18 Movies That Are Very Plainly Misunderstood

It's pretty easy to miss a movie's meaning. While we're being dazzled by pretty faces, hard bodies, big explosions, and compelling fart jokes, it can be a little difficult to discern what a movie is supposed to be telling us. Sometimes filmmakers want to make us think, and we're not sure exactly what we're supposed to be thinking about. Or, a film can have multiple interpretations based on our varied life experiences. Not every scene is going to hit the same for everybody, and some of us hone in on things we think are important, and end up missing the point entirely. 

Thankfully, our readers never shy away from an opportunity to speak their mind, and they've stepped up to teach us all stern lesson in movie meaning-ology (or whatever).

A few of these are absolutely mind-boggling, and surely will have you going back to rewatch a movie you thought you understood perfectly well.
