I think you mean he’s “expressing”? Which he does, very honestly. He’s feeling his anger and fear and pain. And the burden of guilt he has for being alive. Imagine how sick he would have become if he’d repressed all that. Mom’s the one projecting her anger and pain - mostly onto her son, even into to something that may or may not be “real.” We can only suppress our emotions for so long before they find a way out.
I know I'm late, but the bugs pouring through the wall could be her emotions busting out, allowing the babadook in, and the hole being gone when other people come could be them not understanding her grief
What's happening in the self may not be evident when in the socialized self. Grief may easily seem not present in the presence of others. Psychological instincts to hide the observable grief - a negatively viewed emotion by society - in such kind of situation. Noting that that was the scene where community services were checking upon their state as a family with a threat of her being seen as an unhealthy environment for the child which would possibly lead to other unwanted things. Grief, with the mix of her starting to really hate her child, but she too don't want to lose him, also if at the expense of her motherly identity.
Or it's a bit of a nod to schizophrenia, I've read many suffers of it describe seeing bugs crawling from holes and places that don't exist. I'm starting to wonder if the whole premises to the movie is that she's suffering from that and simply doesn't know it. Sam of course only being a child doesn't fully understand whats going on and relates it to being caused by the book, and she of course having hallucinations.
Something you didn't address which I think was worth noting, the fact that the babadook was kept in the basement where she fed it can symbolise how she would go down to the basement to look at her husbands things and spend a moment alone to remember him and when she nearly trips its her having to fight the grief and not let herself sprial back into the way she was.
Babadook: Haha I killed ur dog!!! Sam: That isn’t our dog, we were watching him for the neighbor. Babadook: What neighbor? Sam: Some guy named John Wick Babadook: Oh **** *door knocks*
Theres a much deeper meaning in this then I feel your letting on, or maybe haven't noticed. There are clues in the movie that point towards the fact that Amelia was a storybook writer, something she's not been able to focus on since her husbands death. So it was her that wrote the babadook, she created the story, in her fractured mind as a way of punishing samual, because of the resentment she had for him. she created the babadook, and while we think we see the creature, the focus of the story is that of a mothers fractured and unsettled mind, and the hyperactive imagination of a child, both from their perspective giving life to the babadook. so while you could argue maybe the creature is real, what it most likely is, is the two main characters going though the grief and wild imagination. At the end of the movie amelia has a mental breakdown, and to samual he see's it as his mother being possessed. The ending is her finally dealing with her grief, and the babadook just being a representation of that grief.
I kind of wished the movie explored her writing stories more. Her writing the book make sense since the book doesn't have an author on it and it is already in the house. Her writing stories only gets mentioned once.
So how do you explain the ending where she feeds the "babadook" the bowl of worms? Is that still in her imagination or ..? Love your explanation of the movie btw it makes so much since now. I just finished watching the movie
Tahler theArtist in my way of interpreting it - the worm scene was a metaphor that the grief she holds is still and will always be there. grief never goes away, but now amelia can deal with it in a stable and proper way. she appears scared and about to fall first when the babadook (representing her depression) lunges at her, but she is eventually able to stand back up and tell the babadook “it’s alright”, soothing it. in essence, she is able to cope with her depression much better now and won’t fall back into insanity. the worms are a metaphor for things that medicate and help her for her depression/grief (like food to tame the babadook), it helps and trains her to cope. hope this helps :)
I believe it's metaphor. Since the Babadook symbolises grief and getting over death, the fact that it's there being fed at the end means (at least to me) that grief never really goes away but you learn to live with it
The babadook only haunts people who have expreienced actual fear or a tragedy that leaded them to disasters in their life. So that's a good reason why to face your fears
That kid was awesome. I admit, I couldn’t stand him at the beginning. He was annoying as FUCK. But at the end he turned into a resourceful and resilient hero and saved his mom. That was really good character development. That kid definitely had special forces training lol. Him and Kevin from Home Alone would be unstoppable together
They briefly sold a few thousand copies of the actual Babadook pop up book. Beautiful piece for any horror fan. You won't find it at a cheap price anymore though. I have one signed by Jennifer Kent (the director)
Apparently as a young boy I looked exactly like Gage from Pet Sematary and it scarred my mother for years seeing him get hit by that car. I was never allowed anywhere near a street and I never knew why until I was older. It’s kind of funny how much that movie fucked with her head...I hope that doesn’t happen to me some day with some movie lol!
B-Dad 8504 my brother when he was little looked like Danny from The Shining, found out that was why I wasn’t allowed to watch it until I finished the book
So Babadook = Grief as she goes through all stages. Denial - As she denies its existence, it gets stronger as real grief. Anger - She goes berserk and gets frustrated with people not understanding her issues (police station) Bargaining - Goes to do babadook’s bidding as she tries to kill her son to rid herself of the monster Depression - hopelessly laying on the floor - powerless - and trying to find courage Acceptance - Realizing grief will always be there and knowing every once and a while you have to feed it emotionally (or with worms in the hyper realistic take on dealing with grief) and going to the basement to feed the Dook is all to show that she’s feeding grief by visiting her husband’s old oddities and music. Mind is fried like bacon, have a good day
The thing I love about the ending is that Sam picks the food. He is the one helping tame the grief. And hopefully someday it will be tame enough for Emilia to go through all her husband's items and memory with her son.
the part that actually TERRIFIED me in this movie is really the mother son relationship and more specifically when she begins to lose her mind. the idea of a child having to live with a mother who is not actually a mother because she is too psychologically ill to be one, THAT is scary it is terrifying to see how she yells and says those things to him because it ACTUALLY HAPPENS in real life and i can GUARANTEE it is probably the worse most destructive thing to have happen to a child, for a child is dependent on their parents and have nowhere else to go. it’s just... it’s heartbreaking THIS IS WHAT CONDOMS ARE FOR PEOPLE!! STOP HAVING CHILDREN JUST SO U CAN DESTROY THEM 🤠
Cakey, kind of like the protagonist in Among The Sleep right? The monsters you see in that game are actually the protagonist's drunken, abusive mother. Since he's a toddler, his imagination merely causes him to see her as these monsters. While I do feel bad for the mom because of what she had been through before the game's prologue, that doesn't excuse what she did.
as someone who went through having a mother like that i completely understand what u mean and i remember watching this movie with my mother and she related so heavily to the mother in the movie with is double scary but it’s alright that’s what therapy is for kids 😁😄
19:02 *"...dealt with in a healthy way..."* I KNEW killing your dog and attempting to kill your child was a healthy way to deal with grief! Maybe I can finally get out of jail now.
@@mariah-se7ji lmao no. You have to understand what sleeplessness and desperation does to you. When the demon was actually threatening them both she shows her true nature and saves her son. When she was possessed and choking her son she still couldn't actually kill him because the power of her love for her son was too strong.
@@smash3439 ye at the end...but in the beginning it was clearly obvious she didn’t want sam, just by the reaction of when sam acted up. she felt empty because her husband died and she just didn’t want to love sam until the babadook threatened her home. then she was protective and showed her true feelings for sam
Vicci Tab ALL animals are amazing. Except mosquitos. That pesky screen have failed us. PS. I KNOW MOSQUITOS ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE EARTH, this is a joke.
i was about to look up the look see, but someone beat me to it. the babadook reminds me of it, just probably not as violent and doesn't possess you when it shows up.
I’d match it with grief, the more you oppress it the more powerful it gets, you can’t deny it, and it makes you mad. Depressed, and do stuff you don’t mean too, and getting over it can be hard.
It is depression and grief made worse by denial. Like boiling a kettle, but blocking the spout so the steam cannae escape. Now imagine there is a a gallon of water in that kettle. * opens umbrella *
"He tells her he knows she doesn't love him, but that it is the Babadook's fault. And that he will always love her" I haven't even watched the movie and this made me tear up a little bit. The childhood inocence and its interpretation about the unfairness of life is so raw, it hits you hard every time.
@agustinamagpie I explained to my teen that just watched this to replace the word Babadook with the word "depression " and parts like this make a lot more sense
