealing her into a relationship with an acceptable male consort. -Dr M
Load More Replies...Clearly, part of the Santa magic relies on parental brainwashing that gives them false memories of purchasing the gifts in question. Obviously.
Wait...THAT'S what bothered you about this movie? How about the fact that his character KILLS Santa, goes to the North Pole and not one single elf grieves the loss of the previous Santa. I mean, is Santa just THAT expendable that when a new guy shows up, no one is surprised or even concerned about what happened to the other one? Yikes!
Also, Santa makes rookie mistakes and falls off the roof when he gets spooked like it's the first time in hundreds of years that someone has woken up and asked wtf he's doing. So I have a theory that Santa dies really often and the Santa that fell off the roof was a newbie.
Load More Replies...This movie was roughly based on an idea Tim Allen had when riding high on cocaine for three days so take it as you will
IKR!! This question has been in my mind since the day I saw movies about Santa Claus, not just The Santa Clause series.
The director said they knew about that and decided that "you've been jealous of blank since the 4th grade" was a monster saying. What bothered me is they make all these awesome friends, say stay in touch at the end and we never see them again because they didn't exist when the first film was made. I really wanted a scene at the end where they all got back after a holiday to find Monsters Inc is now powered by laughter 😂
They did spray him with Lysol a few times lol... plus he got wet many times as well
Load More Replies...Cover the stench of rotting flesh with the stench of a deodorant shunning hippy.

