8 Horror Movie Mysteries That Will Never Be Solved
8. Why Are All Of The Men The Same? - MEN
2022 Alex Garland film MEN definitely was met with different reactions from audiences all over. Some loved it, some hated it, and some just didn't understand it. It's clear to see at first glance that all of the men in the film, other than protagonist Harper's deceased husband, are played by actor Rory Kinnear, meaning that they are all the same.
We follow Harper, a widow who has recently lost her husband to what appears to be suicide, and her visit to a countryside village in order to seek solace for her grief ends up becoming her worst nightmare. The film is full of pagan symbolism and iconography as well as strong links to the Bible and the creation story. Neither of these aspects are particularly explained in the films 100 minute run-time, but the biggest mystery of the movie that remains unsolved is that of the men in the village all being played by the same actor.
This seemed like an interesting premise before the film was released, however falls slightly flat as the plot unfolds as it seems to have no direct link to anything, and more importantly is not explained. This truly is the perfect example of a film that is defined by what its audience makes of it!
