TranquilMind Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I watched "Taken" with Liam Neeson last week on cable. My son wanted to see it, as he was interested in seeing "Taken 2" with friends. Anyway, something that really requires me to suspend reality is how Liam Neeson, who is now SIXTY freaking years old, is able to take on a room full of people and knock them out cold? I mean, I love action movies, but COME ON! He also does amazing physical feats for a 60 year old. Have you noticed that the bad guys in movies always wait their turn, so that the hero can knock them out, rather than all jumping him at the same time, which is what would actually happen? Amazingly, no bad guy ever has a gun in a group setting when the hero bursts onto the scene to take them all out! I notice the same phenomenon in every action movie, but lately I've seen it everywhere. We love the TV show "Person of Interest", and 44 year old Jim Caviezel does this too. Enters a room full of people and knocks them all out without ever breaking a sweat. When he does this, we say, Well, he IS Jesus!" (he played Jesus in a movie role). :tongue_smilie: Anyway, things that just don't make sense to me, but that I'd love to think could really happen. I guess that is why these movies are popular.

Impish Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I think one of the first, if not only movies that didn't have the bad guys all waiting turns is the Transporter movies. *And* the lead character actually gets hurt, not just invincible. Wolf was watching Broken Arrow last night. Brought up several questions. Why didn't they just put the nukes on the elevator, send it down WITHOUT riding w/it, then shoot the cable so it couldn't come back up? Why did they keep the woman alive, rather than just shooting her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth in MN Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Children who 1) go to bed when told to 2) happily eat whatever is on their plate 3) play quietly 4) wear whatever their parent picked out, without complaint 5) have tidy bedrooms or play areas that can be picked up in under thirty seconds by a parent who is having a life changing conversation with another adult 6) children who are clean after playing outside 7) children who are happy about doing school/home work. I think that's it. Full churches in movies where no one complains about being hip-to-hip or having "their" seating area taken by a visitor. See Steel Magnolias. People who chop and claim that the food is diced. Also, the frying verses sauteing issue. Characters who are suppose to be mothers but never have a stain on their outfits. Also, characters who are suppose to be mother who have fashionable outfits, no muffin tops, and every hair on their head in a socially acceptable place. As you can see, false representations of parenting get under my skin. Oh, and parents of a newborn being shown as well rested yet involved in their children's lives. Death being represented as a clean and tidy affair, both physically and emotionally. High School being presented as the best time in a persons life rather than the snake pit it is. See any of the High School Musical movies as an illustration of this point. A human body producing more than a gallon of blood at one time.

sewingmama Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Defibrillators being used to bring people back to life and the weak cough that symbolizes successful return. :iagree: and for that matter How often people go into comas on shows and they are on the cusp of death for weeks only to suddenly wake up and are able to immediately move and talk and sit up. In real life if you go into a coma (which doesn't happen as often as movies show) chances are not great you will come out of it and if you do there is often a long recovery period before you can do - well anything and often lasting damage. In my opinion "a coma" is the go to for a writer when the actor asks for a few weeks off to take a vacation :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's it. Are you saying that this really doesn't EVER happen in real life???? Are you sure??? Because according to my MIL this was how it was for her when she was raising kids. I mean, you only forgot that 8) they do what they are told the very first time without talking back or whining. Oh, and 9) you never have to raise your voice to get your point across. Oh, and 10) Toddlers never have temper tantrums at all or at least never in a public place where people give you the hairy eyeball. So, honestly, I'm not sure your post really applies to this thread.

Laura Corin Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've written before about Kevin Costner in Robin Hood planning on walking from Dover to Nottingham in a day. Then on the way he goes via Northumberland (scenic views of Hadrian's Wall). When I asked Google Maps how long it would take, it suggested I take the ferry from Dover to Belgium, then another ferry from Belgium to Hull to shorten my walk! Not available to RH, I assume. The Robert Downey Junior Sherlock film has them doing a quick sprint from Westminster to Tower Bridge. You could run it, but you'd be pretty puffed, especially in Victorian costume, by the time you arrived. I'm sure geography in American films doesn't make sense either, but I only tend to notice the British occasions. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassenach Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Total sidetrack, but Taken has one of my favorite movie quotes, "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." Change a few words and that quote can be used in almost any context.

I'm sure geography in American films doesn't make sense either, but I only tend to notice the British occasions. Laura Happens here too. And on a related note, every single movie--NO EXCEPTION--in which there's a scene in DC, requires them to drive right in front of the US Capitol. And by the way, there's rarely traffic. I only ever watched one episode of "Bones," but they went past the Capitol to get from something like Reagan Airport to Arlington Cemetery. Um, NO. Not unless you've got out-of-town friends in the car who want to see the sights, and you've got loads of extra time to waste on driving in a different direction and sitting in traffic. And the various senators and the snitches they're confiding in always walk along the Potomac or sit somewhere at an empty bench having their lunch. (An EMPTY bench.) I do know plenty of DC business people who go outside and walk somewhere for their lunch, mostly so they don't have to lose their parking spot. They're unlikely to spend an hour or more walking to the Potomac and back. I guess we're supposed to assume they took a taxi? They never say. But because I'm a total nerd, I usually spend the next scene or two trying to work out how they can take such long lunch breaks, how they managed to walk that far without getting sweaty or wrinkled, or how on earth they're going to find a taxi back from that spot. Or if they had a driver drop them off, then how the meeting's going to stay a secret. (The West Wing did this too occasionally, when it suited the plot; but I mostly LOVED the show because most people never had time for lunch, and if they ate at all, it was at their desk. THAT is realism, finally.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at the very very very first contraction, they're moaning and flailing around and running for the doc to catch the baby. Where are the hours and days of early labor? The annoying walking around? The "I'm only at 3, what?!" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 regarding Mel Gibson, I try not to think about what actors might be like in real life or I could never enjoy their movies. I find it sad how Mel has turned out. I remember the very first movie I saw him in "The Year of Living Dangerously" so handsome and those eyes. I have seen most of his movies, I will still watch the Mad Max ones and the Lethal Weapon ones when they are on tv. But still so sad how he has been the last few years, alcohol related, personality changes, rages, whatever it all is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
