Movies

Two problems with movies and TV series are the existence of troubling double standards and factual inaccuracies regarding historical pieces. Emily Blunt has said, “With so many movies, women are held to what a man considers a feminine ideal. You have to be pretty. You have to be ’likable.” That idea on its own can create a lot of inaccuracies, but it’s only half the story since double standards aren’t only applied to women but also for men.

When we watch our favorite movies and TV shows for a second time, we might notice that there are small mistakes in these elaborate productions. Although this certainly does not mean that they are worse than the rest, the question arises: how many mistakes made it to the screens unnoticed?

Most of us can remember the time when we missed a good opportunity, and there’s nothing pleasant about that. Psychologists think this feeling can be called melancholy, and they advise us to remind ourselves that these emotions won’t be with us forever and to keep our minds open for the future chances that will come. Another way to cope is to read about famous actors who refused iconic roles and see that we’re not alone in this.

When we are young and we watch movies, we only care about what’s next and what happens to our favorite characters. We don’t concentrate on how logical some things are or what their deep meaning is. However, when we get older we watch the same movies from a different prism. And that’s when we notice things we weren’t able to notice years prior.

The magic of movies focuses all its power on making us see amazing and uncommon things in real life. It may happen that one of the most common questions when leaving a movie theater is: “But how did they achieve something like that?” The truth is that Hollywood is an expert at making use of all kinds of tricks to achieve such realistic effects in their movies. That’s perhaps why we find it so entertaining to see images during moments of filming.

Disney movies are a great example of true love and dedication to the art of cinematography which keeps both children and adults alike practically glued to the screens for decades now. So much work goes into each piece, that one movie can take about five years in making. It’s not a surprise then that there are so many well-hidden details added to surprise the most attentive fans.

Sometimes film directors allow some inaccuracies in the movies intentionally to make the story smoother. But sometimes a little mistake seems to skip the trained eye of the filming crew, and remains in the movie even after post-production. We decided to find these little mistakes in our favorite movies and share them with you.

Myths are a common feature in movies, but it can be difficult to accept that reality may differ from what is depicted on screen. In this article, we aim to debunk some of the most persistent movie myths that have migrated from one film to another and have frustrated many viewers.

Filmmaking is both an art and a technical skill, especially with the use of special effects. Since the early days of movies, filmmakers have developed secret tricks that make films seem magical. Some of these tricks have leaked into the real world. Join us as we uncover some behind-the-scenes secrets that filmmakers might not want you to know.

The creation of a film or TV series is a complex and time-consuming process. It’s quite natural that during filming, small blunders can easily occur. However, there are instances when the plot itself contains rather unique inconsistencies that viewers are bound to notice sooner or later. And as a bonus, you’ll discover a common mistake that occurs in many movies.

It’s a very common belief that actors strictly follow the scripts and whatever the director tells them to do. But there are many moments during the production process where the actor’s instinct acts up and they tend to deliver an improvised bit in the scene. Sometimes, the directors themselves add a blooper or a rehearsed bit in the final cut because it adds gold to the particular scene. We’ve gathered such genius movie additions for you down below. Have a look!

Mistakes happen at every job and usually people try to notice them as quickly as possible in order to solve them. However, when it comes to movies, oftentimes mistakes can’t be corrected after the shooting is over. Or sometimes, the creators are consciously bending the truth a bit just to make the visuals a bit more appealing to the viewers. Luckily, there are people out there who will tear a movie apart and find even the slightest mistake.

Not every actor that has ever appeared in a beloved movie or TV series has managed to stay on top for decades. With so many talented thespians coming onto the scene every single year, some of the older ones are pushed aside. Some of them, though, manage to stay relevant one way or another and keep on having small or bigger roles. We are just glad that we have them around to remind us of the good old days.

Being close in age isn’t something that works for all people and all relationships. Sometimes people fall in love despite how big their age difference is and they make it work just fine. And this is something we often see in movies, where men are more commonly older than their female partners. And we sometimes don’t even realize how big their age gap is, since we get captivated by the story.

Oftentimes, in movies, a character calls for very specific characteristics. And while the producers could search for someone who looks exactly like the character’s description, they might not be as talented as needed for the role. That’s why they opt to hire super talented actors who are willing to transform however they have to.

When a movie is being created, many people are involved in the areas of their expertise. This means that there is a variety of ideas and different perspectives that make a movie unique. This includes even the smallest details that very few people will notice and maybe after they’ve watched a movie or series multiple times. We thought we’d share some of these details that we’d noticed.

When we watch movies starring our favorite actors, we tend to admire their characters’ beauty, quick-wittedness, charisma, and strength. Everything in their life seems perfect and enviable. But is it really so, or is it just the magic of movies that makes us believe in this ideal picture? We decided to take a peek behind the scenes and find out what was really happening during the production of some popular movies. And, as it turns out, the actors sometimes had to deal with very unusual and even awkward situations.

Watching movies is a super fun and popular pastime. But let’s not forget, making a film is no walk in the park. It takes a whole lot of time and money to make one. Even the most amazing movies can have tiny mistakes. In honor of these bloopers, we’ve made a list of sneaky errors that went unnoticed by most viewers.

Rejection is a big part of an actor’s career. However, sometimes they’re the ones who turn a job down. Unfortunately for them, on a few occasions, the role they said “no” to ends up winning the hearts of fans all over the world. From characters like Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany’s) to Neo (The Matrix), many beloved movies could’ve looked completely different.

Hollywood is constantly coming out with new remakes of beloved movies. But even though they can re-tell the story with different actors, they usually can’t give the fans exactly what they want: have the same actors return to their former roles. For that reason, we took it upon ourselves to see what a few movies would be like if the actors played their characters now.

Actors who are extremely nice and sweet in real life are often being asked to play the villain in a movie or TV series. There is something about being asked to play the exact opposite of what you are that feels very intriguing. Maybe it’s because you are already presented as a bad person, so you don’t have to worry about whether others will like you or not. The point is that we get used to seeing someone as the villain and we just have no idea what they used to look like or how they are now.

Hollywood is constantly introducing new actors to the world. However, only a few of them get to have decades-long careers. And when that happens, it’s common for us to forget what these successful stars looked like when they were young and get stuck with their current image. That’s why we decided to show you photos of some of our favorite stars from way back then.

Easter eggs can be a fun way for directors to pay tribute to other works, inside jokes, give hints, or just add an extra layer of enjoyment for dedicated viewers. These hidden treasures are a testament to the creativity and attention to detail of the creators as well as the viewers. Here are 13 subtle details from some famous movies and shows:

It’s quite a pleasant feeling to go through old photos or to rewatch old movies and TV shows we used to enjoy in the past because they make us nostalgic. They also remind us about our past selves and tell us how far we’ve come. However, time doesn’t stand still for actors from those films, either. We thought it would be interesting to see how they’ve changed, so we gathered some pics for this article.
