This film is every introverts' worse nightmare. I had anxiety the entire time.
Absolutely I nearly puked because of everything with the people just coming in and ruining everything and then things got gross and I just wanted to grab her and leave and just stop existing
That's the way I feel when I watch the news.
It nearly caused me to have a panic attack. I had to pause it for awhile and finish it after taking a break.
OH my god I had anxiety the whole entire film. I would literally tear the house apart to get everyone out the house.
Exactly...I literally was biting my nails the entire time hahah
Moral of the Story: Don't let people inside ur house
Mina CrayCray the truth HAS BEEN REVEALED
Mina CrayCray if u saw the movie they walked all up in that house without permission
I know right.
Or use a condom.
No, the moral of the story is to treat this planet with respect and care and the planet will do so in return.
“I love you.” “You never loved me. You love how much I love you.” That is so deep.
Amazing 😮😮😮
Applicable to a lot of toxic situations, too.
the breaking point for me was when those people sitting on the sink started bouncing then broke it like idk why that just really got me going internally like almost relating in a metaphorical way to the feeling of people completely & deliberately crossing your boundaries & invading your personal space & not being listened to at all
BRUH SAME
Omg that pissed me off so much
When did that happen
@@kylavillanueva8839 Are u fucking serius
Nice observation but this movie is deeper than that…
Why isn’t this movie just called “the Bible: scary version”
The Bible is scary enough already lol. The Lake of Fire, Flood of Noah, Passion of Christ, Judgment against Jerusalem, Ten Plagues of Egypt, Locusts of the Abyss, Sodom and Gomorrah,
@@user-gg6kw2pd4l I can't forget the first time I read the book of Revelations in a group at a school club. Gave me shivers while being incredibly fascinating!
한국어TCG I know Fairy Tales seem to be the most fascinating.
@@Someguyy867 whatever works for you, couldn't give a shit though.
@@TCG9777 Got him
This film is what anxiety feels like
YES!
100%!!!
amanda T preach girl
I completely agree...I thought the movie was supposed to portray how a woman feels when she is pregnant/experiencing labour. Anxiety, mood swings, you feel like you can't trust anyone and everyone is suffocating you and overstepping SO many boundaries...
amanda T I was very stressful all the time when she speaks her mind and nobody care at all, I was like standing up saying: " Punch them" " Puuunch them".
Extroverts: The people are so nice! They take care of my things and are my best friends!
What an introvert sees:
omg yesss haha
Peach cat are so cute!
Yup
So true 🤣
Exactly
She said “I guess I’ll get ready for the apocalypse” once he began to write again
Everything before she got pregnant was the Old Testament and when she woke up pregnant that began the New Testament
I didn’t catch that the first time I watched the movie, but I did the second time after watching it a year later. That was kind of an “in your face” joke tbh.
@@rightkumaran REALLY? You don't know what the old and new testament are? The old is the Torah (basically all the old laws followed by the Jews etc) and the new testament is after Jesus is born...
When everyone was in the house going crazy towards the end, it reminded of the book od revelations
@@darreth0104 even I don’t know.. also I hope you realise not everybody is Christian. Thanks for trying to explain though.
@@darreth0104 not everyone believes in Jesus
It also makes Sense when Mother says: This is my house! And everyone just laughs at her and ignores her like: Yeah, sure. "Your" house.
Like mankind abuses and disrespects Mother nature
IdaC93 so true
That's shit made me mad when they kept saying that to her I was like tf?!?!
Also could be a reference to the fact that History aspecially post-Christian history generally disregard abused and was all around horrible to women
IdaC93 oh shit I thought you were referring to the man being the bread winner paying for it
The scary part is that people actually behave like this.
Edit: As someone said in the replies, these people are acting like obsessed fans or stalkers.
What kind of savages do you associate with?
@@TheAnarchySniper look into adrenochrome... I don't think an everyday person rubs shoulders with them monsters in the inner circle...
Look at how fucking "fans" act around "famous" people.
Pretty sure, if real fans DID meet their idol and went to their house, then, just being inside the house would be enough for them.
Everyday men behave like this with complete disregard for what women sacrifice for their happiness, in the end they rip our hearts out.
I now totally understand. “Mother” is a symbolical movie. I liked it.
Mother (Earth): “I gave you everything”
Jennifer Lawrence was perfect for this role. She had a huge impact on how incredible this film turned out. The director is also brilliant.
True! Although Lily Rabe wouldve done amazing aswell!
I agree, I've loved every movie he has done, Requiem For a Dream being my favorite. He's overall my favorite director but most of his movies can be hard to watch.
