Hahaha! Why am I not surprised you hate this. For what it's worth I enjoyed it. A lot. |
even more pointless thn Black Swan.
The entirety of this "Mother" film could have been done much more effectively in a 30 minute twilight zone episode. what a PIECE OF SHIT. Imagine a 2 hour movie where all you see is someone's wife taking a shit, then the shit turns to softer shit, then it becomes full on diarrhea , then it becomes just hot waste liquid rot spewing out of an asshole, and then at the end you are told, "This was all an allegory for what happens when you do not feed your wife like you feed yourself." so fucking STUPID. I wold have pissed all over the movie screen had I been forced to watch this in a theater. literally whipped out my cock and pissed all on the screen..... |
Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer are poiintless red herrings. I hate films that show hateful, shitty people, just to show us how hateful and shitty the writer/director is. fuck that noise.

I also hate shit like this. I thought Black Swan was legitimately good, but this... and Tree of Life... and *some* Lynch (Inland Empire... oh my god three hours of fucking spliced up bullshit art house fuckery) but not Lynch in general. But this.. this is not my thing. In fact, fuck this. And fuck Tree of Life. And fuck Inland Empire. Goddamn fuck it. (But yay Mullholland Drive and yay Eraserhead and yay a bunch of Lynch and I’m sad for you if you can’t get with Lynch you sad sad old bastard man) |
lolololol inland empire.
i fought so hard to stay awake when i went to see inland empire. holy shit. same thing with eraserhead, but worse—i have seen the thing, but never in full, continuously. only in fragments, because i simply *cannot* stay awake during it. just can’t. i’ll put it on and it will knock me out in less than 20’. amazing images though. prize for cinematography. but plotwise my lord zzzzzzzz. elephant man, the production trainwreck that was dune, blue velvet, wild at heart, twin peaks season 1, lost highway, mulholland drive—some of the best shit i’ve ever seen though somehow never managed to catch the straight story. |
I've had that weird thing with Mother! where I've come to like it far more since having the time to think about it a bit, about what it might have been trying to say, or do, than while I was actually watching it, when I couldn't really get a handle on it. Very good film, imo, but one that takes time to really have an affect. On me, anyway.
Beyond the obvious weirdness, I don't think it has much in common with Lynch at all. Felt to me more like a Polanski film directed by Lars Von Trier. |
oh, now i wanna restart “mother!” again ha ha ha
except it’s not on filmstruck. gotta move forward with filmstruck before it croaks in december then |
I'd be interested to know what you finally think about it, especially if you only saw the beginning. I'm still not sure what to make of its meaning. There's an obvious interpretation but I won't spoil anything - and I'm not sure if that's the right one anyway. If there even is a 'right' interpretation. All anyone can say to someone who hasn't seen it is do see it, try and keep an open mind about Aronofsky's intentions, and see where you stand a little while after watching it.

Wait wait wait... Gotta watch Eraserhead. There’s a story and it’s fucked up and will haunt your nightmares. But Blue Velvet? You struggle to stay awake during one of the best movies of the ‘80s?!!?! Nah, man. |
He wasn't saying that about Blue Velvet.
Although like you, I'm surprised he couldn't get into Eraserhead. |

I like Lynch when he is telling a story, not when he is trying to portray allegory. If I want visual allegory on film I watch Matthew Barney Cremaster series.....  |
I respect Mother! for being the kind of film that isn't afraid to upset, piss off, or disgust its audience. I get tired of every movie trying to please everyone, and that every movie these days feels like its made to please every type of movie watcher. I'm sure there are plenty who think Mother! is just meant to be shocking and upsetting for the sake of it. The more chaotic it got the more interesting it became to me.
|
And I "enjoyed" Black Swan, for what it was. MOTHER? No joy whatsoever...., just waiting to see an extended scene of the main star getting violently and sexually assaulted by a room full of nuts pawing at her nakedness. that is always needed....... :(

there is only one interpretation, and it is not an interpretation. it is purely a 2 hour long allegory of what the loved ones of a creative "genius" have to suffer. OLD story, OLD ideas, BORING AS FUCK, and plainly obvious from the initial get go. |
Cremaster, FUCK, YEAH!!

And this is coming from someone who loves Marvel films. Oy vey |

I like story. Mother had NO story, just a tediously long descent into pure allegory, heavy handed, repetitive, and needlessly cruel. Just a boring fucking movie. comparing that piece of wanna-be art TRASH to the obviously trash pulp of a marvel movie does not compute. |
I do not love the Marvel films either. Most of them are 6/10 TOPS.
The only truly awesome ones for me are the two Ant Man films, the first Avengers, the first Iron Man, and the first Captain America. They worked as pulp amazements. the others? not so much...... |

That wasn't the interpretation I was thinking of. I'm not gonna say it here because I don't wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but ... if that's what you thought it was about then yeah, it probably would come over as a bit shit, never mind utterly incoherent. No wonder you thought the Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer characters were red herrings if that's all you thought the film was about. |
