Holy Shit, this movie made me so anxious, but in a really good way, if that is possible. I'd been hearing about how disturbing this movie was, but I was not prepared for that.
@V. V Holy shit! You are triggered. Take your meds! This is from the director: Mother is the earth, Husband is God. Adam was the first to visit, followed by Eve. Soon after their sons Cain and Abel arrive. The jealous Cain then kills Abel. You should be able to figure out the rest. Do you feel stupid now?
V. V Could you please stop typing in all caps? Also, you censored the word bastard. Apparently, acting like a whiny, screaming, petty child who insults people while putting their opinions on a high pedestal is okay, but saying bastard is too much! If you don’t want to say it, then don’t type it. This isn’t Steam where swear words are censored. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
this movie is the one that i suggest to people who want to watch a pure, unadultered *absolute nightmare* unfold. it gave me so much anxiety i could barely watch it through to the end, but i am so unbelievably happy i did because it has become one of my favorite films of all time and i have so many thoughts and opinions and theories about it and what it might mean. its seriously such a well done film in the most beautiful and terrifying way.
The meaning of the movie is supposed to represent humanity violating and tormenting mother earth. Jennifer is mother earth, her husband is God, the man and wife are Adam and Eve, and the two kids are supposed to be Cain and Abel. If you rewatch it with this meaning in mind you'll realize that it makes a lot more sense.
Also, notice when Veronica (or Mother) keeps telling Woman (Eve) not to go into her husband's study. Her and the Man goes in anyway and they break his most prized possession (the crystal looking thing). It represents Eve not listening to God and partaking of the fruit.
This movie is criminally underrated. The symbolism is incredible. The acting, writing, set design, costumes, and camera work blew me away. Everyone involved is a genius. They should be so proud of what they created.
This film is nauseous at the very least !!! With the ultra unhealthy ideology !!! You have to be sick in your head to produce and direct and play in such a nauseating film !!!
People saw themselves in this movie. It gave them a reflection of how they are as humans. Unaccountable, blaming others for their actions, and taking things and breaking things that’s not theirs. Out for themselves and not thinking about others or the earth for the matter. That’s the real reason why many people disliked this movie. A true Masterpiece. 💯
@@georgeburns6512 you’re trying to insult him by making a corny joke, but his analysis of the movie in regards to humans is real. Mankind has destroyed Mother Nature, through the raping and pillaging of the worlds natural resources. We worship Gods (Christian’s, Buddhist, muslims) , like the way they worshipped the poet, and in the end naturally it’s in our nature to destroy ourselves (we have weapons that could literally obliterate the planet with the push of a button) Just like the destroyed house at the end. So maybe next time get your head out of your ass and think instead of mock.
@@bigc1202 dude I posted this like forever ago. I don’t even remember what I said at this point. This movie was clearly ass. Stop being a beta white night simp you vagina.
@@georgeburns6512 you didn’t SAY anything, you typed it you douche bag. Furthermore all you have to do is look at the comment Einstein. I can tell you’re a smart one. Ps: that last sentence was sarcasm.
I have never been pissed and literally on the verge of just going insane. You need a lot, i mean A LOT, of patience and strength to watch this without hassle.
I separate myself emotionally with these types of films. It is a mindset that lets you embrace the horror side of it without your personal feelings or "judgments" get in the way, you should try it.
This is what a trailer should be, not telling us what the whole movie is gonna be about within the 2 min, all I know is there's a husban and a wife who invited someone to come stay with them, how did he met this guy? Idk. Who's the mother? Idk, is it a horror science fiction, or a killer movie? Idk. When it comes to movies I love to not know
People are hating on this for being annoying, bruh, that's the point. The movie is annoying on purpose because it wants us to know the feeling of mother
Sir Henry : people don't get this movie. This movie is metaphorical. It is about God, Mother Earth, Adam, Eve, Jesus Christ etc. Am I the only one that got the meaning?
Mother : earth symbolism, the eternal mother which forgives or is made to. Him: god - the eternally unsatisfied creator. The rest: creations of god which know no peace and destroy mother. This was a masterpiece.
It’s a basically about god (Javier bardem) and Mother Earth (Jennifer Lawrence) being this perfect couple. Then humanity comes in and god, being loving but somewhat obtuse, let’s them in and do what they want. Mother Earth does not like this. They ruin everything and basically never listen to her and do what they want. Eventually, a little baby that represents Christ gets involved and it almost immediately killed. Mother Earth is pissed so she’s goes nuclear and burns the house down to kill everyone because they don’t appreciate the planet they’re on. She dies and god is sad. Eventually, another Mother Earth is born who isn’t her and the cycle continues again.
You people are under a spell. A spell that has been cast on you by politicians and their convenient, indoctrinating arm known simply as the school system. Manipulation is convenient, powerful and extremely effective when you are controlling information through school system. And everyone that isn't under that spell that you are under knows and see clearly that you are demented, modern day hippies. I would suggest the old catchphrase, "just listen to yourself !" but nut cases are hopelessly oblivious. There is enough crude oil under just 11 square miles (a grain of sand relative to a beach) in Colorado to provide energy for the next 10,000 years. And carbon produced from that, relative to our atmosphere, is equalent to a fart in the wind.
Me too, actually. I am a film critic. My life is devoted to movies and critiquing movies. This trailer....especially the music....had me unnerved. I've not watched this movie and now, I'm not sure I WANT to. lol Should I?
It takes a truly original film to divide audiences like this. Mother! is my favourite film of 2017. If you hate it, I can understand, but personally I loved it.
IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I have been keeping track and it turns out I think about it, one average, about every 2-3 days. I mean this scene got to me BAD. But I rewatched it recently and the rest of the movie actually is pretty amazing, especially when I know the allegory which I had absolutely no idea about when I watched this movie the first time.
I know Exactly how you felt , I'm a introvert too, 😐 and i had to cut the movie totally off for about 30 minutes. 😲😲😲 ( The really sad part is that I've have these nightmares about unwanted and invited guest that won't leave in my home repeatedly and when i wake up from them i am so overwhelmed and sweating and pissed off, because it seemed so entirely REAL!!!😐
@@witchy4985 I totally agree with you. While watching this movie I felt like the things that were happening in the movie was actually happening to me at that very moment.😐 Ive Never had a movie affect me in that mamner.
@@robertturner7147 For real! I have to stop watching it 30mns before the ending and I just googled the meaning of the story cause my mind is blowing and I wanna slap the girl for letting the guy do it for the second time around I just can’t 🤣🤣 I love the hidden meaning of the movie but it almost gave me a heart attack hahaha
@@witchy4985 Well , at least it was just a movie in our case because if it was real people like us would be getting fitted for our own personal straight-jackets right now. 😃😂😁 Have a Good Day! 😃 And do like me ,try an stay sane in an insane world. Peace ✌😁 to Ya.
Really? ipeople are dumb this days,looks like Bardem is the cult leader, Pfeiffer and Harris are high priests of the cult, and Lawrence is unknowingly groomed to be the sacrifice.
Dionizos666 It might not be like that in the actual movie. It's good when a trailer shows you a lot of footage without telling you what's actually happening.
As I was watching this movie, I had absolutely NO IDEA what the hell was happening, it was so confusing, weird, but addicting at the same time. After reading the explanation, EVERYTHING suddenly made just perfect sense and I can only say this movie is one *absolutely well-written, breathtaking and brilliant masterpiece with very important message and some seriously amazing acting!*
MichihiroHonda That probably because you don't know how to appreciate a movie for what it is really. Movie are often abstract thought of is director/writter. Who are you to say that a movie is thrash if you didn't know how to make one.If you are too much good for it well make your own.
‼ Spoiler Alert ‼ . This movie is a total Masterpiece.. The genre is horror but in a different way.. It doesn't scare you with demons and ghosts but with the dark reality of our world.. When you watch the movie you really feel bad for jennifer lawrence but the dark fact is that we actually are those people who attacked.. But God still loves us and forgives us.. The movie's message is so deep and it made me think for days.. great job done by the director
I loved your reply here, and after watching the movie and finding out what the creator of the movie's message was, I think your critique is spot on. I could not have said it better myself. :)
For those who don't understand, Jennifer Laurence represents both Mother Nature and Mother Mary. Javier Bardem represent God (thus explaining their age gap). The book (I believe it was a novel) that Javier is writing is the Bible. The man who first came into the house is Adam and the woman is Eve. Cain and Abel are represented by their two sons. Jennifer represents Mother Mary because she gave birth to Jesus, whom the people immediately begin praising. Javier Bardem wishes to take their son in order to show the public his "son." Jennifer also represents Mother Nature by showing us how humans begin to enter the house and cause havoc. That one scene where random people start painting the house's wall is our way of demonstrating that we want to help the earth, even if mother nature (Jennifer) wants us to leave.
It has nothing to do with Bible or Jesus. Don't just make things up using Jesus name or a Bible. Because there can be a very bad consequences. Be careful 🙏🏻
Me on the other hand couldn't stand seeing her big forehead that bothered me so much .Her bald forehead always pisses me off.Her alter ego Gigi hadid looks beautiful instead
People are asking why there's such a huge age gap between Jennifer Lawerence and Javier's Bardem characters. Meanwhile, I just want to know why the movie is called 'mother!'?
What is the true meaning of it? You would have to come up with your own synopsis on the movie. I just watched it with my girlfriend and we both thought it was just plain weird. It was exciting at times I guess.
I mean, I think most people's criticism of this film is that they understood the meaning loud and clear and felt that Aronofsky was too obnoxious about it. I've heard people say "we get it, it's about religion and humanity and nature" as if he forced it too much. I personally think it was great. Aronofsky seems to have this mentality of "go big or go home" which I appreciate. He fully utilises every aspect of cinema and doesn't hold back when it comes to telling his stories.
Time will be good to this masterpiece. Its hated by many aswell as loved and it will eventually become a cult classic. Give it time. This movie is what cinema was created for.
gu 221199 I also believe people don’t really NEED an explanation. The imagery alone made me feel so many things before I even was able to put all the pieces together. It’s one of those invigorating arthouse films that sneaked its way into the mainstream. I wish we had more movies like this.
I absolutely love this movie. Works on so many levels. A lot of the comments go to show how little patience, imagination, and thought people have when watching a film that isn't a mindless action or Hollywood blockbuster.
The same.. I hated it so bad it was the worst fucking movie I had to sit through thinking it was going to get better with some twist but that shit ending like wtf was the whole point just a aggravating movie that makes no fucking sense on what it's trying to tell what's so ever I just got done watching it & I'm so pissed
Antone Perreira Supposedly her Husband is 'God' and the woman represents 'Mother Nature' and her house is 'The Earth'. The baby is 'Jesus' but he got killed cause the people were handling him to roughly and they ate him 'blood and flesh of Christ' even when the Lady told her Husband not to give the baby to the people. That part will always piss me off. This movie has so many biblical things it it will be too much to explain.
It made me SO fucking mad too that it seemed like she was the only reasonable character but it makes so much sense in the context! They kept destroying nature's creations as she yells for them to stop but no one listened.
