10 Recent Movie Scenes Everyone Misunderstood

Another Hollywood trope of when pulling of a Pearl necklace the pearls go everywhere. That would show them being fake as real Pearl necklaces are knotted at each pearl and only the two that are at the break would fall off.

[@wilsoncrunch1330]

@@iangray1980 Very true to anyone who know how to look for fake pearls and while nothing is 100% true in the retail world this is one major way to spot fakes or low level pearls. "To prevent their shell from chipping, pearls are often separated by knots. Not all pearls are knotted, though. Fake pearls usually don't have a surface that is as sensitive to pressure and rubbing, and that's why they don't need knots. Often, low-quality pearls are also not knotted."

The scene in Mockingjay part 2 where Katniss and Snow talk in the rose garden. People seem to believe he’s trying to convince her of what he’s saying, but he’s actually letting her know that he knows she’s lying about not believing him. She does believe him. She’s just so in denial that she can’t be honest.

[@philmorton4590]

That was an interesting scene. Brilliant acting on both sides, definitely got you thinking and set-up the ending really well. But I think the audience actually understood the purpose of the dialogue. So doesn't meet the requirements of this list.

[@philmorton4590]

"The eternals movie being seen as a technique or strategy for proving thanos right to destroy half of all life" fits but thanos was acting with knowledge of the celestials. Thanos in the comics is an eternal, so he actually knows all about the celestials and their mode of operandi. As proof in the eternals movie starfox was present and is an eternal and adopted brother of thanos. Further proof titan, thanos's home planet's gravity was all over the place in the movie infinity war which implies a celestial already emerge from that planet and thanos was actually getting revenge on the celestials.

[@Garr3ttGuy]

So you’re just gonna ignore the fact Titan is still intact though? If a celestial hatched from it shouldn’t it be destroyed?

Was what Thanos did a genocide? I was taught the goal of a genocide was the total elimination of a group or groups of people, but Thanos had a goal percentage and no desire to go past it. At least until the second Thanos said his original plan wasn't enough.

[@MilloSpiegel]

Maybe mass murder is more correct

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

That's a good point. He states in Infinity War specifically that the 50 percent would be chosen at complete random. No favorites. He didn't specify that he would eradicate entire species. If that did happen it was purely by chance.

Thinking Gurney is dead is part of the plot, its not misunderstood. Also, thinking that everything is wrapped up in part 1 of a 2 part movie doesn't make a lot of sense. Do these people have problems with object permanence too? If they close their eyes do they think I am dead?

[@TalentCaldwell]

You’d be shocked at just how pervasive the amount of people who have trouble with object permanence. Listen to a few people give their defense for why “the Earth is flat” and it becomes apparent that they have trouble perceiving concepts, reality, or events outside of their own visual perception.

[@RainaEmms]

I would argue you could put an entire sequence into this with Canto Bight in 'The Last Jedi' because everyone always yells that it's pointless and a waste of time because it doesn't succeed and that just proves how they missed what it was about. The entire film is about failure and learning from it and that sequence epitomizes that theme with Finn getting his chance to grow as a character into someone who now feels like he has a place in the galaxy.

[@WeyounSix]

thats a copout for a useless part of the movie

[@RainaEmms]

@@WeyounSix thanks for proving my point.

[@RoonMian]

@@RainaEmms The scene also has the purpose of showing that the whole fight between good and evil in the Star Wars universe is pointless because it will always keep going on for the profit of war profiteers.

[@ThePretenderGirl]

Another scene everyone misunderstood was the final scene of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Everyone thinks that Will Turner is returning to Elizabeth and their son for good. But that's just the one day every ten years he gets to spend in this world. Will Turner has to return to his duties for another ten years after that one day, and would only be able to return for one more day another ten years later.

[@philmorton4590]

That's a very good point, that scene was suppose to put the audience at ease, it did that well, but yeah we really didn't want to see the truth of it. well until the last one where they break all curses. But then we were suppose to get more Davey Jones from the very last clip of the franchise at the end of dead men tell no tales, but I don't see that happening.

For Spencer, Kristen and everyone else involved in the film made it clear that it wasn’t an actual biopic. They never said it was. Plus even if they didn’t say anything, common sense should tell you that anything involving the royal family is going to be dramatized without knowing the real truth since the “royals” try like hell to keep secrets about their family troubles OR the people that come out as a “source” can’t be trusted either since they are all about maintaining a good image but they failed at that decades ago. Also, the scene with Diana eating pearls in her food was just a reference to Diana’s eating disorder that she struggled with and she said this herself about having bulimia in her infamous BBC interview she did in 1995.

