      There are also plenty of movies that don't end with every problem solved. They sometimes do it on purpose, like the Shakespearean tragedies, or they can't be bothered to sort it out, if its to do with minor characters, or they just don't think about what happens after the movie.

    • @Generalscorpio

      Huron .Blackheart Woody Allen reversed this concept in his film Crimes and Misdemeanors. The protagonist had a woman killed and afterwards he began feeling the moral consequences of his actions. But after learning that he can move on if he never gets caught and ignore the guilty feelings, the movie ends with him in a better place than he began.

      This is assuming that you haven't died as a result of whatever cataclysmic event has taken place. In action movies, the focus is on the hero thereby making any deaths aside from ones of main characters irrelevant and unnoticed. In any catastrophe, people are dying left and right whether it's a gigantic monster or a terrorist attack or some apocalypse, but they're not important. We don't see the after effects. We see the good guy win...and then all the casualties get tallied up as people have to heal and fix what's left off-screen.

      Key word: movie world. Everything is glamorized. In real life, due to the economy, having a dream job is rare unless you really like it. In real life, being an architect is less glamorous and you probably get in long drawn out fights w/ environmentalists.

    The first point is the most valid, about movie characters being easy to navigate. In real life, people have many many layers and are complicated. It's like she said. No one sits around exchanging exposition. People in real life operate frequently on assumptions and unspoken feelings. The problem with some movies is their misunderstandings are so freakishly contrived and unbelievably stupid and people often completely overreact. In real life, people tend to either suffer silently, not wanting to expose their hurt, or their anger becomes displaced and they start blowing up at everything instead of dealing with the actual problem. People run away from their problems metaphysically and try to keep up appearances of being "normal". [Bad] movies do none of these things and instead depict people behaving in the extreme sections on the human spectrum. (1) wildly confrontational with the people involved in the problem, spelling everything out; (2) completely ignore them, cutting off all communication. Things escalate and de-escalate very quickly. Of course, I need to make sure that I say not all movies are like this. In real life, things build up or break down slowly over time. Good movies really take the time to develop a world and history. They really give you a sense that the circumstances creating this problem have existed all along. For example, I think it's safe to say that most Disney and Pixar films use time skips. We are shown pieces coming into play while the protagonist is a child (or whatever). Time skip a decade later (or whatever), it becomes time for the protagonist to face the consequences of the poor decisions made in the past. Ironically, or perhaps sadly, the most realistic movies (not the most popular or best) are those that tend to have bittersweet endings. In these movies, actions have real consequences that affect the outcome of the characters (in ways that are realistic or believable). Movies that lack believability (based on the laws set within that fictional universe) -- because of no real consequences or two-dimensional characters -- feel very contrived and are painful to watch.
    ugh. I hate myself. Another wayward rant. Why do I have the compulsive need to comment all the time? My apologies. Also, great discussion, as always. Thanks for the upload. You guys are funny.

    • @ChrisBrooks34

      But your completely right, that is the way movie physics goes. In the beginning you have a geeky boy/girl who is teased and bullied throughout high school they graduate and become better then they meet the person who bullied them and create a giant plan to destroy them. Somewhere along the way the fall in love and they find out that they aren't the person who they thought they were and they all live happily ever after. You never have to confront your problems, things will always get better before you have to face anything.

    You think romantic comedies have a lot of architects? There's even more advertising executives. Seriously, why do you think every movie nowadays has the main character needing to get "the big account" otherwise his agency is going to go bankrupt? THERE'S TOO MANY AGENCIES! Too few ad contracts to go around! It's a tragically saturated job market, why do you think Jim Carey held onto his job in The Cable Guy? Nobody wants to do specialized technology work, they all want to go create shitty ad campaigns to sell apples to some demographic that wouldn't exist in real life except in the minds of deluded ad execs!

    But we're assuming that A) in a movie universe, everybody is the main character of their own movie and that B) your life is several movies. More than likely you'd be a side character, or an extra or just someone that's never actually IN the movie. So fascinating things would be happen, but not to you, and not constantly. Probably just once... depending on how much your movie makes that is.

    Can you imagine trying to live in a universe that has *montages* ?
    Think about it:
    Every time you want to learn a new skill, to practice a talent into mastery, or to travel ANYWHERE on the planet, music starts up and time fast-forwards to make the journey in a few minutes' time. And that would be cool if the time wasn't lost to you forever, that you had to live those fast-forward scenes that could take up months of your life that you couldn't do anything else. Your lifespan would be cut down dramatically simply due to those montages and, while you could obtain a skill or mastery of a talent quick and "easy," you'd also lose whatever social and emotional growth (as well as discipline) that comes with the skill-building process.
    Such a world would be horrifying because everyone is simply one montage away from success. Personal talent and latent creativity would become meaningless as everyone, upon entering a montage, could acquire the same abilities whenever they choose.
    Next topic... why being a police officer (not a detective, a plain-Jane uniformed cop) would be horrifying in a movie universe.

    Living in a movie universe would suck for everyone.

      ...in that universe, I can see three or four people(not main characters- people who aren't even in the movie) getting together and making a deal where Aaron, who is with the maid of honor Denise, arranges to marry Bea, the girlfriend of best man Charlie, but because of the laws of that universe, she ends up in Vegas having drunkenly married Charlie instead, in a Star Trek themed double wedding. Of course, the details of the deal are more vague than that so as to not tempt fate.

