Movies are easiest to enjoy when everyone pays attention, but not everyone actually does.

So when one person’s friend wanted the plot of the movie explained mid-scene, they decided to pause the movie to get them caught up.

It was then that they faced even more blame from their friend for breaking their “flow.”

AITA for pausing the movie to explain the plot when my friend asked what was happening?

I was watching a movie with a friend, and halfway through, they asked me what was happening because they weren’t paying full attention.

So they tried to help the best way they could, but it wasn’t enough for their friend.

I paused the movie to explain the plot so they could understand.

Afterwards, they got annoyed and said I “ruined the flow” of the movie.

This completely confused them.

I feel like they should’ve been paying attention if they wanted to follow along.

AITA?

What a confounding situation.

What did Reddit think?

This commenter thinks the person in the story had no other choice but to pause the movie.

Their friend 100% brought this upon themselves.

There are other ways this friend could have caught themselves back up with the movie’s plot.

This all could have been prevented if their friend had just paid more attention.

If this friend really didn’t want the “flow ruined,” maybe they should have been paying more attention.

With some people, you just can’t win.
