Things I learned from movies as a kid

Tweet

Here are a few things I figured out about the world from watching movies when I was really young. Most of these movies were on the late show. Women couldn't have children if they didn't have husbands. I knew this because men would sometimes ask women if they had children and they would reply, no, I'm not married (these are older movies). When a man grabbed a woman and kissed her passionately, it was her duty to fight and beat on his chest before passionately kissing him back. People could shoot guns without aiming and almost always hit their marks. Even if they were at a full gallop on a horse and shooting in any direction. Hercules' mouth moved differently from the words he spoke. Sadly, most Native Americans were shown as terrible, while cowboys were shown as good. You could always tell the bad guys from the good guys, because of the way they dressed, their shifty eyes, or by their demeanor. Women liked to slap men a great amount of times, and that slap was as loud as a gun shot. Sometimes it was normal to break out into a song during a regular conversation. Couples could fall in love instantly or out of love instantly and then back again in love. I wanted background music in my life. Not really I recently heard this as a joke that a major wrong in our lives is we don't have background music. I'm sure there are many, many more but that's all I can think of. Did you learn any "truths" from films when you were a kid?
