CPR Isn’t Going To Magically Bring People Back To Life
“San Andreas” / Warner Bros. Pictures
You know the scene. Someone has drowned, sad music plays, and everyone’s already mourning another onscreen death. But wait! A hero drops to their knees, yells “Not today, Death!,” and starts performing CPR like they’ve been training for this their whole life. The tension builds, the music swells, for a second it seems absolutely futile until … gasp! The drowning victim lives, and the day is saved. They all talk about going to the movies later, probably.
And it’s not only drowning victims that get saved by movie CPR. Many characters have survived electrocution this way, too.
