Movie/TV clichés
Yesterday, The Lady I Walked To The Registry Office With watched The Thomas Crown Affair on DVD. I was in the same room, but wasn’t really paying attention to what was going on.
At one point, Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo are having a ruck in the car and she tells him to stop the car and let her out.
The Lady I Walked To The Registry Office With then said, “I bet she’ll get out of the car and stomp purposefully into a forest as though she’s in desperate need of a dump, and he’ll run after he as though she’s forgotten to take any paper with her” – which is exactly what happened.
The Lady I Walked To The Registry Office With had never seen the film before, but claimed that’s always what happens when women insist that the driver stop the car to let them out. I have my doubts, but she insisted she’d seen ‘loads of films’ with similar scenes. She couldn’t actually name any, though.
