There's a typo in the message field declaration, but presumably that's
not actually in your code, as it wouldn't even compile, so I'm
assuming it's just a copy/paste issue.
The actual issue is nothing to do with forms - it's in your template.
You're extending base.html, but not providing any {% block %} elements
to actually insert into that parent template. As a result, the parent
is just displayed, without any of the child data.
Either remove the {% extends %} tag, or provide the proper {% block %}
elements that override blocks in your parent, and put the form HTML in
there.
