Ughh, I'm such an idiot and missed the perfect opportunity to end the video with "Mommy loves you very much!"
Kinda was disappointed
I was literally just about to type this exact same thing! xD Damn...
wow did not think about how it can relate to "Psycho"
stupid movie.
Thank you!! I just watched last night definally one of my favorites on my list to see it back again but I wish it could have been longer.
You missed the fact of the 1st daughter mother created. She would be women's age. And she said she was found as a baby. Mother put her there to be found. At the end mother tells her so. Her purpose was done
This is true. A definite theory, but I was hesitant to put it in because Woman says she remembers seeing talk shows like Johnny Carson which I found weird she would remember but not Mother.
@@ThinkStory She implied that they were all carbon copies of Mother, they're a hive mind and there isn't just one mother, that's why she was so scared and tried to attack her when she entered the shelter. Plus it's not impossible she could have seen some TV talk shows after 37 years (probably) of life wandering in the mines.
Great point. I missed that.
@@ThinkStory well, considered that Daughter also watch old TV shows, then that would make perfect sense that Woman is the first daughter, cause she probably was like Daughter and watched old TV show when she was little ( especially when Mother show up at the end to tell Woman that she has her purpose too.) After all, Mother is single consciousness.
Didn’t she say she was found by the other family as a baby?
The actress who played daughter did an incredible job
Woman did a good job at an impossible character. Her mentality would've guaranteed death unless mother was actively providing for her.
Especially when she was scared
She reminds me of Natalie Portman when she was a teenager hell they even look alike in certains shots anyway i think she is going to have a great career i hope so.
The actor of the mother did a good job
IKR...
Mother running is terrifying lmao
Andrew Filipowitz right i even got scared
Every time I see her run, i was thinking about Usain Bolt lmao
@@ssl5362 faxxxx😂
I felt like it was going to run into me and I definitely don’t want to find out what getting hit by that even feels like! Lol
Very lol
I knew Daughter wasn't the first human and that other children must have been killed.Woman being a test for Daughter was the real surprise.Mother was so creepy without ever raising her voice.Great cast, cinematography and robot design.
Mommy GLADOS
Well she is an AI. So she most likely don’t have emotion and would not get mad. Which is what you describe as creepy.
@@mikkel066h yes and no, what is describing as creepy is the lack of emotion coupled with the expressions and reactions of a normal human
my friend's son was the screenwriter for this movie
if u liked the robot design watch this ua-cam.com/video/8_XwRFD5Lqs/v-deo.html
Thanos: "I want to wipe out half of humanity."
Mother: "Lol, that's cute."
Oz Majid 😂😂😂😂
*half of the universe
Very cute indeed lol
🤣🤣🤣
Mother: «i wiped out humanity
Thanos: «lol, that’s cute, i wiped out half the universe»
Come to think about it...the marvel universe is sorta lame, if hoomans were the only ones who actually bothered to deal with Thanos. The billions of other galaxies (which contain millions of stars) all were populated with good-for-nothings squatters. Jesus. Come to think about it, that glove was overpowered to be able to do that. Killing a bunch of life forms over such astronomical distances, instantly, is a waste of a perfectly good tool.
Thanos: "I am inevitable"
Mother: "Hold my Daughter"
Lol!)
thanos: "i must kill my daughter"
Mother: "im on number 3"
@@vladstad8102 Daughter: "What happens after I pass my exam?"
Mother: "I'll finally rest, and watch the sun rise on a grateful planet"
Emilio Hidalgo i dont think they say that in the movie
@@Eddymr12 Of course they don't 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's called a joke
Netflix is now making theater quality movies. This was great!
They didn't make this. They bought the rights to distribute it.
@@blessedchild4941 Either way,what I've been seeing on Netflix lately is theater quality material. Not just this movie alone,but thanks for the info. I didn't know.
@@terrylogginss I agree. I have always complained about Netflix movies, but they have been hitting the ball out of the park lately. This movie was good!
i thought it was just ok and barely that
@@alecnguyen838 It made me feel something and think a little. Only thing Netflix movies used to do is turn them off or laugh. Not everyone will like it. I did.
