30 Mistakes Movies Make When Portraying Various Professions, As Shared By Folks In This Online Thread
The drama, the action, the explosions—movies have always been slightly, or even wildly different from reality in some ways or others. But even though a lot of popular movies do not provide an exact representation of what’s truly real, we still get a kick out of them, because of how we, as an audience, relate to the plot, the characters, and the various scenarios that occur. The distance between the audience’s perception of reality and the point of the film is usually big enough for us to escape that reality for the duration of the running time, if not longer, or it is smaller—in which case we do heavily relate to what’s on the screen.
On the other hand, there are scenarios where, on an individual or group basis, we will be annoyingly detached from the fictional narrative at hand, because we know that it is a bit too far from our reality. One such example would be people with a certain job or profession watching a movie and thinking that it’s not how their job is done at all. A user on Reddit asked a question that very much relates to this—what movies get wrong about different kinds of jobs that real people do. Here at Bored Panda, we have collected 30 of some of the more interesting responses. Scroll down to view the whole list, upvote the posts you perhaps relate to and leave a comment!

Taxi driver for 2 and a half years. No one has ever asked me to follow that car :(
It could be argued that, a lot of the time, the professions we do not have much direct contact with will not be well understood, and that counts for movie makers as well. People behind movies aren't always going to have deep knowledge about doctors, engineers or lawyers, and even if they have access to people from those professions that can consult them, the end result will still likely be changed for the cinematic or dramatic effect. So it could be said that it's not the movie maker's intention to deceive us when it comes to what people really do with their professions, but that's rather the by-product of trying to make the movie as concise and interesting as possible.

I work with horses. Movie horses are always snorting, neighing, grunting, nickering, or otherwise making noise practically every time they move. In reality, horses aren’t that noisy. They don’t snort or squeal every time they change gaits. I can count on one hand the number of times my own horse has neighed, and he was just screaming for his friends who he couldn’t see over the hill and who wouldn’t answer him.

I have a horse-expert friend. Watch a movie involving horses with her, and every few minutes or seconds, she'll say "Different horse!". Apparently moviemaker are always changing horses, and assume audiences can't tell one horse from another. Well, i cant...

My mom's horse always grunts and neighs when given his oats snack. He hears her in the barn making his food and he gets all excited. That's likely how the animals on set are made to be more vocal.

I love taking note of this too, I’m a huge animal actor fan, even most of the body language and facial expressions never go with the audio they pick 😂 it’s funny as when it’s an aggressive dog scene, lots of growling and barking, but the rot wheiler (no idea how to spell that 😂 I’m a cat people) is waging its tail with friendly eyes with toothpastes foam in its mouth.

They put a lot of neighs in when they stop since the movie horses tend to be gaping their mouths from the pain of the bit being yanked around violently during those dramatic pull ups in front of the camera.

I’ve been training horses for 20+yrs. Horses are vocal if they’re buddy sour like OP mentioned, they’re SUPER angry at something (another horse getting too close for example), it’s meal time. The only true exceptions are if it’s a pony or if it’s a chestnut mare. They want to watch the world burn and will loudly let their opinions be know. And if it’s a chestnut mare pony….

I.T. I don’t know everything. I can’t hack. If I don’t know the answer from experience I use google. But I do wear cargo shorts every day so they got that right.
It could be said, though, that some movies don't even try to be realistic with their portrayals of various jobs, to the point where even people unrelated to the profession might cringe a little. For example, the way software development or hacking in movies is shown brings out not fascination, but rather a laugh, as the "hackers" or "programmers" on the screen assemble 3D shapes, smash their keyboards and type out gibberish.

In sci-fi movies when they rig up a massive, complex experiment and it works the first time.

If you stop CPR to pound on the patients shoulders, yell at them to "come back goddammit", and give 'em a kiss, they'll probably die.
I'd say that one big drawback of inaccurate portrayal of jobs in movies is that it gives a skewed perspective on those professions to people that might actually be interested in working in those fields. From kids to adults, movies will commonly show either the most exciting or the dullest parts of a certain job, when in reality, elements of both can be found in pretty much any line of work. Police officers have to do paperwork, lawyers don't scream at the top of their lungs in the courtroom, and builders aren't just background characters who just walk around pretending to build stuff.