I would recommend other Aronofsky films like Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Wrestler, Black Swan, and Whale. He is a great filmmaker.
@@someoneout-there2165 w😊
This is one of the few movies that physically made me extremely, viscerally stressed while watching, I felt like I was in the house as it devolved into chaos
I felt like i am going to die. I can't even explain properly
This is the Bible in a nutshell
Chaotic Gay Demon I could not make it to the end and then went here because all the people.
I was close to an anxiety attack when the house started to over crowd.. Even better I was 5 minutes late to the movie so even though some of the bible similarities started to creep in I had NO idea what was going on.. I actually recommend skipping the first few minutes if you are showing it to a first timer since the beginning gives away the whole thing
Marius Møller I don’t think it gives the whole thing away when I first watched it I thought it was a dream but maybe I wasn’t paying attention in any regards this movie was damn good
I want to take mother nature out for a drink and let her know how cool she is.
She definitely deserves a better class of man.
R/whiteknight
First of all, the real BEGBIE would piss on Mother Nature. Second of all, we are all beating the living shit out of Mother Nature and she is barely alive. I think your drinks come a bit too late.
brother nature
@@orange_leaf4913 I like the random parks and rec reference
If you watch the movie without knowing the behind story it is sooo weird
IKR! I watched it without watching the trailer or reading about it , I had the biggest stroke of my life
And frustrating
I had to Google it to find out what the hell i just watched!!!
It's better not understanding, and after finishing it you get the point, and connect the dots.
I wish I would have went into it blind . In some ways I love this guy because he's pointed out about a half a dozen movies that just love but I wish he would just give the movie he's reviewing a grade before he explains them . That way I would watch his review afterwards. I've did a few times but this is one that should have to .
The whole movie just feels like a fever dream in a good way
Is it weird that i enjoy the feeling of high fever? Minus other symptoms of course leh
In a bad way
no.. in a bad way
Ending Explained:
Humans are terrible
The End.
Also God sucks a bag of dicks
news flash: water is wet

Lol you're an idiot... That would also be saying that women sucks bags of dicks... Also the movie sucks...
Kamayla Quibodeaux “humans are terrible” as his icon is a dog

I found an illiterate fuck that can understand the context of a comment...
You feel for Jennifer’s character from start to finish!!
Right? Took us for the ride right along with her. Every aspect was of this film was pulled off perfectly.
Agreed! The acting was so good. She did great.
Agreed! The anxiety of having too much people at the house! Hahaha.
@sneef it's okay not everyone can understand the underlying themes and metaphors.
@sneef This movie uses Javier Bardem for the "God" role. Jennifer portrays the Mother Earth role. I think the whole point of the film was conveyed in a relatively clear manner. There wasn't all that many bad reviews. The bad reviews I have seen are folks that didn't like the idea of how gory the baby eating scene was. Don't really understand how people despise this film so much. Not everything has to be described in such a literal sense for it to be beautiful. Does poetry always come off as a clear point? Art work is almost never so black and white to the point where everyone gets the same meaning out of it.
As the old saying goes "Art is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone will have their own interpretation".
I had so much anxiety and helplessness watching this movie. This reminded me a lot of my relationship with a narcissist, being dependent on him and madly in love, while his selfishness and need for attention creates drama and stress.
Same here (shudder)
Yes! I got so many flashbacks to mentally abusive husbands. I'm sorry you've gone through similar experiences, both you. I hope you're doing way better like me:3
hm ok
That’s kinda crazy bc I was thinking that same thing like--
I think it's important to remember the toxic relationships & to be reminded of the signs of toxicity so that we don't ever fall back into those cycles. IMO. 🤷
Who is here after mother decides to throw Corona virus at us! She is tired of our bullshit!
Jennifer Davis u have a strong hate for humanity,I understand humanity has a lot of bad in it,but just as there’s bad there’s also good in it,but that’s if your willing to open your eyes to it
Jennifer Davis aghhh my apologies srry about that,god bless u I hope u have a bright future ahead of u,srry
@@jenniferdavis693 am sorry that happened to you. Dont lose hope tho, the world is mixed with good and bad. You already experienced the bad you deserve the good, so don't give up your good is coming
Jennifer Davis np sm here I’ve went through a tough moment in my childhood and still till these day due,but I just live life the fullest when I can,have a good one and hope the days ahead of u get better 🙂
@@jenniferdavis693 we are still animals
I actually cried when they killed her baby, it was a mixture of sadness and stress/anxiety that build up during the film, and that scene broke me. I was so frustrated during the whole movie...... i liked it?
