Antifa?

Note: If you plan on seeing the movie (heaven forbid), please note that there are SPOILERS in the following story
Modern art has come to a bizarre stage: anything, literally anything, can be justified for the sake of it. When a film, that reviewers claim is based on biblical allegory, showcases graphic cannibalism and torture porn, you can bet the liberal media will cheer.
Mother!, a film starring Jennifer Lawrence (yes, that one, the one that said Mother Nature’s rage was coming for Trump), is outraging normal audiences everywhere, and even triggering the feminists, with its gore and bizarre references to God’s relationship to nature. According to PopSugar, the film is supposed to be “a conservationist’s plea to the scum of the human race” as well as a “retelling of the Bible.”
The husband to Jennifer Lawrence’s titular character is apparently a “physical manifestation of God,” while Lawrence is actually “Mother Nature.” The uninvited guests are Adam and Eve, the arguing brothers are Cain and Abel, and the mother’s baby is Jesus Christ. God, in the character of the husband, steals the baby from the mother and delivers it to the mob outside. Yep, this “surrealist art” is basically mocking the Bible, Catholic theology, and anything else remotely Christian.
Marie Claire’s Esther Zuckerman expressed her horror in the scene where the God figure gives the baby to the mob, “Mother pushes through the bodies, only to find the infant gutted and the people munching on its flesh.” Then, in the apocalyptic fiery aftermath, she burns down the world, rips out her heart, and gives it to the God figure. Somehow, this review blamed the horror within on “male egotism,” since apparently the mother’s perspective wasn’t relevant in the end. Whatever floats your boat, feminists, although I think the right phrase you were looking for was “human depravity.”
Its ironic, and makes sense, that somehow, the writer and director of this film managed to work climate change (allegorically, of course) into the plot. Is it art? Doubtful.
Let the viewer beware. It’s also spattered in blood. In the end, the God character is carrying the “charred body” of the mother, and when she rips out her heart, well. It looks almost exactly like what would happen if someone did rip out their heart. Oh, and the poster displays all you need to know about the gore.
Sounds like a winner.
Reminds me of the film Noah starring Russell Crowe from about five years ago. Noah was an environmentalist who wanted to save the earth for the animals, not the people who might survive the flood. He tried to get his family to agree to a suicide pact when they were still on the ark. When his daughter in law, played by Emma Watson, gave birth to twin girls on the ark, Noah chased her around with a knife demanding she turn the babies over to him so he could kill them. People bad, animals good. No this wasn’t in Genesis at all.
More pagan than “Biblical”.
And I remember how the Passion was pillared as being to violent.
I remember BASIC. Work in the IT field now. “Grew up” on RPG and CL, now that’s considered ancient.
So is that scene in this movie remake? I haven’t heard anything about it yet, granted I don’t have cable so am a little cut off from the conversation. A friend really wants to go, and I’m not opposed to a good scary movie, but hate deprivation.
No, this scene is terrible. It’s scary, it’s disturbing, it’s nightmarish.
What is really the sacrilege here is that the movie tells the story of Jesus being the child of God and Mother Nature. Not Mary.
So when the story clearly says that “This baby is God’s only son, Jesus” it can get people in an uproar.
For me, I’m just glad that people are still thinking Jesus and his passion. It’s not right, but then “Right” has been hotly contested for more than a thousand years.
“As expected, the “relax, it’s only a movie” chorus chimes in. While you personally may not be that fragile, however, you do seem to lack the critical reasoning skills to understand the consequences upon a society inundated with this types of recklessness. Just staggering.”
Thanks for the analysis. Who’s better than you ?
No one !

Oh you misunderstood me, or rather I didn’t make myself clear. I meant is the 11 year old orgy scene in IT in this newest version of the story. Sorry.
“Mother” is a cutesy name though.
Communisn says sell vulgar trash as art.
Probably avoid Jennifer Lawrence movies now, knowing she likes disgusting trash.
Noah was made by the same man who made Mother!. In Noah he said he wanted to make the “least Biblical Bible movie”.
You couldn’t pay me to watch it! Sounds ghastly!
Liberals have ‘progressed’ to eating the babies they abort??
See how far we’ve come. I remember when the critics were screaming about the sadism in DR NO.
Then when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant, all hell broke lose as the MSM went on an anti-violence on TV rampage, but gave the movie industry a pass because they said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system.
With the Hays Code dead, Hollywood started turning out some of the most vile movies ever made hoping to achieve the coveted “R” and “X” (now NR).
Remember some of the old exploitation films that said on the movie posters...”SO BOLD IT IS RATED XXX!!!” The cars going into the Drive-In theater would be around the block for a mile.
Antifa?
Why would I ever pay to see Jennifer Lawrence?
We’ve all seen her quivering pink butt hole already. What else is there?
Oh, no. It wasn’t in the older movie either.
This is only in the book. When the movie people looked at it they realized they obviously would do no such thing.
But Stephen King just said that “It was a different time, and (I) wouldn’t write that now”
If kids having sex is part of the story, so be it. But his descriptions and parlay reeks of pedophile.
A must see.
Jennifer Lawrence will probably get an Academy Award for this because Hollywood is all about producing and promoting garbage.
Also, her boyfriend is ugly.
In short, I’m not a fan.