Watching this movie during quarantine hits hard in a different way. True masterpiece! 10/10. Other disturbing movies: Midsommer The ruins Uncut gems Get out Us Black swan The babadook Psycho Seven Hereditary
@angie052986 I just watched midsommar and really enjoyed it. It’s about a girl who joins her boyfriend and friends on a trip to Sweden where they learn about a cults culture and join in on their traditions. I would say it is more so disturbing than scary for sure.
@@katiequinlan7083 lol i've watched the same day but i can't say i really liked still love the director tho, Hereditary is probably my Top 2 Favorite movie.
I love and hate this movie. After you know the meaning,it makes perfect sense. While watching, it made me so upset and angry when no one listened to her and destroyed the house she worked hard for. They got this mood perfectly because that's what are we doing to our home, the Earth. That's how an horror should be,not just stupid jumpscares or ghosts/zombies/etc. I enjoy those type of movies as well but they leave nothing to me after the ending. Anyways,I won't watch Mother! ever again. It triggers me too much.
@@adyabagchi9830 it’s a representation. Jennifer is Mother Earth, the house is nature, Javier is god, the first visitors are Adam and Eve and the baby is Jesus. The story goes from the Old Testament to the New Testament
I don't understand all the hate that this movie got. I am so glad I went to watch it in the cinema, I unknowingly went to watch a masterpiece, one of my favourite movies thus far. I was speechless once it was over, few movies have had that effect on me. I don't think it matters whether you got the message or not...the imagery, the performances, the sounds, it all works out beautifully.
The meaning behind this film is just incredible... breathtaking. If you watch the movie be sure to look up the meaning because it can be a little confusing. This is what Hollywood needs. Pure brilliance in 2 hours.
When I saw this movie in theatres, and when Adam and Eve came knocking on the door and God welcomed them in for the 5th time, one of the people in the audience let out a huge "UGHHHHHHHHH" 😂😂😂😂
One of the best film I’ve seen in the last ten years. It’s a literary film. One that requires you to think and dissect its subtext. And that isn’t for everyone. But if you like provocative films - this is a great one. I really enjoyed it.
The whole movie is based on the fact that Jennifer Lawrence’s character or mother, is the first goddess and the man or HIM is god. They live peacefully before the first man which is what they call him comes to their door and kind of makes it his home too. Then after man of course comes women. They explain that they are there because they love the new book that HIM wrote, which many people believe to have been the bible. These people are supposed to be religious and love gods work. Throughout the whole movie it shows how mother wants the them (The humans) out of the house but HIM likes the attention and wants them to stay. Everybody knows what happens after that when the humans kill each other and a whole war goes on in the house. It’s supposed to show how the goddess or mother wants peace and only to be with her husband, but it also shows god being selfish and wanting for people to believe and worship him as a god. Mother ends up dying and her heart is what makes the day restart back to normal with a slightly different version of Mother coming to life. It also shows the same scene in the beginning of the movie which shows that the cycle just repeated as well. Many people think it’s supposed to show how everything was peaceful before Man or (Humans) came to gods home, (Earth) and destroyed it. All while mother, also referred to as a goddess or Mother Earth, wants to get rid of the humans, God or HIM wants them to stay and worship him. It’s a very deep movie that I didn’t understand at first but when I realized that it had to do with the bible and god I re-watched the movie and it all made sense.
@@crazybmwdude5174 What a crap movie, ok if u are showing a metaphor for God and mother nature, but too far fetched. When a baby is born, the mother usually asks to go to a hospital, not asks for people to leave her house. And I don't think thats what happened to Jesus what they showed happened to the baby !!
The husband is Him (referring to God), wife is mother (Mother nature, the house is part of her), ed harris is Adam, Michelle is Eve and their sons are Cain and Abel (Which is they're killing each other referring to the Bible), and people who keeps entering the house are us (human who lives on earth). Watch the movie again, and all make sense.
@Fred T ikr but ppl could not understand this movie and the razzies are clown shit honestly they are a bunch of students who know shit abt movies! It annoyed me a lot clearly
I was completely lost the whole movie, but couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. I must say Jennifer Lawrence is one of the best actresses I've seen in a long time.
Mother represents Mother Earth. The husband is god and the movie shows how humans destroy the earth. I made a full movie explanation in the comments here so scroll up or down to find it.
Well Darren is known to make excellent use of the endless possibilities good sound design offers. The insane montage-climax at the end of PI and Requiem for a Dream are absolute masterpieces in that regard.
I blame the Internet for convincing people that the word "existential" has no meaning whatsoever, and is just what you attach to something when you want to sound smart
y’all watching this movie with anger issues was the highlight. threw my phone a couple times❤️ however this movie was truly a MASTERPIECE. (baby scene was quiet intense too)
Spoiler Alert: So many people giving hate cause they dont get it. Cant you see that the character played by Javier is God, the Creator. Jennifer's character is mother nature. The house symbolise eaerth. Ed and Michelle are adam and eve. The child is jesus. The entire movie is retelling the bible. Great movie and great allegory.
Its not mother earth lol. Its Nature. The wrath of nature has also been shown several times in the movie as Jennifer starts screaming and the entire house (earth) is shaking. - People dont appreciate life as they should, instead they commit crimes and seek forgiveness, which is punished by nature. (Burning down the house destroying all humanity in the movie).
were you watching this movie while smoking weeds bruh ? how can you even get there ? this movie is totally piece of crap..the only thing good about this movie is jennifer lawrence and her acting..other than that, just shit all the way
This is kinda interesting. Can we just say that the director is a genius? The trailer doesn't have connection with the title itself. The director must have something for us to expect.
I feel like I just got Rickrolled into thinking I was going to see a psychological thriller about a woman's secretive husband and instead was given a confusing symbolic allegory on the Bible who's moral to me seems to be don't buy a big house in the country with Javier Bardem.
Mia Mindyourownbusiness - I did, from what the trailer suggests here it's a dark thriller perhaps dealing with an unspeakable secret held between Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Harris, and Javier Bardem and from his wife Jennifer Lawrence. A secret she's unfolding as the movie progresses. What I got instead was a deeply metaphorical story based on all creation and the world which I wish they would have just been up front about before walking in the theater. It was like framing 'The Shining' out to be a "feel good family drama about the challenges of raising a child with special needs." So that's why I say it's the marketing equivalent of walking into the theater hearing Rick Astley singing "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.."
yes yes, and your comment made me laugh, don't get me wrong it's just that as far as i understood from the movie, the house was already his, they didn't buy it together.
Mia Mindyourownbusiness - that's a fair point, looking back on it while I initially got the impression they bought the house together beforehand it does make more sense that he owned the house before and she was then fixing it up. Still though, if Javier Bardem asks you to come to live with him in the country you should be sure to establish a visitor policy beforehand. :P
I don't understand some people hating on this movie especially those who calls it worst movie. Like what kind of standards do you have? It's a well thought and well executed film. Though I had so much anxiety throughout the film, that's because the movie was so effective that you will feel that you're part of what's happening. I also got scared as what the character does, get also mad as what the main character feel especially for that baby scene. Lol. There's so much symbolism and references that after thinking about it will totally make sense. Maybe those who calls it a garbage film are the same person who would say that Marvel films are masterpiece (Oops! 🙊).
You really didn't need to add the last part some marvel monies are a masterpiece especially if you are a hardcore fan and have been with the saga for the whole 10 years
@@LEGEND-ob7ur But the problem with being a "fan" is you already have the bias. It's the same thing with Star Wars fanatics. Anyways, I'm not here for an argument. Lol. Go watch what will entertain you. I just find it odd how some people call this movie trash.
curios potato yes, it's very disturbing....does that mean you liked it? I thought it was fascinating all the extreme emotions I went thru in the 3rd act. It was very intense and I loved it.
Guys come on the brother killing the brother??that was Cain and able! Jennifer even says it’s „supposed to be a paradise“ It’s a 100% biblical. They were entering paradise/heaven and filled it with sin! Turned it into a Gomorrha. Then the poet had people praising him did horrible things and STILL he said they have to be forgiven. That’s pretty clear to me. Masterpiece but def painful to watch.
It’s actually about us human beings response to Mother Nature. Jennifer as ‘mother’ of course. She keeps telling those unwanted guests to stop doing those stuff but don’t. (Just like how we destroy earth despite the climate change and other such warnings.) awesome movie
Did they eat Jesus after giving birth to him in the Bible? Yes there is the eating of Christ and the blood of Christ and yes there is so much biblical imagery the anointing of the head too, oh wait what symbol was left on the heads? A reverse moon symbolizing the sign of cancer which in astrology represents family and tribe.Also the crescent moon also reminds me of a religious group entering our house right now. If you only saw the Christian elements I feel sorry for you, there is so, so , so much more to this story. But thanks for the Cain and able scene I don't know that story as well and totally missed that part but the story has so much raw primal ancient European imagery it got me researching ancient history and did come across Cain and Able in my research, that is a very interesting time I got the sense that around that time we had a truer sense of spirituality. What we have today is a re telling of that story that is modified, like this story is like a modified biblical story, but yeah there's way more to the story I saw the movie way more racial and about politics and immigration and a lot of European history, it was like how there were several black super hero movies but when black panther came out black people were like "This is how white people feel all the time" We have so many more white movies but they are so universal, this was so primal European esk after I was like so this is what black people sort of felt when they made black panther.
Nas the film is basically one huge metaphor, and this trailer to me seems like a typical horror filled and the film isn't that scary at all, more just messed up but it relates to the metaphor blah blah. Without spoiling it for you, I felt like I spent half the film expecting some logical explanation to wtf was going on, only to realise it's some metaphor and that was the film, it's good don't get me wrong, but I was still disappointed
*Movie Explanation* (SPOILER) It's called mother because Jen represents Mother Earth. The husband is like god and you know how he invited the people over? God created humans. Mother Earth worked hard to create earth. Jen/mother worked hard to build the house. The house is earth. Human overpopulation, humans not caring about the earth and remember the part when the couple were painting the house? It's how humans are making the earth how they want it but not how it's supposed to be. Like building buildings and factories. The house is destroyed. How humans are destroying the earth. That's also why the husband didn't die. Because he's god. Reincarnation is how the other woman was there at the end. And remember how in the beginning, the older woman (not mother) said "why don't you buy a new house instead of building this one after it was burnt down?" (Something like that) is because the previous mother burnt down the house like Jen/mother. If there's anything I missed, please reply on this. *MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE* oh yea and: mind=blown Edit: and she had the baby to try to revive the world and give it new life but the people killed it. The blood on the floor and she tries to give a sign but the people don't care and it gets worse. Mother Earth is always cleaning up after the humans give her a break. Please.
