This reminds me of a podcast (an episode of This American Life maybe) where one of the reporters talks about being surprised when someone mentions Nazi’s in The Sound of Music because they only ever saw up to the intermission and thought that was the entire movie.
Kind of not connected but on the same topic :-
I was totally surprised when I realised my boss didn’t know there was Nazis in The Sound of Music.
I mean – who doesn’t know there are Nazis in The Sound of Music? That’s like something EVERYONE knows? How is there someone who doesn’t know that?
But no – he was genuinely surprised when the Nazis arrived.

Its like the old adage goes: “Those that forget history are doomed to be surprised there are Nazis in Austria in 1938”