Their noses were chock full of cocaine, hence the inability to smell
And rigors mortis sets in a far hours after death so it would be impossible for them to move any body parts.
My husband had to help the two guys from the funeral home move my uncle out of the recliner onto a stretcher. And those guys are pros and my husbands really strong. Crazy difficult.
Load More Replies...They also don't tell you that Hera drove Hercules insane so that he kills his wife Megara and his 5 children
TwiceRice23 is a douche. You can tell me all the tid bits you know about Greek Mythology! It's fascinating!
Load More Replies...If the screenwriters had stayed true to the known manuscripts of Ancient Greek mythology, this could never have been a Disney production, nor would it have earned anything better than an R rating. Like it or not, Greek mythology generally is not for the little kiddies. So a highly sanitized, selective and revisionist retelling of the stories is the only path forward if you want to make and distribute a childrens’ cartoon about “Hercules.” But then again, Greek Mythology is called “mythology” because it’s all make-believe in the first place, so who cares if the stories change in the retelling?
In summary they used the names and made their own story
Load More Replies...I've always been bothered by US-movie adaptations of European literature and historical publications, like in this case a story drawn from Greek mythology. Either use it accurately or make up your own stories, just don't call it Hercules and then make a new, more "suitable" thing out of it. Same with Little Mermaid (a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen) The Three Musketeers (a book by Alexandre Dumas) etc.etc.etc...
I don't understand the argument that they changed so much of the story to make it kid-friendly. I was 7 when this came out and I didn't like it because I already knew the mythology and the movie had it a*s-backwards. There are plenty of ways to tell the actual mythology to kids, without going into the nasty details. Americans coddle their kids too much.
They changed a lot of things in Disney movies. In the real story of Ariel she doesn't get the prince and slowly dies of sea foam. In Cinderella she kills her step mother and tortured her step sisters. So this doesn't surprise me that they would change the movie Hercules as well
Or The Hunchback of the Notre Dame. That shouldn't end well. I love Disney movies, but I would prefer them to make up original stories instead of altering classics.
Load More Replies...IDK, why people are saying the original myths would be inappropriate. I read Bulfinch's mythology at around 7 or 8. Nothing was explicit, just Zeus turned into a swan and had a baby with some woman, or a bunch of people were killed during the Trojan war. No need to change the story, just don't go into unnecessary detail. I did spend a lot of time trying to figure out the swan thing though.
Actually..Zeus didn't impregnate Leda (the woman impregnated by the swan form of Zeus) to produce Hercules. He originally slept with Danae who gave birth to Perseus. Perseus son ,Electryon, fathered Alcmene who, in turn, slept with Zeus to produce Hercules. So Hercules was Zeus's great great grandson and his son...and cousin. How twisted is that?
Load More Replies...It was easier to digest for kids that way, I guess... Sure, the mythology is screwed up but Zeus was written to be a likeable character... The truth would have blown that out of the window. A "normal" Mom/Dad dynamic is much easier to understand for kids...
Kids watching Disney step mothers being monsters for ever, it wouldn't be a problem. Disfunctional families are "normal" in disney's univers. Kids know stories like Tom Thumb they perfectly understand that parents of heroes can be fallible.
Load More Replies...Also in the original stories hedes was more or less a better person than Hera
Yeah, but he is supposed to be only 18 I think. Swayze is not 18, but neither is Jennifer Gray. 18 and 16 is not too bad.
It was the summer she was turning 18 and Swayze's character is 25.
Load More Replies...Baby is 17 and Johnny is 25. (Obviously not the real ages of the actors.) Not an issue for the times as the age of consent for marriage was 14 at the time. That did recently change. This is based on the life of a real person. It's a bit weird for us today, but this is less strange for me than Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13-yr old cousin.
People found Jerry Lee marrying his 13 year old cousin weird even back then.
Load More Replies...This was one of the (many) things that bothered me about the Twilight series. A hundred-plus year old guy getting with a teen-age girl? Seriously, I don't care how "hot" and young he looks, that's just EEEEW
He wasn't into her, not until he got to know her as a person. Their age difference wasn't too large, *and* the movie was dealing with a lot of moral gray areas. This was more like Wuthering Heights than your average feel-good rom-com. To me, the takeaway was that age does not guarantee good decisions; Baby's older sister makes terrible choices despite being older.
It's specifically said in the movie that she is 18. She just looks young
The day before you turn eighteen vs the day you turn eighteen your brain changes drastically. Think if we could make adult decisions at 17 and 364 days old?!
Load More Replies...hmmm... do we know that in the original timeline Biff tried that? It was only because Marty was there that the two of them were parked, and Biff turned up. It's possible he didn't attack Lorraine in the original '55. Just a thought...
In the revised timeline, Biff works for George. So the bothersome detail is still there. What guy would hire the HS bully who attempted to rape his wife (or anyone!)???
Load More Replies...My boyfriend wont stop watching this movie, this and ghost busters are his go to movies
I never understood watching same movie or TV show over and over again. I must add here, it has nothing to do with spoiler factor. You can tell me whole story of a movie or a show and I'll still watch it and enjoy it. But once I finish watching that's it for me.
Load More Replies...80's Cinema had a really liberal attitude to rape, I watched Blade Runner the other day for the first time, the main character flat out rapes the female lead and it's treated as normal similar thing in Breakfast club one of the character "pussy grabs" one of the girls they later date, none of this s**t would fly in the real world.
He's talking about Biff at the beginning of the first Back to the Future. Watch it again and see how creepy Biff is.
Load More Replies...Because it didn't happen in the original timeline. George and Lorraine got together because Lorraine's father hit George with his car.
But biff still raped her. She's so different before and after marty goes back
Load More Replies...That would have made the movies so much more terrifying...or hilarious...one of the two.
Even as an adult it makes me scared of the dark for a couple days
Load More Replies...You obviously paid no attention to Friday the 13th: Part 2. It's clearly explained in that movie.
I haven't seen it since I was a kid, true story, my 16 year old uncle took me to see it in the theater, so I don't remember. What was the reason?
Load More Replies...Always wondered about this. So did Jason NOT drown and actually lived alone in the woods only to see his mom get beheaded? If the scare at the end of the first Friday the 13th is legit, then he did grow up in the woods to be the killer he is now. Makes sense I guess. Lol
There is a YouTube channel dedicated to these little details in super hero films (and other). How It Should Have Ended. Very skillfully made funny videos.
Thanos actually addresses this in the movie, "You should've gone for the head". Thanos-hea...e2e002.jpg
That's in reference to Thor, not Doctor Strange. Thor should have gone for the head with his ax.