Christina Hobbs (I'm probably wrong here, but sod it) My guess is that Bardem's character is a child killer of some sort (think cult leader status) and Lawrence plays the one he chose to spare - he could be her step-father.The visitors might be acolytes who offered or wanted their children sacrificed. In terms of the title: Mother!, I can only assume she is Bardem's muse and Lawrence's mother. Whether she's evil or not, let alone alive..too early to tell.
How you seen the invitation. I'm guessing it's similar. Guys in a cult and she doesn't know about it. First one person shows up then another and they have a whole cult are there house and the husband is fine with it but she's freaking out. She could potentially be the sacrifice. We'll see. They did the trailer very well. Not many spoilers
Alexander G: I'm hoping it's not a Rosemary's baby thing. My money is on sacrifices made to keep them looking and being young.. (All of the photos on the floor) and Michelle Fieffer is maybe the "vessel" granting them life.. Looks interesting
After mother!, anyone who says Jennifer Lawence is untalented needs their head checked. She was superb and definitely the best thing about the movie. It's sad that the Academy will probably not embrace this movie, because if anyone deserves a nom this year is her.
anybody who says she cant act,is lier.she doesnt even have any acting school,she is natural.there is still something about her i really dont like and she is ruining movies for me.cant explain
It's because people can't handle being offended when they see something horrific like what happened with the baby in this film anymore. They instantly go "Nope. Worst film ever" without considering anything else about it. Not to mention the fact that a lot of people can't muster up a single brain cell to even decipher the symbolism in this film. Put not being able to handle being offended and the incapability to think into depth about what the movie could mean together and you get a lot of people that give films like this a bad rating.
Ikr.. Worst movie I ever seen. I'm having mental-broke-down. I'm still trying to get rid over it. edited : I'm so happy to see nice responders about my bad English. you guys help me a lot without knowing who I am. only that one person below me. we come from the same country,malaysia. but that attitude is normal around here. "complaint,show off and not willing to help strangers". so sad to have that kind of people in this country.
I wanted her to turn into Katniss and start killing everyone!! They were so annoying! They were literally making me so mad lol. First of all the lady breaks the crystal when told not to touch it. Second, the lady who takes away the phone when she tries to call 911 had me so mad! Then, the people who BROKE the sink cabinet 😂😂😂. Once she grabbed the glass and started stabbing everyone I was like YASSSS!
I love seeing people complain who have no idea what they're talking about. Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, and Michelle Pfeiffer in a FUCKING DARREN ARONOFSKY MOVIE IS SO GOD DAMN HYPE I CANT EVEN!!
Jennifer Lawrence is a great actor. She gets shit on by people all the time because everyone wants to be too cool to like her. She is legitimately a very talented actress though. Granted I think some people overhype her but there are people who do that with every actor. I think she deserves some slack and I am excited for her role in this movie.
Ok. So the explanation is that "mother" is Mother Earth/Mother Nature and her husband is God. You can go from there. I made a comment about the movie explanation you can look for it in the comments here for a full explanation on it. Seriously, it's not a mindfuck. 😂
This film was amazing. Most people will say "it was so broing", but those are the same people who call jump scare-movies 'horror' such as Lights Out (I never knew a loud noise was considered horror, lol). This film is original, scary and stylistic. Jennifer Lawrence deserves another Oscar for her performance in this. It is genuinely unnerving and creates horror by putting its audience in uncomfortable situations. 10/10 from me!
Spaghettiio Assassin Just because it's a more subtle performance doesn't make it bad. The whole point of her character is to be soft spoken and submissive while people cause destruction which she can do nothing about.
@Charis Shin I don’t know how to explain it because it’s not like scary wise it’s more like suspense and a disturbing feeling In your stomach type of thing and some parts are disgusting
The first couple represent Adam and Eve they disobeyed and broke that cristal Their son killed his brother (Abel and Cain) and that was the first crime of humanity .. in that same spot the earth is still bleeding The girl builed the house from aches just like the earth build itself beautifully after the cataclism of dinosaurs and all that hard work is destroyed by us by people When she prepared dinner and the people started to come in she tried to kick them out but the poet(God) told them that its their home...wow...the more i think the more i discover metaphors....it s just a piece of art
and their baby was a Jesus so Jennifer Lawrence's character can be also seen as a Mother Mary and Javier as a God and all these people as a humanity - that's why they killed the baby and ate him just how it was in the Bible
I totally feel for Jennifer's character in this film. I just got out of an engagement because they never appreciated anything I did and the people they were surrounded with just brought chaos and destroyed Everything. It was heartbreaking to hear her say some of the exact words I said. It was like watching myself on screen. I hope she gets an Oscar nod for realism.
This was the only movie that made me feel sick and dizzy especially the book signing scene. A complete mindfuck but after watching it, youll get the message or the theme of it all. One of the most memorable and gut twisting movies i have watched.
I really enjoyed this movie. I think the problem is that the trailer makes it seem like a straightforward triller film when it's really more of a surreal Arthouse sort of thing, it's a bit misleading and I can understand some peoples disappointment. Jennifer Lawrence's performance is amazing! If you see this film I recommend you don't try and analyse or interpret- just watch it using only your senses and emotions.
You really have to be prepared for this movie, otherwise you will just think "WTF am I watching here?!" It is a metapher and when you keep that in mind through the movie, everything makes sense.
The mansion: house of god Location: Eden God: the Husband Virgin Mary: the wife (Jen Lawrence) Their baby: Jesus (sacrificed by fanatics) First couple: Adam and Eve First couple's sons: Abel and Cain After god banished Adam and Eve for shattering the crystal (the forbidden fruit), humanity turned feral, primitive, barbaric and vicious. The final attack on the house showed the many different faces of humanity. Some turned cultist, others made wars with each other etc.
this movie was truly one of the greatest films i have ever seen, and i do not hand that title out to just any film i come across. it played with my emotions like a child with a violent behavioral disorder and threw me into such an anxiety-inducing atmosphere that i truly had no idea what to do with myself by the end of it. i have never come across such a dividing film in my entire life (other than The Last Jedi when that came out) and i just know this will become a cult classic that people will talk about for YEARS.
Yes, georgew123, one never knows when the grammar police will catch up with one while one is in the constant throes of wondering what is "going happening."
I cried a lot after watching the movie , small things killing us and make our beloved suffering just because we run after our dreams, ego, success regardless of the pain that might happen to them . Wasn't easy for me to watch it I felt insecure and anxious so sorrow but that's the truth of life, great film!
Яреб В this is not what this movie was about. Its about people ruining mother earth intruding it the man was playing God giving the earth to his people she gave birth to their sun and people killed his son just like the bible also cain and abel kolled hos brother its a lot of biblocal references. We destroy earth we destroy everything God gave us.
Think4yourself it's open to interpretation. You may have one view, other people may have another. One thing that makes this film great is that it has so many different meanings, even if they were unintentional by Darren aronkfsky.
I watched this film alone in the theater. I had tears in my eyes at the end. Truly an outstanding, meaningful film and an outstanding performance by Jennifer.
This director is either fucking brilliant or needs help. I still can't decide..but Jennifer Lawrence definitely needs an oscar for this disturbingly well done performance!
This is a great depiction of a narcissist and their victims. Put you through a living hell, take everything and come back for more. Then they start over with another new ‘supply’. Anyone who has suffered from narcissistic abuse can totally relate to this movie.
I personnally think people that are still arguing about her acting abilities today are simply haters and will never be convinced anyway. Lawrence proved her talents as an actress years ago. First in winter's bone when she delivered a stellar performance. And she confirmed in American Hustle which in my opinion is her most spectacular performance to date even though it was a supporting role. She simply has nothing to prove to anyone now.
jennifer lawrence represents as the mother (Mother nature) which is bound to protect the earth which is their home from people who tries to barged in and ruin it jennifer's husband represents as God which in the movie he is nice and hospitable to strangers that represents the people on earth even if theyre trying to ruin it and the visitors/strangers represents the people on earth the first two guests represents adam and eve and there two sons represents cain and abel the room that the husband forbids and the glass stuff that the husband forbid from touching which the visitors touch represents the apple that God forbid adam and eve from eating which technically they ate this movie is creative and a whole masterpiece
One of the best movies ever but also one of the most underrated. Our society is too ignorant to appreciate such a masterpiece. It's not about enjoying it, or about agreeing with the message, but about how truly well done it is made and how powerful and raw is Aronofsky's message. No other film has ever made my heart race as if I myself was in danger.
M M the people don't the movies that have a real message of the reality of our life - this movie is amazing and underrated as f \ it's one of my top 10 movies of all time WHAT A MASTERPIECE
This was by far the most fucked up movie I have ever seen. It's what made the movie a masterpiece because literally no matter what way you interpret it, it leads back to how horrible humans are
Sure, humans are horrible. But I think the film deals with how some are able to give and express love for another, while others thrive on the love they receive, but are unable to give it back to the person who gave it to them. You're either a spring from which water flows, or you're a washcloth that dries up the water. Neither of them are necessarily bad. People are just different.
FOR EVERYONE CRITICIZING THE AGE GAP! Darren Aronofsky wrote this character with Jennifer Lawrence in mind and specifically wanted Javier Bardem because of his intimidating nature. The age gap has a purpose for the plot, that's what the Director himself said.
Dudebro13454 Bro Well, she's 26 and far from being underaged. So the way I see it, there is no fucking reason at all people should be making such a huge ass deal about it in the first place.
Dudebro13454 Bro are you still in high school to judge the relationship of two adults? Since when has it become your business to say that two clearly mature adults who love each other, is inappropriate?
Just watched this and let me tell you... I went from "wtf" to "omg" so many times , I had to read the reviews to realise what the real meaning was... this film is as remarkable as the actors staring in it. 10/10 !
having uninvited people coming to my house is my nightmare.
So was watching this movie.
LOL so right!
@Lee Ara i definitely hate
I admit it's a feat that the allegory in this movie is so shallow, and somehow your attempt at a joke doesn't even go that deep
Imagine how this planet and mother nature feels
WARNING . Do not watch this movie when youre angry or havin a breakdown. Because this movie will legit make you insane.
True👍👍
dude, this movie made me so fucking furious, and this woman wouldn't fight for herself!
I just watched this movie and I am so angry now 😭😭😭😭
Holy Shit, this movie made me so anxious, but in a really good way, if that is possible. I'd been hearing about how disturbing this movie was, but I was not prepared for that.
I am !!
And I feel I want to see the movie!
The real horror is being in your mid-twenties and waking up next to a 50 year old man.
They explain the age gap in the movie