Okay same. Like I didn’t know how to feel after, I just cried
Same, its a very intense movie that left me sobbing
No mother should go through that and get their baby taken away from them for that situation
Ima be honest after they killed her baby I legit puked. It made me real uneasy and I just wanted to cry.
rebecca it was symbolic of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus was born as man; however, He was killed by man.
I wanted her to leave him about half way through the movie and just kept saying leave him 😂😂
Leave 'god' and don't let mankind into your 'house'. With or without 'Him', they'll come.
Zero Cool omg 😂😂😂
@Zero Cool It's my favorite activity.
She is mother earth, she can not leave.
Sadly I don't think she could easily leave the house. I wonder what woulda happened if she just said "No" when he asked for her heart
When the people started just coming up in her house I was screaming in my head "WHY WON'T THEY JUST LEAVE?!" This movie certainly made me feel stuff, mainly anger and frustration.
What do u mean with "they" the people? or the husband and the wife?
This was the first movie that scared me not just mentally, but physically. Just seeing the people pouring in and their antics getting worse and worse gave me real raw anger, a sickening appalled feeling and anxiety. I've seen Gummo, The Poughkeepsie Tapes, The Green Inferno and those failed to spook me to the bone as much as this film did. That's how you know you found an amazing film, when you get genuine emotion out of it. Huge props to the directors!!
The two people who kept sitting on sink and then broke it casusing a flood inside house is a refrence to the great flood and a reset. Thats why everybody left.
that is mind blowing.
what’s the great flood
@@melaniemartinezsgap6356 Noah's ark... bible story
OMGGG
which is why everyone was saying that they were “being punished” when they were leaving the house. good catch!
The reason he was only able to write after the birth because the new testament was written after Jesus was conceived.
Good theory!
He didnt write after the baby was born in the movie. He wrote after they had sex
The new testament was written way after Jesus death... most people don’t realize this but Jesus is written about all throughout the Old Testament but most people don’t read the Old Testament.
@@DAVIDDNORWOOD conceived isnt birth. its when the baby gestates inside the womb. Meaning when a baby begins to form.
DAVIDDNORWOOD that’s conception
Dear stranger whoever reads this: may your mother live over 100 years..
are you Indian?
Any input on that scene where she flushes what seems to be a heart down the toilet?
that's meant to represent when god took a rib out of adam to create eve, you can see the gash on that dudes side and then the next day "eve" showed up
@@elinoraroses gotcha cheers :) .. Will have to rewatch!
the thing in the toilet represented adams rib (aka man) and when u see him coughing in the toilet and he has a wound bleeding by his rib cage it’s representing adam taking a rib out to make women. that is why we later on see, eve, his wife known as “woman”.
Aranovsky clearly doesn't like religion. But he understands it, perfectly.
João Vitor Are you kidding me? This movie is horrible what they did was horrific and sickening
Lol no he doesn’t, i would say he grossly misunderstands it but makes for interesting take
I'd say he doesn't like humans and has a very low opinion of them...I'd also say he is right.
I’d say that a movie that leads to a thread like this (one person says it’s perfect, one says it’s meh, one says it’s horrible) is probably doing something right. I think it’s amazing. Disgusting, but amazing.
@@ironcross1252 sounds like a salty theist
When the man and woman repeatedly sat on the sink/counter, I nearly had a panic attack
It was so annoying, it's what we do, we disregard warnings and think that the earth can handle the pressure, humankind is just an idiotic kind.
I was ready to fight 😤
i want to punch the tv screen for real
literally, this movie triggered my killing instinct 😭😭 and I cheered way too much when she attacked the cultist
@@staninsertkpopgroup1181 FR
He is my favorite director, Requiem For a Dream and mother! are both 10/10. He makes movies that are VERY heavy and not for everyone but they're so brilliant!
Pi is a masterpiece, as well. Crazy that Aronofsky's first feature (unless there's one he did prior to pi that I'm forgetting) is of comparable quality to all his later works. Man came into the game already working on a different level.
Mother was so disturbing and painful to watch but it was one of the most emotionally rich films I’ve ever watched.
ikr it's so underrated and overhated man some people are just sensitive idk bro
This movie made me sick of my stomach with all those people invading the house and that crazy weird husband gave me a really bad vibe.
That crazy weird husband is actually a representation of God go figure😂😂😏
Ya God gives me the creeps as well.
I have difficulty dissing him because he's supposed to be God. He is one of the most frustrating characters (in my opinion) since Guy Woodhouse from Rosemary's Baby.

When I first watched this movie I felt so much anxiety and anger.
OMFG I JUS WATCHD IT AN I DID TOO
Omg yes. I hate all of them including Him.
