Post 1 - Writing for your future

First of all I want to remember that I study journalism and not cinema, but the seventh art has always been one of the things I love the most. I also think that there is not much difference between the two, but I chose journalism because I consider it much more assumed as a political instrument, although the film is also.

This is why in this blog I will have the luxury of talking about a movie I saw a few days ago: Mother! by Darren Aronofsky. This movie, released three weeks ago, is about a couple that lives in a house in the outside of the city. He is a poet and she does not seem to have a definite job but spends most of her time to rebuilding and arrange the house. As the plot progresses, visitors who admire the poet begin to arrive and complicate the coexistence in the home.

Although there are multiple interpretations for each script, the reflection that this film generated in mine is that through the development of the history we have complicated more than necessary with the relation with our home, the planet, mother earth. In the film, the poet makes many things, like events and invitations to strangers, to have stories to create while the woman, the mother, just wants to keep the original quiet that existed in the beginning. Sometimes we should learn more about the reflections presented to us by the films.
