10 Great Movies That Have a Double Meaning

Although modern cinema presents hundreds of new films every year, there are not so many truly good films that can make a lasting impression on the viewer.

Neither the amount of money spent on filming nor the abundance of special effects are signs of a good film. The author's dialogue with the viewer, the ability to construct a non-linear plot and deep, sometimes hidden meaning, much more often contribute to the success of the film.

(Warning! Spoilers).

We have prepared for you a selection of films whose hidden meaning requires particularly careful viewing or even additional explanation. Despite this, each of these films can be called, without exaggeration, a true masterpiece of cinema.

A tragic film starring Javier Barden and Jennifer Lawrence. Critics liked the film and the audience liked it, but we are sure that not everyone understood the deep meaning that director Darren Aronofsky put into his creation.

Psychological thriller "Mom!" can be called a full-fledged biblical parable. The plot draws a direct analogy with the real world. The main character in this reality plays the role of God, his wife can be called Mother Nature, and his home can be called our planet. Just as the main character is bullied in her house, man also behaves with nature and destroys the Earth, his only home.

The film tells the story of the Willson family, who unexpectedly find themselves captive to their negative copies. A little later, they begin to understand that the whole world has been captured by these terrible monsters from underground, the Shadows. During the viewing process, viewers have many questions, the answer to which awaits them in the finale.

As a result, some of the characters in the film turn out to be completely different from who they were thought to be throughout the film. This fascinating but difficult film must be watched very carefully in order to understand the deep meaning inherent in it by the authors.

The plot of the film, which describes the life of the crazy actor Riggan, is very confusing. The ending of the psychological drama seems happy to many, but this conclusion can only be reached by viewers who did not show due care when watching.

Emma Stone's heroine behaves at the end of the film as if she had a happy ending, but in reality everything is far from so rosy. The ending of this story is tragic and Riggan’s flight is just a hallucination of a daughter who has gone crazy after the suicide of her father.

This film from director Cameron Crowe is capable of perplexing the most sophisticated lover of difficult films. The plot is so confusing that you have to really rack your brain to understand what's really going on. The answer can be found at the very end of the film, when the main character begins to suffer from nightmares.

David recalls that it all started with his visit to a company specializing in cryo-freezing of hopelessly ill people. As it turns out, lucid dreaming is part of this company’s program. As a result, David deliberately abandons his dreams in favor of a cruel but truthful reality.

A Cure for Wellness, directed by Gore Verbinski, is a heavy, dark film that immediately grabs the viewer and does not let go until the very end credits. The main character of the film is a young guy who finds himself in a sanatorium where very strange events occur.

Later, he finds out that the director of the medical institution is not at all who he claims to be, and in his domain creepy and completely insane experiments are being carried out on people. There will be no happy ending in the film, and the film itself seems to hint at the fact that one person is not able to resist the system.

The film starring Natalie Portman won an Oscar for the performance of this wonderful actress. The film shows how the blind pursuit of an ideal can break a person's destiny. The main character commits the murder of her rival so that she does not stand in her way and at the end of the film she loses her mind.

At the end of the film, Portman's character seems to be cutting her rival with a piece of glass, but in reality she is stabbing it into her body in an unsuccessful attempt to achieve perfection. Critics believe that the film has one of the most unusual endings in the history of modern cinema.

The main idea of this psychological thriller is “Blind faith is the path to salvation.” The example of the main character, played by Sandra Bullock, suggests that a person is able to accomplish the impossible if faith lives in him. Malorie, against all odds, managed to save herself and save the children from invisible and deadly creatures.

Deprived of the use of sight, a woman receives the key to self-knowledge. At the end of the film, having released the birds from the box, removed the blindfold and given names to her children, Malorie is reborn, losing the psychological shackles that have prevented her from living for many years. By the way, the film caused a wave of imitations, which sometimes threatened the health and lives of people.

Although this film appeared at the very beginning of the 2000s, it is still actively discussed by both critics and fans of unusual plots. The picture is twisted so seriously that upon first viewing, the chance of understanding its vicissitudes for an unprepared person will be very small.

The death of the main character in his own home from the engine of a crashed plane is a conscious sacrifice, a real path to freedom. Donnie is a guide whose task is to save the world and the incredible responsibility weighs heavily on him. Therefore, death for the main character is a welcome release and long-awaited peace.

For almost the entire film, viewers are convinced that this is a classic horror film with ghosts and other mystical phenomena. Only in the very last minutes does it become clear that the picture is the story of the tragic fate of an ordinary person.

Leonardo DiCaprio's hero is a madman who lost his mind after he dealt with his wife, who killed their common children. Imagining himself to be federal agent Teddy Daniels, Andrew finds himself in a psychiatric clinic, where the staff does their best to play along with him, hoping for a cure. They almost succeed, but the main character is not ready for the cruel reality and, after briefly coming to his senses, he again finds himself captive to his insane delirium.

The story of a man who never gives up trying to find his missing father. In the end, he succeeds, but when he finds himself next to his parent, he quickly becomes disillusioned with him. The father in reality is far from being as ideal as McCbride imagined him to be.

The man is not a hero at all, and besides this, he has no desire to return to his native Earth. The moment the cable connecting the spacesuits of father and son in outer space breaks is a symbol of the fact that Roy is psychologically free from his parent and, having left him, can move on to a full life.
