In 2018, we saw more diversity than ever in Hollywood movies and the rest of the movie industry. They included actors with various backgrounds, ethnicities, body types, races, and sexual orientations. But if you think this resulted in completely creative and unique movies, you’re wrong. Movie clichés are as popular as always, and sometimes it seems that every possible scene is some kind of cliché.
After one Twitter user tweeted one of these clichés, the topic quickly went viral. Here are many tweets that perfectly describe how movies today are made.
Hello, I'm an alien in a movie and I want to invade planet earth – when I say planet earth, I mean the US.

Well, now. I’m the police tech who can miraculously ‘enhance’ that grainy bit of CCTV footage and zoom in so that you can see the killer’s reflection in the victim’s wedding ring. Everything will be controlled by me hammering furiously at the keyboard, and I’ll never hit ‘ENTER’.

Hello. I’m a computer geek in a movie. I can break into any system by typing random keys extremely fast then shouting ‘I’m in!’ All the while this is happening green text will be projected scrolling up my face. My T shirt has a band on it too.

I am a suburban/urban housewife in a movie about my kids. Every morning I make a full four course breakfast, and every morning each member of my family eats a bite of toast, bolts down two gulps of orange juice, and rushes out the door. do I just throw the rest away? nobody knows https://t.co/8cIwPsFGcI

Hi, I’m a pregnant lady in a movie. My waters break in a huge gush at the most inconvenient time while I experience my first and very painful contraction. Very soon I push a 3 month old out in one screaming heave. Baby is miraculously not attached to anything.

Hello, I am a chubby black woman in a movie. I am just here to be your sassy friend with the witty comebacks. Mostly, I'll just say "Girrrrrrllllllluh" and "mm hm" a lot in addition to shaking my head in disapproval.

Hi, i’m a ‘nerdy’ girl in your local high school, you probably haven’t noticed me because i wear glasses & my hair in a tight braid. That is, until some girls give me a makeover for the prom, i take off the glasses & let my hair down (literally) then you see my ‘true beauty’ 💏

I'm a military radar technician in a movie and I don't exist until I say "sir, you'd better take a look at this" and then I'm never seen or heard from again.

Hi, I'm any character in a movie that uses a taxi. After reaching the destination, I don't wait to hear the cost; I simply pull out any money from my wallet, hand it to the cabby and don't wait for any change. I could be handing out hundreds and never know. Now I may be broke.

Hello, I'm a lab scientist in a movie. I wear my hair down in flowing waves, and don no gloves as I handle chemicals with the pipette I'm holding the wrong way. Also test results come in a split second at the push of a button on a miracle machine.

Hi. I`m the new temporary teacher in a high school, whose class is deemed unteachable. I know, however, that they are `good kids` who `have been let down by society` After facing a crisis with the school board, the kids start studying, get A grades and go to college