Jorge Porras i like your profile pic
Bring me the horizon ❤️
OMFG SAMEEE I GOT SOOO MAD
The first time I saw this movie I had no clue what happened. Afterwards I saw this video among many others and realized how deep this movie actually is. This movie didn’t do too well with the critics but it is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen
This is an absolute masterpiece. You can see the fatigue in her eyes at the very end. Mother earth has given her everything and humanity destroyed it; her last resort was to completely annihilate what has caused her pain in the most destructive way possible - eliminating herself.
I don't think he loved her. Like mother said, he was in love with the thought of being in love. He only wanted to be loved.
That line....gave me such a profound impact!
This comment made me rethink a couple of things
Boom! Reality check! you got me there.
That is how I am
I agree with this. I don’t think he was avoiding any kind of chaos and wanted the child and everything else to happen, if shown otherwise, it was probably all just an act to make mother believe him. He let in the first woman who was pushing for her to have a child with him, she just wouldn’t drop it, even after her own child died, she guilt tripped her for not entirely understanding her because she didn’t have a child, even further persuading mother to have a child with him. And him kinda forced himself onto her despite her being mad in the moment when they were arguing, but she does let in eventually.
if i was mother, as soon as people started coming in, i’d run the other way. this movie has triggered my anxiety like no other movie has ever.
Y'all should watch "Last Exit" from 2006. That movie had my stress levels at a all time high.
I agree...
Same for me too! My chest was so tight and painful verging on a panic attack. I wanted her to run out of the house as soon as the first people showed up when she was pregnant. But honestly, I'd had been OUT at some point during that first BS crowd came.
@@amethyst.5 Oh man, I probably should not!
Sadly, Mother Nature can't leave the Earth, she just has to endure what humans impose, with God not really intervening much. Cycle after cycle, no lessons learned :-(
Watched this movie in theaters, watched half the audience walk out and I look over to my buddy and I whispered, "I don't think they got the metaphor.". I'm glad we all stuck it out because the discussion between all of us afterwards was a good one.
The amount of emotions this movie put me through is astounding. This is some of the best screenplay I've ever experienced
this film made me hate people more than i already do. it was truly just wild.
Movie was an acid trip..but once I read meaning... it's still an acid trip
You best watch Enter The Void...
absolutely
Nah man acid is fun don't put that on acid
The only thing I haven’t heard explained is the red spot. When “Cain” kills “Abel” the spot where his head hit remains after the blood is cleaned up. What is the symbolism of this? I’ve thought maybe hell/outer darkness. But that doesn’t make sense with the Cain and Abel story.
Isn't just an allegory for the Mark of Cain?
It represents humanities downfall and if you noticed it ate at the floor and went straight down into the basement (hell) because murder. Murder is corruption which lead her to finding the door with the gas tank etc which God tried covering up.
If im not mistaken, abel and cain’s story is the first act of murder between humans. As said by the previous commenter, it may be an indication of corruption. That no matter how you “fix” it or “justify” it, it’s still murder = morally bad and it will never change/never be “cleaned”.
I think I remember something about God telling Cain since he spilt the blood of his brother Able, Cain and his descendants would always have to shed blood for the land to grow food for him, if I'm not mistaken
It was the first fratricide by human kind, which shows the first act of violence man commited against his own kind, after that a trail of violence against each other began, which left earth stained with blood permanently forever as in the violence only accelerated and never stopped, it shows the beginning of bloodshed by humans.
This movie really conveys the dark nature of humanity. I had to see it twice to appreciate the details without feeling so frustrated. What I like about this movie, is that helps to really surrender, that we are a conflict of good and evil by nature and we shouldn’t be so shocked by what happens in this world. Let’s be happy anyways!
Did I just go to church
Lmaooo basically
Yes gone wrong version
@@jmooo9787 oh wrong version? It said normal version
In short yes.
Other points I noticed, just thoughts:
• When that couple breaks the sink, causing water to spill everywhere and Him tells all of the people from the wake to leave, this represents the Flood from Noah’s ark. Then when his “fans” return later in the movie with no explanation, these are the people who survived the “flood”, hence why characters like Man and Woman don’t come back.
• The House was earth and Him’s Office was Paradise, which is why when Man and Woman Break the crystal thing Him gets them out and blocks the doors, kicking them out of “paradise”.
• The Crystal, is both Mother Earth’s love and the forbidden fruit. The first sin. Hence why immediately after breaking it, Man and Woman have sex.