The test in which mother asks the theory of saving 1 vs saving many, encompasses the overall theme of this movie: Saving good humans. During the test the daughter is asked who would she save and she says, "Comte says that I should be willing to suffer harm for the benefit of others." And she did when she took in the woman, and helped her get back to her own home. She also says, "I a life-saving doctor, my be giving my life away to others who end up hurting more people due to my sacrifice." Again she did that with the woman, giving the only life she has known away to help her.
But in the end her final answer to the question was "do I know these people? Are they good people?" And that is ultimately what her final test is all about. When figuring out which one to save, it's important to figure out which ones are good, worth saving. The woman proved to the daughter that she was more selfish for her own desires then that of human kind. At her trailer on the beach the woman says, "it's not a sin to look after yourself." The woman had been selfish in leaving her brother behind, in not wanting to check if others had survived at the mines, and by bringing her out here. The daughter understood this. She understood that it's better to be selfless and go back to save her brother to raise him to be good, to not be selfish. The daughter realized that by saving the woman, she was causing more harm to others; all the others to be raised that the facility.
That's why the woman was the daughters ultimate test. As everyone else theorizes the woman was APX01 thrown out to the wild to one day be the final test for APX03, APX02 never made it that far, because she failed the first layer of tests. But I also believe that APX01 was in her own test as well.That mother was testing out her own theory; nurture vs nature (remember when she was asked why can't there be more, she said she is trying to figure out how to be a good mother). The woman wasn't raised with a loving mother or family, had inadequate resources, food, water. She grew up to be selfish. But Mother let her live, to let her also have a final test, to see if she could still be selfless with the life she has lived. Her final test was whether or not she would leave the daughter in a safe place or bring her in harms way. So in theory they were both in their own tests, the daughter passed by going back for her brother, and the woman failed. And thats why she had to die. She's not a good human. Only good humans can survive.
Sorry but... what was test for woman?? To see if she was gonna he’ll daughter or something like that ?
wow yes!!! i agree with and love this interpretation so much!!
@@Dylanset15 i think they're trying to say that for woman, the test was if it's possible for humans to be selfless and compassionate despite having a bad upbringing. but woman, who prioritized her freedom and happiness over the brother and the other embryos because she grew up only knowing how to be selfish, failed the test.
Nice work
wow for a second i thought the robot "mother" wrote this paragraph. beautiful explanation xD
SPOILERS BELOW
a. There was a nuclear/chemical/biological bombs that killed off humanity, as evidenced by day 1 when bombs could be heard and the bunker was shaking, and that APX01 mentioned that "nothing could grow from the soil". Probably from Mother VS humans since she said she had already decided to "elevate her creators".
b. The older women is the first embryo APX01, as seen from the days at the start of the movie and that we actually see Mother take the APX01 embryo out to grow it. APX01 doesn't remember her own biological mother because she doesn't have any. (except for maybe that late night show she saw on a tablet)
c. When Daughter asks "why don't we have more children/siblings" and Mother replies "mothers need time to learn how to raise a child" she wasn't implying about herself, she was implying about how Daughter needs time to learn how to be a Mother.
d. Droids/Mother control everything, so they and shoots APX01 to lead her to the bunker. I disagree with commenters saying that it seems Mother is giving her a choice to convert and stay with them. She tortures APX01 for info for other humans and was hostile to her (Daughter doesn't see this so basically this isn't manipulation, Mother was legit trynna find out if there were any older "lousy" humans out there that weren't extinct.) Mother released APX01 to the wild to let her grow without Mother's teachings. When she comes back, she shows that she can be cunning and manipulative (just like Mother?) even putting a knife to Daughter's neck.
e. When APX01 was being operated on by Daughter she was clutching a Rosary, a catholic symbol. Its shown again in APX01's home where there were Mother Mary figurines. Mother Mary virgin birthed Jesus to be the saviour of humanity, similarly at the end of the film Daughter is gonna virgin birth her children/siblings to save humanity.
f. The fact that she lied about the bullet and left it lying around to be found could be a test her Daughter's intelligence. Mother has sensors in the room (as evidenced later before the thigh torture scene) that hear everything so Mother was already aware about their plot to escape. Yes it happened when she was recharging but she was omnipresent.
