A masterpiece that challenges the viewer!

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2018)

This film is for those who like literature over pulp. Most movies are simple action or comic entertainment. Nothing wrong there, no judgement from me, unless it's badly executed.
MOTHER is philosophical literature. It is for those who want to be challenged intellectually, morally and ethically. It is not a mindless horror flic.

******Spoiler Alert*****

What this film shows thru metaphors are the absurd, cruel and plain stupid flaws of mankind. The flaws of ego, idol worship, false religions, greed, hypocrisy etc. (it's a long list). A college course could be taught based on this film.
The house is the earth, the mother is Mother Nature in a constant struggle to overcome mankind's careless, violent, destructive, arrogant and greed driven onslaught. Mother also symbolizes all the men and women who want to do good. The husband is the corruption of Ego and the symbol of men in power abusing (often without even thinking) women and those weaker than them. He also symbolizes absurd manmade religions and cult figures who take advantage of fear, greed, ignorance, hate, etc. There are too many symbols to get into here.
In short, we are bitch slapped for our failure to appreciate our abundant environment, our horrific failure to embrace our ultimate power and only salvation, which is Unconditional Love (we just don't seem to learn). If we don't take care of Mother, Mother in all it's symbols will not take care of us. I challenge all who choose to see this film to think and make their own additional arguments and interpretations.