Sooooo sex with someone in their mid 20s is pedophelia, really? What would you then say is hebephilia, or even adult sex, for that matter?
I have seen couples with big age gaps and they are doing fine. As long they are both grown ass adults not a problem for me. Its none of our business.
This was Jennifer’s best performance. So very underrated. Movie was a masterpiece.
@V. V Holy shit! You are triggered. Take your meds! This is from the director: Mother is the earth, Husband is God. Adam was the first to visit, followed by Eve. Soon after their sons Cain and Abel arrive. The jealous Cain then kills Abel. You should be able to figure out the rest. Do you feel stupid now?
@V. V Your comment is practically a copypasta! It doesn't help that this one also suspiciously has nothing more than one like.
@V. V sir, calm your tits. Just cause your mind is too small to handle this movie doesn't make it right to troll the rest of us cultured folk.
@V. V Ok Boomer
V. V Could you please stop typing in all caps? Also, you censored the word bastard. Apparently, acting like a whiny, screaming, petty child who insults people while putting their opinions on a high pedestal is okay, but saying bastard is too much!

“director of requiem for a dream and black swan”
well this is going to be a nightmare
I did watch it and for me it´s a beautiful nightmare
this movie is the one that i suggest to people who want to watch a pure, unadultered *absolute nightmare* unfold. it gave me so much anxiety i could barely watch it through to the end, but i am so unbelievably happy i did because it has become one of my favorite films of all time and i have so many thoughts and opinions and theories about it and what it might mean. its seriously such a well done film in the most beautiful and terrifying way.
@@jadesmediacorner আ
Alaktar Biswas ??
and the fountain
The meaning of the movie is supposed to represent humanity violating and tormenting mother earth. Jennifer is mother earth, her husband is God, the man and wife are Adam and Eve, and the two kids are supposed to be Cain and Abel. If you rewatch it with this meaning in mind you'll realize that it makes a lot more sense.
Mint Tea Thank You !
Also, notice when Veronica (or Mother) keeps telling Woman (Eve) not to go into her husband's study. Her and the Man goes in anyway and they break his most prized possession (the crystal looking thing). It represents Eve not listening to God and partaking of the fruit.
Oh wow that's made it sound worthy of watching now cheers 🤪🙃
That's making sense
Thanks bro.
Just The Good Parts wow I didn't notice that before.
This movie is criminally underrated. The symbolism is incredible. The acting, writing, set design, costumes, and camera work blew me away. Everyone involved is a genius. They should be so proud of what they created.