Mental Health Technician here. We do NOT like giving injections unless absolutely necessary. Too much paperwork. Also, most of us aren't complete controlling a******s that ignore or abuse patients. Everyone I work with is kind, patient, and respectful of our patients.

I’m a bomb tech, we will blow up 20 robots before we send the most junior guy down to cut the red wire.
All in all, as with some things, movies probably aren't the best resource for helping you pick out the job of your dreams. That being said, it doesn't mean they don't entertain and bring us laughter and joy, even if some things are portrayed completely wrong.

I used to know this awesome guy who ran a used books' store. The place was TINY and absolutely everything was crammed with books, shelves had rows of books in front of books in front of books so you only saw a fraction of them. If you asked the guy if he had this obscure ancient greek grammar text book he wouldn't even look up from what he was reading and tell you it's in this row, that shelf, behind this and that book. He also managed to call me one day to tell me he tracked down the book I was looking for. I never gave him my last name, my number, and I'm not listed... He was either a wizard or a spy. One day he told me about this woman who was looking for "3 meters of red books" . She just had a fireplace installed and it would look so "smart" to have a row of red books above it... Guy sold her an insanely expensive encyclopedia series. It was red.

I'm a wildlife biologist. "Tranquilizers" (which is an incorrect term for the immobilizing agents we use) do NOT work immediately like movies make people believe.

Simply darting an animal and expecting them to drop right then and there just simply does not happen.

Lab technician: experiments using cells or tissues take days and getting results isn't a "press-this-button-to-get-your-answer" procedure. You design and perform an experiment and get numbers from that experiment, the analysis of which will let you draw a conclusion. More often than not, the conclusion isn't or is only partly what you were looking for, and that scientific paper you're reading took people months or years to put together.

Real life doctors aren't the ones doing your x-rays, cat scans and ultrasounds. They're not the ones drawing your blood and sending it to the lab. That's radiology techs such as myself, lab techs, phlebotomists, etc. In a hospital, outside of an ICU, doctors actually spend very little time with the patient.

Weird that no scientist responded. Movies get us almost completely wrong. I can't count the number of times characters are searching for a cure for a virus but they look at parasitic worms in a drop of blood through a bright field microscope. Then there's all the lab equipment set up wrong or being used wrong, nobody ever wears PPE or washes their hands, experiments take like 10 seconds to design, set up, and complete, the characters never analyze their data (they just look at the raw numbers and magically know), and their conclusions are sweeping generalizations generally unsupported by their data.

There was a movie called Other End of The Line that depicted a girl who worked at call centre in India for a bank in North America. She starts flirting with one of the customers, tells him lies about living where he is and ends up flying to him to pursue a deeper relationship. H'yeah, okay. If any call centre worker, whether it's seedier sales, research, collections, customer service, or anything, they'd not only be fired but could face legal action for breach of privacy and confidentiality laws, and lying to people is a big nono. I've had people try to flirt with me, ask for my personal number, I would lightly decline and tell them I gotta let them go. Staff are monitored like a hawk in real time and every call is recorded. And either way, as much as Hollywood loves to use attractive actors as call centre agents, it's hardly reality. Plus, we aren't that's interested nor do we believe anyone is being serious with their flirting.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but, when there's a film about video games and artificial intelligence of NPCs, the developers are trying to play the game to find out whatever they're looking for, and, even when they look into the creation files, it's some kind of fancy scmency backstage game of its own. Unfortunately, that's not how it looks. It's just a series of codes and logs. Yeah, doesn't look as fun, but, on the other hand, it would take customer service waaaaaaay longer to respond to questions from players around the world if it were like depicted in these films. And then, there's real time programming (again, a fiction of such films). Whatever changes they make to the game, it immediately changes the contents, graphics, and all. Nah, the graphics department is a different team, and they collaborate. All changes are made on a different version (build) of the game which is not available to the public. After lots of testing, the new content is ready to be implemented through an update you will have to download from whatever market you're using to play the game. And the download itself might take a while.

I just saw that movie last week. I'm not very familiar with new video games now, but me and daughter were commenting on how unrealistic that studio was, and the studio boss was the cheesiest character. It was definitely parody on the gaming industry with referencing GTA, Cyberpunk, Fortnite and, I think, Minecraft, maybe other games I don't know about. It's an interesting concept, though, for a movie. A refreshing change from adaptations of older movies.

