People Break Down Which Things Happen In Movies That Never Happen In Real Life

These Redditors pointed out how the passage of time differs on the big screen.

Perfect Timing

"No one has to wait for anything. People phone or e-mail back in time, taxis arrive, the results come back in time to catch the bad guys, even the coffee is ready to go"

– slightlyspaced

Die Another Day

"Villain wastes time instead of killing the protagonist right now."

– baguetteboy7

"Let me spill every detail of my plan to you before you escape."

Planning Made Easy

"Never setting a time for things."

"Want to go out Friday? Yeah. Great see you then. Bye."

– ron2838

"Or asking people you just met for a date and they're like "great I'll pick you up at 8" but never getting a location."

In order to advance the plot, these real-life occurrences are usually nixed for the sake of storytelling and pace.

Cutting To The Chase

"The lack of considerable paperwork from any police-action movie."

Ability To Hear

"Being able to hear after hundreds of gun shots in a small room."

– MrMilkMan105

Dramatic Interruptions

"If a girl is arguing with you in real life, and you kiss her in an attempt to stop her from yelling, she'll most likely not appreciate it."

In Movieland, bedroom activity goes down like this.

Springing To Life

– PristineProcedure335

Stay And Cuddle

"Or go to the bathroom."

"They're always like hey babe let's cuddle now."

"Irl she be like yea so I'm go clean up now then we can cuddle."

"She comes back and he's asleep or got dressed and is going about doing things."

One thing I tend to notice from watching TV and film is the fact that people talk in normal voices in loud environments.

When a scene takes place in a club with music blaring, the protagonists engage in detailed discussions without shouting.

Of course, audiences have to be willing to suspend their disbelief.

After all, we escape reality and immerse ourselves in the world of cinema – where characters make undetailed plans to meet later and villains hold off on killing the protagonist right away for the sake of creating tension.

As for that Hollywood ending we all desire, there's nothing wrong with remaining optimistic and keeping an eye out for one.
