This is about as easy to digest as cast iron, but god damn, it's so well made. Great job, dude.
Yeah idk what hell he's talking about.
Serious comment: I really want more of these openly philosophical movies to have recognition. Flimmakers shouldn't be afraid to get creative and show something bold and original.
well Americans trashed this movie.
Lawrence is completely shut out of awards season.
I agree. If you enjoyed mother you should also checkout pi.
Too bad this movie went largely under appreciated
Isn’t this the exact opposite of “original “
@@dajiyahmcae1880 Although the parable or allegory is not original, the POV is! How wholly original to personify mother earth into a living, breathing, and suffering being with subtle human emotions reacting to the creator or God and his obsession with his creations and mankind.
This POV begs the question, for example, "if your mother was the earth, would you treat her any different?" Questions like these and the personification of mother nature proposes a series of thought that would have been harder to conceive within modern audiences.
This channel is so undersubbed
its not
Listen, I don't know what the fuck you just said, but, I enjoyed it.
same
Same

this dude is definitely getting A's in English
Zac H for knowing how to bullshit?....i guess
ThoughtGaze then don’t watch the channel
I went to school with him. He did.
That would be history, religious studies or more likely philosophy not English but certainly his English studies wouldn't be lacking.
Yes I'm familiar with play-doh
you lost me at hello
I want MisterAmazing to be my teacher
he is 16
Berserk Yeah..
Me too
P L A T O W A V E
Nightshade Please make this a thing.
How could this possibly exist
Rick and Morty fan IQ’s aren’t as high as mister amazing fan IQ’s
1:00 Aristotle was more so the teacher to Plato though. And Aristotle didnt even teach. He just talked and Plato coincidentally was the one that wrote down and was inspired by Aristotle. Unless I was somehow miss informed at one point.
I watch your videos about five times a piece. Three times to take in and fully understand everything in the video. And then twice more because I love them
I know that you enjoy you faster style of pacing but for topics as complicated as this it might be easier for some of the slower people in the audience like me if you slowed down
Slow the video down ❤
Now I get it......
I don't get it
St0rmFlake it’s spoken with quick cuts behind it, smooth voice and calming music. But the text by itself isn’t wholly logical and jumps in and out of different theologies so fast you become dazed. It’s bad writing
One could almost say you know you don't know, therefore you know ;)
I really love this analysis.
Of course I saw a lot of Abrahamic Parallels. The man hangs out with the creator, he is next seen naked and sick with a cut on his back where a rib was removed. The next morning his wife arrives. The sons are clearly Kane and Abel. The creator punishes lane with a mark.
And, of course, mother Mary giving birth to her son who is ripped apart by the world and then she has told by God that she must forgive.
But, your points on the demiurge are undeniable. Even outside of Nastik teachings, the apocryphal book, the book of Judas, has Jesus saying that his God is not the God they are praying too they are praying to the creator (demiurge).
Not necessarily the platonic demiurge but, it is insinuated, the gnostic demiurge whom is not all about love, but can be malevolent.
This is very well done. I appreciate this as someone that has the some esoteric books including the Gnostic Gospel. There's so much symbolism to break down, and you can see where later traditions took their ideas (and what ideas they choose to omit.) Maybe enough time has passed where we get a chance at another cycle of exploration.
Do people at school pay you to do projects for them?
I think the real question should be is CAN people at school pay him to do projects for them
Probably the best film i've seen this year. A future cult classic.
Seanh2k11 haha this is probably the most polarizing film this year
AGREED.
Seanh2k11 over Logan?
Darryl Most definitely. Logan is the best Marvel movie but that's not saying much. Best movie of this year undoubtedly is Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri
DirtyDinner24 well the best flim of all time is citizen kane :)
Very intriguing, Mr. Amazing.
cheers.
dude. this is the most insightful interpretation I've seen, I adored this movie but you've made me love it even more.
Me too
Great content. Great Editing.
how was this ever a cringe comp channel with someone this intellectual
wonderful life
Intellectuals need to destract themselves from their own minds sometimes.
so glad I subscribed to you.
This was such an amazing film, it turned from an isolated home invasion thriller to a full exploration of biblical happenings but in a lifelike manner, it's really weird looking back on it and thinking that at the beginning of the film she was just a normal wife and then at the end she gave up her heart, and that she understood the whole celestial concept of there life the whole way through the film. - sorry that was a babble, had to get that out to process it haha
How you don’t have more subs is beyond me. This was soooooooo informative and interesting. Bravo!
