Reply to comment by Select_Action_6065 in Ruby Sparks is the only film I know of where something fantastically impossible happens and the characters have a realistic reaction by Mikecirca81

I think it's valid. They 'freak out' but then for the remainder of the movies they just accept it and move on.

Imagine if you 'swapped bodies' or a child became an adult suddenly in real life. It would be earth shattering. Everything we think we know is effectively a lie. Some people would become catatonic trying to deal with it. People would be vomiting, crying. If the government found out they would go full ET on the person.

Right, that’s why I said you wouldn’t have a movie if they did that.

They move on and accept it in Ruby Sparks too.

You could definitely have a movie. It just wouldn't be a wacky fun family movie. You'd end up with something like 10 Cloverfield lane. A psychological horror.