Idk if anyone noticed this but at 4:37 the movie also portrays the mom and son’s personalities and emotions through the lamps. The lamp on the moms side is darker and covered up, like her emotions. However, the sons is bright and yellow symbolizing his innocent behavior. :))
The premise is pretty great actually. Never saw the movie or heard of it till now. I'm not one for horror, so maybe that's why. But, as a fan and someone studying it, I adore anything psychological. From my own experiences and seeing how it also affects others, I've seen firsthand how shoving grief and trauma can affect us. It's scary as hell, much like how it's portrayed in the film. By not acknowledging and healing from the pain, we only serve to make the past repeat in our minds over and over again. The pain never ending, only getting worse. As the OP said, it's only when we get to the root of the matter do we really start to heal and regain our lives. Unfortunately, I'd say around 95% of people in the US have unresolved trauma from their past. Specifically childhood. Most psychologists would agree that that's where most trauma stems. It follows is into adulthood and really messes us up. That's why antidepressants are the #1 prescribed drug, which is sickening. I was on a few of them myself in the past. I hated the way they made me feel and don't get me started on the side effects. Sometimes they're necessary for severe cases, but in most cases, there are many other ways to deal with emotional pain. No matter how old you are, it's never too late to heal. Life can only get better if you allow it to. Also, Samuel is gonna need a heavy dose of psychiatric help... Like... TONS. Poor kid.
Midnight Sonnet it’s funny because that’s America’s answer for everything. Slavery and genocide also had traumatic effects on whole races and America’s answer was to build on the bodies. They still tell us to get over it and I’ll gladly say the same too everyone who agreed with you js.
She was emotionally abusing him, that's why he acts out and is so afraid of "monsters", the monsters are her demons, she is the babadook: it's a manifestation of her frustration towards him.
@@davidjones272 Uh, there is a difference between emotional abuse and emotional absence. I hope you know that? There is a lot more to the movie than your narrative of "bad mother". I didn't know you were an expert on human psychology, David.
Amelia was the author of the child's book. She is an author of children's books as stated at the beginning. The worms symbolize how our "bodies" decompose in the earth, eaten by worms. She is "feeding" her "grief " with worms to digest and decompose/get rid of that grief. That was a brilliant touch.
i like to imagine that the babadook is actually good, like what happened after the experience was meant to happen, i imagine that he puts people through these situations and then influences the others mentally to fix the problem, and when they actually try to fix it, he acts like he’s being defeated and causes the mother to realize how much her son actually loves her unusual theory but definitely would be a creative topic
Tried watching Crypt TV. Not scary and actually kind of bad in my opinion. I have never really liked creepypasta garbage, and the lack of any attempt to explain anything. So that and the bad (even by youtube video standards) "special effects" just turn me away from their stuff.
The little boy is a great actor he played that part very well. He was getting on my last nerve with his hysteria. Lord i couldn't stand him LOL. I thought dam I would lose my mind with such a child. Now when she killed the dog that really blew my mind she was such a good dog.
I loved this movie so much. It is terrifying as all hell. And a perfect representation of what going through grief is like. And anyone who's actually experienced the loss of a loved one knows how terrifying of an experience it truly is. And it never goes away. The pain stays with you forever, you just need to learn how to manage it.
for me, the movie didnt even make me flinch at all on my first viewing, then i realised the metaphorical angle to it and as someone who has always repressed/shoves away emotions, it is now that the horror has set in
Amelia:" Why can't you be Normal?" Well Amelia, you never shown genuine love for your child, you were mostly detached and you even blamed his birth for the death of your husband...I am pretty sure this is not a good way to raise a child! And your sister a little bit of a bitch,too. The only good, balanced character in this movie was the Elderly neighboor which I loved so much!
People never ever have any sympathy for mothers I stg. She was almost certainly experiencing postpartum depression on top of very real grief of losing her husband the same night. Y'all are always so quick to blame the medical system for not caring about mental health, and yet here you are. Not caring. Did Amelia get the therapy and support she desperately needed? Judging by her clear exhaustion and obvious depression, the answer seems a hearty no. Yeah, she isn't winning mother of the year, but I WISH my mother showed me the love Amelia did for Sam. My mother wasn't even single or lost her husband in a horrific accident, yet she has never been as warm as Amelia. No mother is perfect, Amelia certainly wasn't, but ffs. Give her a break. She got it together after 8 years, some people never will.
@@diy_cat9817 Miss me with this stupid bs about nobody caring about mothers. You sound like the kind of person who thinks women who smother their children should be sent to mental insititutions or somehow be given legal leeway because of “muh depression”. “Nobody cares about mothers” which is blatantly untrue. Jesus I think I lost brain cells reading that comment.
Your analysis is very thorough and impressive. I think you arrived at the same conclusion as the vast majority, so it must be correct. However, even though I am the only one, I had a different interpretation of the symbolism. I think the Babadook is a symbol for mental illness. Early in the movie we see that her son has adapted his life to set up traps and make weapons against a monster. When the mother is awake, she is clearly withdrawn, exhausted, and depressed, but she is going through the motions of taking care of her child. Then we see her possessed by the Babadook after waking up, and she then begins terrorizing the household. But her son has all of these traps conveniently already in place. So I assume that this is not the first time that she has woken up deranged and violent in the middle of the night, which is why her son refuses to sleep and has all of these weapons and traps that are sized to his mother. Because he is a young child figuring out how to survive but who still loves and doesn't want to harm his mother, he creates tools that make sense to him that may hurt her but won't kill her. I'm just saying that he ties her up very efficiently and seems pretty calm in his patent responses, which can be summarized as, "I know you hate me, but I love you and I'm going to protect you from the monster." "The monster" then is this state of psychosis that the mother appears to not remember in the morning. Her son is living this life of aggression and stress because the one family member he has, whom he loves, is also trying to hurt and/or kill him at night in unpredictable intervals. This night is different because she wakes up and remembers what happened. And then she decides to get help. Then, the Babadook living in the basement symbolizes that she will always have her mental illness, but she can manage it and accept it.
You're certainly not the only one who thought that. And frankly I think he did a poor job with a movie that was really not all that cryptic . He missed a lot, and I honestly think the mental illness being represented by Babadook is quite clear and obvious.
@@the-fool666 it's just a guy who gets into your house when you watch too many 5-minute craft videos lol. He's just walking around your house replacing items with dollar store versions
The scariest part of this movie for me was when she sees her own face staring through the window on the T.V. Such an eerie moment. Her entire expression just sticks with me.
When she screamed at the babadook toward the end, clutching her son, I even felt empowered. She really just told that demon to get the hell out with all the motherly strength that she had. Just wow
I couldn't believe Amelia's sister. She's so damn nasty. I can't believe how rude and unsupportive she was. Amelia and Sam are FAR better off without her.
You should consider the fact that although we (as the viewers) have only had to deal with Amelia and her son's shenanigans for the movie length, her sister has had to deal with it for 7 years. Imagine trying to be supportive of someone who borderline neglects her child. It wouldn't be easy.
Madd Mattie I've actually been confused about that. Samuel pushed Runy out of the tree house while she was facing him. So how did she break her nose.???
Or not reading a scary book to a child who says he sees a monster in his room. Horror movie characters are idiots. "Lets split up in the climax of the movie!" "I'm going to head towards the sound instead of getting out of the house and calling 911!"
It is. The simplified version of it is that the Babadook is the symbolic representation of how her grief and depression is controlling her life and preventing her from being the mother that her son deserves. The weird possession floaty things and the black vomit is more symbolism, but for Sam instead of just her. It’s how he sees her, scary and abusive, and sometimes he has to defend himself, but he still loves her. Ultimately that love is what helps her redeem herself and break free from the control of her depression. The end shows that Emilia still has her grief and depression, and she acknowledges it (feeding it worms) and how strong it still is, but she won’t allow it back into her house to control their lives ever again.