I’m like 30 seconds in and subscribed. Amazing organization and editing 😍😍
Absolutely love your editing. It’s so freaking good. Your name fits.. you amaze me.
Man your content keep getting better. Keep up the great work!
Your editing is off the charts, very professional and very eye catching
I love you and your editing, keep up the good work!
Thank you for your devotion to making amazingly beautiful and intricate videos that shows other youtubers what good content is
Extremely under appreciated TH-cam channel. Possibly one the best channels currently still uploading. Unfortunately this video went entirely over my head.
Wow, Thought provoking. I might have to go see this move now. Keep up the good work MisterAmazing
Once again, another amazing work MisterAmazing 👏
From an old channel that used to do cringe compilations to this, I've really enjoyed watching your channel evolve. Great vid!
I don't want to spoiled myself... but the first 30 seconds of the video with the good catchy argumment, the extraordinary edition work and the tasteful sound of Tycho... Man I was desperate to watch the film before, but now i have to watch it in orther to watch also desperatelly your anallysis on it.
I love the way you edit.
Ayy, I'm in the end slate! Fantastic video man. I need to go see this movie now.
@MisterAmazing
I love your analysis, and often rewatch videos multiple times. I would really like to see some of your sources and read more on them, in particular the exact files or essays ..etc you use.
Thank you for the these high quality videos !!!
Haha I literally just watched this leaving church and I think I learned more from this than the hour I spent in Sunday school
amazing intro
Wow that was great. I really enjoyed this film and am still sort of confused so these types of videos are great. This is really cool stuff I had never heard of though. Thanks! :)
Such an underrated channel seriously
Subbed. Notifications on. This video/explanation of mother! is awesome, AND I love me some good ol' fashion cringe vids. Your editing is fantastic too. I feel like I stumbled on to a gem of a channel.
Mr. Amazing, that was amazing. Regards, Goat from Ruthless Reviews.
Holy shit I just discovered your channel today and you are so good at editing and design.
You didn't ask me to subscribe but I did. Great analysis!
read the Nag Hammadi Scriptures. Gospel of Thomas esp.
Your editing alone is worth watching
Damn, this is really interesting.
Is it weird that 1:10 made me think of Saint-Laurent?
As in, the guy who makes glitchy vaporwavey videos.
Best and most satisfying analysis on this movie yet.
Wow! You're like a Scholar! Excellent job.
Once again, beautiful man :)
I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago and I must say, this is a brilliant interpretation of the movie.
mother! seems like an updated version of the kind of Biblical allegory Begotten tried to tell.
Interesting video. Wish this was longer with more examples for each idea.
What happens when deciphering a puzzle becomes naval gazing?
Watch this video again for a perfect example.
Youve possibly nailed it as closer to its original intentions than any other analysis on TH-cam under 10 minutes. While inside the house, I had the impression the world inside the house; the mind (temple) with the sensed events emanating from the powers of the TREE of LIFE, Which she her self is navigating within, unable to transcend the illusion and succumbing to the Demiurge. Without the harmonic balance in her world, her "Otherhalf" creates with dis-harmonies as well. She is Creation, given over to the Mind; Him, that over time manifests a vast separation of heart and mind that ends in the realization of her spirit, always to reincarnate until she can transcend, in a new body. The clues around the house that her house is her Temple;her body, the world...
A magical explanation of a film I naturally loved. Thank You.
Goddamn I got to read up on gnosticism again.
* trump's voice *
WRONG
Bravo, i just watched this and wanted to see if anyone saw this how I did. You nailed this analysis
gotta revive my memories of learning about esoteric mysticism
Excellent video
I miss your cringe compilations, but I'm fascinated at how you can delve into a plethora of different cultural and historical topics and intelligently break it down. Keep up the good work.
Excellent. And you mention Marcion! Yes!
This is the kind of content I want to see follow films. Not reviews where they measure films to the same tired old criteria (which, by the way, totally fails with films like mother!) but investigations and returns that build upon the material. That's what great successive art is: Chaucer influenced Shakespeare, Shakespeare influenced Melville, Melville influenced Conrad, Conrad influenced McCarthy, and on and on forever, not in a climb for perfection but a simple continuum. Thanks MisterAmazing, you're really living up to your name.
