Even the most debased, ill-thought out movies will have some sort of message. That message may be "join the army" or "buy this toy", but at the very least a film will say something, no matter how simple. But while with the likes of Transformers what's going is painfully obvious from the studio logos, with better movies there's more room for debate. Certain movies have been out for decades and there's still major disagreement over what they actually mean. Obviously this leads to misreadings of films, with people somehow managing to miss the point. This isn't as strange an occurrence as you'd think; so often people read their own experiences into a movie's subtext, taking what they personally want from it. This is particularly true of films with unlikeable protagonists; often if a film is showing something, then it is assumed that it is also condoning it, which can sometimes be far from the truth. Then you have the movies that almost invite the controversy. Inception's cliff-hanger ending, with the question of whether Dom Cobb is awake or in a dream left teasingly unanswered, prompted much debate, but all that side-stepped the real point; he'd chosen this as his reality, whether it was or not is irrelevant. Whatever the reason and however the meaning was misconstrued, today we're going to take a look at ten movies that people took the wrong moral from.