IW and Endgame are both full of plotholes, so disappointing. I have never expected Marvel flicks to be that smart, but the amount of suspension of disbelief Endgame's logic-defying plot required was too much.
I was asking myself the same question. They would have to move the portal.

I think this happened in both movies ... pretty sure after six hours of them fighting over this gauntlet the fights just blend.
Load More Replies...I was wondering why Dr.Strange didn't just cut his hand off Or when he looked at all the possibilities didn't he see the one where starlord gets in the way
I was thinking the same thing. I don't remember a son at all?
Load More Replies...1: the MOVIE focused on the father/daughter duo because it was important, 2: It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to have a quieter relationship than fathers and daughters, and 3: this was reflected in the son's callous and independent attitude later in the movie.
Well, it makes a change from movies where the father ignores his daughter and focuses on his son. Those kinds of movies are far, far more common.
Duhhh. It's a movie. Not that that would happen in REAL LIFE.
Sounds a bit like The Punisher. I was like 'there was a son?' when he finally got mentioned. I think we can guess who the golden child was in that family.

Load More Replies...Or how about when they answer a ringing phone they often say hello before the phone is by their head?
Uhm ... I actually do delete old conversations on my phone regularly, if possible! Because, if I lose my phone or it gets stolen, I don't want others to be able to read the conversations.
I see a lot of dumb comments of how unrealistic movies are. Before posting a comment try imagining a movie depicting someone stopping to charge his/her phone when it won't add to the story. Or checking the soiled toliet paper after wipping one's behind. You don't need all realism to be real.
Check out a movie called "Searching.." very good semi real seeming technology interaction.
To be fair, the size of houses in most American movies and TV series' is ridiculous. A teacher and a nurse living in a massive house? No wonder immigrants think it's the place to be.
So that's not the size of a regular house in the US? I was already parking to jump the wall. Que decepción.
Load More Replies...This is very common in films and tv from America, from what I've noticed. The reality would be too depressing apparently!! A good examples is the flat in 'Friends.'
The apartment in "Friends" did at least have a reasonable explanation. Monica and Rachel were essentially squatting in Monica's grandmother's rent controlled apartment. So they weren't paying very much for rent. Relatively speaking
Load More Replies...BREAKING NEWS: Nancy Meyers movies are unrealistic portrayals of human existence so that we can escape from our own reality for 2 hours.
Her husband was wealthy, and she got the house in the divorce. Problem solved.
The storyline is she has waited numerous years to have that work done, owns a very busy large bakery cafe, and its the house they raised the kids in, as in two income household...nothing odd there at all.
And its perfect, not a thing out of place. Any real single mom of three kids would not have a perfectly pristine house. This house looks like they have an amazing housekeeper. There would normally be at least some clutter on tables or homework around. Shoes on the floor, toys everywhere.
Think you’ll find this is a huge problem on every single American tv show and movie. Take any sitcom they’re all set in New York, all characters have huge huge apartments (for New York standards) and work normal or low income jobs. Most of em don’t have rent controlled homes either?!
To be fair, Her ex husband was a high priced attorney. Im sure some of the money was alimony and child support. Plus she had a super posh bakery.
Well everyone knows men can't be raped... Yes, that is sarcasm...
Yes! This bothered me so much, and I don't understand why people don't realize that's what it was, other than the fact that people forget men can be raped, too.
I was raped when I was 19. I repeatedly told her "no" but she put it in anyway. I ended up having an orgasm so I am confused.
Maybe it was "supposed" to be, but I did not take it that way at all. That whole movie was kind of disturbing.
Yes, this bothered me, too. It wouldn't be funny if he raped her. Double standard.
Yes, that has always bothered me, too. It wouldn't be funny if he raped her. Double standard.
Holly from breakfast at Tiffany's is basically a prostitute. Just had to say that sorry...
Yeah..that scene is uncomfortable to watch. I'm actually baffled that it made it to the final cut of the movie.
It was to keep his mind relaxed and clear so he wouldn’t be in a panic when they arrived and instead could go full send on the booby traps
The parents only realise he's missing once their on the plane in the first movie
People constantly leave food at their plates in movies and series. Almost always they don't even touch the food they ordered. It kind of bothers but not to go whining about it. I see this is a little different since he made it but come on, it's mac and cheese. Not Lasagna.
I've seen it at least twice but can't remember much of it