Baba Dochia In Romanian mythology, Baba Dochia, or The Old Dokia, is a figure identified with the return of spring. She is sometimes imagined as “an old woman who insults the month of March when she goes out with a herd of sheep or goats.”[1] Supposedly the name originates from the Byzantine calendar, which celebrates the 2nd-century martyr-saint Eudokia of Heliopolis (Evdokia) on March 1.[1] The Romanian Dokia personifies mankind's impatience in waiting for the return of spring. Baba Dochia has a son, called Dragomir, who is married. Dochia ill-treats her daughter-in-law by sending her to pick up berries in the forest at the end of February. God appears to the girl as an old man and helps her in her task. When Dochia sees the berries, she thinks that spring has come back and leaves for the mountains with her son and her goats. She is dressed with twelve lambskins, but it rains on the mountain and the skins get soaked and heavy. Dochia has to get rid of the skins and when frost comes she perishes from the cold with her goats. Her son freezes to death with a piece of ice in his mouth as he was playing the flute.
I always felt that 'the Babadook' was a broad personification of grief. It's in a word, it's in a look, and it will never leave. But you can tame it, if you understand what's happening

Y'all need to chill on the kid. His mother is the reason he's like that.
That kid was awesome. I admit, I couldn’t stand him at the beginning. He was annoying as FUCK. But at the end he turned into a resourceful and resilient hero and saved his mom. That was really good character development. That kid definitely had special forces training lol. Him and Kevin from Home Alone would be unstoppable together