The most evocative symbolism of the film for me involved Aronofsky wallowing in the ordure of his own pretentiousness for two hours.
this film had way more to it than i thought
I love your editing Aesthetic I actually wanna make videos like yours
Most sensible interpretation I’ve found thus far
You need a podcast. You sound like Aaron Mahnke from Lore and I can’t get enough. Or wait...Aaron is that you?
My head can't download this information
I'm not high enough for this shit on a weekend morning.
I think you made a good decision making this type of content.
“In an attempt to get sex out of him, he draws close to her to get sex out of her”????????? The music and editing deluded me this is written badly
You didn't try to get sex out of this video
you gave Mother! a 10 but DAMN. a 7?!?
lol wrong channel wrong channel
who gave DAMN A SEVEN??
The ideas of the gnostics have not been forgotten- as stated in this video - but have been thoroughly contested and subdued by st. Paul - as he urges the people of asia minor and the early church to be watchful: "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit" in colossians 2:8. Keep in mind that when you are watching these videos, they are often full of superficial glib and not really portraying things as they are, lacking context or shifting emphasis in favor of an arbitrary position; thus merely substantiating the perspective of "mr. amazing" to generate views.
There appears to be a contradiction in this video's argument for a reading of Him as a stand-in for the Demiurge:
Interpreting him as the Bythos or the Christian God is incoherent with the actual nature of either entities. I'd agree--both transcend all limits (or embody necessary limits like logic). Earlier in your video, however, you present a conception of the Bythos that appears to limit its nature and creative abilities by evoking the Ennoia as the complement to Bythos. Wouldn't that relationship limit the Bythos? It seems to require the assistance of something *independent* of itself to create.
I'm not familiar with Valentinus, but my knowledge of other neoplatonist and Plato himself suggests that they would reject this worldview. For them, the fundamental form must be indivisible and entirely self-sufficient.
This isn't to say I'm not sympathetic to the gnostic reading of the film. It's compelling enough. I just think the ancient Hebrew conceptions of female Wisdom as a partner in creation with God (see Proverbs 1-9 for more elaboration) captures the film's presentation better.
And I thought physical science was complicated. Fortunately, physical science makes actual sense.
I can't believe I just saw this maybe for the 1st time last night never even heard of it before
I should actually watch this movie. This is the kind of stuff that's up my alley.
I have an interest in theology and platonistic gnosticism should be in my opinion known by Christians since this is the very first heresy Paul adresses in his letters. Your videos are very diverse and intersting. keep it up bro !
This video has nice editing.
Bardem is definitely the demiurge in this film. He’s psychotic and narcissistic but believes he’s just a good ol’ loving guy. Nothing is super subtle here and we’re continually battered with the gnostic allegory.
I have no idea what you just said but great video ngl
Your talent level is off the fucking charts holy shit
That was lit. Thank you.
I feel like you should make a speed edit..
You worked so hard on this video to over-explain Aronofsky's film, when he comes right out and explains it last week, disproving your theories. It is exactly what it meant to be.
I mean regardless of what Aronofsky said, there are clear gnostic parallels. there are images of the Sophia from the medieval German gnostic group known as the Rosicrucians that clearly depict the Sophia with her heart in her hand: i.pinimg.com/736x/41/99/ab/4199abc9b8c23f4eeb8a2538cfd69bf0--ancient-symbols-medieval-art.jpg. If that's not a direct reference to Gnosticism, I don't know what is.
Also specifically the song oh Ana by mother mother
misteramazing you missed the fact that the two women of the end times are part of this .
I need further explanations, But it was good. Keep it up
Aronofsky reminds me to the typcial kid at school who wants to do a perfect work, introducing a lot of smart symbolls on his exam, but finally he do a messy and boring thing with nonsenses.
Pi was legitimately great.
Damn man, this is pretty cool. Gnosticism is pretty weird and strange, and I love whenever it's referenced or used in fiction. I really thought this film was gonna be a boring tedious mess but maybe I should watch it now.
U should do the band mother mother, or grandson, i think it’d fit with what ur trying to do here
How the hell have I not seen this movie.
THIS guy is the only one, besides me, that "got it".
I would love to see an analysis on the film ‘High-rise’ , another cult classic which is extremely underrated.
