From rom-coms to horror films
Stepmothers are evil and stepchildren will never be accepted as biological children are.
Hiding your true self and running away from your problems is okay. Oh, and make sure you trust every stranger that you encounter on your path while doing so.
You can get away with lying in a relationship. Just ask Aladdin.
Who needs therapy and medication when violence can treat schizophrenia?
If you really want a present, no matter how dangerous it is and how many times your parents have said no, you just have to be very persistent and eventually you'll get it.
Bullying someone into learning is the answer. Nothing beats abuse as a learning method, according to this movie.
The good part: cheating is bad. The bad part: don't get involved with a career woman, she's probably a psycho.
Obsessing over a girl who keeps friendzoning you over and over again is fine.
Manipulating people for your own benefit is fine. Just befriend the nerd, as long he'll help you do the homework in the end.
Rom-coms can sometimes be pretty twisted. Putting your life in danger (hanging from a Ferris wheel) to ask a girl out on a date is not okay.
Divorce isn't the end of your parents' relationship, and there's hope they'll get back together. In this movie, at least. Sure, this is quite possibly the dream of many children of divorced parents, but it's seldom the reality.
Emotional and physical abuse is enticing, as long as the guy is rich and attractive. Would Anastasia put up with Christian Grey if he was an unattractive deadbeat loser?
Someone sneaking into your room to watch you sleep is okay, as long as he's a vampire who can't resist the smell of your blood.
Excel at your job? You're definitely a sell-out. Oh, and are you a mature woman in a powerful position? Surely, there's something wrong with your personal life.
Accepting candy from strangers is totally fine, and so is slave labor, apparently.
Parental neglect is taken lightly and can even be funny. As for kids in this situation, they definitely shouldn't call the police. Just grab some marbles and paint cans and fend for yourself.
Violence is absolutely fine and it has no consequences, as long as you keep believing it's not real.
To begin with, never question anything or anyone. Trust everyone, and if things go bad, just run away from your problems. Easy, right?
This Disney classic was originally released in 1991, but the moral of the story was the same in 2017: abusive relationships can work well in the end.

Give up your voice so that you can get the man you desire.
Not only is solicitation fun, but you can also meet the man of your dreams while working. Of course, this only looks glamorous when they're both attractive and the man is incredibly rich.
Screenwriting is an art of storytelling, but sometimes the story is not quite what it seems. Many great lessons can be learned from movies, but on the flipside of the same coin, bad lessons are also projected onto the big screen.
If you pay careful attention you'll find that some films do have quite terrible moral lessons, and while many are not obvious, they're still there, no matter how good the movie makes us feel in the end.
