The biggest movie cliché nobody mentions


Foreigners in their own country seem to speak amazing English.

reply

Not a cliché - having visited around 60 countries, embarrassingly, most people do 😱

reply

They speak it but in movies their grammar and use of sayings shows an advanced level.

reply

You’d be surprised that most foreign people speak better English than most English speaking people 🤪

There's the user here named Furienna who posts in perfect English, with proper grammar and spelling. It was months before I found out she lives in Sweden. She has better command of the language than a lot of people here in the U.S.

reply

Yes, we have regulars from The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden along with many other European nations - all using perfect English.

When I watch the world news and they interview people, I am surprised at how many countries have English speakers, even those in remote locations.

reply

Or when the movie "ends", like really bro, you're just gonna do what every other movie does? No originality left anymore

reply

Except for The Neverending Story, that movie never... uh, ends.

reply

Possibly the only original movie ever

I always liked it in movies how anyone picks up a gun seems to be a real talent at shooting. Especially in zombie movies. Everyone who picks up a gun can pull off a flawless headshot most of the time, without taking much time to aim.

Everyone can drive a car like a professional stunt driver too.

Babel Fish.

They are actually speaking in their own language but you hear them speaking English because there is a Babel Fish in your ear.

In horror films:
• When the antagonist is killed, be it a slasher, monster or some other creature, it only appears to be dead. It is obligatory that the character unexpectedly revives for one final jump-scare before being ultimately vanquished.
• If a protagonist has his/her back to a window, it is guaranteed that the villain will come crashing through the glass.