Ultrasound technician- I hate seeing ultrasounds on TV or in movies, because it's so wrong! Doctors do not do ultrasounds! Ultrasound is physics and angles, and doctors are not trained to do it. Also, the ultrasound tech does not tell you the results of your scan. The images we take are reviewed by a radiologist who then communicates with your doctor. And in a pregnancy ultrasound, if the fetus is still shaped like a bean, it's way too early to determine gender. Those depictions of a doctor setting the transducer on a woman's flat stomach and saying, "congratulations, you're pregnant and it's a boy" just make me crazy!

I was the jury foreman on an attempted murder trial 10 years ago. The defense lawyer absolutely berated witnesses. He actually kept calling one witness a "street" person. She finally asked him what he meant and he then called her a "hobo" and then homeless. She finally looked at the judge and said, "I don't know what he's talking about. I witnessed the attack from the apartment where I pay rent." The defense attorney was awful. When I delivered the guilty verdict he got up in my face and told me he believed I coerced my fellow jury members. So he asked each and every jury member for a verdict, all of whom not only said guilty, but defended my honor. The judge had to tell him a few times to stop showboating, but that trial was just like every trial I've seen on TV. It lasted for 10 days. So, I don't know what this lawyer is talking about because I lived through it.

I was a little disappointed that there was no entry from a bartender, explaining that they don't know what everyone is drinking off the top of their heads, so ordering "the usual" only works if you come every day and sit in front of the same bartender. Depending on the bar, they also don't usually know the ingredients of every exotic drink and often need to look them up in the Bartender's Bible.

And in a pregnancy ultrasound, if the fetus is still shaped like a bean, it's way too early to determine gender. Those depictions of a doctor setting the transducer on a woman's flat stomach and saying, "congratulations, you're pregnant and it's a boy" just make me crazy!

It depends on the age. Both my kids had ultrasound and after a few months you could clearly tell the gender on the scan. But yeah it was done by an ultrasound tech not a doctor.

Music studio engineers and producers cannot fix everything in the mix. If you sound like crap, it will be clearly recorded as crap. And for those male players who insist that their girlfriend sings (or plays), a studio will NOT improve their lack of talent. And in all my years of recording, a massively great song has NEVER been captured in one take.

Literature / English Teachers: we don't have 'state of the nation' talks every lesson, nor does the majority of our lesson consist of responding to salient insights into Shakespeare from the teenage audience. It's mostly explaining why English prepositions make no sense but you still need to know them, and that using shorter, simpler words actually is better in your essays because they more accurately convey your short, simple ideas. Sometimes the thesaurus is NOT your friend.

Thesauruses mostly tell you similar words not the same. E.g. Privateer, buccaneer and pirate are not the same.

911 dispatchers. We don't have satelite views of your neighborhood and we can't transport officers to your house in seconds. And, no, i don't know where you are exactly, especially if you are in and apartment building or office building.

911 calls in movies and TV take about 15 seconds. 911 call takers are actually trained to ask a lot of questions, sometimes from a procedural script, so the first responders aren't just flying blind into an unknown situation.

I was the jury foreman on an attempted murder trial 10 years ago. The defense lawyer absolutely berated witnesses. He actually kept calling one witness a "street" person. She finally asked him what he meant and he then called her a "hobo" and then homeless. She finally looked at the judge and said, "I don't know what he's talking about. I witnessed the attack from the apartment where I pay rent." The defense attorney was awful. When I delivered the guilty verdict he got up in my face and told me he believed I coerced my fellow jury members. So he asked each and every jury member for a verdict, all of whom not only said guilty, but defended my honor. The judge had to tell him a few times to stop showboating, but that trial was just like every trial I've seen on TV. It lasted for 10 days. So, I don't know what this lawyer is talking about because I lived through it.

I was a little disappointed that there was no entry from a bartender, explaining that they don't know what everyone is drinking off the top of their heads, so ordering "the usual" only works if you come every day and sit in front of the same bartender. Depending on the bar, they also don't usually know the ingredients of every exotic drink and often need to look them up in the Bartender's Bible.

Knew a pub landlord who would know "the usuals" for the majority of people who came in once a week - he would have them ready before you reached the bar.