This film is nauseous at the very least !!! With the ultra unhealthy ideology !!! You have to be sick in your head to produce and direct and play in such a nauseating film !!!
@@SAMI-132 respectfully, I disagree. It's about humanity, religion, and mostly, global warming. It is a poignant perspective.
right
People saw themselves in this movie. It gave them a reflection of how they are as humans. Unaccountable, blaming others for their actions, and taking things and breaking things that’s not theirs. Out for themselves and not thinking about others or the earth for the matter. That’s the real reason why many people disliked this movie. A true Masterpiece. 💯
Whatever drugs you are on you need to pass that stuff my way.
@@georgeburns6512 you’re trying to insult him by making a corny joke, but his analysis of the movie in regards to humans is real. Mankind has destroyed Mother Nature, through the raping and pillaging of the worlds natural resources. We worship Gods (Christian’s, Buddhist, muslims) , like the way they worshipped the poet, and in the end naturally it’s in our nature to destroy ourselves (we have weapons that could literally obliterate the planet with the push of a button) Just like the destroyed house at the end. So maybe next time get your head out of your ass and think instead of mock.

Oh mY goSh this movie gave me so much anger
Why?
Me too, I keep getting annoyed and frustrated lol
I separate myself emotionally with these types of films. It is a mindset that lets you embrace the horror side of it without your personal feelings or "judgments" get in the way, you should try it.
This is what a trailer should be, not telling us what the whole movie is gonna be about within the 2 min, all I know is there's a husban and a wife who invited someone to come stay with them, how did he met this guy? Idk. Who's the mother? Idk, is it a horror science fiction, or a killer movie? Idk. When it comes to movies I love to not know
.......ok then.......
GammerShipping Gal are you a gal? Or a grown ass man pretending to be a girl? Idk
Lmfao I love to not know 😂😂😂 god you are why the world is amazing! May you live forever
Except when it ruins the ending by showing us that the main character Jennifer Lawrence dies at the end.
u r a good troll
mother nature screaming at thousands of people to *get out of her house* is the most painful thing..
People are hating on this for being annoying, bruh, that's the point. The movie is annoying on purpose because it wants us to know the feeling of mother
This movie felt like an *actual* nightmare

Sir Henry : people don't get this movie. This movie is metaphorical. It is about God, Mother Earth, Adam, Eve, Jesus Christ etc. Am I the only one that got the meaning?
Mother : earth symbolism, the eternal mother which forgives or is made to.
Him: god - the eternally unsatisfied creator.
The rest: creations of god which know no peace and destroy mother.
This was a masterpiece.
That's your interpretation of the movie? anyways just finished watching it, really deep stuff..
On the contrary, "God" was the one who forgives and the "mother" was the one who didn't want to know anything about humans.
ARMY? What are you doing here💜💜
I thought it wasn’t too good. It has a 50% on Rotten Tomatoes for a reason.
she is not the mother earth
It’s a basically about god (Javier bardem) and Mother Earth (Jennifer Lawrence) being this perfect couple. Then humanity comes in and god, being loving but somewhat obtuse, let’s them in and do what they want. Mother Earth does not like this. They ruin everything and basically never listen to her and do what they want. Eventually, a little baby that represents Christ gets involved and it almost immediately killed. Mother Earth is pissed so she’s goes nuclear and burns the house down to kill everyone because they don’t appreciate the planet they’re on. She dies and god is sad. Eventually, another Mother Earth is born who isn’t her and the cycle continues again.

OH MY GOD THAT BABY SCENE TRAUMATISED ME FOR TWO YEARS
IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I have been keeping track and it turns out I think about it, one average, about every 2-3 days. I mean this scene got to me BAD. But I rewatched it recently and the rest of the movie actually is pretty amazing, especially when I know the allegory which I had absolutely no idea about when I watched this movie the first time.
When is the scene in the movie so I can avoid it LOL
Nobody. 1:46:00 avoid that area, skip to like 1:48:32
Omg SAME I’m literally traumatized from that scene. They really snapped that baby’s head so quick after she just gave birth 😫😫
Demi Cynara Thanos worst movie ever! I regret everything single minute
I COULD NOT BREATH the entire time. As an introvert I wanted to stop watching, it got worse and worse.
I know Exactly how you felt , I'm a introvert too, 😐 and i had to cut the movie totally off for about 30 minutes. 😲😲😲 ( The really sad part is that I've have these nightmares about unwanted and invited guest that won't leave in my home repeatedly and when i wake up from them i am so overwhelmed and sweating and pissed off, because it seemed so entirely REAL!!!😐

Gabriel Castro Me too, my friend. Me too.
As I was watching this movie, I had absolutely NO IDEA what the hell was happening, it was so confusing, weird, but addicting at the same time. After reading the explanation, EVERYTHING suddenly made just perfect sense and I can only say this movie is one *absolutely well-written, breathtaking and brilliant masterpiece with very important message and some seriously amazing acting!*
xx no it was an enormous pile of horse excrement from start to finish.
MichihiroHonda That probably because you don't know how to appreciate a movie for what it is really. Movie are often abstract thought of is director/writter.
Who are you to say that a movie is thrash if you didn't know how to make one.If you are too much good for it well make your own.
Was that really what his explanation was? The story says so much taboo stuff, he would lie and say that!
If a movie requires me to sit and read an explanation to even START to get it, it ain't a masterpiece.
Mother nature- The house is the world, he is mankind. You're welcome.
‼ Spoiler Alert ‼
.
This movie is a total Masterpiece.. The genre is horror but in a different way.. It doesn't scare you with demons and ghosts but with the dark reality of our world.. When you watch the movie you really feel bad for jennifer lawrence but the dark fact is that we actually are those people who attacked.. But God still loves us and forgives us.. The movie's message is so deep and it made me think for days.. great job done by the director
Jjanyangie Bae rather than scaring you it makes my anxious, which is pretty rare in the horror film industry (also nice pfp lol)
ISWJYxual yes you're right.. especially when you understand the movie (I also like your pfp 😆 I guess you must be a reveluv, right?)
Also based on how you understand the movie (and once a reveluv always a reveluv)
But still, the poor baby.
I loved your reply here, and after watching the movie and finding out what the creator of the movie's message was, I think your critique is spot on. I could not have said it better myself. :)
For those who don't understand, Jennifer Laurence represents both Mother Nature and Mother Mary. Javier Bardem represent God (thus explaining their age gap). The book (I believe it was a novel) that Javier is writing is the Bible. The man who first came into the house is Adam and the woman is Eve. Cain and Abel are represented by their two sons. Jennifer represents Mother Mary because she gave birth to Jesus, whom the people immediately begin praising. Javier Bardem wishes to take their son in order to show the public his "son." Jennifer also represents Mother Nature by showing us how humans begin to enter the house and cause havoc. That one scene where random people start painting the house's wall is our way of demonstrating that we want to help the earth, even if mother nature (Jennifer) wants us to leave.

Oscar worthy in my eyes. It’s a shame not a lot of people understood the true meaning of this underrated masterpiece
What is the true meaning of it? You would have to come up with your own synopsis on the movie. I just watched it with my girlfriend and we both thought it was just plain weird. It was exciting at times I guess.
This movie is a dumpster fire. Wasted 2 hours of my life
I mean, I think most people's criticism of this film is that they understood the meaning loud and clear and felt that Aronofsky was too obnoxious about it. I've heard people say "we get it, it's about religion and humanity and nature" as if he forced it too much. I personally think it was great. Aronofsky seems to have this mentality of "go big or go home" which I appreciate. He fully utilises every aspect of cinema and doesn't hold back when it comes to telling his stories.
@@FloydtheRoommate ye true
@@dbodooley It's all about GOD and Mother Nature. The invaders symbolizes as the man kind that destroys mother nature.

gu 221199 I also believe people don’t really NEED an explanation. The imagery alone made me feel so many things before I even was able to put all the pieces together. It’s one of those invigorating arthouse films that sneaked its way into the mainstream. I wish we had more movies like this.
WILD WUNZ Machine Productions facts
I absolutely love this movie. Works on so many levels. A lot of the comments go to show how little patience, imagination, and thought people have when watching a film that isn't a mindless action or Hollywood blockbuster.
PREACH, SIS!
A lot of “cult classics” are overrated trash, like this movie.
This movie pissed me off cause nobody not even her husband was listening
Paliana haha😀
Exactly! I was getting mad vex over that.
The same.. I hated it so bad it was the worst fucking movie I had to sit through thinking it was going to get better with some twist but that shit ending like wtf was the whole point just a aggravating movie that makes no fucking sense on what it's trying to tell what's so ever I just got done watching it & I'm so pissed
Antone Perreira Supposedly her Husband is 'God' and the woman represents 'Mother Nature' and her house is 'The Earth'. The baby is 'Jesus' but he got killed cause the people were handling him to roughly and they ate him 'blood and flesh of Christ' even when the Lady told her Husband not to give the baby to the people. That part will always piss me off. This movie has so many biblical things it it will be too much to explain.
It made me SO fucking mad too that it seemed like she was the only reasonable character but it makes so much sense in the context! They kept destroying nature's creations as she yells for them to stop but no one listened.
I've never been so stressed from a movie.

While watching, it made me so upset and angry when no one listened to her and destroyed the house she worked hard for.
They got this mood perfectly because that's what are we doing to our home, the Earth.
That's how an horror should be,not just stupid jumpscares or ghosts/zombies/etc.
I enjoy those type of movies as well but they leave nothing to me after the ending.