• When the baby is killed, and eaten (communion) and Mother begins killing people, this may represent nature’s natural disasters. People attacking Mother may represent how humans ignore nature’s signs, disasters, global warming, etc. and instead keep damaging it. (After the fans attack mother and kill the baby, when him says “we have to forgive them, they may change now” is God’s hope that humanity might change after Jesus died for their sins. He has hope that they have learned as both mother and him hear their crying whispers.) Which- we don’t learn- so mother does blow up the house, this is the Apocalypse, where Him “God” has a chance to start again. Unfortunately, humans don’t seem to learn ever... so every ending might end the same, Sorry for Him 😂
The best explanation of it. god we suck
@bravoman The movie is a representation of what is happening in the world. Sorry if you can't see it, but it's really a big problem in the world.
@bravoman I never said I don't "believe" in God and his teachings, it's just that you don't see the problem in the world which is painfully, and accurately shown in the movie. I can also say that there are some things that are not shown correctly in the movie. But when you actually see it, it's how people act in today's world, people destroying nature and doing other bad things then later go to God and act like nothing happened, and I'm not denying that I do that sometimes. All of us sin everyday.
@bravoman Yes, there are people who do not provide any good in the world, do mean stuff, and have a bad personality, then go to church and ask forgiveness, yes, God does forgive people, but then what? Same cycle all over again? After church do bad deeds again and ask for forgiveness? And yes, I am afraid of somethings, all people do, I fear God, and mostly, the PEOPLE that we are with today.
@bravoman I know, but there is evil in this world, some we can't control, but just like the movie, we can all start again with mother nature's love and with God's guidance.
It’s almost like Javier never actually plays a person. He always ends up playing a force, of sorts. Something bigger. Dude must be really good
probably one of THE BEST films i have seen in a loonng time, i loved every part of it, including the fact that my foot wouldnt stop shaking and how stressful the whole movie was, very beautiful and i cried at the end by how powerful it was, very touching and yes, humans are terrible, disgusting and dont appreciate mother nature until she has had enough and strikes back. we must do better
Just added information. The room which he boarded up represents the garden of eden so when man and woman broke the crystal heart, he bans them from entering it again.
they say that when she and him have ***, thats when things turn bad, but i believe when the heart broke thats when things got bad, because thats when he should have realized, thats when he should have listed to mother. Thats why God is in heaven, and not with his creation.
oooooohh, it is after ***, almost, i'm still almost right, the garden of eden is God's office, and the crystal is the forbidden fruit, so when it breaks, thats when they can finally have ***, everyones right.
Also the crystal symbolises the forbidden fruit of knowledge
@@nandinisahu1716 quite obviously
😦
And Him said, “we have to forgive them.” After the baby died. God’s word. 😭
I was waiting for a “he died for them, so we must forgive them”
when he said that the whole movie clicked, i was like oh my god its the bible
What the fuck is wrong with you all?
@@chtianj they're literally just saying that the film is about the bible, they're not praising what happened...
@@chtianj you lack reading comprehension
I interpreted this movie in a completely different and easier way. While I watched this movie, mother reminded me a lot of myself and a relationship I had. I would do anything to make him happy, I loved him immensely. I would give everything to him and it was never enough. I often felt like my heart was being stripped way from my body just like that scene in the movie. So to me, this movie represents excessive love and how sometimes you give everything to someone and it's still not enough.
I was literally speechless when I saw this movie for the 1st time
This movie gave me a major panic attack… crazy
edit: This movie brought something out in me that I didn’t know affected me. It’s sounds weird but this is probably the first movie that genuinely scares me just because stuff like this can happen. People are psycho!
Me fucking too
Same here. Awful feeling.
Make me paranoid.... Especially that neck crack.... Wtf... Nearly killed me
Fashoooo
same
Just finished it...
...I think I need some air...
I’m the one suffocating here
Ya *think* ?
😂😂😂
I burst out at my bf because of this movie. I was so frustrated and irritated by the end.
As always, whenever I have questions about a movie, I always type in your name and am never disappointed! Thank you for your clear, concise, well thought out and well written/supported movie explanations. Not to mention, we have similar tastes in movies etc so I can’t help, but find myself nodding re: your take on the film in question. Keep up the great work!!
First time I watched this movie was on my first ever solo trip abroad...to say that plane ride was intense is an understatement!
The part that really got me was when the brother who murdered his sibling (allegory for Cain) came back and was just like
"He left you here all alone... You do understand"
And walked out the back door saying "good luck"
Jo Lee Can you elaborate?
@@tercola8756 its biblical. its cain and abel's story
Deok ii Right but what was he talking about when he said, " he left you here alone, you do understand. Good luck." That's what I was asking about.
