I get annoyed that the main character (particularly in action movies) always has these hidden talents that no joe shmoe would ever have.
Ex- they need to go to another country to get some detrimental information, and they just happen to speak the language like a native. Oh and they happen to have a friend who’s “good with computers” that can hack anything/make resolutions better/put back together a destroyed computer etc.. And then they just happen to have a criminal background or something that makes them relatable to cops annd bad guys.
I suppose it’s to enhance the story but really? No one is like this in real life.
Oh and what’s up with the fake highschools in movies? My highschool was NEVER like that!! (in any aspect: prom, homeroom, the hallways, prom, football games, and especially the people. Kids that went to my highschool were 14–18 years old not 19–39)
I know that watching what really happens would be boring- but if you change too much the movie is so unrealistic and predictable.
