mother! is an allegory about God and the Earth. Javier Bardem’s character, whom I’ll refer to as The Poet, is God, and Jennifer Lawrence’s character, whom I’ll refer to as The Mother, is Mother Earth, with the house standing in for the environment. From there, the story attempts to be a biblical allegoryof both the Old and New Testament as well as ...
Then the couple’s sons (Brian andDomhnall Gleeson) come along, arguing about their dying father’s will. In their argument, one brother kills the other (Cain and Abel). The parents and the poet carry the dead brother out of the house, and the surviving brother runs away. The poet and the parents then return later that night for a wake, and more and ...
At this point, the story is kind of leaving the biblical text behind and moving more into the historical record. The New Testament element is that the Mother’s child is a Christ figure.

To be fair, not everything in the film is a one-to-one ratio, and not everything, especially in the second half, lines up with the biblical text or the entire course of human history. Does Ed Harris’s character as a doctor mean anything? Perhaps, but I’m not sure what. Why do all the war and chaos precede the birth of the messiah figure rather than...
I’ve also heard a few other readings of the film, but I don’t think they account for the entire picture. One reading sees mother! as a story about creation, looking at the Poet as a stand-in for all artists and the double-edged sword about the need to create and the destruction that a work can wreak when it's released to the public. While I think A...

Sep 15, 2017 · Darren Aronofsky's "mother!" is a bizarre and audacious movie that explores gender roles, artistic creation, and the male ego. It starts as a simple thriller and becomes a mind-bending nightmare with no easy answers.