@@tercola8756 my interpretation of the scene is the brother is now alone without his parents money or brother and much like her feels insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The husband (God) leaves mother alone, scared, and confused which is why the brother says "you do understand". The brother decides he no longer needs god since he feels abandoned and leaves whilst the mother stays in the house (stays with God) which is why the brother said "good luck".
@@dynamic4820 that's what my interpretation of it was as well if that brother was Cain didn't cain eventually go to the dark side? was that basically a demon telling mother good luck because it's supposed to be a shitshow and him is really in control of it?
NOTE: Don't Forget the Part When the Man is Led by the Woman upstairs and they Break the Crystal! That was Eve taking a bite of the Apple (or the symbolism of doing a something Forbidden). And notice after that scene, everything goes Down-Hill from that moment. Great analysis. Loved the Movie.
Don't forget that Him locked the room and say "They will never enter the room again". This is a reference of Heaven where Adam and Eve are thrown out of heaven
Sweet Raw Healing Yeah... No.
Actually yes, they do exist.
and the brothers who were killing each other were Cain and Abel. The house (world) was then tainted with sin and since then it all went downhill. When there was anarchy during the mourning of the death of the son, the sink got destroyed (the great flood), and it ends with the rapture, taking every life.
@@iAsked900 eden, not heaven.
This can be called: the introvert and the extrovert
i watched this movie with my friends last night and after watching the movie we spent 3 hours discussing its metaphor in biblical context. so glad to find this movie and never regret watching it. i hope they make more movies like this. this movie is so underrated.
It was the most anxiety inducing thing. I was shaking and almost walked out.
CL XK my husband walked out he couldn’t finish it 😂😂
had to get up as i realised i have pooped in my pants never got to finish it in fear of this happening again .
In the bible yellow represents purification. I think that's why she was drinking the elixir whenever she was in pain. She was trying to purify earth when it was being damaged.
Austin M Thank you. I couldn't figure that one out.
Oh yeah! I was wondering about that stuff she was drinking....
Yeah and when she is pourring it in the toilet , im pretty sure is to help the house rebuild faster
Love thank u!!
there was also a similar color that she was painting on her walls
That ain't Him, that's my neighbor RayRay. He's always doing stuff like that.
I hope u ok ._."
I was 16 when I first watched this and I was traumatized. I feel like a drama queen for saying that but this movie really f*cked me up. For a good week too.
I was around 9. I have to agree with you, I cried for like 2 days straight after the baby scene
@@thedog7272 damn what were you doing watching this at 9 yo. Im 26 and it got to me big time
@@bananahobbit1 I was in the same room as my mom watching and decided to watch it, bad mistake on my part
I would have never thought this movie would be so deep from the trailers.
Same
Tianna Gaskins exactly. I was totally caught off guard
Tianna Gaskins i
same. i wasn’t interested in seeing it because i thought it looked uninteresting. guess ima have to watch it now!
surprisingly from the first time seeing the trailer i knew it would be deep and wild and blow my fucking mind
One of the saddest small things in the movie is when she's trying to find a safe place to give birth one of the soldiers actually pays attention to her (which if you notice nobody around her does) and he shields her with his body and wants to help her and then his head gets brutally blown away. I think he represents all the environmentalist people who want to patch up the ecosystems, save species, fight for cleaner future and all that but are helpless against the horde of ignorance.
Then she wants to leave trough the door which might mean space exploration but he insists on keeping her in the house.
Well he was hit by friendly fire, so that checks out.
Or alternatively, he represents the person who gave Mary and Joseph the barn to give birth to Christ inside. All of his followers and supporters were later ridicule.
iriyabran I cried a little reading this
...I came a little reading this.
Wow.... so he's me lol
Aside from the themes involved, the third act played out like the kind of nightmares I have every few weeks or so (I have a bad case of nightmare disorder). It's a main part of why I love this movie so much. Very rarely are nightmares recreated so well on screen.
this movie shook me to the core, i felt for jennifer’s character so hard especially at the end
I think also a lot of people missed the subtle moment where all the “guests” are back at the house for the funeral and Michelle Pfeiffer’s character toasts to the husband for his hospitality and not mother. If we are going down the path of the film being an allegory for the creation story then this makes sense as it’s often said the creator was the only one who made everything.
Nice observation
Well, he ultimately made mother in the beginning
The creator is the only one that made things.
@@Norgoroth666but he couldn’t have wout mother
Also people always thank god for things instead of the people responsible
I loved how there wasn't a soundtrack/score for this movie. I feel like it helped set the tone for the movie and did a great job of building up tension. It's hard to explain, but take the scene with the baby being killed and eaten as an example. Most movies would use some generic orchestral music playing in the background and then resort to a musical jump scare when it showed the baby's eaten body to try to "scare" the audience. Instead though, no music was played and it made that scene, as well as the rest of the movie, creepy/disturbing. I think it also helps to make the movie more open to interpretation when you don't have music trying to tell the viewer when a scene is scary, sad, happy etc.
