Jennifer Lawrence is Sophia: the Mother of the Universe and the consort from the Gnostic Christian faith.
>"Thus the aeons were completed quickly in the heavens and the firmaments in the glory of Immortal Man and Sophia, his consort: the area from which every aeon and the world and those that came afterward took (their) pattern for their creation of likenesses in the heavens of chaos and their worlds -The Sophia of Jesus Christ
In Gnostic tradition, Sophia is a feminine figure, analogous to the human soul but also simultaneously one of the feminine aspects of God.

[Sophia, our sister, came down Descending innocently So as to regain what she had lost. Therefore she was called Life. The Mother of the Living The one from the Providence of the Authority of Heaven By her assistance people can achieve perfect knowledge.]
Ryder James
Bro, "sophia" is literally the word "wisdom" in greek. None of that "life, weebo god, mother of living" shit.
Nolan Anderson
Gnostic Sophia is just another form of satan worship, in a female disguise.
Nathan Stewart
Shit movie is shit.
Adrian Roberts
That's deep man, someone should make a good movie about that.
Nathan Roberts
Or istar or asherah, yeah, read a book asshole
Samuel Campbell
This movie sounds like pretentious hipster crap
Brandon Diaz
Just post the baby cannibalism scene already
Jacob Smith
Except she's not and Arranofsky has done allusions to mother nature before.
Hell that was the entire point of Noah.
Thomas Ross
She's mother nature. She's connected to the house (earth)
Nathan Morales
Its very upfront about being symbolic and it actually aids the narrative. Just because a movie asks you to think doesn't mean its pretentious
Henry Sanders
Aronofsky, please go to bed. Jlaw's waiting for you.
Asher Ross
Big D Ass to Aronofsky man already said climate change. Shame really.
Kayden Moore

Mason Allen
>Really made me think: the movie.
Jackson Johnson
>baby disappears >now it's dead >everybody slurps red jello

Carter Hughes
>Animal Farm is now pretentious hipster shit because muh symbolism So this is why art is dying
Jack Adams
Hey, if you're interested in Gnostic tradition in modern works, check out Demon Souls.
Landon Garcia
Reminder this film is explained perfectly by this graph
Austin Young
The ideas you're describing are all founded in the same myth.
Jayden Stewart
Is this true.
I only rented the game when it was new and got my neggyhole pozzed so I never went back to it.
Luis Evans
the ultimate pseud movie
Jose Lopez
>can't even point out a flaw Reminder that shitposting is not an argument
Adrian James
Gnosticism - redpilling the unwashed masses since 100 AD
Chase Reed
>Jlaw's character is actually mother nature >Bardem is actually god >the house is actually the earth >the baby is actually jesus
really jogs the nog, you know what i'm saying
Dylan Fisher
Where should one start reading about Gnosticism?
Blake Mitchell
>Bardem smashing the brother's head into the table was marking Cain Was there a Lucifer?
Xavier Flores
It is true. The Japanese love Gnosticism in their media and it's used pretty heavily in Anime, as the conflict and symmetry of Eastern and Western thought mesh in a meaningful way to post-WWII Japanese. Demon Souls in particular is a Western genre about Western myths and writing done by a Japanese studio.
I don't want to spoil you too much, but you can ask me if you don't care.
Andrew Thomas
If it has to ask then yes it is pretentious
Isaac Miller
Check out the sources on the Wiki page. Avoid Christian websites that think that Christian Gnostics somehow still exist.
Dominic Cox
It gives you a lot to think about but personally I found it easy to ignore and enjoy strictly for the literal events of the film. And even if you passively think about the implications of what you're seeing, never once would I consider it pretentious.
Jeremiah Price
it's hard to consider it pretentious when its imagery is so on-the-nose
Cooper Wilson
Go straight to the texts themselves first. Then read the scholarship available. Avoid """real""" Christianity sponsored opinions and also avoid level 99 autistic grail wizards.
Oliver Richardson
I got a pretty Gnostic vibe from Evangelion and Lain at least.
My biggest secret is I post on Fortune.org but I'm not much of a weeb.
