Film Plots That, When Broken Down, Are Absolute Messes
There are few things I love more than snuggling in a blanket on the couch and watching a couple of movies, especially when it's cold out. While a fair share of movies have cohesive, interesting, and rational plots to back them up, many movies are really messed up and weird when broken down to their core elements.
Here are some "bad" explanations of films that are so accurate that it kind of hurts.
Seriously, How Did We Think This Was Romantic?
I'll be the first to admit that I loved the Twilight Saga books, but it's really messed up. He straight up snuck into her room to watch her sleep and constantly thought about drinking her blood.
If Fiona Could Do It, So Can I
Fiona is the original baddie who decided to let her real self show and not constantly use snapchat filters with the guy of her dreams and still got the guy. We stan a legend.
Honestly, This Could Be An Adult Film Summary
Growing up and watching Disney films, I never realized how gross the plot was. This guy doesn't even really know her, but he thinks she's hot so he makes out with her corpse? Yuck.
Sorry, Jen
This movie absolutely bangs, and the on-screen chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was electric. It wasn't until news hit the tabloids that we realized that they also had off-screen chemistry. Yikes, Jen.
This Is So Relatable That It Hurts
I always loved this film as a child because I loved watching a fictional tale of a woman overcoming gender roles. I just didn't realize that it was going to also be my (and many other women's) lifelong struggle as well.
Don't Worry Jasmine, It Happens To The Best Of Us
The thing that blows my mind is that Aladdin could have just wished that they didn't have stratified social classes, but instead he decided that being a liar was better.
Sandy Is That One Friend You Have That Keeps Going Back To Her Loser Ex
The first time I watched Grease at age nine, I thought it was a cute love story about defeating the odds. Now I'm like: "Sandy, why'd you change yourself for that scrub?"
Seriously, Who Wrote This Script?
I know that contraception existed back in the day when the backstory for the film occurred, so why was Donna out here not using any with multiple men in the span of weeks? Come on, sis.
This Is Actually Every Adam Sandler Movie
Don't get me wrong, at first glance these films all seem like light-hearted comedies where a dopey guy just finds himself in tough circumstances, but the older you get, the more you learn to fear men who love these movies.
Hot Privilege Is Real
Early Disney movies (and most fairytales, if we're being honest) were horribly problematic. Yeah, they had that cute scene in the woods, but they only met that one time! She doesn't know that he fought a dragon for her. Imagine waking up to a makeout-session with an acquaintance!
The Ultimate Wingman
Having a mother who raises and cares for you throughout your childhood is a true blessing, and it's hard to repay her for her kindness. However, Sarah's son sends a hot soldier back in time so that his mom can get some action.
How Is This Supposed To Be A Joyful Story?
We all know the words to the "Rudolph" Christmas carol, and this film was a December bop in many of our childhoods. However, what initially seems like a deer overcoming adversity is really a tale of exploitation.
Honestly Some Tough Luck On His Part
Poor Forrest spent the entirety of this film being in love with Jenny, the girl he met on the school bus. This isn't a heartwarming story about succeeding through life's difficulties, but instead a reminder that even good things don't last.
Willy Wonka Was Just Saw For Kids
Willy Wonka lures a group of children and their families into his mysterious chocolate factory, and then brutally kills those children because they love candy. This was a horror film in disguise.
Like, Did She Not Have To Pay For Reparations
We get it: sisterhood is important, embrace difference... whatever. Not only did she destroy half of the local village, but she also almost doomed everyone to an endless winter. Did she at least issue a formal apology?
Buddy Deserved Better
It was not Buddy's fault that he grew up outside of his native home of New York, but he was ostracized nonetheless. On the bright side, it's almost a perfect representation of what it's like to not be a local in New York.
Wish My Friends Had This Energy
These characters travel hundreds of miles to return a ring to a live volcano, but my friend can't travel two miles to return the necklace she borrowed for her cousin's wedding in July. Like, come on Sara!
Belle, Blink Twice Fast If You Need Help
I always believed that this was a hopeful story about how, through patience and kindness, you can actually get a man to change. In reality, it's about how imprisonment can make you like your captor.
Drake Is Shaking Right Now
Cady Heron hopped off the plane after years of homeschooling abroad and started wearing crop tops and going to parties before her life fell apart. Drake may have raised some points in "Hotline Bling".
LOL Her Poor Husband
While this is not exactly a plot summary, some very important points are raised. Rose only knew Jack for about three days and she'd throw away a lifetime of marriage and companionship to be with him in the afterlife.
