Movie Rules: The Unwritten Laws Of Cinema
Lights, camera, action! We all love movies, but have you ever noticed there are some unwritten rules that most films seem to follow? Let's dive into the hilarious and often predictable world of movie "rulz." Buckle up, film fans!
The Protagonist Always Wins (Eventually)
No matter how dire the situation, the main character usually finds a way to triumph. It might take a montage, a pep talk, or a sudden burst of unexpected skill, but victory is almost always on the horizon. Think Rocky Balboa, Luke Skywalker, or even Elle Woods – underdogs who rise to the occasion.
Explosions Fix Everything
Got a problem? Just add an explosion! From car chases to building collapses, explosions are the duct tape of the movie world. They solve problems, create drama, and look really, really cool. Michael Bay, we salute you!
Bad Guys Have Terrible Aim
Stormtroopers, henchmen, generic bad dudes – they all suffer from remarkably poor aim. They can fire hundreds of bullets and still miss the hero, who, of course, manages to hit every single shot. It’s a tough life being a movie villain.
Technology Fails at the Worst Possible Moment
Need to make a suspenseful scene even more suspenseful? Have the phone die, the car break down, or the computer crash at the exact moment it's needed most. It’s a classic trope that keeps us on the edge of our seats.
Running is Always More Effective Than Driving
Picture this: a hero is being chased through a city. Do they jump in a car and drive away? Nope! They run, because running through crowded streets, jumping over obstacles, and narrowly avoiding capture is way more cinematic.
The 'One Last Job' Always Goes Wrong
A seasoned professional, weary of their dangerous life, decides to take on "one last job" before retiring to a tropical island. Predictably, everything goes sideways, forcing them back into the game for one final, epic showdown. It’s a tale as old as time (or at least as old as Hollywood).
Final Thoughts
These are just a few of the many unwritten rules that make movies so entertaining. While we might chuckle at their predictability, these tropes are part of what makes the movie experience so enjoyable. So, next time you're watching a film, keep an eye out for these classic "rulz" in action!
