>Dude shock value baby eating lmao
into the trash it goes

Meh, i'd like to see for myself.

That hack jew can go fuck himself, he literally lifted the plot and scenes from Perfect Blue when making Black Swan.

Maybe you can if you trade in your food stamps

LOLOLOLOLOL

Sup Forums wins again! That's for insulting Trump voters you biatch

I feel like we've been over this so many times that it doesn't matter anymore

>When it comes time for Mother to finally have their baby, she and the poet retreat to his upstairs office, which is basically the Garden of Eden/Heaven. She gives birth but refuses to let the poet take the baby to the throng of onlookers downstairs. Unfortunately, as sleep deprivation gets the best of her, the poet snatches the baby from her arms and gives it to the people. The baby, in this instance, is Jesus Christ. Those familiar with the New Testament knew what was coming next—the poet gives his baby to the people, who then kill it. Mother is horrified, even moreso when the people start eating the baby while crying (i.e. consuming the body of Christ as in communion, during which we remember Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins).

>Mother gets trampled and beaten badly, almost to the point of death, before she makes her escape. The parallel here is humanity killing the planet (i.e. Mother Nature). But as we’re experiencing right now with climate change, Mother Nature fights back. Lawrence’s character screams in terror, shaking the house (i.e. Earth), before running to the basement where she lets her wrath loose in full fury. Fittingly, she chooses an oil drum as her weapon (i.e. the fossil fuel industry) and sets the entire place on fire, killing all of humanity.

>The poet, being God/creator and thus immortal, survives and carries the badly burned Mother upstairs. She protests, asking him to stop, but he carries on opening her chest and pulling out another crystal like the one Pfeiffer and Harris’ characters broke at the beginning of the movie. It’s here that the gloomy ending comes into full view, as we realize Lawrence’s Mother was simply one of many Earths that God has created. Lawrence’s Mother tells him to stop, warning that humanity will always do this—turn on its creator, itself, and of course the Earth. But he strives to create, and thus he takes the crystal to the upstairs room, places it on the mantle, and the house restores itself and a brand new Mother wakes up in the bed, fresh-eyed and unaware that she’s just the next iteration of the cycle.

well this movie sounds dumb

Oh, this doesn't sound retarded as fuck.

I think it sounds pretty neat, sure it sounds like a pretty on the nose simple metaphor, but it still sounds kinda neat, i might just go and see it.

Noah The Fountain and Reqiuem are three of the top films this century. Nobody gives a shit about this jlaw shitfest.

He literally bought the american rights and can therefore do whatever the fuck he wanted.

I kinda thought "Noah" was a Okay that Darren sort of smudging his view into whole the ark of the Noah tale. Did he take his artistic integrity even further this time or a dude just lost the touch ? Haven't checked whole thing yet, but what do you user think of it if you have seen it ???

>someone thought "yeah, that sounds good" and actually funded this trainwreck

>DUDE SAVE THE EARTH LMAO

This is so lovecraftian

I thought he pretty much outed himself as a pretentious hack with The Fountain.
Hopefully it's atleast bizarrely entertaining, like Black Swan.

wow did nolan make this

A failure of Lovecraftian proportions

>Lawrence thought her "acting" skills and being overrated would get her another Oscar nom

She might be the most overrated actress I've ever seen

>all that pretention

The biggest movie critic in America called it one of the worst movies of the century

observer.com/2017/09/darren-aronofsky-mother-worst-movie-of-the-year/

*inhales*

Only Snyder could have pulled this off

>The biggest movie critic in America

citation needed

my god that sounds fucking retarded

Ultimate pleb filter. This movie was incredible. Almost as good as The Fountain.

literally
>DUDE IT WAS JUST A METAPHORE LMAO
lovecraft my ass

It's such a shame that Aronofsky became yet another shock value hack and was unable to evolve beyind nihilistic teenager. The Fountain was sophomoric as fuck but it has genuine and sincere moments of cinematic beauty.

It's time

>Aronofsky longs to be thought of as an artiste like Polanski, so Mother! includes cynical sentiments about male indifference (far less subtly than Polanski did). But an obsessive filmmaker doesn’t necessarily rise above schlockmeister status. Aronofsky’s mania for various tribulations never finds a higher meaning, and his emphasis on female discomfort (Lawrence looks zombified, both clueless and hypersensitive) makes him the perfect filmmaker for the Hillary Clinton era. >When Woman (as the script names Lawrence’s character) apologizes for objecting to Man’s rowdy houseguests and embarks on a cleaning-up spree, she begs, “I don’t want to interrupt, I’ll get started on the apocalypse.” The line could well have come from Hillary Clinton’s recent campy memoir, What Happened.

>edgy atheists and reactionary climate change deniers both getting triggered by based Aronofsky's masterpiece

What does Armond White think of this film?

Chris Stuckmann called it one of the best films of the year and gave it an A-.

>jennifer lawrence acting like a monkey
You have shit taste. Its nowhere near the fountain

pls advise
should i run out and watch this alone tomorrow, is it worth the money?

Chris has ok taste, hes the least normie side of reddit critics

see His reviews come out every Friday man.

>sophomoric as fuck
Cringe bra

Also Darren said after Pi and Reqiuem he did everything he wanted and didn't know what to do artistically. Then he made the fountain

I enjoyed it more than Noah. The third act is batshit crazy. Kind of reminds me of the way Requiem for a Dream's third act gets crazy.