I don't understand all the hate that this movie got. I am so glad I went to watch it in the cinema, I unknowingly went to watch a masterpiece, one of my favourite movies thus far. I was speechless once it was over, few movies have had that effect on me. I don't think it matters whether you got the message or not...the imagery, the performances, the sounds, it all works out beautifully.
The meaning behind this film is just incredible... breathtaking. If you watch the movie be sure to look up the meaning because it can be a little confusing. This is what Hollywood needs. Pure brilliance in 2 hours.
goddesscce 2 hours of utter shite.
Lmao I hope this comment was sarcastic... If it's serious then bitch you are psychotic just like the movie
So mother was the nature, husband was God, the house was the earth, and the others were the stuff we created that completely destroyed the earth...
The others was just human nature in general
And the baby was Jesus Christ. The guests butchering and eating the newborn baby signifies Jesus dying on the cross for human salvation
When I saw this movie in theatres, and when Adam and Eve came knocking on the door and God welcomed them in for the 5th time, one of the people in the audience let out a huge "UGHHHHHHHHH" 😂😂😂😂
Erin Victoria 😂😂😂
I watched this for the first time last night in the comfort of my own house and I was groaning out loud because of the FRUSTRATION 😂😂😂
One of the best film I’ve seen in the last ten years. It’s a literary film. One that requires you to think and dissect its subtext. And that isn’t for everyone. But if you like provocative films - this is a great one. I really enjoyed it.
You can mention some more titles of provocative films :)
*For the whole damn time, I just wanted her husband to listen to her.*
But anyways, it was spectacular. I will never forget this masterpiece.
WHAT IS HER HUSBAND ANYWAYS, WHAT IS HE
@@bluefacebaby6260 metaphorically some say its Jesus/God
The whole movie is based on the fact that Jennifer Lawrence’s character or mother, is the first goddess and the man or HIM is god. They live peacefully before the first man which is what they call him comes to their door and kind of makes it his home too. Then after man of course comes women. They explain that they are there because they love the new book that HIM wrote, which many people believe to have been the bible. These people are supposed to be religious and love gods work. Throughout the whole movie it shows how mother wants the them (The humans) out of the house but HIM likes the attention and wants them to stay. Everybody knows what happens after that when the humans kill each other and a whole war goes on in the house. It’s supposed to show how the goddess or mother wants peace and only to be with her husband, but it also shows god being selfish and wanting for people to believe and worship him as a god. Mother ends up dying and her heart is what makes the day restart back to normal with a slightly different version of Mother coming to life. It also shows the same scene in the beginning of the movie which shows that the cycle just repeated as well. Many people think it’s supposed to show how everything was peaceful before Man or (Humans) came to gods home, (Earth) and destroyed it. All while mother, also referred to as a goddess or Mother Earth, wants to get rid of the humans, God or HIM wants them to stay and worship him. It’s a very deep movie that I didn’t understand at first but when I realized that it had to do with the bible and god I re-watched the movie and it all made sense.
CrazyBMWdude woahhhh that makes sense, thank youuuu.
@@crazybmwdude5174 What a crap movie, ok if u are showing a metaphor for God and mother nature, but too far fetched. When a baby is born, the mother usually asks to go to a hospital, not asks for people to leave her house. And I don't think thats what happened to Jesus what they showed happened to the baby !!
The husband is Him (referring to God), wife is mother (Mother nature, the house is part of her), ed harris is Adam, Michelle is Eve and their sons are Cain and Abel (Which is they're killing each other referring to the Bible), and people who keeps entering the house are us (human who lives on earth). Watch the movie again, and all make sense.
Ho Lee Fuk the uneducated will not get this movie.
Great name btw!😁

I was completely lost the whole movie, but couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. I must say Jennifer Lawrence is one of the best actresses I've seen in a long time.
Manny G. Forever I was thinking the same thing.. like she put her SOUL in the movie.
It’s the Bible. The writer is God, she is either Mother Nature or Mary, then there’s Adam and Eve. Cain and Abel. It’s basically the Bible.
Mother represents Mother Earth. The husband is god and the movie shows how humans destroy the earth. I made a full movie explanation in the comments here so scroll up or down to find it.
she is nomminated for worst actress at razzies lol
well, she is not. Because worst actors/actress are people like Nicolas cage, and ''Oh Haaai Mark'' guy..She is NO way on that level
holy crap, that sound design
It's SOOOO GOOOOOOOD
Hell yes! As much as I love Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Darren Aronofsky, that was the first thing that caught my attention.
ik
Well Darren is known to make excellent use of the endless possibilities good sound design offers. The insane montage-climax at the end of PI and Requiem for a Dream are absolute masterpieces in that regard.

I watched this while high and I genuinely have never had such an intense existential crisis. Best movie.
hahahahaha!
bro the first time i watched it i was high and YES that was an intense experience.
I blame the Internet for convincing people that the word "existential" has no meaning whatsoever, and is just what you attach to something when you want to sound smart
Probably the only way to enjoy it
I was considering watching this tonight, but I’ve smoked a bit and don’t know if I’m prepared to have an existential crisis.
y’all watching this movie with anger issues was the highlight. threw my phone a couple times❤️ however this movie was truly a MASTERPIECE. (baby scene was quiet intense too)
Spoiler Alert:
So many people giving hate cause they dont get it. Cant you see that the character played by Javier is God, the Creator. Jennifer's character is mother nature. The house symbolise eaerth. Ed and Michelle are adam and eve. The child is jesus. The entire movie is retelling the bible. Great movie and great allegory.
Anusanth Krishnanithy mother earth? Where is that in the bible? Weird
Its not mother earth lol. Its Nature. The wrath of nature has also been shown several times in the movie as Jennifer starts screaming and the entire house (earth) is shaking. - People dont appreciate life as they should, instead they commit crimes and seek forgiveness, which is punished by nature. (Burning down the house destroying all humanity in the movie).

*Adam

were you watching this movie while smoking weeds bruh ? how can you even get there ? this movie is totally piece of crap..the only thing good about this movie is jennifer lawrence and her acting..other than that, just shit all the way
It was still awful.
This is kinda interesting. Can we just say that the director is a genius? The trailer doesn't have connection with the title itself. The director must have something for us to expect.
Arie L I feel the title mother links to him saying he wants to bring life into the house...who brings life into this world? Mothers.
Fun Fact: The Director made some of the iconic movies such as the Conjuring, Noah, and some others.
Ando Ruruka nah dude. James wan directed the conjuring.
Estelle Davis What the fuck are you talking about
I'm pretty sure the title world have something to do with the movie.
I feel like I just got Rickrolled into thinking I was going to see a psychological thriller about a woman's secretive husband and instead was given a confusing symbolic allegory on the Bible who's moral to me seems to be don't buy a big house in the country with Javier Bardem.
buy a big house with.. did you watch the movie?
Mia Mindyourownbusiness - I did, from what the trailer suggests here it's a dark thriller perhaps dealing with an unspeakable secret held between Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Harris, and Javier Bardem and from his wife Jennifer Lawrence. A secret she's unfolding as the movie progresses. What I got instead was a deeply metaphorical story based on all creation and the world which I wish they would have just been up front about before walking in the theater. It was like framing 'The Shining' out to be a "feel good family drama about the challenges of raising a child with special needs." So that's why I say it's the marketing equivalent of walking into the theater hearing Rick Astley singing "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.."
yes yes, and your comment made me laugh, don't get me wrong
it's just that as far as i understood from the movie, the house was already his, they didn't buy it together.
