I didn't get the allegory in Mother, and I didn't really care. Totally wtf, but I loved how nightmarish it was, and how it looked visually, I was completely enthralled.
The guy was god, the gal was Earth.
Oh yeah, I've read up on the explanation since, but for me it doesn't really add anything. It doesn't take away anything either. I think it was just so captivating I didn't need any meaning. That probably makes me sound far more shallow than I am but hey ho.
I mean, if you like it, there's nothing shallow about that, you just like it.
Nah, some movies are so visually and mechanical entertaining/enthralling you just sit back and enjoy. The Fountain (2006) was a movie I just didn't care to understand the first watch, it was just so beautiful.
