The final scene in Men is wild, but as filmmaker AlexGarland explains, it took some inspiration from anime to bring it to the screen in its final form.
Alex Garland’s Men has generated plenty of conversation to go along with the praise it’s received from critics — particularly when it comes to the film’s shocking, graphic final scene.
Note: Key plot points from the film Men will be discussed after this point. Consider this a spoiler warning. “Some people storyboard everything and have an incredibly clear idea of what’s going to happen. I don’t,” laughed Garland. “I say to the actors in the rehearsal stage, this script is still fluid and open and we can make changes and we can find stuff.”
The exact look and feel he wanted for the scene remained elusive, though, until Garland said he got “kind of slapped in the face creatively” while watching an episode of the popular anime series Attack on Titan with his daughter. The series, which is set in a postapocalyptic world filled with monstrous “titans” that devour humans, features some intricate, unique transformation sequences depicting the evolution of the titans and their relationship to humans.