Essentially a B movie. I love those. A bag of popcorn and someone to make fun of them with, great times
It's a Hollywood film. Plots aren't important. Just good looks, special effects and fighting.
Or maybe you should stop watching superhero movies if you're going to get too picky about realism. I don't rememeber the movie exactly but he disappearing from a place to appear later in another far distant is nothing more than a narrative license filmmakers take. Imagine he walked whatever length to the nearest town, he worked there as a farmer to earn enough to the nearest city where he getsa hold of his bank accounts. Being a multimillionaire that shouldn't be so difficult to do. There he buys a ticket to Gotham. Do you need to see all that? No, that would be boring or unrelevant to the story. Also to shorten a long story. That's why you don't need to tell that part. Moreover you can excercise your creativity to come up with a scenario if you so badly need it.
Bruce Wayne is such a multimillionaire that he is a billionaire.

Jenny was broken from childhood. This may bother you but it happens a lot in real life so it's not unrealistic.
I see the film as a comparison between the course of the lives of two different kinds of mentally ill people. He was a typical special needs kinda kid, but functioning well growing up within society. She is seemingly normal on the outside, but suffers from depression and lives a disorderly life and never had proper and healthy relationships with people. I think the author wanted to explore these contrasts.
Actually, not the author so much. The book is nothing like the movie. The book is a major disappointment and I felt really insulting to both sets of people

"he couldn't handle fatherhood" ??? The guy was about 100 times more successful than her in every way. I'm pretty sure that was not the reason.
Load More Replies...I think it is true to her character. She always tried to deal with her issues without involving Forrest, even though she failed many times.
But, how do you expect that She told Him abouth the kid wile he was running cross the country??? IT was the 80's, the cellphones were something New and he doesn't carry one on his triple. She tells him of the child just because she saw him on televisión.
Jenny did not have the same feelings for Forrest as he did since they were children. They were good friends yes, but she was not in love with him. On the other hand she let him go off and do his thing and didnt burden him with the pregnancy, but he never knew about the child which was not fair to him.

This movie was touted to be one of the most frightening ever made. I chuckled all the way through—better than a stand-up comedy show. 😂
Disagree. The point of the whole movie was Bueller getting Frye to live beyond his fears.
Many of those fears were legitimate, so Bueller was hassling Frye for acting like a normal person.
Load More Replies...There is a movie theory that Cameron had multiple personalities and Ferris was one of them. And that this is the origin movie of Edward Norton's character in Fight Club. ;)
Yep. The whole movie is Camerons spiral into insanity and Ferris is all the things he wants but is too afraid to be/do.
Load More Replies...I disagree ... Ferris is the opposite of Cameron. Cameron had a tough childhood and Ferris showed him that he didn't need to be defined by his parents expectations. Plus, who wouldn't want a friend like Ferris!
Remember, in Diary of a Wimpy Kid Greg is a horrible "friend" to Rowley!
No seatbelts. Speeding. She’s almost completely facing backwards. Yeah, ok. 🤣
well I have watched movie twice and the reason why Ferris was doing it was so Cameron didn’t marry the first girl he likes so he can have a good life. He made Cameron not depressed in the end.

