As the release date for Darren
Aronofsky's upcoming horror movie 'Mother,' starring Jennifer Lawrence
is coming closer, people are getting more and more curious about what
the title and JLaw's character represent in the movie.
And it seems like we now have an answer to that question.
While premiering his new thriller at the Venice Film Festival, director
Darren Aronofksy told that Lawrence's character represents Mother
Earth, and her destruction symbolises how people treat the environment.
He said, "I think there is absolutely a connection. America is
schizophrenic. We go from backing the Paris climate [accord] to eight
months later pulling out. It's tragic, but, in many ways, we've
revealed who the enemy is and now we can go attack it."
He also noted that making Lawrence's character completely submissive
was intentional.
"It really has to do with the allegory of the film and what we're
trying to do there. If you think about Day 6 in your history and in
your bibles, you'll kind of figure out where the film starts," shared
Aronofksy.
The film also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Ed Harris, Kristen Wiig, Michelle
Pfeiffer, and Brian Gleeson in pivotal roles.
The flick is slated to hit theatres on September 15.
