In Mother!, a young woman lives with her husband in a secluded house. Their peaceful life is turned upside down when strangers arrive, and chaos ensues. As the events unfold, the house becomes a symbol of destruction, and the young woman becomes the central figure in a terrifying unraveling of events. The movie is an allegory about creation, destruction, and the price of fame.
A popular fan theory suggests that the house in the film symbolizes Earth, and Jennifer Lawrence’s character represents Mother Nature. The strangers who invade the home could be humanity’s destructive tendencies. What if the strangers never came to the house? Would the young woman have been able to live peacefully with her husband, or is chaos an inevitable part of their relationship?
One key moment is when the young woman gives birth, which symbolizes the beginning of everything, but also leads to an uncontrollable spiral of events.
Imagine an alternate ending where the strangers leave, and the young woman and her husband find peace. Or a prequel showing how the house and its curse began, explaining the strange, violent cycle that never seems to end.