My brother looks exactly like Sam so it made the movie 10x scarier
TankDown my brother looks like babadook so it’s 100x scarier
Don't let him go to the library
My dad looks like the dog 1000000× scarier
Apparently as a young boy I looked exactly like Gage from Pet Sematary and it scarred my mother for years seeing him get hit by that car. I was never allowed anywhere near a street and I never knew why until I was older. It’s kind of funny how much that movie fucked with her head...I hope that doesn’t happen to me some day with some movie lol!
B-Dad 8504 my brother when he was little looked like Danny from The Shining, found out that was why I wasn’t allowed to watch it until I finished the book
So Babadook = Grief as she goes through all stages.
Denial - As she denies its existence, it gets stronger as real grief.
Anger - She goes berserk and gets frustrated with people not understanding her issues (police station)
Bargaining - Goes to do babadook’s bidding as she tries to kill her son to rid herself of the monster
Depression - hopelessly laying on the floor - powerless - and trying to find courage
Acceptance - Realizing grief will always be there and knowing every once and a while you have to feed it emotionally (or with worms in the hyper realistic take on dealing with grief) and going to the basement to feed the Dook is all to show that she’s feeding grief by visiting her husband’s old oddities and music.
Mind is fried like bacon, have a good day
The thing I love about the ending is that Sam picks the food. He is the one helping tame the grief. And hopefully someday it will be tame enough for Emilia to go through all her husband's items and memory with her son.
Someone get her a therapist, a priest, and some salt.
WE'RE FIXING THIS.
nah. Just give her a snickers bar! She'll be back to normal soon after!