Who cares man. Its jennifer Lawrence. Hes obviously still in la la land deluded into thinking she's good.

lovecraftian trash

But seriously holy shit, when's the last time a film has ever been this decisive? There's only two people when it comes to this movie - you either completely love it. Or you hate it.

I wish Jlaw took LLL, just to get an other easy Oscar nom/win. She had time to do these both, right?

Emma Stone is shit.

You mean divisive, and people are merely opinionated.

> when your movie is so bad the reviewers go after your parents

Wow I guess they were right to cast Jlaw after all.

I usually hate people who use that term too but I can't find a better one to describe Aronofsky. This literally sounds like something a film student would find cool.

Eh....

Well at least I can fap to this snuff part of the film.

Jlaw is trash just like the frogger

MUH DICKKKKKKKKKKK

Sounds like The Fountian

Wait a fucking minute..this is just Wake in Fright with an ugly bitch instead of a kangaroo!

Noah

>wordpress
Fuck off

I thought you said the fountain was sophomoric not mother!

If they cast Jeffrey Dean Morgan this film could've been good. Or maybe it is good and critics are retards. Hmmmm wow no way maybe the faggots that love Disney are actual retards!

imagine if her nudes didn't leak
she would have been so much for a scene like this

Why does this turn me on so fucking much?
I usually can't even stand it when they slap girls in pornos, i shift-delete the video then.

Well

what the fuck is this 2deep4u shit? Has Aronofsky gone off the deep end?

Mark Kermode liked it. Plebs BTFO.

Fucking this I think Javier Bardem is overrated as fuck. I mean he is a good actor I recognize that, but in this he's just wrong,

yes, shadilay brother quick say the words and send energy!!!!

>If you’ve seen the movie you know that, after the “flood” (i.e. the breaking of the sink), Lawrence’s character gets pregnant and she and the poet have been living a peaceful existence since the banishment of the “intruders”. But once the poet finishes his new poem, a horde of strangers come barging in, lavishing the poet with praise and acclaim. The poet’s new poem here is analogous to the New Testament of the Bible, and mother! then quickly runs through a “greatest hits” of humanity’s existence, focusing mainly on war, violence, and the creation of religion.

When did Aronofsky become an edgy Gnostic though

>when's the last time a film has ever been this decisive?
Every Malick film since 2000
Batman V Superman
Every Von Trier film
Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon
Spring Breakers
King Arthur
Silence
Okja

Have you been living under a rock?

DUDE REAPERS LMAO

holy shit, she finally did it
Does this mean she'll show her knockers in Red Sparrow too?

Literally the ending to a certain literary hack's "major literary series"

Hint: rhymes with bark power

>Every Malick film since 2000
But everyone loved tree of life you child of Sup Forums

>the considerable amount of people that don't agree with me don't really exist
christ you sound like an insufferable faggot

>Sup Forums finally gets ahold of Jlaw.webm

Everyone liked Silence and Okja as well

This is very interesting, child of Sup Forums

>God stealing his own song from Mary to give to the people except it's not really the mother of God, it's actually Mother Earth and also there's millions of them and Jesus is born and dies in all of them because humanity will always turn on its creator except its creator isn't God it's Mother Earth but its creator is still God
fascinating

Kino of the year.

No, but Jennifer "I like to smear myself with and eat shit because I'm a degenerate scat whore" Lawrence is fucking finished.

>it's a "Sup Forums pretends to hate aronovsky because they don't like JLaw" episode
The movie is pure Sup Forums, and everyone who hates it a) hasent seen it or b) is reddit

The Fountain is literally a kino masterpiece, you Redditor brainlet.

Sounds like Hollywood set her up to take this role, promising awards but it was actually to get back at her for being a bitch.

The untimely death of Satoshi Kon means he doesn't have any new material to plagiarise.

HE WHAT!?!?!

Aronofsky is legit the biggest hack in Hollywood. The moral messages of his films are always so incredibly basic bitch, but he manages to mask it with pretty visuals. Seems like his mask has fallen off this time though lol

>DUDE HE BOUGHT THE RIGHTS HE LEGALLY CAN BE A HACK FRAUD SO IT'S A-OK

KILL
YOUR
SELF

I'll choose pretty visuals over most original message possible in my movies any day

fagglets who cover everything up with subtlety are the biggest pretentious wankers. Tarkovsky and Godard were the biggest offenders in that regard.
Aronofsky just like Jodorowski shoves his themes into your face with symbolism even a Redditard such as yourself could understand and that elevates him from all the other pseudo-intellectual tryhard turds in the industry.
Snyder and him are literally KINOrectors whereas the rest are just flick shitters.

I finally watched Requiem for a Dream last week and it felt really manipulative and melodramatic. Maybe I watched it too late but it didn't affect me besides the mom. Aronofsky is just a hack in my eyes.

>Who needs good writing, dialogue, acting, or story when you have pretty images

Jeffrey would feed Javier to his dog and laugh about it.

That's not what i said and meant. Some try hard philosophy attempt doesn't automatically make story, dialogues and acting good btw

nypress.com/black-sheep-vs-black-swan

Stick with marvel

...

You think Based Armond has a big cock?

Emma is cute at least

>watching cartoons
You should kill yourself for being so buttflustered pleb

You heard me, he bought the rights he can make whatever the fuck he wanted. Cartoon fag.

KEK

>implying Hacknofsky is above capeshit
Stick to reddit kid

Kristen Wiig is also in this. Is plays The Herald.
