stepping into the Void

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2017)

What if someday I realize the true size I occupy in the earth and how my insignificant life doesn't interfere at all in this huge environment that I and my similar decided to call "our" planet? This question lingered in my head for days after I watched Mother!.
I knew Aronofsky wouldn't spare efforts to highlight human weakness, although this time I felt he went deeper, he questioned our real proposals in being alive and our extreme selfishness.
Besides the biblical theme that he brought out to maybe just create the plot, Mother! represents how is to be part of our society today, totally ignoring our real creator, the one with us and around us, which provides our food, air, and beauty.
Instead of living in communion with the Mother Nature and try to be smarter from all the knowledge we can get from her, we humanized the creator from a male figure, convincing ourselves that we are the representation of life and we can justify everything through God. Furthermore, why a male figure if we are all children of a mother? Maybe at this point the idea that women are here to breed has started.
I may have mixed up a lot of ideas here. This turmoil that comes after watching Mother! is true though. After reading more about the film, I understood the close-ups cameras and it felt like I was in the middle of that chaos. Regarding what one of the characters said to God "I felt it was written for me". Yes, it was written for us.