There are actually a few good reasons why the eagle plan would have been a lot riskier. 1) The Ring has a will of its own and often drops from the grasp of whomever holds it. If, during flight, the Ring fell, the heroes would most likely never find it again before Sauron did -- especially if it fell over Mordor or the Dead Marshes. 2) While maybe not as strong as the Eagles in the air, the Ringwraiths are quite comfortable in the skies and I'm certain the Ringbearer would be less safe aloft than on the ground, where there are hiding places and escape routes. 3) As an intelligent race of Middle-Earth, the Eagles are as susceptible to the corrupting influence of the One Ring as any other. Discord would have been sown in the ranks of the Eagles and the Heroes, and that is another complication that Gandalf probably wouldn't have risked.
And..in the books, they said that the Eagles were a neutral race that did not get involved in the affairs of other groups in Middle Earth. They wouldn't have gotten themselves involved until after the battles were over.
Load More Replies...The Eagles were not just some animals that Gandalf could do whatever he wanted with. They are their own race and while Gandalf was their friend he was not their master. Saving Frodo and Sam was a favour. It would have been a great risk to fly to Mordor, because Sauron would have seen them and sent the Nazguls after them. Going by ground gave Frodo and Sam cover they wouldn't have had in the air. All of this is better explained in the book. It would have been good if the script had done a bit more to explain the logic behind it.
Do they actually mention the possibility in the books? Been a while since I've read them, I don't remember that part.
Load More Replies...I’m so sick of hearing this ridiculous argument. First of all, why would you think the eagles would agree to fly into Mordor on a possible suicide mission? Second, the risk is too high. Sauron would undoubtedly see them coming and send the Nazgul after them. What if in the ensuing battle they dropped the Ring in Mordor? Would Frodo willingly give the Ring to them? A halfling is the one to stand - the prophecy matters. Jesus, get a grip with the eagles. Stop relying on the silly movies and read the books, the history, the languages, before you, a regular dumbass, start to believe you’ve discovered some massive loophole that a genius like Tolkien would overlook. F**k.
THIS! I get to annoyed when people bring up the Eagle thing, because Sauron wouldn't definitely just let them fly in??
Load More Replies...It does discus this in The Hobbit. The eagles where a proud race that strictly preferred not to much about in the afairs of other races. They could not be looked to for help. Now TOM BOMBADIL ... ;0) LOTR FANS ...
Super nerd comment from me, they do consider Tom Bombadil in the council but say he doesnt recognise the importance of the ring and would most likely lose it as it has no power over him...although Tom doesnt really fit into LOTR much in tone and purpose, Tolkien probably only put him in as his character was one of the first stories he wrote and appears in a few shorts and poems before he wrote hobbit etc.. For reference he was originally envisioned as a spirt of the (english) countryside, one of the few actual analogies Tolkien intended. He was pretty clear that LOTR was not a metaphor for war or facisim or anything else, just a story and the reader could read into it whatever they wished. Unlike his mate CS Lewis and his heavy jesus banter...
Load More Replies...The point was to stay undetected from Sauron. That's why a creature so petite and insignificant had to do this task without the too obvious huge flying eagles. The eagles would ruin the element of surprise whilst Aragorn was attacking the hordes of Sauron in the Black Gates.
So my comment was deleted because it made sense. Perhaps people need to read the books to understand why the movies went in the direction they did..because the book explains why they couldn't take the Rocs (not eagles.)
This WAS brought up in the books. The reason is that the eagles said NO! They wouldn't take them any closer to Mordor than they did.
Thank you Natasha! Ppl always complain about the eagles but it's bn dealt with! Also, they already rescued them from the burning trees, the book is the hobbit not the eagles lol

Coupled with why did the witch curse an 11 year old boy who didn't want to let a stranger into his house....

Load More Replies...Because it's not Stockholm Syndrome....I'm so tired of this argument. The Beast actually changed his behaviour after Belle confronted him and ultimately let her go home. This is in contrast to Gaston, who thinks he knows what's best for her and turns more and more violent over the course of the story. Even as a 5-year-old child I could figure out the message was "don't trust first impressions and give people a chance, but don't let them walk all over you either", why is it so hard for adults to figure out?
Yeah, I don't understand why everyone thinks it's Stockholm Syndrome. Belle voluntarily offered herself in place of her father. The Beast didn't have to come back to rescue her when she first ran away, but he did--which is how they started to genuinely like one another. Also, the Beast eventually lets her go, once they discover how ill her father is.

My main problems with Disney movies is the sexual assault that just casually happens. Believe it or not, but you are not supposed to break into a girl's house and kiss her while she's sleeping. If she has actually been sleeping for years, go in and shake her awake or carry her out to a doctor. You do not need to kiss her!

