It's sad but accurate. When a child accepts someone as mother even if they are abusive or dangrouse it's unlikely they abandon them on their own choice.
The ending scene, especially when Lily's laughing and touching Mama's face while they embrace during the fall, always broke me everytime. It goes to show how much Lily loves Mama, no matter what she is. Lily didnt understand what was going on, other than the fact that she's happy because she is with Mama. But to us, the audience, we know what will happen, and for me that is heart-breaking... Still, I agree with the director that that is the only ending they could think of that fit their vision of the story. Who am I to say otherwise... Now, I just need to ease this emotional roller coaster from watching the movie...
@@filmcomicsexplained Can you add and explained the world about "The Golden Compass" and the new reboot on HBO new TV series "His Dark Materials"? Its truly fascinating and to be honest haven't read the book.
This is my favorite kind of ending, the one that is driven by the in-universe logic instead of narrative tropes and the concept of Happy endings being a must.
Honestly? I was terrified of the ghost originally then felt so bad for her. Then bawled my eyes out at the bittersweet ending. Del Toro swings a home run with this movie
I was watching Shrek and Shrek 2 for the past few months. After watching them so much, I picked up a few things that I totally missed as a kid. There is alot of adult jokes in these movies and you could only pick them up if you pay attention to what they say. Yes what they say sometimes are innocent lines, but they also mean something else.
The Mama entity is a really interesting movie monster. She's scary as hell, but really she's not evil. Her actions are all based in her desire to protect the girls, even if she's misguided
I always felt that the reason she removed her glasses before seeing Mama was not because she didn't want to see her clearly but because Mama would never approve of them and would get jealous that her human family was trying to help her see better. Just my opinion though.
Fair enough I do believe in the beginning of the movie, the father had ordered his daughter to take off Her glasses so she couldn’t see him kill her clearly. Mama got him before he could pull the trigger The parents weren’t “tragically lost. “ The father killed the mother and was planning on killing the little girls
I didn't mind the ending, because it wasn't that much of a shock considering how far gone Lily was. And you saw how much she genuinely loved Mama and saw her as just a mother and nothing else. I felt bad for Victoria though, having to lose her little sister.
So you're happy for the confused four year old who died and never got to live a future full of potential, And the reason why she was murdered is because of mamas mentally unstable jealousy(basically, if she can't have them, no one can), but sad for the one who was aware enough to know how good she had it LIVING with two people in a nice house and at this point, has her own bedroom?
I admit this was one of the few movies that scared the CRAP OUT OF ME Her movement is so creepy!!! 😰😬😰 But the ending was different from other horror movies
She's played by one of my favorite actors, Javier Botet. You should check him out! He did a lot of practice for her movements, and he truly *is* that tall and lanky.
It's actually pretty easy to understand why horror movies revolving around children scare us so much; when most of us humans encounter children, our first instinct is to protect and nurture them; if we encounter something that threatens a child's safety, our instinct is to protect them at all costs; if said threat is something that we do not understand, we begin to feel helpless and desperate to protect the child; and when we find ourselves in a situation where the child IS the threat, we become torn between our own survival and the child's.
I convinced my dad to take me to this movie when it was in cinemas by telling him it was a sad drama movie. He just slowly turned his head to me in shock when the first scary scene came up haha
I liked Mama as an antagonist, because you can empathise with her motivation, and fear her for her powers and implacable nature. Also the creature effects were wonderfully creepy.
Ah man I remember really liking the concept of this ghost. I have a good feeling about Antlers being reminded of this movie. Being produced by Del Toro and considering his passion I think he could've been involved in the making of that movie too.
This is truly one of the greatest horror movies of all time when it comes to theme. There is a real and bittersweet lesson of vertue for almost all main characters, yet all end up as they should be.
I loved the movie and loved the ending. It was poetic and logical if you can find logic in a ghost story. The youngest was attached to the Mama and that was a happy ending regarding her story arc. While not an masterpiece this movie was highly underrated...
I can't help but think about the aftermath of the movie whenever it comes up. The aunt is dead and one of the kids is missing again. How are they supposed to explain that without getting arrested or having the other kid taken away? They can't very well say a ghost did it.
