13 Questionable Movie KissesThat Make People Confused
Nothing deflates a film faster than a seemingly passionate kiss that appears out of nowhere. Unnecessary romance subplots are a way to turn an audience against a movie in a matter of seconds, whether you're watching a sci-fi epic or a '90s Disney movie about a child blowing through a million dollars in a week.
What factors decide if a movie kiss is unexplainable or not? A lot of things go into something like this: Is there chemistry between the leads? Is there a developing romance between the characters throughout the movie, or does it suddenly appear out of nowhere? Is it true that the kiss is creepy? Is it enough to make your skin crawl? Is it monotonous? You've landed on an incomprehensible movie kiss if you're asking yourself these questions while watching Angelina Jolie or Chris Evans kiss virtually anyone.
Preston, a 12-year-old boy, inherits a million dollars and spends it on a house, toys, and everything else he desires in this film. The FBI quickly suspects him of being involved in a money-laundering conspiracy due to his shopping binge.
To make matters worse, Beverly, Thompson's character, has a fascination for this 3-foot-tall talking duck. Howard spends the night with Bev around halfway through the film, and she makes some unorthodox advances on him. How far out are you willing to go? By the end of the scene, even Howard is crawling out of his skin.
The 1980s were undoubtedly strange, but this is something altogether else.
They're drenched in sweat and ash from fighting, and there's a deafening explosion in the background just before the crucial time. The breath is taken out of the movie as Rose lands a little kiss on Finn's lips.
The only way to make sense of John and Sarah's kiss is to assume Johnson and Gadot were separately green-screened into the picture and smooshed together to construct anything like a kiss. We'll remain on Team Red Notice until the sun explodes if it turns out to be the case.
The kiss that is. Jolie moves in to kiss Depp in a European hotel room, and despite the megaton amount of celebrity power these two have, the kiss is like witnessing two cardboard cut-outs rubbing cheeks with one other. The fact that there's a cutaway of Interpol personnel photographing them further adds to the strangeness of the situation.
It's as though the agents are aware of the bizarre nature of the situation.
To make matters even more complicated, after the Avengers beat Thanos and Steve travels back in time to live his life, doesn't that make him Peggy's uncle? It's best not to consider it.
These two never had any on-screen chemistry, and Kylo spent the first two films of the series attempting to assassinate Rey using different sci-fi methods (lightsabers, giant lasers, Force choking). So, what's the deal with the kiss?
Maybe the powers just wanted to send the audience home happy, or maybe seeing Kylo transform into pure energy after killing the great villain would have been a terrible drag. In any case, it's still a memorable occasion.
Casey places a big ol' kiss on Jordan when he eventually takes control of Missouri and saves the day. The kiss itself is disgusting, but given the circumstances, these two should be in therapy rather than having a make-out session.
This moment, as sweet as it is, is nonetheless really off-putting. Even if it's a pity kiss, it's still completely improper and reinforces Mark's weird conduct. Inexplicable isn't even close to describing how I feel right now; it's simply incredibly sad.
There's no need for these two teenagers to kiss in the story, but fans know Harry and Ginny will marry after the events of the next volume. It would be as strange if they didn't kiss at some time. Over here in the Wizarding World, it's a no-win situation.
Claire repeatedly pops Owen's face with a rifle just before a dinosaur is about to bite into it and chew him up like a tiny dino snack. For a character that hasn't done anything but moans and run about in heels for most of the film, it's a really fantastic scene. The kiss, on the other hand, comes next.
At best, Linguini's relationship with Colette, the restaurant's rôtisseur, is shaky. He's genuinely bad at his work, and she knows she should be in charge. Colette is just seconds away from spraying Linguini with a scalding dash of pepper spray at the incident in question, but Remy pulls his human marionette towards Colette and the kiss is broken.
As if that wasn't awful enough, Lois stops the kiss to add, "After the first kiss, things go downhill." Isn't this the improper moment for anything like this?
