Movies are about escapism - they're meant to take us away into a fantasy world, whether it's a cartoon, an action-thriller, a rom-com, or a horror movie. But even though it's not real, we still want to see plots that are somewhat believable, and sometimes, the producers just get it all wrong. People of Reddit are pointing out all the things are totally normal in movies, but never happens in real life and they've got us seeing movies all differently now.
