They had a son, he died, but luckily (DING DING!) a baby come out of nowhere from the sea. Completly unrealistic. It's like a story where characters are about to go bankrupt.... but they win 100 million at the lotery.
shareI sympathize with the OP's consternation. I am often lost to the appeal of movies or television and wonder if others can enlighten me.
I am trying to force myself through the television series "Saving Grace". I keep telling myself it must be ironic, or metaphor or sarcastic, but I just don't get it.
I always hope that the truth is obvious but not simple i.e Gilligan's Island and the Seven Deadly Sins.
Well, yes it's kind of far fetched. Luckily I saw "Don't Breathe" right before this movie and anything next to it seems so real I thought TLBO was a documentary.
shareIt is a bit far fetched, but I suppose a lot of movies are, really.