Mia Mindyourownbusiness - that's a fair point, looking back on it while I initially got the impression they bought the house together beforehand it does make more sense that he owned the house before and she was then fixing it up. Still though, if Javier Bardem asks you to come to live with him in the country you should be sure to establish a visitor policy beforehand. :P
haha :)
I don't understand some people hating on this movie especially those who calls it worst movie. Like what kind of standards do you have? It's a well thought and well executed film. Though I had so much anxiety throughout the film, that's because the movie was so effective that you will feel that you're part of what's happening. I also got scared as what the character does, get also mad as what the main character feel especially for that baby scene. Lol. There's so much symbolism and references that after thinking about it will totally make sense. Maybe those who calls it a garbage film are the same person who would say that Marvel films are masterpiece (Oops! 🙊).
ARKANGHEL preaaach
Yas! I'm so stressed with this movie. Like I need to make myself calm down and think that "it's just a movie"
P. S.
Marvel films are still awesome
You really didn't need to add the last part some marvel monies are a masterpiece especially if you are a hardcore fan and have been with the saga for the whole 10 years
@@LEGEND-ob7ur
But the problem with being a "fan" is you already have the bias. It's the same thing with Star Wars fanatics. Anyways, I'm not here for an argument. Lol. Go watch what will entertain you. I just find it odd how some people call this movie trash.
"Same people who watched all Adam sandler's movies" would be more offensive bud
last 30 minutes of this film is like the worst nightmare you've ever had
curios potato yes, it's very disturbing....does that mean you liked it? I thought it was fascinating all the extreme emotions I went thru in the 3rd act. It was very intense and I loved it.
yeah, i enjoyed it.
YESS
Yes. Love it so much.
Last 30 min? I would say since the first death... Thats half of the movie or so.
Guys come on the brother killing the brother??that was Cain and able! Jennifer even says it’s „supposed to be a paradise“
It’s a 100% biblical. They were entering paradise/heaven and filled it with sin! Turned it into a Gomorrha. Then the poet had people praising him did horrible things and STILL he said they have to be forgiven.
That’s pretty clear to me.
Masterpiece but def painful to watch.
yeah it's basically the origin and downfall of humanity, it's not a movie I recommened to others to watch, but A movie I'm glad to have watched
yeah no shit numb nuts. we all picked up on that.
It’s actually about us human beings response to Mother Nature. Jennifer as ‘mother’ of course. She keeps telling those unwanted guests to stop doing those stuff but don’t. (Just like how we destroy earth despite the climate change and other such warnings.) awesome movie
Did they eat Jesus after giving birth to him in the Bible? Yes there is the eating of Christ and the blood of Christ and yes there is so much biblical imagery the anointing of the head too, oh wait what symbol was left on the heads? A reverse moon symbolizing the sign of cancer which in astrology represents family and tribe.Also the crescent moon also reminds me of a religious group entering our house right now. If you only saw the Christian elements I feel sorry for you, there is so, so , so much more to this story. But thanks for the Cain and able scene I don't know that story as well and totally missed that part but the story has so much raw primal ancient European imagery it got me researching ancient history and did come across Cain and Able in my research, that is a very interesting time I got the sense that around that time we had a truer sense of spirituality. What we have today is a re telling of that story that is modified, like this story is like a modified biblical story, but yeah there's way more to the story I saw the movie way more racial and about politics and immigration and a lot of European history, it was like how there were several black super hero movies but when black panther came out black people were like "This is how white people feel all the time" We have so many more white movies but they are so universal, this was so primal European esk after I was like so this is what black people sort of felt when they made black panther.
This film is nothing like the trailer! Not really a horror, more emotionally scarring tbh
Nas the film is basically one huge metaphor, and this trailer to me seems like a typical horror filled and the film isn't that scary at all, more just messed up but it relates to the metaphor blah blah. Without spoiling it for you, I felt like I spent half the film expecting some logical explanation to wtf was going on, only to realise it's some metaphor and that was the film, it's good don't get me wrong, but I was still disappointed
This movie is a masterpiece!!! If you've had any sort of religious upbringing, or were brought up in church, you'll get it.
*Movie Explanation* (SPOILER) It's called mother because Jen represents Mother Earth. The husband is like god and you know how he invited the people over? God created humans. Mother Earth worked hard to create earth. Jen/mother worked hard to build the house. The house is earth. Human overpopulation, humans not caring about the earth and remember the part when the couple were painting the house? It's how humans are making the earth how they want it but not how it's supposed to be. Like building buildings and factories. The house is destroyed. How humans are destroying the earth. That's also why the husband didn't die. Because he's god. Reincarnation is how the other woman was there at the end. And remember how in the beginning, the older woman (not mother) said "why don't you buy a new house instead of building this one after it was burnt down?" (Something like that) is because the previous mother burnt down the house like Jen/mother. If there's anything I missed, please reply on this. *MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE* oh yea and: mind=blown
Edit: and she had the baby to try to revive the world and give it new life but the people killed it. The blood on the floor and she tries to give a sign but the people don't care and it gets worse. Mother Earth is always cleaning up after the humans give her a break. Please.
aesthetic mood. Bro this makes perfect sense. I was thinking the same thing while I was watching it, I completely understood
Make a spiler alert pls
omg thats correct 😍😍
Thanks a lot! This makes a lot more sense then the version with Adam, Eve, Jesus etc..
aesthetic mood. i think it was about everything religion social racism sexism mother earth all of it it was basically life
"He has pictures of you in his luggage."
"What were you doing in their luggage?"
I'm sorry did you not hear me?!
Also what is this movie about?
Christina Hobbs (I'm probably wrong here, but sod it)
My guess is that Bardem's character is a child killer of some sort (think cult leader status) and Lawrence plays the one he chose to spare - he could be her step-father.The visitors might be acolytes who offered or wanted their children sacrificed.
In terms of the title: Mother!, I can only assume she is Bardem's muse and Lawrence's mother. Whether she's evil or not, let alone alive..too early to tell.
How you seen the invitation. I'm guessing it's similar. Guys in a cult and she doesn't know about it. First one person shows up then another and they have a whole cult are there house and the husband is fine with it but she's freaking out. She could potentially be the sacrifice. We'll see. They did the trailer very well. Not many spoilers
Alexander G: I'm hoping it's not a Rosemary's baby thing. My money is on sacrifices made to keep them looking and being young.. (All of the photos on the floor) and Michelle Fieffer is maybe the "vessel" granting them life.. Looks interesting
Christina Hobbs hi by
+Alexander G If that is not the premise, you should pitch this idea...I'd watch it!
This might just be my new favorite episode of Black Mirror.
!that's exactly what I thought
haha yeah it kinda has that vibe
Black mirrors a shitload better than this
Yes definitely like black mirror! :) taking celebrity obsession to a dark and disturbing level like how Charlie Broker does this with technology
Kerrie Cobain Black Mirror but without technology
Jennifer Lawrence's tenderness, her anger, this film explores every nuances of Jennifer's acting. She has done a fantastic performance in this movie.
After mother!, anyone who says Jennifer Lawence is untalented needs their head checked. She was superb and definitely the best thing about the movie. It's sad that the Academy will probably not embrace this movie, because if anyone deserves a nom this year is her.
Word.
anybody who says she cant act,is lier.she doesnt even have any acting school,she is natural.there is still something about her i really dont like and she is ruining movies for me.cant explain
I found the crazy jealous one!
No.

