Life would be much simpler yet more exciting at the same time if things worked just like in our favorite movies. The good guys would always save the day at the last minute. Adventures of a lifetime could happen at any moment. And your soulmate could be just around the corner. Alas! That’s not how the real world works.

OG_Builds created a thread on r/AskReddit and asked people to share what is totally normal in movies but never actually happens in real life. And, wow, did people deliver! The redditor’s post received 28.8k comments in 2 days, as well as more than 64.2k upvotes. Scroll down to have a look, don’t forget to upvote your fave things that are normal in movies, and share your own ideas in the comments! OG_Builds told Bored Panda that they got the idea to make the thread after watching a lot of movies while on vacation, while the comment that they could relate to the most was the one about finding new friends.

“I think the comment I found the most relatable was one pointing out how movie characters find friends the second they move to a new city. I just moved to a new town and I feel like movies underestimate the amount of time it takes to get to know people and build relationships.” Read on for the rest of our interview with the thread’s OP.

“While watching The Amazing Spiderman 2, I thought about how there are so many things that are never questioned in movies, though the same things rarely happen in real life. I wanted to see if my fellow redditors had some examples of such things,” OG_Builds shared what inspired them to make the thread in the first place.

They added that some of the other comments that stuck in their head from the thread were about car explosions and parking spots. “Another user commented that it takes very little impact for a car to blow up. If a car crashes into a tree it explodes, which is rarely the case in real life. Someone also pointed out that finding parking spots is way too easy. I never thought about this, but it’s actually really weird that movie characters are able to find parking spots in the middle of the day in Manhattan.”

In the redditor’s opinion, life wouldn’t be better if everything worked like in the movies. “I think movies fail to acknowledge that humans aren’t perfect. We make mistakes. Sometimes we stumble the words and we cough in the middle of conversations. Life isn’t always on our side. Sometimes, we need an hour to find somewhere to park, and some days we wake up with the worst bed hair.”

They continued: “Some might say it would be easier if life was a movie, but these flaws and imperfections are what make life so beautiful. I wouldn’t change that for the world.”

Whether things would be better if life were more like movies is debatable; but making movies more like real life would be a pretty bad idea, don’t you think? Let’s have a think and see what would change.

Imagine for a moment how boring Star Wars and movies with battles in outer space would be if we didn’t willingly suspend our disbelief and wanted everything to be super-realistic.

Ion cannons and explosions wouldn’t make any sounds (“In space no one can hear you scream” is very accurate, too). Meanwhile, you couldn’t even see those spectacular laser weapons. Darn you, vacuum of space, why do you have to make things so dull?!

However, lightsabers could kinda sorta maybe work according to some scientists and some very dedicated and talented crafters.

Action scenes would also be horrific if everything worked on IRL logic and not film logic. Protagonists wouldn’t disarm the bomb at the last second before the timer counted down to zero. There’d be no timer in the first place!

In case our heroes couldn’t disarm the bomb in time, they wouldn’t walk away from the explosion without getting hurt at all. The powerful shockwave would mean that the villains would win and that we’d have to get new heroes in the middle of the film. (Come to think of it, it would be interesting to see more movies where the bad guys win.)

Let’s also not forget how dangerous jumping through shattered glass windows is in real life. The sharp edges would hurt you very, very badly. Meanwhile, action heroes shrug shattered windows off like it’s no big deal.

Our verdict? Movies might have a bunch of things in them that never happen in real life but that’s why we love them so much! We wouldn’t have it any other way because movies that are too realistic wouldn’t have much structure and would end before things really got started. Now if only movie logic would spread to real life...

And all those academic pursuits take a shitload of time, energy, and focus to do. Something has to take a backseat til you’re done and graduated, and usually it’s your social life, which also frees up the time it takes to maintain perfect clothes, hair, and makeup. Hell, while I was putting in long hours writing my Master’s thesis, there were days when I didn’t have the energy to shower, much less blow dry my hair, put on makeup, get dressed in nice clothes, and go out for several hours. I preferred to spend that time researching, writing, or sleeping.

So - how are they presenting these as normal? They are presenting them within the TV world - where time is compressed, special effects happen, lines are memorized, there's special music with every scene. I KNOW all this isn't normal. Sure, we see these things in movies but I'm sure there's a reason for it (think about the extra challenges of creating a 'messy' room). Isn't it up to the viewer to know what's what?

Movies don't represent these as normal, movies are meant to be fantastical. Am I the only one who experiences books and movies without thinking that's going to by my life afterwards? And also - there are all different types of relationships out there. Sometimes the pushy guy does get the girl - because there are all different types of girls, guys, expectations, wants, desires, connections, etc.

If you don't specify a brand of liquor (for which you will be charged extra) all drinks are made from the "well" of cheap, high markup liquor the bar buys in bulk. A "vodka on the rocks" is likely Heaven Hill - and nobody with a functional brain would ever order "Heaven Hill on the rocks".

People Share What Movies Present As Normal, But It Actually Isn't, And Here Are 40 Of The Best Insights A crash or chase happens with shooting and stuff and every other car continues to drive as if nothing is going on around them. People slam on the brakes in real life cause a cop is going the opposite direction on the highway, yet you watch a Marvel movie and a dudes tailgating a van Cpt America and Ultron are actively fighting on.

In a boxing movie, the hero always wins by dramatic KO in the later rounds having lost every round up until that point and taking a severe beating. In reality, the fight would have been stopped in his opponent's favor several rounds previously.

Or the team steadily loses in the first half of the game, the coach gives them a short pep talk or has an angry insulting outburst in the locker room, and they suddenly go back out on the field to come from way behind and win in the second half by a load of points!

A small misunderstanding, not resolved by explaining, goes on to create an entire chain of wacky hijinix. Usually initiated by ‘wait, I can explain!’

It always bugged me when on a show kids would be getting ready for school and it'd be sunny out.

Maybe I just had an early start time, but it was always still dark out when I was up and getting ready for school.

I think this is a SE Asia thing? 7am here is still very dark whereas other parts of the world (say, Japan) the sun is already quite bright by then.

And people are turning on the TV on the right channel, at the precise time to see the news and then just turn off the TV after few sentences even if the news is not over!!

Every computer in a movie or show constantly chirps/beeps/speaks when used. That would be really damn annoying in real life.

Everyone showing up at someone's front door unannounced is evil. Serial killers, robbers, Jehova witnesses.

Well, this is rather a stereotype than something that cannot happen in real life. Just think of finnish sniper Simo Häyhä, who has over 500 confirmed kills...