The aunt went mental and abducted the children in a fit of rage and jumped off the cliff with the youngest before the couple could save her. All wrapped up!
When I first watched the film, I was left scared and mind blown, and it was the first movie that introduced me to paranormal horror films that came after. And now hearing what information I never knew about it, makes me wish the directors made another film like it, but more terrifying.
I love this film. I've seen it a million times. The style the character of mama is delivered in (all 3!) impressed me so much. And the juxtaposition of Lily vs. Victoria as a result of their bonding experiences as young children made this film a real winner for me. And even though Jessica Chastain wasn't well known when she did this film, I had seen her in many things before this so I really loved seeing her play this type of character in contrast to the roles I've seen her in before...she really shows promise as she has a great range. Remember her in "The Help"? Now that's two very different characters that were both equally convincing. Thanks...I enjoyed this video and subscribed as a result!
My entomologist father would scorn me for not pointing out that the black butterflies you mention as the sign of Mama are actually moths. The feather-like antennae are the giveaway, along with their resting wing position. They are symbolically significant too. A symbol of determination and/or death fit Mama as a symbol more than a butterfly would.
Another disagreement: I don’t believe those are black butterflies 🦋. I believe that those are moths. Moths are attributed to death 💀 and were associated with vampires or ghosts 👻 in folklore.
I kind of thought the reason why Victoria took off her glasses when she was Mama was because Mama didn’t let her wear them, cause the scene where she saw her with her glasses she took them off her and broke them 🤔
So a wraith like, quasi vengeful ghost, that's actually NOT evil nor malicious just confused, and probably somewhat angry over the loss of both her life an child. This family here could have a guardian spirit if all parties could learn to make peace and somehow coexist. itd be a twist we haven't seen done yet between spirits like "mama" and groups of humans like this family
I'm not much of a horror movie fan but the concept of this film was completely unique. For whatever reason I really enjoyed this movie. It's a "must watch!"
Fun fact the girl who plays the girlfriend in mama is actually an IT chapter two as one of the adults. The brother and sister Duo director liked her so much that they brought her back for that movie, as well as the young actress asking for her to play the older version of herself.
Whenever I think of ghosts, I think of an entity that is being denied the peace of death and is trapped in eternal suffering. Everyone around them is terrified and shuns them. I want to help them. I want to face the terror they exude in their anger and frustration and show them that I am not afraid, and that I want to help them. Watching this movie made me sad for the ghost who is suffering eternally even after her death.
I actually really liked the ending. I thought it made sense for Lily to go with mama. Because that's where she wanted to be, and she was never going to have a normal life if she stayed.. but it was apparent that Victoria could, and that's what she really wanted. So I was happy with the ending, because it seemed like everyone got what they wanted, and everything ultimately worked out for the best
The ending was so sad! When lily decided to go with Mama, I mean it made sense cuz as he said it was all she knew and she truly loved mama, she saw her as her actual mother, but man I wanted her to stay with her sister. The butterfly was a nice touch tho! It made it a little easier 🙂🦋
I love this film so much, it’s one of my favourites! As much as I would love a sequel, I feel like a prequel would be much better. We could then get a more in depth story about Mama’s past/ her story, I feel like that would be very good.
I just don’t understand why mama wasn’t satisfied with her own baby when she was finally reunited? Why kill Lily too? That ending still has me messed up. I cry every single time. But I am a mother of three girls. And of course one of their names is Lilly.
I was looking for new Horror Movies to watch and found this (and other Movies i have to watch now thanks to this channel, which got a Sub now). I stopped the Video after the first 20 Seconds and started checking out the Movie. After seeing that Guillermo Del Toro worked on it, i knew this is gonna be a good one. I was not dissapointed.
Hey Niyat, Don't know if you'll see this or not but here goes nothing. Your channel has always astonished me, the way that you go in depth, and don't skip even small details is amazing. You sparked my curiosity not only about films and comics, but life in general. You're one of my biggest inspirations, and you made me take the jump to choose my career, Audio designing and composing. I am happy to say that me and my wife have agreed to name our son "Niyat" after you. I wish you the best my friend. :)
When I watched Doctor Strange 2, weirdly enough it was kind of like Mama. A mother that was separated from “her” children and wanted them back, so she did whatever horrifying things it took to get them.