Translation for clarity: in the live action movie Scooby Doo, it is unbelievable that Velma(played by Linda Cardellini) is an unsexy nerd, when she is, in fact, extremely hot.
I have no idea what is trying to be communicated here. What is a cardellinis?
Linda Cardellini, who is gorgeous, played Velma in the live action Scooby Doo. She was still treated as the intelligent (but not conventionally attractive) foil to Daphne, when she could- in fact- "get it".

Load More Replies...Because that's the unrealistic part, not that the rat is a talking chef. Lol
Actually, if they are wild rats, living to a tear is optimistic. When rats are properly cared for, they can live to three or four years (but that is very uncommon). The oldest I have had a rat live to is 2 years and 2 months and she is still alive, though she is slowing down a bit.
Some breeds of rat, especially males, can actually live up to 5 years. It doesn't happen often, but it is possible.
There are no 'breeds' of rats. There are color, fur, and ear variations, but they are all just domesticated versions of the Norway rat. The longest-lived rat in the world lived to around 7 years, but I don't think gender plays a big role in their longevity.

Nala's mom could have ran off and had an affair though. *shrug
In reality..when Scar took over the pride, he would have killed all the cubs so that the females would be ready for mating again. It doesn't matter if they were brothers or not. And most males are kicked out of the pride when they reach a year or so in age. If they want back in, they got to fight dear old Dad. So yes..there may be times when brothers are mating with sisters..or even worse and more common...father's mating with daughters.
Fact is, many animal like chicken including lion will mate with their own mom.. Its normal for their kind..
Most of those stories were written around the time that people were experimenting with opium and ether parties. It wasn't uncommon for people to experience a "bad trip." The stories were supposed to emulate being stoned out of your gourd. That's why Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz and other stories written between 1850 and 1930 were so trippy.
As an oldie? This was old hat and hackneyed for many of us by the 1990s after the 1980s had the whole "last season was a bad dream" on a show called "Dallas". And, btw, those devices like "same person/actually dead" etc. are found in literature pre-TV/film, so... It's been overused, but it's not new. Not remotely. GOes back to mythology even. So... Yeah. Badly done, overused, not new.
The Wizard of Oz is an allegory for the political climate of the time.
the theme "they were dead the whole time" came up just after the last episode of LOST.
I hate any 'size difference' movie, the characters wouldn't be able to absorb food or oxygen !
Actually we would be able to absorb both, after all ants breath oxygen and ingest/digest food. Our biology wouldn't be affected just because we're the size of an ant. On the other hand an ant that was increased to the size of even a small dog would suffocate to death pretty quickly. They don't have lungs or blood what they do have are spiracles and tubes that run throughout their bodies that air moves through. In a larger form oxygen wouldn't get far enough down the spiracles to reach the inner organs before it would be used up. Fun fact: 250 million years ago Earth's atmosphere had a higher oxygen content and insects could get a lot bigger including a dragonfly with a meter long wingspan.

That was the point of the movie. She was trying to resist because he was her step-brother. But they aren't committing incest because they are not blood related. Only a piece of paper makes them brother and sister and, since the stepfather never formally adopts Cher, there is no legal or moral line being crossed.

not plot holes, but some of the goofs in the film I cannot unsee whenever I watch it (e.g. a gallimimus jumps *through* the TRex during the flocking scene, in the tree with tim lex and alan, you can see that the jungle behind them is made up of camo-netting etc) I still love the film though...

Very necessary. Everything in that movie was perfect and you will never convince me otherwise.
Yes, because it's hilarious. Someone clearly doesn't understand humour.
It's explained at various points in the movie, The MCU doesn't work on standard time travel rules, every change in the time line simply creates an alternative universe and there is not butterfly effect, if the change is small enaugh it will not create a different universe/time line. This means that there is an universe/time line where Thanos, Nebula and Gamora disappeared in 2014 without leaving trace.
I really don't like that's how decided to go about the time travel rules. They don't make sense and it means that if any changes in the timeline create an alternate universe, essentially the Avengers abandoned their universe, just so they could create a new and better alternate universe for themselves.

The whole movie is a complete b******t genetically. There are only female worker bees, who are 0,75% alike genetically (more than siblings, but less than twins).
