Mother. It’s not that I didn’t get the allegory, it was just weird. Also Antichrist, though to be fair, saying “wtf did I just watch” was the whole point of the movie.
I didn’t get the allegory in Mother, and I didn’t really care. Totally wtf, but I loved how nightmarish it was, and how it looked visually, I was completely enthralled.
Oh yeah, I’ve read up on the explanation since, but for me it doesn’t really add anything. It doesn’t take away anything either. I think it was just so captivating I didn’t need any meaning. That probably makes me sound far more shallow than I am but hey ho.
Nah, some movies are so visually and mechanical entertaining/enthralling you just sit back and enjoy. The Fountain (2006) was a movie I just didn’t care to understand the first watch, it was just so beautiful.
I had just started dating a single mom and we saw it in the theater as she was a Jennifer Lawrence fan and I think we were probably expecting something a bit more mainstream. As the movie ended, she was in tears. “Yes…they really captured what it feels like to be a mom. It’s like they read my soul”.
I quickly learned she had…issues. But stayed in that relationship far longer than I should have because the sex was incredible. Yes, I was an idiot.

The guy was god, the gal was Earth.

I mean, if you like it, there’s nothing shallow about that, you just like it.

I actually liked mother! It wasn’t great but more than watchable and made me a Javier Bardem fan. I agree with Antichrist, it was…yeah. That.