MAMA was an outstanding movie. Superb acting by the leads and the children. Mama was terrifying but you also begin to sympathize with her and by the end you can completely understand her attachment to the children. But being robbed and harmed as she was when she was alive has caused her to be filled with anger,jealousy and hate. Its a totally underrated horror movie.
At the time I saw this film, I was pretty immature in the way I perceived movies. I often forget this movie exists, but I recall thinking Mama herself was creepy in all my favorite ways (body horror and fast crawling scares me more than anything in horror movies) but underutilized, and that the plot wasn't all that interesting. Chances are I went into this one expecting a bombardment of visual scares, which I've come to learn, with much help from the Babadook, (another one which initially left me cold for the same reasons) is a bad way to go into a horror movie. I imagine if I saw Mama now I would feel very differently, and would better appreciate the effort put into it. I certainly feel differently about the Babadook now than I did upon first viewing. (Your video on that one was wonderful, btw.) Anyway, great the video, man. Made me reflect on how I've matured. Feels good.
Guillermo Del Toro should've been chosen to direct that H.P lovecraft movie in the works. I think he has a particular vision that compliments the material lovecraft wrote. What's your opinion on the lack of decent lovecraftian based media. Except for certain video games like call of cthulu or the sinking city
I think most companies decide not to because H. P. Lovecraft became a raving racist and no one wants to deal with that drama bullshit about how their "sympathetic for a racist" .
@@reggieraccoon6447 It's also possible that it's because his stories are both somehow too simple and yet too insane to be filmable. But you're probably right too
Lovecraft doesn't work that well in popular media, in my opinion. Lovecraft is slow and subtle. Not that suitable for the big screen. Better for more artsy type films, I would say.

I agree that butterflies have different meanings in different countries. Although, the movie poster shows butterflies, what was mostly shown in some scenes of the movie were actually moths.
This was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. It was of my first horror movies. And the way she moved and how she looked gave me nightmares for week's.
If you could please, I've been looking for a detailed breakdown of what the "Entity" is from Dead by Daylight. I can't really find one and you seem like the only person who really can.

Whenever mama does this very quick sprint or walk while she is twitching that got me scarred.
I remember crying like hell at the end, it was such a twist. Horror movies normally never end like that but god. They did it so well, love this movie
Guillermo del Toro movies tend to have dark endings so I was already expecting it to be bittersweet
This is my favorite kind of ending, the one that is driven by the in-universe logic instead of narrative tropes and the concept of Happy endings being a must.

Your right cause in the movie mama comes up to Victoria and breaks her glasses from right off her face, so she took em off to not anger mama

Some uterus owners NEVER want children and we should respect that instead of assuming that they'll change their minds later.
0:20 that scared the absolute shiit out of me
Have you ever thought of doing work with other youtubers? I think you and MR H Reviews would be a perfect crossover.
Mama would be much scarier if they didn't use CGI
This is one of my favorite horror movies
I remember watching this in RUclips. "All Mama's Sighting"
Man Lilly had to mess everything up at the end there. If she only had kept quiet Mama could have jumped off the cliff with her real child.
Great review, thank you.
I like the scary movie parody of this one too, wonder how they’re gona tell the courts what happened
Bro don’t scare with that first bit like I seriously almost had a heart attack
This was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. It was of my first horror movies. And the way she moved and how she looked gave me nightmares for week's.
Amazing video, as usual.
Awesome video again bro
Nice, good video. Actually watched the movie and it is great. Keep up the good work!
The thing I hated the most about this movie was Jessica chastains hair being dyed black... since she’s so “edgy”.
I hated that it was meant to show she was edgy....:but damn she pulls that hair cut off. She’s so gorge
Well she does not want to have kids so they have to move her appearance away from "social norms" 🙄
Nicola Kunz lol exactly!
If you could please, I've been looking for a detailed breakdown of what the "Entity" is from Dead by Daylight. I can't really find one and you seem like the only person who really can.
The ending made me cry
*erie unsettling silent scene in Mama*.... and then "TODAY WE'RE CANCELLING THE APOCALYPSE!"
