Why the Biggest On-Screen Plot Holes Aren’t Actually Ruining Your Favorite Movies

Plot Holes, Movie Mistakes and TV Inconsistencies—they’re among the biggest headaches for movie and TV audiences. They can undermine our favorite stories and shatter our suspension of disbelief. But guess what? They might not always be the story-killers we make them out to be or as big of a deal as we make them out to be —sometimes we don’t even notice them until long after the credits roll (and plenty of so-called “plot holes” aren’t actually plot holes at all). In this video, we’ll take a look and explore why these narrative slips happen, break down some of the most famous examples in movie and TV history, and reveal why, in the end, they might not matter nearly as much as we think. Get ready to see “plot holes” in a whole new light!