Yes, sis fam, we are so here for all of those movies as undifferentiated "weird shit", mm hmm no you didn't honey chile periodt
@@ASHTREY yess those are the best type of movies
But I feel like those movies deserve a whole new category
One of the best movies I've seen in recent years. Not sure why so many people hated it
It's because people can't handle being offended when they see something horrific like what happened with the baby in this film anymore. They instantly go "Nope. Worst film ever" without considering anything else about it. Not to mention the fact that a lot of people can't muster up a single brain cell to even decipher the symbolism in this film. Put not being able to handle being offended and the incapability to think into depth about what the movie could mean together and you get a lot of people that give films like this a bad rating.
Whoever edited this trailer is a genius!
Just finished it. My mind is all over the place.
Heidi Caterina sff
Ikr.. Worst movie I ever seen. I'm having mental-broke-down. I'm still trying to get rid over it.

Azhar Mohammad will u do free classes for me? please correct my sentences. i really need to know my mistakes. thank you.
miyaa liyaa *Worst movie i have ever seen. I am having a mental breakdown.
I wanted her to turn into Katniss and start killing everyone!! They were so annoying! They were literally making me so mad lol. First of all the lady breaks the crystal when told not to touch it. Second, the lady who takes away the phone when she tries to call 911 had me so mad! Then, the people who BROKE the sink cabinet 😂😂😂. Once she grabbed the glass and started stabbing everyone I was like YASSSS!
Nicolas Gonzalez 😆 yooo I was just watching this morning and the couple who kept hopping on the sink, I wanted to kill them
Them touching the ornament refers to Adam and Eve picking the forbidden fruit despite being told not to- the original sin.
Im so mad when they kill her baby
My mind will explode,i just watched this retarded film... I wanted to kill them all... 😏😏😏😏😏
Same
i just realized that those two sons that entered the house. after the first couple (adam and eve), were representing Cain and Able.
I love seeing people complain who have no idea what they're talking about. Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, and Michelle Pfeiffer in a FUCKING DARREN ARONOFSKY MOVIE IS SO GOD DAMN HYPE I CANT EVEN!!
Drew Q)! Take out The Lawrence and I'm with ya
Jennifer Lawrence is a great actor. She gets shit on by people all the time because everyone wants to be too cool to like her. She is legitimately a very talented actress though. Granted I think some people overhype her but there are people who do that with every actor. I think she deserves some slack and I am excited for her role in this movie.
afro who?
ha ha ha I was reading these comment and trailer is finished
Lol Aronofsky*
*This movie was a total mindfuck on all different levels*
It is a great film and it is nice to see there are brave filmmakers out there pushing boundaries instead of giving us the same nonsense.
Agree. It started off normal. Until they start entering the house to use the bathroom and it went cluster fuck crazy from there.
Ok. So the explanation is that "mother" is Mother Earth/Mother Nature and her husband is God. You can go from there. I made a comment about the movie explanation you can look for it in the comments here for a full explanation on it. Seriously, it's not a mindfuck. 😂
Vitalstatistix Stats I'm speechless...
MrZenderOne The wife represents Mother Earth. You can find my movie explanation in the comments here. Keep scrolling and you'll find it.
This film was amazing. Most people will say "it was so broing", but those are the same people who call jump scare-movies 'horror' such as Lights Out (I never knew a loud noise was considered horror, lol). This film is original, scary and stylistic. Jennifer Lawrence deserves another Oscar for her performance in this. It is genuinely unnerving and creates horror by putting its audience in uncomfortable situations. 10/10 from me!
joel easton what movie was you looking at? Cause the movie I saw sucked
her performance at the end gave me goosebumps , if she doesnt get oscar for this, its rigged
Her performance was bland as fuck. The movie was absolutely amazing though.
The vulnerability and pain in her performance was absolutely heartbreaking. Razzie nomination was definitely undeserved!
Spaghettiio Assassin Just because it's a more subtle performance doesn't make it bad. The whole point of her character is to be soft spoken and submissive while people cause destruction which she can do nothing about.
This movie emotionally, physically, and mentally scarred me for life tee hee
@Charis Shin I don’t know how to explain it because it’s not like scary wise it’s more like suspense and a disturbing feeling In your stomach type of thing and some parts are disgusting
@Charis Shin OMG literally I reconsidered watching it too but I was already too deep in the movie 😭😭
Once you realize that it’s about bible everything starts to make sense
John Quinn sorry
The first couple represent Adam and Eve they disobeyed and broke that cristal
Their son killed his brother (Abel and Cain) and that was the first crime of humanity .. in that same spot the earth is still bleeding
The girl builed the house from aches just like the earth build itself beautifully after the cataclism of dinosaurs and all that hard work is destroyed by us by people
When she prepared dinner and the people started to come in she tried to kick them out but the poet(God) told them that its their home...wow...the more i think the more i discover metaphors....it s just a piece of art
and their baby was a Jesus so Jennifer Lawrence's character can be also seen as a Mother Mary and Javier as a God and all these people as a humanity - that's why they killed the baby and ate him just how it was in the Bible
Yea your right religion is the cause of all the shit on Earth .
Let it go then everyone would get along
bitch what the fuck are you talking about lmao
why would you assume that I am a Catholic or Christian in general?
What the fuck.... i am mind fucked now 100%
It's just a piece of shit 🖕🏻
I totally feel for Jennifer's character in this film. I just got out of an engagement because they never appreciated anything I did and the people they were surrounded with just brought chaos and destroyed Everything. It was heartbreaking to hear her say some of the exact words I said. It was like watching myself on screen. I hope she gets an Oscar nod for realism.
I loved this movie so much and it had such a beautiful but sad meaning behind it…don’t understand why people hated it
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Absolutely phenomenal and completely unforgettable.
you need to tone down the adverbs
Scott K I don't think I used enough to describe this masterpiece..
there is nothing good about adverbs. nothing.
Scott K Well I didn't think just putting a thumbs up emoji would do this movie justice..
Can still compliment a movie without adverbs. In fact, those are the best kind of compliments.
This was the only movie that made me feel sick and dizzy especially the book signing scene. A complete mindfuck but after watching it, youll get the message or the theme of it all. One of the most memorable and gut twisting movies i have watched.
I really enjoyed this movie. I think the problem is that the trailer makes it seem like a straightforward triller film when it's really more of a surreal Arthouse sort of thing, it's a bit misleading and I can understand some peoples disappointment.
Jennifer Lawrence's performance is amazing! If you see this film I recommend you don't try and analyse or interpret- just watch it using only your senses and emotions.
You really have to be prepared for this movie, otherwise you will just think "WTF am I watching here?!"
It is a metapher and when you keep that in mind through the movie, everything makes sense.
The mansion: house of god
Location: Eden
God: the Husband
Virgin Mary: the wife (Jen Lawrence)
Their baby: Jesus (sacrificed by fanatics)
First couple: Adam and Eve
First couple's sons: Abel and Cain
After god banished Adam and Eve for shattering the crystal (the forbidden fruit), humanity turned feral, primitive, barbaric and vicious. The final attack on the house showed the many different faces of humanity. Some turned cultist, others made wars with each other etc.
Jennifer Lawrence was meant to be Mother Nature but close
big strong daddy dude I couldn’t agree more. Everyone on here is saying this movie was a masterpiece!? I thought it was god awful.
the tapping sounds are freaking me the FREAK out. HOLY GUACAMOLE.
this movie was truly one of the greatest films i have ever seen, and i do not hand that title out to just any film i come across. it played with my emotions like a child with a violent behavioral disorder and threw me into such an anxiety-inducing atmosphere that i truly had no idea what to do with myself by the end of it. i have never come across such a dividing film in my entire life (other than The Last Jedi when that came out) and i just know this will become a cult classic that people will talk about for YEARS.
Cant believed i watch this on my senior year and shared it to some of my classmates ... A master piece i would say
This is the dumbest movie ever made😂
This movie has been one of the most challenging experiences I've ever had.
then you're mentally challenged.
Adeptus Astartes Your simple mind can stay like that, champ. Not all people can appreciate art.
was gonna say . challenged is what they call retards .. you beat me to it lol
The last hour and ten minutes of the movie, you'll be saying "What in the living fuck is going happening?!?!"
LMAO wkwkwkwk
Matt too bad they casted Jennifer Lawrence, that was a big mistake
It’s always a scary moment when all I’m doing is wondering what is going happening
The movie is about bible, but its very boring
Yes, georgew123, one never knows when the grammar police will catch up with one while one is in the constant throes of wondering what is "going happening."
I cried a lot after watching the movie , small things killing us and make our beloved suffering just because we run after our dreams, ego, success regardless of the pain that might happen to them . Wasn't easy for me to watch it I felt insecure and anxious so sorrow but that's the truth of life, great film!
Яреб В this is not what this movie was about. Its about people ruining mother earth intruding it the man was playing God giving the earth to his people she gave birth to their sun and people killed his son just like the bible also cain and abel kolled hos brother its a lot of biblocal references. We destroy earth we destroy everything God gave us.
this is your opinion or view of point , don't get too serious it's bad for you !
Яреб В Nah that's the meaning. Period.
Think4yourself it's open to interpretation. You may have one view, other people may have another. One thing that makes this film great is that it has so many different meanings, even if they were unintentional by Darren aronkfsky.
Possibly the worst movie of all time. Don't overanalyze it you guys.
This movie made me angry as fuck, I've never known a movie to affect me the way this one did. Horrifying, but absolutely brilliant at the same time.
This movie should have been called Get Out
“get out!”
Yeaas
Yeah but Jordan Peele took it :/
agreed
You mean "Intruder"
last 30 min of the movie is my worst nightmare !!
tony mathew It's too grim
Amiyah Hubbard fuck u ..,y r u making spoiler ...seriously u need to get a life...

It really upset as I’m 12 years old and I see people kill a baby and eat it
I'm proud of Jennifer Lawrence. She has broaden her range of movies and has made a name for herself.
She was great in this. Very impressed.
Because she sleeps with the director?
Vestlandsguten they ALL do ! Hollyweird
Harvey Weinstein slut,nothing more
ii gogi "hacked nudes" Hollywood slave
I watched this film alone in the theater. I had tears in my eyes at the end. Truly an outstanding, meaningful film and an outstanding performance by Jennifer.
This director is either fucking brilliant or needs help. I still can't decide..but Jennifer Lawrence definitely needs an oscar for this disturbingly well done performance!
kiss my axe Hope she gets nominated atleast
kiss my axe I think the director had a great message.
kiss my axe she got nominated for worst actress
she is nomminated for razzie for worst actress lol
Its ''then'' you fucking inbred.
This is a great depiction of a narcissist and their victims. Put you through a living hell, take everything and come back for more. Then they start over with another new ‘supply’. Anyone who has suffered from narcissistic abuse can totally relate to this movie.
I personnally think people that are still arguing about her acting abilities today are simply haters and will never be convinced anyway. Lawrence proved her talents as an actress years ago. First in winter's bone when she delivered a stellar performance. And she confirmed in American Hustle which in my opinion is her most spectacular performance to date even though it was a supporting role. She simply has nothing to prove to anyone now.
Zeldasergou really don't understand why got nominated for worst actress at the razzie awards for this 😭
I think she did an amazing job in Red Sparrow.
Zeldasergou this was honestly the only movie I thought she was good in lol
jennifer lawrence represents as the mother (Mother nature) which is bound to protect the earth which is their home from people who tries to barged in and ruin it
jennifer's husband represents as God which in the movie he is nice and hospitable to strangers that represents the people on earth even if theyre trying to ruin it
and the visitors/strangers represents the people on earth
the first two guests represents adam and eve and there two sons represents cain and abel
the room that the husband forbids and the glass stuff that the husband forbid from touching which the visitors touch represents the apple that God forbid adam and eve from eating which technically they ate
this movie is creative and a whole masterpiece
One of the best movies ever but also one of the most underrated. Our society is too ignorant to appreciate such a masterpiece. It's not about enjoying it, or about agreeing with the message, but about how truly well done it is made and how powerful and raw is Aronofsky's message. No other film has ever made my heart race as if I myself was in danger.
M M the people don't the movies that have a real message of the reality of our life - this movie is amazing and underrated as f \ it's one of my top 10 movies of all time WHAT A MASTERPIECE
This was by far the most fucked up movie I have ever seen. It's what made the movie a masterpiece because literally no matter what way you interpret it, it leads back to how horrible humans are
Sure, humans are horrible. But I think the film deals with how some are able to give and express love for another,
while others thrive on the love they receive, but are unable to give it back to the person who gave it to them.
You're either a spring from which water flows, or you're a washcloth that dries up the water.
Neither of them are necessarily bad. People are just different.
Real shit!
Steven Orosz this movie is the most fucked up movie and worst movie I watched but it wouldn't of been that bad if they changes the ending part to it
We are doomed :-(
FOR EVERYONE CRITICIZING THE AGE GAP!
Darren Aronofsky wrote this character with Jennifer Lawrence in mind and specifically wanted Javier Bardem because of his intimidating nature.
The age gap has a purpose for the plot, that's what the Director himself said.
Lala pop of course he did, bc he's dating her and he's old af. That is him exercising his fantasies.
Who cares
Dudebro13454 Bro Well, she's 26 and far from being underaged. So the way I see it, there is no fucking reason at all people should be making such a huge ass deal about it in the first place.
Dudebro13454 Bro are you still in high school to judge the relationship of two adults?
Since when has it become your business to say that two clearly mature adults who love each other, is inappropriate?
how do you know they love each other? and he just said gross. Nothing about being inappropriate. Relax.
Just watched this and let me tell you... I went from "wtf" to "omg" so many times , I had to read the reviews to realise what the real meaning was... this film is as remarkable as the actors staring in it. 10/10 !
