Community member Publish Not your original work? Add source Remember watching something in a movie you wanted to repeat? Well, fiction is not only there for escapism; many writers/filmmakers want spectators to be wiser and adapt lessons characters learned to real life. They convincingly use words, directing, cinematography and music to portray emotions. Of course, not every film has a profound lesson in it. Some are pure entertainment or teach bad lessons. And that's ok. Anime and gaming fan Micu was thinking about what an "awful message" the musical Grease delivers and asked Reddit "What's a movie that teaches a really bad lesson?" She received over 6k responses. Rom-coms and action movies got a lot of smack in the thread. Scroll down for the best ones, and an interview with Micu. This post may include affiliate links. #1 just about every rom com that teaches men that 'no' means 'keep trying' instead of 'f&%k off'. daddyshotmess , His Girl Friday Report Final score: 307points POST Vicky Z Vicky Z Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Again not romantic cut it out! 59 59points reply View More Replies...

It’s a movie about a guy who was ab$#ed perpetuating the cycle of abuse with the thin veneer of “it’s okay because he’s rich and this is how BDSM works.” The f%^k it does; almost all the characters are all sh$^ty people.

She's doing fine until her friend makes a website about it and a being pool starts. Suddenly everyone is trying to get her in bed.
Meanwhile she meets this really great guy who teaches her that love doesn't have to involve sex, you can have a great time and even be intimate without f@#king.
Still, she's so horny, you guys. At the end of the 40 days, she literally handcuffs herself to a bed to keep from letting anyone f@#k her.
The pool is up to huge amounts of money now.
Then her ex boyfriend walks in. He sees her tied up, so he ra&#s her. He claims the prize money and literally rides off into the sunset.
The s*#^ty girl is upset because her awesome new boyfriend might not accept her now that she cheated on him by being r&#ed but it turns out he's ok with it.
Oh wait oops I accidentally reversed the genders of all those characters.

Any action movie where someone disarms someone who has a knife. Don’t try that. If possible, run the fuck away.
Fifty shades of grey. Shit writing aside, that’s not how you do bdsm, relationships or anything in between. It’s not romantic. It’s creepy. Why in the fuck did anyone like that movie? Zeelthor , The Notebook Report Final score: 135points POST Pamela24 Pamela24 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago The worst part of the Notebook is when he threatens that he will kill himself if she doesn't go out with him. So toxic, not at all romantic. 52 52points reply View More Replies... View more comments In 1934-1941, as divorce rates grew, Hollywood's screwball comedies, like His Girl Friday, It Happened One Night, and Adam's Rib started incorporating the theme of remarriage, which later was recognized as a subgenre by philosopher Stanley Cavell, who dedicated a whole book to it in 1979 called Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage. It's important to note that female characters in these films were independent and still chose to come back to their husbands, even though these screwball comedies show marriage as a miserable situation. #15 Revenge of the Nerds can’t even claim it’s satirical. The nerds are just as bad - if not worse - than the jocks. Yes the jocks started it by running a few pigs through their party. What the nerds do is far worse but really only at the expense of the easier targets - their women.
Other than the humility of losing in what is effectively a few competitions they cheat at (along with some Tigers Balm in their jockstraps), the Lambdas don’t really get revenge on the jocks, they take it out on their women.
First they spy on them in the nude. Then they distribute the nude photos to the school. Finally Lewis r*^es Betty Childs. All because like four girlfriends helped the jocks with the pigs?
And the idea that it’s okay because Lewis is good in bed is beyond disturbing. She doesn’t just accept it, she decides she’s “in love with a nerd.” That movie was written by some serious incels.

He recognized the capabilities of cinema as a thought-shaping tool in a country with a large percentage of illiterate people. The Commisar stressed the importance of showing films in remote villages where people hadn't seen any, thus propaganda there would be even more effective. #18 Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.

It's entertainment, not documentary. We shouldn't expect a work of fiction to teach us anything. If it does teach something good, besides being entertaining, that's wonderful, but not every film is there to teach anything. So many nice films have been ruined by this approach because people taught it "was teaching a bad lesson", while really, no, the film was just supposed to make you reflect upon what you just saw, possibly making you create your own new thoughts. And, before you school me on how sensitive is the youth, I was always taught that fiction is no reality and thus need not be emulated in real life. Heck, there are things that are funny BECAUSE you wouldn't do them in real life. 22 22points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) So, yes, please, change the cliché tropes, but let's not get all self-righteous about it.

Geoffers Geoffers Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago @Daria B came here to say the same thing, but you phrased it better than I could. Nobody criticises Top Gun for making pilots think that pulling both throttles backwards will make the aircraft accelerate, or in a later scene that pushing both throttles forwards will not only make it slow down but also deploy the speed brakes. Nobody criticises Predator for making soldier think that an M134 minigun can be carried around with a backpack, inspite of needing a regulated 24v DC power supply and more electronics than an Apple store just to switch it on, weighing about 40kg dry, and going through about 4 kg of ammunition per *second*. However, high school movie that doesn't show them doing homework? Criminal offence. Nanny using her umbrella to fly? All good. Teaching people it's perfectly safe to be in the path of a high powered laser as long as you've got another laser to deflect it with?