    Ah, but being socially awkward in real life, one of the most unattractive qualities and something that usually ensures that you remain a virgin for quite some time if not indefinitely, gets you more booty than a pirate in the world of movies.
    Just think about it, just think about all the movies about the geek going on a crazy, shenanigan-ridden adventure, at the end of which he lands the most smokin' babe on the block. Basically, if you're a nerd or an outcast IRL, then in a movie every other day you would go on a quirky, goofy little trip of self-discovery with your closest friends before scoring with an 11/10.
    Heck, it doesn't even need to be one of those teen rom-com movies in order for the nerd to see some action, it's pretty much commonplace for nerds and geeks in movies to get the girl and have the most fulfilling romantic lives and generally come out on top.

      gingervampireFTW First, you must find the stone of zullthar, and travel to the desert of vooqur and place it atop the pedestal of piety. This will transport you to Cthulhu's basement where you will search for the thong of ultimate wisdom. Then, and only then, will you achieve supreme enlightenment, and realize that not a single thing I've said has made any sense. Now go!

      Is it really worth it though? I mean that's just the beginning. Not to mention the psychological trauma and physical abuse nerd go through to get the girl... And afterwords? By the time the next day rolls around, you'd be the romcom douche telling people about your adventures and how badass you are for landing the 11/10. Then some other wimp will steal her from you.

    • @Wanessie
      @Wanessie 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The socially awkward person is usually the sidekick. One exception would be Bad-Ass (gets the girl). But then again, he is essentially his own sidekick since every other character in that entire universe is more badass than him. In most movies where the protagonist is socially awkward the main character often become less so as to explain how people can accept their oddness (they don't). Evil.

    Actually, a socially awkward trainwreck would do AMAZINGLY well in movie world. I mean, just look at Michael Cera.
    The socially awkward guy ALWAYS has at least two hot women vying for his attention in some way, and all of his problems end up solving themselves. Yes, there are a lot of problems, but the audience only ever sees the PROBLEMS. They never see the days, months, weeks, years, where NOTHING ever happens. We only get the "One week later", "3 months later", or something like that.
    If you lived in movie world, you've defeated the villain or got the girl (or both), and now you get to live through several uneventful months or years having amazing sex with some impossibly beautiful woman who you could never get in our world (and in movie world, the sex is always fantastic for everyone unless it's a plot point; eventually even those people become amazing at sex).
    And then when something DOES happen, it will only last for a few days at most, at which point your life will be even MORE awesome than before (unless you live in a trilogy; your life will get worse in the 2nd film, and then become much better in the third film).

      Deborah Taylor if you were to do that you would most likely start to avoid that thing either consciously or unconsciously and then it would change to show you die a different way and then you would begin avoiding that and it would either change back to the original or it would go onto something else until inevitably it comes to old age and no one can stop that. and also i know you were just quoting mike (i think that's his name) but i thought i'd point it out anyway.

    • @SniperSly

    There is implied down time between heart-crunching intense moments in movies; Stuff happens between Ghostbusters 1 and 2 (and all of it sucked), and The Shawshank Redemption didn't go over every single day Andy Dufrain spent in prison. An actual universe doesn't just skip ahead to exciting moments, it would have to obey time and space. Maybe a movie universe would go at a greater clip, but nothing would happen all at once; that's what time's there for.

    By the way.. they forget something, in movies people are not in constant advonture, there are always fast forwards to like days or months later where nothing interesting happens inbetween and with movies that have sequels there is usually a happy ending in the first one that turns around in the sequel which takes place like a year after the last movie which means the protagonist in that movie will have had at least one stable and happy year, and after the ending of the sequel he will have another stable happy few years

    I love after hours so much and is the reason i started loving Cracked but after seeing each episode for the 10th time i noticed a pattern. I noticed more and more how much after hours doesn't work. The idea that they are friends that meet up every month and talk about these things is nice. And them all being as obsessed as me about the little details and to have noticed so much and prepared for each month's meetup i can live with for the point of this show.
    My problem is that each character doesn't stick with their views from previous episodes. It's like they aren't friends and instead just like to argue about this stuff even if it's not the point they want to argue for/against. This episode is the best for clearly showing how much they don't like each other and they just like the whole socialising over their favourite shows and plots within. I bring this up because i think cracked should do an after hours of after hours where they deeply look into how each one would actually be miserable, living out awful lives and have aliases they live out when they meet up because how else would they be happy for that one day, the arguments are them letting out frustration on their lives yet at the end of the day each would go home to a sad life. What an amazing finale to an amazing show.
    In conclusion:
    these four people are not really friends
    they do not discuss their own views but rather just like to argue
    have sad lives
    use an alias while here to make them happier and help them get through
    CRACKED HAS TO DO AN EPISODE ON ITSELF ,BASIS IS HERE SO NO EXCUSES.
    i'm a huge fan and would love for you to do this. and i can go deeper into each point and could get evidence from episodes and may have enough too do a whole after hours on it, i just lack the skill. If anyone is interested then get in touch with me and i can talk more.
    p.s. i know you guys are getting sick of doing them as a few of you have said on other videos but they are brilliant and have led me on to watching every single video. posted by cracked, i think.
