The brutal companions of women sometimes seem so distant and incomprehensible. It is important to understand what drives them both at the moment of starting a relationship, and even after years of marriage. A selection of films will help you understand men from Mars using available examples.

Pictures of masculinity and courage will be perfectly diluted with this film, which tells about the fact that men, as well as women, can find themselves in a dead end.

9. "Johnny D.", 2009
Real men stand for justice, and it is not always important in what ways it is achieved.
