Out of sorts. I blame watching <em>mother! <\/em>All I\u2019m good for is some disjointed thoughts. Nothing cohesive.<\/p>\n<p><em>mother! <\/em>made me feel high after watching. Not during. During, I felt beat. A weight on my chest. Unending tension. Once I left for some sunlight to collect my thoughts, there was this unbelievable adrenaline rush. An actual physical reaction to the film.<\/p>\n<p>A large part of me thinks that some of the motivation for <em>mother! <\/em>stems from the terrible response to director Darren Aronofsky\u2019s prior film, <em>Noah. <\/em>They say that <em>The Old Man and the Sea <\/em>was written as Hemingway\u2019s response to the critics ripping apart his novel <em>Across the River and Into the Trees<\/em>. I think there is some large marlin in the DNA of <em>mother!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Javier Bardem will never get rid of that accent.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many layers happening at all times, it\u2019s easy to let the film occupy your thoughts for hours, even days, following viewing. Deciphering is probably impossible. At least, it is for me. Leading me to the next thought.<\/p>\n<p>Watching 18 hours of\u00a0<em>Twin Peaks\u00a0<\/em>recently helped me let this film wash over me.<\/p>\n<p>This film will make you feel stupid if you let it. I\u2019m pretty sure there is no way to \u201cget\u201d all of it but it is presented in a way that seems accessible. The Meaning is right on the tip of the tongue. But I\u2019m pretty sure that not all the dots connect. It\u2019s best to allow yourself the freedom to come up with your own conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Pfeiffer burns up the screen. Frightful bitchiness.<\/p>\n<p>The cinematography is amazing! Jennifer Lawrence endures a 2 hour close up and it works wonders to get the audience into her space, her world. She\u2019s amazing!!!!<\/p>\n<p>THIS MOVIE NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE BUT HAS A SCOPE THAT RIVALS <em>2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY!!!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Aronofsky knows how to end a movie!! The final 30 minutes is unparalleled. He\u2019s done it before. The final act of <em>Black Swan <\/em>is killer as is the culmination found in <em>Requiem for a Dream. <\/em>In fact, I never thought he\u2019d surpass those last moments of <em>Requiem<\/em>. He does here.<\/p>\n<p>My 2 cents; it\u2019s about the creative process. Mostly about the creative process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/mother-doesnt-have-enough-exclamation-marks-in-the-title\/a1-659\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14968\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14968\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/a1-1-685x1024.jpg\" alt=\"a1\" width=\"685\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel a little beat up.
