Very enjoyable once you know the story Aronofsky is telling!

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2017)

I am shocked by all the long winded reviews by people who tell us flat out that they do not understand what is going on.
I admit that I was not paying attention to the story in the beginning because I was so put off by JLaws appearance (Mother!) and how young she looks compared to her partner (Him), however this is key to the story.
I was also a bit turned off by the next two characters to appear (Man, Woman) in the movie, which is when I figured out what story Aronofsky was telling. And this was confirmed by the arrival of the next two characters (Oldest Son, Younger Brother).
For anyone who still has not figured it out ***SPOILERS***,
Aronofsky is telling a synopsis of the Christian bible. From the book of Genesis, it starts with the creation (Him + Mother (mother earth), Adam and Eve (Man and woman, and their children Cain and Abel), the flood (destruction of the house which causes Mother to be covered in water), and the progressive chaos in the world; moving into the New Testament, we see the birth of the Saviour and his subsequent death, then the apocalypse and the final destruction of creation and the rebirth of creation (with a new mother earth) as described in The Book of the Revelation.
I am sorry that so many people did not get this movie, and that just shows where we are in the world that so few recognize what is being shown to them, however that is also part of the prophecy of the bible, that people would follow false gods because they do not recognize the Truth. Once you do see it, it becomes a puzzle to solve, only deciding which parts of the bible are in the movie as you continue to watch it.
My first real clue to what was going on was the injury to Man's rib area that we see when he is in the bathroom. My suspicions were confirmed by the two brothers fighting over their inheritance, which is the classic story of Cain and Abel.
I agree that this movie is a psychological horror film to those who do not understand the underlying story.
