Yeah... movies will also tell you that EVERYTHING explodes at the slightest provocation, that getting shot pretty much anywhere but the head or heart isn't a big deal and won't actually kill you in minutes, that you have to be read your rights on arrest or they have to let you go or something, that a 'silencer' actually silences a gun, that people moving from the city to the country pretty much always buy a gigantic old house that needs fixing up (I find that one really weird, and it's everywhere), that you'll actually explode if exposed to vacuum, that working people who neglect their families do it because they they have to finish the next big project or presentation that they must invest all their time into when reality is more like a lot of little projects, deadlines, and mostly useless meetings that just grind you down over time, and a plethora of other stupid, insane, ridiculous, or just completely and obviously wrong tropes they repeat over an over again. I wouldn't get my information about the world from movies, if I were you.
