Early Look: Mother! Part 1 of 2.

Trying to explain the overall premise of 'Mother' to friends and family has been incredibly difficult to articulate accurately. But I do believe you've done it! It IS art, and allegorical, and far surpasses any theological assumptions and comparisons. I've encouraged many to go see it, and will continue to do so, borrowing heavily from this excellent video to help me. 😊✌️

Maverick Opinions

mother! is one of those films that I'm not convinced that I liked, but that I definitely enjoyed. It's such a haunting film that even weeks later I still find myself thinking about it. Definitely can't wait to buy it and really analyze it

This makes me want to check out the film. It sounds like something that you experience, not just watch... I love art like that

Awesome Cannon shirt!

I went into this movie just watching the trailer and thought it was going to be a horror suspense thriller. I did catch some of the allegory elements and felt very uncomfortable with the guests fucking shit up while Mother was just trying to maintain her "house". At the end, it did tie everything together but it felt rushed. This is a movie that you have to watch several times to understand and pick up on all of the little elements. I can see why people are frustrated at the level depth of understanding the film.

Excellent video. I tell people, look this isn't a traditional horror movie but there are plenty of horrifying moments. Also I do think the Rosemary's Baby comparisons are fair to some extent. Except Mother! is better than Rosemary's Baby. God (Javier Bardem) uses Mother Nature to birth his child. Pretty much a Rosemary's Baby scenario. And obviously the fate of God's Baby in the film is analogous to the fate of Jesus (humans killing the child in the most gruesome and vicious way). I love that this movie is an indictment on religion while also deriving a lot of its story off the Old and New Testament.

Gurl you need to see Blade Runner 2049. It’s beautiful.

One way I view the film is as a allegorical documentary about how people fuck everything up and one reason the masses have rejected it is because nobody likes being told they’re to blame.

i'm liking it more now after hearing your opinion

i still don't know how i feel about mother, but i did appreciate it being an interesting movie when so many aren't these days. I was just frustrated bc sometimes the movie seemed to be vague when it didn't know how to be deep.

I been lonesome without your content. Thank u !!! Ok I'll keep an open mind when I get the chance to see it. Tbh black swan thru me off. I couldn't really follow it until I rewatched it.