However sometimes no matter how we try to prepare, things will rub off on us simply by hearing the same message over and over. I think the media is somewhat responsible for using certain tropes less. (You might feel the same?) For example, I know I do not need to look perfect. But even knowing this fact hasn't entirely protected me from the brain-washing. Despite all evidence and knowledge that I am ok, I still feel like I do not measure up to standards. 3 3points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Absolutely. The tropes themselves aren't an inherently bad thing. It's the repetitive nature of it, which creates a cliché, that sometimes can be funny, but obviously, we're mostly tired of these things and are demanding a twist. 1 1point reply Random Anon Random Anon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Yup, I see movies as entertainment. Nothing more nothing less. If I want reality I watch the news. I don't even care if there is no lesson "learnt" as long as it's... entertaining. Now if someone gained any insight from a show that rocked their world, all the power to them. But personally I think it is a terrible idea to use movies as a source of inspiration in this matter. 0 0points reply Randolph Croft Randolph Croft Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Any movie where the protagonist is suddenly thrust into a new adventure and expects to become a super-pro in a stupidly short period of time.

Prior to that, Ariel very clearly states what she wants: to be where the people are & to see them dancing, to spend the day warm on the sand, to ask questions and get answers, to be understood & not reprimanded for being herself, to explore a world that she currently cannot be part of. 4 4points reply Meami Meami Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago The little mermaid drives me nuts. 0 0points reply Shine Caramia Shine Caramia Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This movie is cited so often but I completely disagree. Ariel wanted to be human well before she knew anything about Prince Eric. She fled her home after her father destroyed her most precious belongings in a violent rage. She was willing to give up her voice but learned just how much she needed it. No, The Little Mermaid is full of great messages. 0 0points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) I might get schooled and downvoted for this, but - no, I'm not going to defend any of these films, I dislike most of these tropes just as much as everyone else - I just think we should change our approach to how we see the entertainment industry. It's entertainment, not documentary. We shouldn't expect a work of fiction to teach us anything. If it does teach something good, besides being entertaining, that's wonderful, but not every film is there to teach anything. So many nice films have been ruined by this approach because people taught it "was teaching a bad lesson", while really, no, the film was just supposed to make you reflect upon what you just saw, possibly making you create your own new thoughts. And, before you school me on how sensitive is the youth, I was always taught that fiction is no reality and thus need not be emulated in real life. Heck, there are things that are funny BECAUSE you wouldn't do them in real life. 22 22points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) So, yes, please, change the cliché tropes, but let's not get all self-righteous about it.

Geoffers Geoffers Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago @Daria B came here to say the same thing, but you phrased it better than I could. Nobody criticises Top Gun for making pilots think that pulling both throttles backwards will make the aircraft accelerate, or in a later scene that pushing both throttles forwards will not only make it slow down but also deploy the speed brakes. Nobody criticises Predator for making soldier think that an M134 minigun can be carried around with a backpack, inspite of needing a regulated 24v DC power supply and more electronics than an Apple store just to switch it on, weighing about 40kg dry, and going through about 4 kg of ammunition per *second*. However, high school movie that doesn't show them doing homework? Criminal offence. Nanny using her umbrella to fly? All good. Teaching people it's perfectly safe to be in the path of a high powered laser as long as you've got another laser to deflect it with?

However sometimes no matter how we try to prepare, things will rub off on us simply by hearing the same message over and over. I think the media is somewhat responsible for using certain tropes less. (You might feel the same?) For example, I know I do not need to look perfect. But even knowing this fact hasn't entirely protected me from the brain-washing. Despite all evidence and knowledge that I am ok, I still feel like I do not measure up to standards. 3 3points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Absolutely. The tropes themselves aren't an inherently bad thing. It's the repetitive nature of it, which creates a cliché, that sometimes can be funny, but obviously, we're mostly tired of these things and are demanding a twist. 1 1point reply Random Anon Random Anon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Yup, I see movies as entertainment. Nothing more nothing less. If I want reality I watch the news. I don't even care if there is no lesson "learnt" as long as it's... entertaining. Now if someone gained any insight from a show that rocked their world, all the power to them.

