23 Things That Look Awesome In Movies But Are Terrible In Real Life
Article created by: Justinas Keturka
There are certain film tropes around, say, life in New York city and attending an average American high school that are so removed from reality that they wholeheartedly resemble an alternative universe. But, once you take a step back and unsee the movie magic, you’ll find that this is true of quite a lot more.
People online share the things and activities that films always make out to be interesting, fun and cool but are quite the opposite in real life. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

Being autistic. We aren’t all math geniuses destined for greatness, some of us are just lonely.
#10
Driving long distances. There are very few unexpected shenanigans to get into on a long drive.
#13
Inside. No one's house or apartment looks that shiny and clean or rich. They're job could be selling aluminum cans and their home will look like an architectual magazine.
#15
Standing in the rain. In real life, you’d likely get pneumonia getting cold and wet like that, not to mention the raindrops down the back of your neck
Standing near an explosion. Oh yeah, look at that fireball! Cool, my eardrums have burst and my internal organs are mush! Awesome!
Travelling. As in transit, paying for fares, waiting in queues, walking, etc. Very dull. All of that happens in a blink of an eye in most films. You’d swear going to another country took less than an hour!
Holding onto a ledge with one hand. Happens a lot in films to up the tension, whereas if you’re a scarecrow like me you’d get tired after about five seconds and end up falling with a newly dislocated shoulder
A zombie apocalypse. Would in real life be fairly short-lived thanks to the military, barbed wire fences and enormous trenches
Being the quiet kid. Kids in movies look so interesting and mysterious not saying a word all the time, but when I try it I just look autistic
#17
CPR. You can't wake someone up with a CPR. Even with a Cpr machine. Only the hospital can wake you up with adrenalin and stuffs. And the chances that you wake up (if you wake up) with no brain damage are very very slim.
Edit : so, I should have predicted that, but now everyone is sending me stories of people woken up by cpr. Obviously there are exeptions. I was just trying to point out that you can't expect someone to wake up from a cpr like they do in movies.
#18
Costumes that chacaters wear, they look really cool in movies and if you wear the samething outside it's lame.
#23
That one scene in deadpool 2 where deadpool literally gets ripped in half. Not much else to say.