It's sad the dog died but they got a new pet a babadook
Eddie Dog Rocks hahaha
Eddie Dog Rocks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wanna pet babadook, I'd love and nurture it
Fuck
I wanted to see what would happen
the part that actually TERRIFIED me in this movie is really the mother son relationship and more specifically when she begins to lose her mind.
the idea of a child having to live with a mother who is not actually a mother because she is too psychologically ill to be one, THAT is scary
it is terrifying to see how she yells and says those things to him because it ACTUALLY HAPPENS in real life and i can GUARANTEE it is probably the worse most destructive thing to have happen to a child, for a child is dependent on their parents and have nowhere else to go. it’s just... it’s heartbreaking THIS IS WHAT CONDOMS ARE FOR PEOPLE!! STOP HAVING CHILDREN JUST SO U CAN DESTROY THEM 🤠
Cakey, kind of like the protagonist in Among The Sleep right? The monsters you see in that game are actually the protagonist's drunken, abusive mother. Since he's a toddler, his imagination merely causes him to see her as these monsters. While I do feel bad for the mom because of what she had been through before the game's prologue, that doesn't excuse what she did.
So the point of this movie is for us to use condoms
*Abortion has left the chat*
This would apply here... if the kid wasn't planned to begin with. The abuse applies still, yea, but the quip about condoms is irrelevant
as someone who went through having a mother like that i completely understand what u mean and i remember watching this movie with my mother and she related so heavily to the mother in the movie with is double scary but it’s alright that’s what therapy is for kids 😁😄
19:02 *"...dealt with in a healthy way..."*
I KNEW killing your dog and attempting to kill your child was a healthy way to deal with grief! Maybe I can finally get out of jail now.
the way she treats Sam in the movie is actually horrifying
😫
Super cat Gaming roblox and? He’s a fucking kid.
she was terrible. she never wanted him even when she wasn’t possessed by the babadook
@@mariah-se7ji lmao no. You have to understand what sleeplessness and desperation does to you. When the demon was actually threatening them both she shows her true nature and saves her son. When she was possessed and choking her son she still couldn't actually kill him because the power of her love for her son was too strong.
@@smash3439 ye at the end...but in the beginning it was clearly obvious she didn’t want sam, just by the reaction of when sam acted up. she felt empty because her husband died and she just didn’t want to love sam until the babadook threatened her home. then she was protective and showed her true feelings for sam

It is depression and grief made worse by denial.