g. During the final fight with Mother, when she was trapped, it appears that Daughter manages to convince Mother that she was worthy of leading the new generation of humans. The fact that she came back for her brother alone despite the danger to her own life, shows that she does care for humanity on a whole. Mother then guides Daughter's gun to her CPU to kill off her, as a symbolic gesture of her being an adult an assuming the role of Mother (since her AI is omnipresent anyway). Mother is also convinced that Daughter would do a fine job to making sure humanity turns out right/obey the droid overlords/AI's wishes of a better humanity since the risk of Mother coming back to restart humanity is always going to be there. Whatever the case is it was in Mother's plan to led the new batch of humans be raised by a human mother. At the end scene where Daughter walks into the embryo room we see that the title refers to her in the end, she becomes Mother.
h. The tracking device in APX01's backpack was the device Mother had been fixing. She needed to kill APX01 her mentality is super against Mother/droids (alas it couldn't be helped as she was raised by humans, that was her purpose.)
i. Anytime you see Mother acting surprised/running its all part of story to lead the audience to believe that Mother didn't plan it all along. She's basically Nazi AI. n A z I.
l understand this better than the video. Thanks!
Gaaaaaaadamn
What I don't understand is why Mother thinks Daughter can replace her in raising better humans. Mother would kill those that didn't meet her standards. Daughter would never do that. So doesn't that mean there's going to be new humans that don't turn out the way Mother would want, if Daughter isn't willing to kill those Mother considers below her standards?
@@Black_Phillip well of course - she hasnt saved humanity at all, just a breed of super slaves. But its not clear how having humans around is of benefit to mother. A clue is probably in the moral test the daughter takes about medical choices - there is horror in pure utlilitarianism.
you know you dont have to do a spoiler alert under a ending explaining video
I think it's one of the first roles for the actor playing Daughter. You have to say she does a great job of carrying the film.
Indeed she does
gaspanda I can’t believe she’s 21 in real life!! She’s very young looking!
I thought mother and daughter looked like they are related for real.
Love your thoughts ♥️
@@wuestinesteen907 did you mean woman and daughter? Or did you think daughter looked a bit mechanical....
Lol the daughter and woman seem related for real, in one of the scenes. Can't remember exactly when now, but yes also the daughter seems very talented and her ability to sell the character was brilliant. ♥️
Rose Byrne’s voice was so perfect for Mother.
girlwithatale that was her?????? Whoa!
When she said "mothers need time to learn" she didn't say it in first person. She may have been referring to daughter. As she's been making daughters into the perfect mother. I think that's another meaning to the title.
They came up with some really creative names in this movie.
Jackson McKenzie it didn’t need to be 2 damn hrs they crazy smh
Still better than Bird Box.
Ikr! Even if I tried for 100000000000 years I wouldnt be able to think something like that!!
Jackson McKenzie heck yeah the 3 best names in movie history Mother, Daughter and woman yep that’s there names
O R I G I O N A L
I'm not gonna lie, I really do hope there's a part 2 to this movie haha
With the way it ended they definitely left an opening for a sequel, probably entitled "I am Father" followed by later sequels.. "I am Grandmother" "I am Sister" "I am Brother" "I am Daughter" etc etc..
There is no point in making a sequel. Everything you need to know is in the movie
@@flora__bLiNk.007 Actually it would be interesting to see if mother will be satisfied about the children raised by daughter. And even if they are perfect, are they going to be okay with droids controlling the world and killing all human kind!
@@jamesmacoisdealbhaigh9904 Then I AM SHAZAM!
I am auntie, I am uncle... i am step... lol
The Robots voice is so calming NOT EVEN GONNA LIE. Truly heartbreaking shooting her own "Mother" But ultimately great movie!
MikeyMyBoi i thought i was the only one who thought daughter shooting mother felt wrong
@@itry_mash8261 Nahh broo it hit DEEP! Still a great movie.
iTRY_ Mash the Mother AI is still out there. I saw it as Mother encouraging Daughter to symbolically cut the “umbilical cord” and assume her independence as an adult.
Im so glad I'm not the only one who felt that! I watched this movie last night for the first time and I was nearly in tears at 3am, lol. It was definitely heartbreaking
Is it weird that as soon as i saw this movie i was thinking 'can't wait to see think story ending explained for this'?
I JUST DID THIS! i just saw the movie and like less than five minutes later watching this
I DID THE SAME THING WAT, I think that the movie it's really catchy
I saw this before watching. Though expect those that hate spoilers to nerd rage any how.
This was well done.
It's become a huge part of my life too. LOL
SAME HERE
just finished the movie wtf happened to the dog was it imaginary?
