I've seen a lot of these, what's misunderstood?

I think in general any time someone makes a movie criticising some idea by satirizing what that idea looks like when taken seriously, some percentage of people will miss that it's satire and just think it's seriously advocating that idea. For example starship troopers is a fantastic movie and a great critique of militarism using satire. But a decent chunk of people watch it and think it is unironically glorifying militarism.

I can see that scenario playing out for son of these but American Psycho or Wolf of Wall Street. Surely they are as easy to read as Scarface!

It's ironic that people misunderstand the movie of The Shining, when Kubrick clearly misunderstood the point of the book it was based upon.

Maybe because people don't understand the movie at all instead of misunderstanding it

I would add "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" to this. Everyone I know recalls that movie as: "They could all fly, and in the end, she flew away off the bridge to live happily ever after".

I interpreted the movie as a total tragedy of the main character's life, and, in the end, she jumps from the bridge to commit suicide.

Maybe I'm wrong though.
