    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.

        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.

          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.
