Tried Way Too Hard!

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2018)

I first heard about Mother!, while listening to two people talk about it on a radio podcast. They were talking about how shocking and controversial the movie was; mainly, the ending. I saw it in a Red Box one day, and figured my fiancee and I would give it a whirl. I wish I hadn't. I really, really wish I hadn't...
The movie is riddled with biblical and religious overtones and themes. Each of the characters represents someone or even something in the bible. An example of this for instance, Mother is actually the Earth. You know? Like, Mother Earth? I bet the writer/director thought himself especially clever for that gem! I'm not religious---I'm an Atheist, in fact---but even I thought this fellow Atheist was too damn preachy! The movie is self indulgent and not needed. What's more: seeing people break a baby's neck and then eating it is not smart or artsy or anything. It's shock value. It's more on the lines of, "Look At Me!". I don't agree with religious aspects and such, but I also don't go out my way to impose my non-belief beliefs on people. This is what the movie is: The ultimate imposing of your right to believe in something. Someone's hatred disguised as art. To be fair, the sink was interesting. The sink was my favorite character...
