### You have used 2 form tag so there was an error  

    {% extends "events/base.html" %}
    
    {% block content %} 
    <h1>Login</h1>
    <br><br>
    <form action="" method="POST">
      {% csrf_token %}
    
     
        <div class="mb-3">
          <label for="exampleInputUserName" class="form-label">User name</label>
          <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username">
        </div>
        <div class="mb-3">
          <label for="exampleInputPassword1" class="form-label">Password</label>
          <input type="password" class="form-control" name="password">
        </div>
    
      <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-secondary">
    </form>
    
    <br><br>
    {% endblock content %}

Views.py I change the success message to error message because if there is an error then user so will see error message not success

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, logout
from django.contrib import messages


def login_user(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        username = request.POST.get('username')
        password = request.POST.get('password')
        user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
        if user is not None:
            login(request, user)
            return redirect('home')
        else:
            ### success -> error 
            messages.error(
                request, ("There Was An Error Logging In, Try Again..."))
            return redirect('login')
    else:
        return render(request, 'authenticate/login.html', {})
