eNICKma 240 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 This film is wildly misunderstood and completely original with enough symbolism from beginning to end to make your spin if you watch carefully. The movies core meaning and the idea behind the whole film in general is seeing and experiencing mother earth/nature through her eyes. The way the director was to be able to manifest her into one physical body was by using constant biblical references and symbolism seen throughout the film. The bible structures the film and then veiled over that was just the story of a narcissistic husband with writers block and his handy devoted wife who single handedly is restoring her loves home that is in the middle of nowhere and burnt down in a fire. If viewers did not catch up on this, she and the house are the same organism so many times u see her put her hands on the wall and you look through the wall and theres this healthy heart with a strong beat. The bible says god created the earth(mother!) And she loves him for creating her and wanted to be enough for him to live happily ever after on earth. but God then said that he needs animals, nature, and then people. Now the house and mother! Are the same organism which means the house also indicates the entire world. So each room and area had a significant meaning like the husbands office was represented as the garden of Eden. Anyways this couple shows up out of nowhere, the husband at night and his wife the next morning shows up and its just an emotional and physical slow building assault on mother! It reaches heights by the end of the film that I dont think a person can survive such a psychological and emotional trauma, rhe way she did. Then came the physical attack made on her after she cracked from the stress of what was happening. The whole mother! Movie is 100 perecent about mother earth perception of humanity and how she experienced as a person all the things we all done or have done to our planet in such disrespectful and with no regards to our greatest mother of all. I'm telling you, this woman experiences the worst thing that can happen to some One in the world and its slow building assault that keeps building to an epic brutal scene that caused her to break and fight back. This movie got an F cinema score and I genuinely don't know how that is possible the acting by Jlaw was amazing and the extreme use of biblical symbolism was a smart way to manifest mother into a real person who essentially played the virgin mary with obvious slight changes. But still...anyone whomhasnt watched it, its now on Hulu and I strongly recommend it. Its a HUGE conversation starter. Just remember the core of the movie is mother! And seeing what we do to our planet carelessly is now done to an actual woman. The bible is what structures the film and the struggling writer and his devoted living wife is the surface of it all. Its incredible and the last 50 minutesnof the movie is complete and utter chaos. * whoever watches it, let me know what u think the yellow drink mother makes when she's having a mild panic attack is. Darren aronofsky the director swears hes taking that secret to his grave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
That J 12,166 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I raved about this movie when it was released because it took my breath away! Easily one of the better films of the last who knows how long. It shocked me how many did not understand this clear vision! A fact that makes it so amazing.

Regina George 59,387 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Movie is good but they made mistake by promoting it like horror movie and it’s definitely not a horror. Trailers they made, plot they released, promo they did - all of that indicated that movie will be horror. Horrible marketing decisions were made.

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I was so confused watching this the first time because I hadn't heard or seen anything about it and just dove in. It wasn't until it all went to **** and she had the baby that I finally realised the symbolism and metaphors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true youre right but regardless the movie itself I thought was masterpiece. The promotion idicated something different but the director didn't want people going into a this movie having any concrete ideas as to what its about. So i can see how and why the promon was misleading. I loved it no matter what and have seen a movie that Deep in a long time. Ive seen it a lot from day 1 in theatres and I'm still catching things I missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo I'm telling u you gotta try to watch again it's all allegories and by the end it's a seriously insane conversation starter. Give it a second try. **** the promotion cus that means nothing just sit and re watch the movie but know that there's a core meaning to the film that is supported by biblical symbolism that's structuring the film and theh veiled with the typical struggling writer and his devoted wife who become overwhelemed by home invasion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Oak 7,689 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Actually, Jennifer Lawrence's character is Mother Earth, not the earth. Planet earth is represented by the house the live in; mother!'s creation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gag 22,449 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I only really liked this movie when I started reading about it after seeing it, not sure if that makes it good or bad but I do think it was brilliantly done. Those last 30 minutes were so shocking and raw and really allows an insight into how we're treating the Earth. I agree that they messed up the marketing of this movie though. It would've been raved about if it had been promoted as an experimental arthouse drama film rather than a home invasion horror movie. headspin, happiness, DE̤̣A̢̯͔̘T͏͙̗̟̫H̗̙͡ͅ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
