I will answer this, but as an aspiring filmmaker I feel the need to really think about this one.
I do not understand this question. What is a trope
Figurative speech in a movie? A famous line like "There's no place like home" from the Wizard of oZ. Not sure what you are referring to.
A trope is something that is over done.
The plotline to any rom-com.
Yes, or as I call it, "The asshole gets the girl trope."
or horror flick
The Hero always has a nice car. Never a minivan.
Hey, Scooby and crew had a minivan....lol
Oh no...im gonna catch a lot of flack. "American" tv & film is too XTRA imo. In other words, I can't choose just 1 thing.
They always find parking right out in front of wherever they are going. The only time that happens to me was when I had a placard and even then you were lucky to find a spot out in front.
Ha! I know a guy with insane "parking karma" he finds a perfect spot almost anywhere he goes. Its weird.
That the leading lady and the leading man needs to hook up at the end of the film - when they showed no intimacy at all during the whole film. I could think of nothing worse. Most, if not all American films are guilty of this.
I also find it interesting to notice that especially with older movies, the woman was pursued to the point of annoyance, and yet still falls for the guy in the end. I wonder if this has something to do with the attitudes of some men today.
Oh shucks, I guess if I can't get you to stop stalking me, I'll just sleep with you, hee!
barf...
The trope I hate the most is very broad: evil for evil's sake. Why does the bad guy want to destroy the world or whatever? Superhero movies are terrible about this, but there are plenty of others, too. I prefer a villain with motivation. Far scarier than evil is the idea that evil looks morally justified to those perpetuating it.