30 Movies That Teach Terrible Lessons As Pointed Out By People In This Online Group Interview
128Kviews Gabija JanCommunity member Publish Not your original work? Add source Remember watching something in a movie you wanted to repeat? Well, fiction is not only there for escapism; many writers/filmmakers want spectators to be wiser and adapt lessons characters learned to real life. They convincingly use words, directing, cinematography and music to portray emotions. Of course, not every film has a profound lesson in it. Some are pure entertainment or teach bad lessons. And that's ok. Anime and gaming fan Micu was thinking about what an "awful message" the musical Grease delivers and asked Reddit "What's a movie that teaches a really bad lesson?" She received over 6k responses. Rom-coms and action movies got a lot of smack in the thread. Scroll down for the best ones, and an interview with Micu.

View more comments In 1934-1941, as divorce rates grew, Hollywood's screwball comedies, like His Girl Friday, It Happened One Night, and Adam's Rib started incorporating the theme of remarriage, which later was recognized as a subgenre by philosopher Stanley Cavell, who dedicated a whole book to it in 1979 called Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage. It's important to note that female characters in these films were independent and still chose to come back to their husbands, even though these screwball comedies show marriage as a miserable situation. #15 Revenge of the Nerds can’t even claim it’s satirical. The nerds are just as bad - if not worse - than the jocks. Yes the jocks started it by running a few pigs through their party. What the nerds do is far worse but really only at the expense of the easier targets - their women.
Other than the humility of losing in what is effectively a few competitions they cheat at (along with some Tigers Balm in their jockstraps), the Lambdas don’t really get revenge on the jocks, they take it out on their women.
First they spy on them in the nude. Then they distribute the nude photos to the school. Finally Lewis r*^es Betty Childs. All because like four girlfriends helped the jocks with the pigs?
And the idea that it’s okay because Lewis is good in bed is beyond disturbing. She doesn’t just accept it, she decides she’s “in love with a nerd.” That movie was written by some serious incels.

That's concealment really...
A .22 will go through a car door or a couch.
A car isn't even cover like in Jon Wick or anything. Rifle rounds will zip right through unless it's a solid engine block hit.

I will use that knowledge in any upcoming firefight. 50 50points reply View More Replies...

To me, it's when needs in a relationship aren't met for a prolonged period of time, or when people lose themselves in the flow of a relationship that they actually feel trapped in, people can make bad decisions, for which they ultimately can be forgiven for, if the appropriate effort is done.

Ariel wanted to be human well before she knew anything about Prince Eric. She fled her home after her father destroyed her most precious belongings in a violent rage. She was willing to give up her voice but learned just how much she needed it. No, The Little Mermaid is full of great messages. 0 0points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) I might get schooled and downvoted for this, but - no, I'm not going to defend any of these films, I dislike most of these tropes just as much as everyone else - I just think we should change our approach to how we see the entertainment industry. It's entertainment, not documentary. We shouldn't expect a work of fiction to teach us anything. If it does teach something good, besides being entertaining, that's wonderful, but not every film is there to teach anything. So many nice films have been ruined by this approach because people taught it "was teaching a bad lesson", while really, no, the film was just supposed to make you reflect upon what you just saw, possibly making you create your own new thoughts. And, before you school me on how sensitive is the youth, I was always taught that fiction is no reality and thus need not be emulated in real life. Heck, there are things that are funny BECAUSE you wouldn't do them in real life. 22 22points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) So, yes, please, change the cliché tropes, but let's not get all self-righteous about it.

Geoffers Geoffers Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago @Daria B came here to say the same thing, but you phrased it better than I could. Nobody criticises Top Gun for making pilots think that pulling both throttles backwards will make the aircraft accelerate, or in a later scene that pushing both throttles forwards will not only make it slow down but also deploy the speed brakes. Nobody criticises Predator for making soldier think that an M134 minigun can be carried around with a backpack, inspite of needing a regulated 24v DC power supply and more electronics than an Apple store just to switch it on, weighing about 40kg dry, and going through about 4 kg of ammunition per *second*. However, high school movie that doesn't show them doing homework? Criminal offence. Nanny using her umbrella to fly? All good. Teaching people it's perfectly safe to be in the path of a high powered laser as long as you've got another laser to deflect it with? Not a problem. 4 4points reply Elli Melli Elli Melli Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Well, relationship skills are for everyone, unlike flying an aircraft or using war equipment. 0 0points reply pusheen buttercup pusheen buttercup Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I think your side and the other side both have good points. :) We shouldn't view entertainment all the time as an "example of how the world is." However sometimes no matter how we try to prepare, things will rub off on us simply by hearing the same message over and over. I think the media is somewhat responsible for using certain tropes less. (You might feel the same?) For example, I know I do not need to look perfect. But even knowing this fact hasn't entirely protected me from the brain-washing. Despite all evidence and knowledge that I am ok, I still feel like I do not measure up to standards. 3 3points reply Daria B Daria B Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Absolutely. The tropes themselves aren't an inherently bad thing. It's the repetitive nature of it, which creates a cliché, that sometimes can be funny, but obviously, we're mostly tired of these things and are demanding a twist. 1 1point reply Random Anon Random Anon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Yup, I see movies as entertainment.
