Another interesting way to look at this film is the argument as it come from "God's" side. God is an artist and his art is so important to him that he's fine with generating unending suffering over anYes that's true, and Lawrence and Bardem's roles also seem to be a commentary on traditional romantic relationships and the failings that often emerge in them. In this case, the woman wants a suffocat
Heh, thanks. I got all of that, but Jennifer seems to take a couple of different allegorical roles. Mother Nature but also Mary, since she is Jesus' mom. That was where my difficulty fitting the alleg
Ronny's Dutch Film Club (128 movies items)" chosen by Johan Notes: To be honest, following the extremely polarizing responses towards this movie, I became slightly worried but since I'm always looking for something really challenging, this movie turned out to be the right choice. First of all, I have to admit it, it was a difficult movie to read as the whole thing was just so bizarre and chaotic and I can imagine that not everyone might be able to connect with this picture.

But that was also the real beauty of it, the fact that you could give it pretty much any meaning you want. Indeed,someone might think that it is a story about motherhood, some others might say it is about how chaotic our society and way of life has become. As far as I was concerned, it felt like a fascinat"
Jennifer Lawrence = Mother Earth
Javier Bardem = God (he's writing the Bible)
First couple = Adam & Eve
Their sons = Cain & Abel
Baby = Jesus
The rest follows from there. You're welcome. :-P“ Darren Aronofsky drops an atomic bomb on the cinematic landscape, bringing passion and artistic vision to the box office where those qualities are in short supply. Mother! might be the most well crafted, intense and creative dissection of religious mythology ever made. It starts out as a slow burn mystery, feeling almost like a dream, but soon plunges forth into nightmare territory. It takes all the assumptions and contradictions of Christian dogma, contrasts them with the reality of our relationship to the Earth, and splatters them across the canvas in all their hideous cruelty.
This is not a film for people who like to have their hands held by simplistic plots, lots of exposition and a paint-by-numbers procession of events. That doesn't mean you need to be a genius to understa” read more
Look out world, its 2017 and I'm watching movies! (197 movies items)"09/25/17 Directed by: Darren Aronofsky I really don't know who this film is for. The entire film is allegory but its just so on the nose that there's nothing interesting for anyone following it and the narrative doesn't stand on its own so there's nothing there for anyone not picking up on the allegory. The best thing I can say about it is that it passed the time well enough. "

My trips to the cinema 2017 (164 movies items)"SCREENING: Regular DATE: September 18th CINEMA: Showcase Cinema de Lux LOCATION: Bluewater NOTE: This is my second failed attempt at seeing a horror-type on a Sunday with friends in a row. Sunday is all my friends can manage, and Monday held bigger things for them. However, two of them arrived later than planned and the other two couldn't make it, and so we couldn't get to the screening on the dot. In fact, two of us couldn't go at all - a guy around our age was collecting tickets at the time, "
Movies viewed in 2017 (338 movies items)"17/9/17 Darron Aronofsky's surreal and infuriating drama with Jennifer Lawrence as a woman trying to make a home but finding that a group of strangers who walk through her door are about to turn it into a living nightmare. The first hour and half are well executed with unsettling noises and a sense of tension, then it goes bonkers nuts but the final act. Still not sure if I liked it or not."
