Films are exaggerated dramatizations of our lives. The actors express at a high level the crazy levels of emotion that people have to reach in order to enjoy their behavior in every situation.

All the above-mentioned quibbling is just to say that in many screenplays, emotions are more important than logistics.

And these logistical overrides in movies can also be called plot holes.

While many people are quick to say, “Wait a minute, that doesn’t make sense!” There are cases where films were more secretly calculated than fans initially thought.

The meeting between Neo and the architect in Matrix: Reloaded is filled with a lot of technical jargon. However, one user pointed out a detail that many had missed about the screens in the background of this scene.

“On the screens behind it… the machines’ predictions of Neo’s reactions are shown. In most scenes, these predictions are wrong, except when Neo has to choose between Trinity and all of humanity. There, the machines accurately predicted that reaction on all screens.”

“The Truman Show”

Elle Woods’ greatest character trait has escaped many viewers who Naturally blonde. And because of this misunderstanding, the film takes on a whole different meaning. Many believe the film is about a chick from LA who works hard and manages to pass the LSAT exam in a single summer.

Of course, people criticized this as a highly unlikely jump in such a short amount of time. However, this Redditor wrote that the movie is about Elle being gifted, which is evidenced by her interaction with a scam salesman at the beginning of the film.

They explain: “Rather, Elle was pigeonholed into living a superficial life because of her looks and privileged upbringing. Despite being inspired by the wrong reasons, she broke out of the mold she was trapped in and was able to reach her full potential.”

This isn’t really a “plot hole,” but a different perspective on an often-overlooked aspect of Jenny’s character might make you see Forrest’s love in a different light. While there are hordes of people calling her one of the “worst villains in all of cinema,” this Reddit user explains her character differently.

Having been abused by her father, she hated herself for taking advantage of someone she wasn’t sure could understand love.

“She didn’t believe he was emotionally capable of knowing what true love was. She didn’t want to turn into her father. Not with the only person who actually treated her like a human being.”

But the film explains it straight away: ghosts only see what they want to see.”
