“They Died?? I Thought They Fell Asleep!”: 50 Worst Cases Of People Misunderstanding The Plot
Some movies are too complicated for their own good. Some others aren’t, but they still might leave some viewers puzzled or completely missing the point of the plot. (If a movie popped into your mind right now, I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one, if that’s any consolation.)
To show you that there is no shame in not getting the main idea of the plot and that quite a few people don’t, we want to shed light on this thread, started by the redditor ‘FinalDemise’, who asked fellow members of ‘Ask Reddit’ to describe the worst cases of people misunderstanding a movie they have ever seen. Scroll down to find the netizens’ stories on the list below and use this as a chance to expand your must-watch list - it’s always a good idea to have one on hand in case the mind goes blank when it’s time for a movie night.

Me and some friends were watching James Bond Spectre while extremely drunk and got really confused by the repeated and overlapping sections. We were talking about how great the Memento style use of non-linear time was a great addition to the Bond films only to realise I had been sitting on the remote and rewinding it all night. I think we were watching it for about 4 hours.

It was me. I am not a fan of superhero movies but I liked the Xmen when I was younger. So I thought I would check one out. I downloaded one that featured one of my favorites. I started watching it, they messed his whole back story up, there weren't any other mutants, basically no action. After about 30 minutes in I realized it wasn't a superhero movie.
So anyways, Jake Gyllenhaal was really good in Nightcrawler.

My wife is a big history buff, especially US history. She also doesn’t like campy vampire/zombie/monster movies. I made her watch Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. 10 minutes into the movie she turned to me and said “I don’t think this actually happened”.

My mom with every movie ever. It would drive me and my siblings nuts. 10 minutes into the movie she would say, "I know what they're gonna do. This, this and this. I can read movies like a book." She would be wrong 95% of the time and being wrong never stuck with her. Did it our entire lives. She was also the type that would ask us 20 questions about the movie we're all watching for the first time. Mom has been gone for a year now and these little annoyances become things you miss about them.

TV, but the people that watch antihero shows like Breaking Bad or the Sopranos and their only takeaway is "whoa! Walt/Tony is a badass!".
Walter White, Tony Soprano, and characters like them are pieces of s**t. The entire story is about how their being a piece of s**t causes them to lose everything.

The people that think Blazing Saddles is "racist".
Honestly, these people are as dumb as a bag of rocks...
David 3 weeks ago
Blazing Saddles is a classic. Also a reminder of how it used to be okay to laugh at ourselves. But even Mel Brooks has said he could never make a movie like that today. Cancel culture wouldn't get that it was the racists being mocked, not the minorities.
David Morgan 3 weeks ago
Mel famously answered the question "do you think you could make the film today?" with "we couldn't make it then!". Every time period has idiots who only look at the surface - Mel was ripping racists a new one by showing them in all their 'glory'.

Buddy of mine was having a discussion about movies with a group of coworkers. One of Mel's movies came up, and someone made a comment about "that well-known anti-semite, Mel Brooks". Turned out he was serious. He WOULD NOT be convinced that Mel Brooks A) is *JEWISH*, and B) spends a lot of effort in his comedies RIDICULING Nazis and anti-semites. Nope. This guy just was not going to hear it.
David 3 weeks ago
Bill - LOL That's pretty bad. Every time Nazis show up in his films, it is not in a flattering way. Like the movie The Producers had the subplot where the show they are producing is "Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp With Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden"

I am so glad I grew up when Mel Brooks movies could still be appreciated for the humor and Satire (!!!) before everything got too "politically correct". I am the first to advocate learning from history, not repeating it; but comedy and satire can be great ways to learn about things as well as laugh about things. It can sometimes be a very fine line, but I am glad I can still see it

My brother's first in-theater movie was Disney's "Pocahontas" and he thought it was a story about the first Thanksgiving and completely missed the themes of racial tension and colonization. Part of the reason he thought it was about Thanksgiving was that there were lots of references to food, like "the song about sandwiches." The sandwiches song was his favorite and he sang it for weeks afterwards.
"Savages." The song is called "Savages.".

I saw the movie Outbreak at a dollar movie theater in my college town a few weeks after it came out.
The movie was entertaining but what I remember most is the woman sitting near me who couldn't bear to actually look at the screen when there was any tension at all in the scene.
Highlights were her buying her face in her hands and screaming, at different points:
"THAT MONKEY GONE EAT THAT LITTLE GIRL!"
And, later:
"OH MY GAWWD! THEY GONE KILL THAT MONKEY!"
I wish sitting near that lady was an option every time I go to the movies.

Watched Fried Green Tomatoes with my very conservative antiqued grandfather. He thought it was just a wholesome movie about friends. To be fair, the movie is pretty friendwashed, but I thiught it was funny how much the movie leans on your preconceived notions of what’s happening between the two mains. That I could watch a heartwarming/breaking movie about some lesbians, while he’s watching a movie about female friends empowering each other, and we’re watching the same movie. .

I was once running late to see The Bourne Identity with friends. I came in about five or ten mins after it started.
I got most of the movie from context clues, but afterwards, I was completely confusing my friends with questions like, "Ok so why was he a hobo?" and "Why didn't he remember anything?" My friends were like, what are you on about? I just didn't realise that Bourne had been in the ocean in the first few mins, or that he'd been shot. I saw him first in Switzerland. He looked homeless. I just thought he was in a disguise, you know cos he's a spy. I went back and forth between thinking he had some sort of unexplained amnesia, to thinking maybe he was faking the amnesia to escape from the government for some reason? (fake amnesia made sense to me since how else did he know about the safe deposit code? But also if he was faking then why was he so shocked to see the contents of the safe deposit box??) Maybe the government had made him go on a mission as a hobo but then he really became a hobo and so he was mad at them? (and later in the movie) What's with the yacht, though? How do boats come into it? How did he get from being thrown off a yacht to being a hobo in Switzerland with amnesia?? It was very disorienting, and I spent most of the movie trying to puzzle through my lingering questions.
Lesson: If you ever think "surely the first five mins can't be that crucial to the plot", you might be wrong. Especially for The Bourne Identity.

My wife and I decided to watch The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019, Dev Patel), and about halfway though, she turned to me and asked, “so when does he start doing magic?”

Meanwhile, she figured out the ACTUAL twist and thought it was “common sense”. People on the spectrum will always surprise and amaze me….

Years ago I took my nana to see “Failure to Launch” about a grown man (Matthew McCaughnehy) who still lives at home with his parents. So they hire this woman (Sarah Jessica Parker) who gets man babies to move out. For a living. My nana had a small drinking problem. And I’d come pick her up for the movies and she would be tipsy. Then she would always sober up halfway through the movie and be confused about the plot. This particular movie only had like 4 or 5 people in the theater. Including us. So when she sobered up and started asking questions, everyone could hear. This time she said.
“Oh I get it. She’s like a hooker?”.

On the Podcast This American Life, they told this story of a woman whose favourite movie was Sound of Music. Her family watched the VHS tape at a cabin that was left behind. Later as an adult, some friends were talking about Nazis in the movie and she replied, “what Nazis?” She had only seen the first half of the movie, up until the wedding. The second VHS tape was missing from the cabin. It was just a lovely romance to her.

When I was a child I watched the first tobey maguire spiderman and there's a scene where after he gets his powers he has his shirt off for the first time and is muscular.