I think she wrote the book. She did mention when talking about her writing she did some "children's stuff".
yooo no way!! SHE MADE TEH BOOK
I caught that too and also thought that maybe she wrote that book as a way of her describing her depression.
Alyssa Rose hey that does make sense but I also think that the babadook is a tulpac a supernatural entity created by Amelia’s Mind read up on it
Good point, I didn't catch that.
No.
"He tells her he knows she doesn't love him, but that it is the Babadook's fault. And that he will always love her"
I haven't even watched the movie and this made me tear up a little bit. The childhood inocence and its interpretation about the unfairness of life is so raw, it hits you hard every time.
Big facts
The exact quote is "I know you don't love me. The Babadook won't let you. But I love you, mum. And I always will."
@agustinamagpie I explained to my teen that just watched this to replace the word Babadook with the word "depression " and parts like this make a lot more sense

The premise is pretty great actually. Never saw the movie or heard of it till now. I'm not one for horror, so maybe that's why. But, as a fan and someone studying it, I adore anything psychological. From my own experiences and seeing how it also affects others, I've seen firsthand how shoving grief and trauma can affect us. It's scary as hell, much like how it's portrayed in the film. By not acknowledging and healing from the pain, we only serve to make the past repeat in our minds over and over again. The pain never ending, only getting worse. As the OP said, it's only when we get to the root of the matter do we really start to heal and regain our lives.
Unfortunately, I'd say around 95% of people in the US have unresolved trauma from their past. Specifically childhood. Most psychologists would agree that that's where most trauma stems. It follows is into adulthood and really messes us up. That's why antidepressants are the #1 prescribed drug, which is sickening. I was on a few of them myself in the past. I hated the way they made me feel and don't get me started on the side effects. Sometimes they're necessary for severe cases, but in most cases, there are many other ways to deal with emotional pain. No matter how old you are, it's never too late to heal. Life can only get better if you allow it to.
Also, Samuel is gonna need a heavy dose of psychiatric help... Like... TONS. Poor kid.
I was think the same thing
Midnight Sonnet it’s funny because that’s America’s answer for everything. Slavery and genocide also had traumatic effects on whole races and America’s answer was to build on the bodies. They still tell us to get over it and I’ll gladly say the same too everyone who agreed with you js.

i like to imagine that the babadook is actually good, like what happened after the experience was meant to happen, i imagine that he puts people through these situations and then influences the others mentally to fix the problem, and when they actually try to fix it, he acts like he’s being defeated and causes the mother to realize how much her son actually loves her

The fact that how you started the comment with a real fact and ended it at a very witty yet sarcastic point is amazing 😝
I loved this movie so much. It is terrifying as all hell. And a perfect representation of what going through grief is like. And anyone who's actually experienced the loss of a loved one knows how terrifying of an experience it truly is. And it never goes away. The pain stays with you forever, you just need to learn how to manage it.
When i first saw this movie before this vid I actually wanted to tear my eyes out it was so stressful. The psychological was so much.
This re giving me a scarw
for me, the movie didnt even make me flinch at all on my first viewing, then i realised the metaphorical angle to it and as someone who has always repressed/shoves away emotions, it is now that the horror has set in

Amelia:" Why can't you be Normal?"
Well Amelia, you never shown genuine love for your child, you were mostly detached and you even blamed his birth for the death of your husband...I am pretty sure this is not a good way to raise a child!
And your sister a little bit of a bitch,too.
The only good, balanced character in this movie was the Elderly neighboor which I loved so much!
It's not Amelia's fault. She was struggling with her post traumatic depression and yet she tried to be a good mother.
And her husband died during the drive to the hospital. Double misery 😢
what happened to you doesnt excuse you of doing things to others.
People never ever have any sympathy for mothers I stg.
She was almost certainly experiencing postpartum depression on top of very real grief of losing her husband the same night.
Y'all are always so quick to blame the medical system for not caring about mental health, and yet here you are. Not caring.
Did Amelia get the therapy and support she desperately needed?
Judging by her clear exhaustion and obvious depression, the answer seems a hearty no.
Yeah, she isn't winning mother of the year, but I WISH my mother showed me the love Amelia did for Sam. My mother wasn't even single or lost her husband in a horrific accident, yet she has never been as warm as Amelia.
No mother is perfect, Amelia certainly wasn't, but ffs.
Give her a break. She got it together after 8 years, some people never will.
@@diy_cat9817 Miss me with this stupid bs about nobody caring about mothers.