This.
nice observation
@@pippp.4425 Thank you. I think I was a bit high when I wrote that freakin' novel of a comment lol.
@@YouOnlyIiveTwice hahaahah
Many had anxiety issues watching the film and I think you’ve pointed to one of the main causes. It was a great choice to have no musical score for this wacky flick.
Thank you so much for explaining. I literally didn’t get any of that and now that you’ve said it my perspective has changed entirely. If it weren’t so disturbing I’d want to rewatch!
As a person struggling with anxiety, I honestly felt more anger than fear, when her baby's neck broke, I cussed at them so hard, I got a warning from my landlord and lost my voice for 3 days
Legitimately made my day
Take a Xanax, for God's sake.
Calm down lmao
You have forgotten the "Flood", when Mother chases all people out of her house for the first time and than she goes to the basement and turns the water off, so she could clean the house.
Boris Teodosijevic no... The stubbornness of the people caused the floor.. And after she chases them out... She turns off the water and begins a rebuild
Boris Teodosijevic that represents Noah and the flood and how the world was pure after that and the world got rebuilt
Exactly! That's what I'm saying.
This man is a genius watched the movie and was amazed at it and I’m only 17 and I understood most of it but now I get it all
Boris Teodosijevic i
Jennifer Lawrence's best ever and hardest performance imho
Didn’t know opinions could be this wrong
Christopher Nunez ooh you’re so trendy
It's a scandal she did not get an Oscar for this.
@@BvngeeGvm tf? I hate this woman but still think that her performance here is remarkable
@@user-iy7zs9go8t it’s amazing!! Now that I know what the fuck is actually happening in this move!
It been 4 years since i have seen this movie and it still pops into my head every few months.
I love this channel 💖. I don't have to take time looking all the full movies but still enjoy the story
This movie sure was a special kind of horror. It left me with a bad feeling to my stomach. I can‘t even really describe it. Just seeing these people acting that rude and disrespectful, invading mothers life...it made me feel on edge and still does.
Since I am neither religious nor did I ever read the bible, I didn‘t recognise all the obvious parallels to the bible. Makes sense though. Honestly I like to interpret it a bit less religious for myself, because the theme of taking until theres nothing left got me good.
Agree, although i do have much invested into biblical studies, and overall esoteric research. This film profoundly impacted me,and left me unsettled. Uncomfortable. And heart broken. Strange indeed
Cyan Walker OMG same
Aesthetic MSP yes jeez when that happened i was mentally scarred and i still think about that scene even though i watched it about over a year ago.
Cyan Walker yeah me too! I thought that this was a critic to man's ego
i felt same too, im not very religious, i now basics, but i missed a lot in this movie, but whole point was pretty clear, jesus, god, mother earth alegories. I was amazed how good directors made that scary feeling when strangers invade house doing what they want, it is similar with today world what we do to nature, this year its clear that global warming is went to new hights since europe having worst heats waves in many years....
literally such a scary movie in such a different way.
After watching this with my friends.
One of them was traumatized by the baby scene.
My other friend just watched our reactions.
Me I was shocked but I also was curious about the ending.
I just watched this movie for the first time and I cried. As a child of an avoidant mother I get this masterpiece from a totally different perspective and felt every moment of it
Alot of people talk about how "sick" and " twisted" the movie is especially with the baby being killed and eaten, but what they fail to realize is that literally EVERYTHING in the movie is an Allegory. The baby being killed was Jesus's crucifixion and him being eaten was "The Last Supper". Although it can be gruesome, this movie is unquestionably Brilliant!!!
Specialy how humans "treat" the house and the owners. The man (God) idolized, while the mother ( life) and the house( earth) torn apart, thinking it truly belongs to them due to just "repeating" what the Man said.
Just because it has allegories doesn’t mean it’s brilliant
Just because it has dumb metaphors doesn't mean it's brilliant, it was boring and was hyped wayyy more than it should have been. Everything about it was painfully obvious and spelled out for the audience. Have you ever seen any Of The interviews about this film? Every single cast and crew member were so pretentious and unlikable, constantly saying things like "oh UwU it's one of those movies you have to watch multiple times to realky g e t, wow how subtle much masterpiece."
It’s a deliberately twisted allegory (allegories) specifically, like how some religions view another religion (a.k.a. As the enemy or horribly misguided): it’s a criticism meant to invoke horror/anger/spurn a sense of righteousness in the viewer.
