Magic Mike 2,657 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 it is funny. I went to see this movie at the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square with my best friend. at one point I was squirming in embarrassment because he was panting in rage until the movie was over. later, he confessed that it was the worst movie he had ever seen. and I agreed that it was absolutely terrible. then, over the next few days, I discussed the film with my colleagues at the Prince Charles, an independent cinema near Soho. I was surprised by the love of a friend I worked with, she couldn't get enough of seeing symbology and meaning. after a few years, and even without having seen this film again, I admit that never has a film stayed with me so much. I often think about it. why? I don't even know why. I know that never before has a movie made me so uncomfortable with the idea of home invasion. and what is most funny and mind-boggling is the "zapping" aspect of all the events - it really seems that we are seeing the chaos of the world succeeding itself before our eyes like an Instagram feed, like a television zapping...

Makes me think a lot about the annoying, ignorant human behavior, and how it angers me so much. In a nutshell: Jennifer Lawrence is Mother Nature, and her home (Planet Earth) is being invaded by humans, entitled to everything in it- and destroying it. Then there's the religion, God symbolism and the worship of the Man... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 24,879 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I remember being extremely excited to see this film back when it came out. Black Swan is one of my favorite films of all time, and I couldn't wait to see Aronofsky go back to the thriller genre. It's definitely puzzling if you don't have the right keys to analyze it - that's why I think it might be much more enjoyable with a second viewing. It certainly was an experience, and I don't think there's any other movie that looks quite like it. The visuals accompanying the film were also top-notch.

Bling 31,039 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I saw it in theaters opening night and was very confused as it was advertised as a horror movie. After the initial disappointment, I watched it a few times more and have come to appreciate it. But definitely not something for casual viewing. Lots of plot holes and pointless scenes. But still a great message. https://discord.gg/hausofdelulu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMS 1,822 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 It's def a movie you need to watch a few times, like the new Suspiria remake. I can see how it comes off as pretentious the first time, but afterwards you can dissect and appreciate how much effort was put into it, story and stylistically. A lot of people were upset about the baby sacrifice, but who cares...it's a movie. GAMS, gay popstar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
degenerate 526 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 It was too annoying the first time for me to want to invest another 2 hours for a second viewing. Not that I found it bad, I picked up on the symbolism and it was interesting - just not great enough for me to watch again. Jen's character could've been way more dynamic.

BradleyCooper 1,969 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 One of Jennifer’s best performances. And one of my favorite movies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaymie 843 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I think this is the only movie where I let out a literal *GASP* out loud in the theater. (the baby scene) Chaymie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 19,788 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Darren Aronosky is my favorite director, and Black Swan is my favorite movie of all time. I usually love his movies, and Mother! made me feel what I felt with Black Swan, really playing with my guts.

Mother of Puppies 35,580 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The first time I watched it it had left me .... thinking and a bit anxious... I was so full of thoughts and agitated. I also didn't get all the metaphors and did some reading afterwards... then when I watched it for the 2nd time I thought it was genius tbh. Jennifers acting in this is spectacular! So raw and real! The movie wouldn't be the same without her! I really don't understand how she wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this and why she got this award for bad acting?! Like wtf her acting was top notch! I know many people who hated the movie so it's nice to see some people who appreciate it... (and yeah, the baby scene was really disgusting but what can I say... human kind can be disgusting too) THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