@@addsch4989 I think it is
Your analysis is very thorough and impressive. I think you arrived at the same conclusion as the vast majority, so it must be correct. However, even though I am the only one, I had a different interpretation of the symbolism. I think the Babadook is a symbol for mental illness. Early in the movie we see that her son has adapted his life to set up traps and make weapons against a monster. When the mother is awake, she is clearly withdrawn, exhausted, and depressed, but she is going through the motions of taking care of her child. Then we see her possessed by the Babadook after waking up, and she then begins terrorizing the household. But her son has all of these traps conveniently already in place. So I assume that this is not the first time that she has woken up deranged and violent in the middle of the night, which is why her son refuses to sleep and has all of these weapons and traps that are sized to his mother. Because he is a young child figuring out how to survive but who still loves and doesn't want to harm his mother, he creates tools that make sense to him that may hurt her but won't kill her. I'm just saying that he ties her up very efficiently and seems pretty calm in his patent responses, which can be summarized as, "I know you hate me, but I love you and I'm going to protect you from the monster." "The monster" then is this state of psychosis that the mother appears to not remember in the morning. Her son is living this life of aggression and stress because the one family member he has, whom he loves, is also trying to hurt and/or kill him at night in unpredictable intervals. This night is different because she wakes up and remembers what happened. And then she decides to get help. Then, the Babadook living in the basement symbolizes that she will always have her mental illness, but she can manage it and accept it.
Precisely sir, nicely done
literally half the comment section is saying this, you are not the only one who managed to notice this
You're certainly not the only one who thought that. And frankly I think he did a poor job with a movie that was really not all that cryptic . He missed a lot, and I honestly think the mental illness being represented by Babadook is quite clear and obvious.
This was my interpretation too

Well he did push her child off a tree house face first.
You should consider the fact that although we (as the viewers) have only had to deal with Amelia and her son's shenanigans for the movie length, her sister has had to deal with it for 7 years. Imagine trying to be supportive of someone who borderline neglects her child. It wouldn't be easy.

@@asharudheenm5806 "metaphor"
It is. The simplified version of it is that the Babadook is the symbolic representation of how her grief and depression is controlling her life and preventing her from being the mother that her son deserves.
The weird possession floaty things and the black vomit is more symbolism, but for Sam instead of just her. It’s how he sees her, scary and abusive, and sometimes he has to defend himself, but he still loves her. Ultimately that love is what helps her redeem herself and break free from the control of her depression.
The end shows that Emilia still has her grief and depression, and she acknowledges it (feeding it worms) and how strong it still is, but she won’t allow it back into her house to control their lives ever again.

Baba Dochia
In Romanian mythology, Baba Dochia, or The Old Dokia, is a figure identified with the return of spring. She is sometimes imagined as “an old woman who insults the month of March when she goes out with a herd of sheep or goats.”[1] Supposedly the name originates from the Byzantine calendar, which celebrates the 2nd-century martyr-saint Eudokia of Heliopolis (Evdokia) on March 1.[1] The Romanian Dokia personifies mankind's impatience in waiting for the return of spring.
Baba Dochia has a son, called Dragomir, who is married. Dochia ill-treats her daughter-in-law by sending her to pick up berries in the forest at the end of February. God appears to the girl as an old man and helps her in her task. When Dochia sees the berries, she thinks that spring has come back and leaves for the mountains with her son and her goats. She is dressed with twelve lambskins, but it rains on the mountain and the skins get soaked and heavy. Dochia has to get rid of the skins and when frost comes she perishes from the cold with her goats. Her son freezes to death with a piece of ice in his mouth as he was playing the flute.

Babadook:BACK OF BITCH THIS MY MOVIE
I always felt that 'the Babadook' was a broad personification of grief. It's in a word, it's in a look, and it will never leave. But you can tame it, if you understand what's happening