[@mattreynolds7729]

Matrix 4 was not force by WB. That was just a cop out scene in the film to redirect blame on how bad the movie was. Lana has repeatedly said she wrote Matrix 4 after the death of her parents, and she used it as a way to deal with the grief and brought back her two favourite characters. This was 100% Lana, and it's no wonder her sister didn't come back as co-director.

I'm really surprised by these as I never took them to mean anything other than what they were. I didn’t feel like the Matrix was setting up a new movie considering how it relied on looking back and using old footage. I never imagined Brian would be returning and was just a nice moment. He never even go out of the car. The Eternals made so little sense I couldn't even add it to the rest of the universe. In a story where Diana imagined herself as Anne Boleyn I understood the pearl eating as symbolic. I'm also certain that she never walked out on a shooting range to demand her kids back. She did take them to a fast food drive in though, that is true.

[@nathanmichael167]

I still it's Venom and Adrenaline. In honestly ,we don't know what the chemical formula of Venom is. With this being a grounded universe, and Mat Reeves loves setting up mysteries, this could easily be one of the ways that Batman is able to do what he does . We're heading into a No Man's Land type story. And ... well. Having a Batman who needs this lighter form of Venom, having someone else take the formula and perfect it, using his hold over thsi formula to run the decimated gotham.

[@michelbidart7286]

That scene was totally about Venom. Either it is a version of Venom or it's what inspires Batman to go after Venom in the future. The whole scene with Batman losing control seems way off and unnecessary unless there is some other reason behind it. And Matt Reeves is not that kind of director, to just let it slide.

[@CRAFT7445]

I've always found a problem with the word usage of "reduced half the world's population." Not only was it limited to the human side of the population, but when you indiscriminately remove a significant portion of the human population, the rest of the world runs full-tilt into chaos. How many died as a result of people NOT being there (pilots flying planes, the millions of vehicle drivers, single parents with young kids who can't take care of themselves)? Or companies that couldn't be run properly because top officials weren't there to authorize major decisions (directors/managers don't have company access needed for these decisions)? Street crimes would spike immediately, power outages cascade across the grid when people don't show up for work (either 'snapped', afraid to leave the house, can't find transportation). I know it's a fictional 'kids' movie, but in the days after the initial release of Infinity War there were many people who said things like "Why didn't he just double the available food instead of killing everyone?"

[@jean-paulmita2957]

Best. Ad. Ever.

[@DJPrince2032]

Lol adrenaline is clear and does not induce a rage like state. And I love that you gave no evidence as to why it’s not venom. And yet there is a Batman story where Batman takes venom before Bane ever makes an appearance in the comics. Sure it may not be venom or a sort of pre-venom, but the movie gave a other comic references like Hush, so although it may not be, it definitely leans more likely to be venom than not at this point.

Thing about Thanos was he killed 1/2 the people because there was too many people for the resources of the planet. It makes no sense that he would do it to stop the Celestial being born because he could of just snapped the celestial out of existence. But then i didnt watch Eternals so maybe they explain why Thanos couldnt do that and snapping 1/2 half of life was his plan B.

[@mikearisbrocken8507]

Actually my main problem with Thanos' plan is that it doesn't actually solve the problem. If a tire burst, you don't simply try to inflate it again, you try to find the pincture and patch it. The problem is either the finite amount of resources or the ambition of life to keep growing regardless of resource limits, halving the amount of life in the universe will just delay the final outcome. It is a stupid, stupid plan.

[@sadie9728]

Just another plothole. Kind of like if the snap had to do with resources, why tf did he snap half of ALL life? Including the animals we eat, thus also snapping our resources almost 50% too, thus putting us right back in the same situation? Stupid. As. Hell.

[@Grabthar191]

The problem was they tried to give Thanos some kind of moral motivation, and it falls flat. They should have just kept the motivation of the comic book character in that he wanted to impress the incarnation of death by handing her half the universe's souls at once. Hence why he was called the Mad Titan. Or, just give him a grudge against life. Make him out for revenge for some imagined slight, that he is willing to snap away half the universe so the other half will feel the pain of their loss. While it might be interesting at times to have the villain with pseudo moral motivations, or justification, if you do that all the time it can get boring or contradictory. Sometimes it is just good to make the bad guy bad, make him very bad indeed.
