MASTERPIECE : 'MOTHER!'

'MOTHER!" : A Masterpiece. So if you want a break from cheap entertainment and want an experience unlike any thing ever before, go watch it.

*There's no mild way to state this but Mother! will be like a glass in your rib.

Its imagery will provoke you. It will hold a mirror to yourself, not as a part of labelled cast, religion or culture, but as a human-

And what we are doing to  'mother earth'. It may or mayn't give you new ideas, but will effectively remind you of the ones that already exist. 

Before the massively anticipated release and after the preview screenings of Darren Arnofsky's  'mother!', it was called the most divisive and controversial film since  Stanley Kubrick's . A Clockwork Orange in 1971.

Being only one of the less-ten-twenty films to receive an 'F' by the audience on Cinemascore,   Mother! has already gained the hype that not many other films in recent memory have.

Similar to A Clockwork Orange being a cult classic, Mother! has already started to gain a modern cut following. But is it worth the hype?

Mother! revolves around a poet  {Javier Bardem} suffering from a writer's block, and his wife,  the titular mother  [Jennifer Lawrence] who live in a countryside, and whose lives are interrupted when uninvited guests crowd their house.

Anyone familiar with Aronofsky's work understands his obsession with the universe and its creation.

His last outing, Noah, which also caused controversy among religious groups, put forth an interesting take on the biblical tale.

On the other hand, Mother! deals with topics far larger than Noah. It encompasses the entire of creation and humankind's impact on earth.

It takes a true auteur like Aronofsky to engulf all the major events desribed by Christianity [and Islam] into a span of two hours. The metaphors, upon a close look, are obvious -from the creation of Adam and Eve to the Great Flood and even Christ's sacrifice.

As far as my understanding goes, says the reviewer Rahul Aijaz, the film has mainly divided the audience into two-categories :

Those who did not understand the bigger themes and were left confused, and those who thought the allegories were too obvious and made the narration predictable.
