“Unbelievable Misinterpretations: 60 Movie Moments Where Viewers Totally Missed the Mark!”
One of my mom’s favorite movies is the 1997 adaptation of Lolita, which I always found a bit odd but she does love Jeremy Irons. I found out recently, about 3 years ago when she was watching it for the umpteenth time, that she was under the impression that the movie was about a college professor obsessed with one of his students.
she thought Lolita was supposed to be 18/19, and just finally realized that she’s supposed to be *a child*.
I have no idea how she missed that.
A friend of mine on watching Dracula: “What’s the point, you know who the vampire is from the start”.
My wife and I decided to watch The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019, Dev Patel), and about halfway though, she turned to me and asked, “so when does he start doing magic?”
She thought the movie, which takes place in the 1800’s, was about the magician, not based on the novel by Dickens.
We will never forget that movie night.
Edit: movie year.
Back when the first The Matrix was new, a group of us watched it in one of the science rooms. A girl in my class after it was finished said “yeah it was good but a bit unrealistic”.
I still think about this about once a year and get annoyed. .
My mom spent all of Edward Scissorhands pointing out all of the things that were not available in the 60’s.
She missed that it was a satire of suburbia in general.