And one can do the same with forms of government/politics (such as how communists view capitalism), etc.
this movie is like a bad dream...literally like you fell asleep and the movie is what you are dreaming..
UpstateCharlie same
like from scene to scene thats how my dreams always are, like in a house evolving to a school then to some other familiar building. Funny huh?
Especially the ending!
that's exactly what happened. damn, it was a horrible dream.
It’s also like a bad trip in that even the most benign event seems malignant.
OMG! Thank u for the breakdown!!! I was so lost and this really threw me..! I completely didn’t get the end (missed the beginning but couldn’t turn away after I started) 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 crazy movie
When watching this I literally assumed she was either in hell or having a nightmare as the house trashing scene would qualify as my personal hell/nightmare 100%
Well, Michelle Pfeiffer did tell her a couple of times "oh... You really love him" as in you're screwed
i love your username 😂
Upvoted the username more than the comment
@@AZOMBIERYO story of my life
Cuz god loves his creation most even know each time we will break his heart kill his son and turn on each other to the point of death he loves us so much he’ll ask mother for her heart so he can recreate use?
@@kkandsims4612 oof you saw the wrong side of the argument. it’s about how god selfishly created man so they could worship only him and how that is killing mother nature over and over in a horrible cycle. it also represents how being too religious or worshiping a person or thing too much can be very damaging.
I literally just finished watching this and I was so confused I came straight here--
SAME
Same
@ the house is mother earth. the people come there to see god (Javier Bardem), but has no respect for mother nature.
Holy shit, same
same I was so confused but I love the meaning behind it and everything makes so much sense
I always thought this movie could be a representation of the idolisation of false gods or something. Like how the husband writes poetry and eventually builds up on his fan base and lets them all in when he succeeds. His fans adore him so much that they wish to have a piece of him within them, hence the baby eating scene. It’s a good take on say when a popular celebrity has a romantic relationship and some fans are okay with it and others turn feral and hateful. Like the wife of the first man that intrudes on the home, there’s a picture of the poet in her bag, so that could relate back to her having some sort of obsession. I think Jennifer Lawrence is meant to represent that significant other that drowns in the pressures and exclusion of being with someone so famous. But there’s definitely religious aspects also so I will always have an open mind when it comes to this movie.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING IT SO WELL 😭
Finally rented this movie and wow, I've never been so stressed out and upset during a movie before.
Yes and that's why I haven't watched in since.
+Elizabeth Armstrong I was sooooo stressed
Also notice that each time she stabs someone we hear thunder in the background. Symbolizing Mother Nature fighting back
Your explanations always leave me after thinking "did i watch this movie or did i just watch your explanation of it. this one though made me want to watch it over again (or for the first time????) because i did not see it this way and makes it make so much more sense now!
The fact that she was so adamant about never doing a movie like this ever again says everything.
Why?
Not the entire house is the Garden of Eden, the office is, you can see that because when they break the gem(the forbidden fruit) they're not allowed back there again
The house seems like all dimensions, actually, right before Cain and Abel arrive you can see Him going up the stairs alone(heaven), in the middle of the house you have their room and the office(garden of eden), and then Earth, where most of the people stay, then the basement is hell, especially since it appears after the blood of Abel(the first sin) shows the door there
The end is Apocalypse, i think
Juan Vinicius wow you won the best coment vsgsh
Wow took a screenshot of your comment. Makes too much sense. Thanks!
Mother literally says, "I'll get started on the Apocalypse" ;)
I think the Doorknob used to kill the Brother is a symbol of the Apple
I don't really think so Dip Shit, the apple was the gem, since they messed with it and they were banned from eden
The Doorknob was from the eden, cain killed his brother with it so the murder weapon was a direct consequence of Adam and Eve breaking the gem and being banned from eden
Who else watches these without watching the show or movie
Maria Hernandez he gives me a reason not to watch movie but it a different story
Maria Hernandez me
Maria Hernandez me
Maria Hernandez 🙋🏼
Maria Hernandez me
The ending where they took the baby...I felt like I was going down a roller coaster for eternity...my stomach dropped and laid there😩
Lmaooooo ur commentary is so funny I had to subscribe and this movie is insane
Moral of the story: Take care of mother nature
Oh and when Adam and Eve broke the previous heart, it was the original sin when god prevented men from paradise (his study room)
L'éclectique oh shiiit
I literally had to think about what you said for a moment 🤣
I didn't catch that at first, thanks for sharing, I feel enlightened
Damn. You explained it so well I’m
Kind of embarrassed I didn’t catch it for completely sooner.
Loved this film! Still one of my favorites to this day.