Dreamstate yes they do they are domesticated what would that animal eat? It needs its own ecosystem
There was only oxygen there the dog would have had to been deliberately kept alive as well by the machines then mother got rid of the dog as soon as daughter left back and the origami wasn’t left by daughter but by mother
Food....the dog became food.
@@azrael8598 I believe it was done by daughter, since it was done with the piece of paper daughter was looking at when the dog approach her.
@@SteveNaranjo didnt mother have the book when she visits the woman
odd that no one mentions Woman and Daughter have the same hair, nearly the same height and build. . . . also odd that everyone assumes everything Woman told Daughter about her past and her memories are the truth. Yeah, Woman was definitely APX01
Plus the poster for the movie shows the two women side by side - the resemblance just pops out once you look for it.
@@edbouhl3100 you don't even have to look for it! when they meet the director shoots both actors looking at each other, hair styled the exact same, staring through glass (a mirror). audiences are meant to draw the similarities immediately, and definitely wonder about the relation (@ their meeting i wondered if somehow she was daughters mom lmao)
1. When woman is in the hospital bed, daughter shows her the talk show, which she oddly remembers from many years ago.
2. The exstinction occured ca. 37 years ago, same age as woman.
3. There are 3 embryos missing.
4. Mother tells woman in the end that its odd she doesnt remember her mother, so Most likely woman is the first embryo.
+ daughter finds the remains of only one of the embrios.. Probably apx02... Woman is most surely the first. Another thing, or clue, îs that all the embrios were females
And daughter is actually the third. If you study deeper, symbolically the story is about one woman, assessing her entire life. 🤔
Now my opinion of that theory is in question. I'm now thinking, woman might have been raised by that second "mother" Bot In the shipping container. 'You don't remember your mother" ,was said as the motherbot touches the Virgin Mary statuette on woman's alter. As if the BOT "MOM" was saying, she had been replaced with the beliefs of Catholicism or replaced by a "human" representation. 🤔
Yes, but until the Child was "born" there were only females... Any way, it's a good movie :)
bustin nuts but what happened to the 2 one???
This auto-played right after the new season of Black Mirror so I thought it was another episode. Lol!
This is the best honest mistake I've ever read 😂
it could be!
clutch2827 underrated comment right there
I thought it could have been a great black mirror episode
I love how they present Mother setting up the tracking device as part of a montage where Daughter is taking her exams. A hidden hint that ties the end scene in the shipping container to Mother's overall plan for Daughter.
“Mothers need time to learn raising a *good* child”. IT’S RIGHT THERE! Raising a “GOOD” child is the order of operation for Mother robot.
Technically daughter really didn't kill mother, but deception of her death does happen.
I dont think its a deception but more symbolism. While Mother is every robot the one called mother had reduced armor and warming pads. Destroying that body was to help show the daughter this is really on her now, as mother's remaining cold bodies couldn't warm and raise a child. Though I am sure mother could make another if she chose
that surprised me. i honestly thought that mother was giving up control by allowing daughter to kill her and at the same time all the machines, we thought, shut down as well. i thought the machines weren't needed anymore because anybody that would rise against them is dead now and the earth is livable once more. course there's always that one last twist....
There's a scene where Woman is in the infirmary looking through the window directly parallel to Daughter. In that scene, they mirrored each other too perfectly so if you didn't get the hint before that she had been an earlier clone, then that should have done it. Nice to see the truth revealed in a shot like that instead of having it all overly explained out loud.
Although, I sorta kept waiting for Woman to make the connection. Then again, I suppose it would be more difficult to recognize a younger version of yourself growing up in a world like that.
If I've learned anything from movies like these, it's that the AI is almost always several steps ahead. There's no way Mother would have allowed Daughter to wander about without being constantly monitored one way or another.
Woman isn't so much a clone of Daughter. Mother wants to have as diverse a gene pool as possible to sustain life. Also, seeing herself in Daughter could potentially tip off Mother's plan, so that's not going to happen.
There's diversity there, they don't all have to be clones in the bunker and all are labeled. If I remember correctly isn't the younger daughter played by the same child as the second attempt? Or maybe they're the only two clones if not part of the same DNA strain? Woman may not be meant to sustain life and could only be used as part of the experiment. All three embryos came from the same group and looked similar, is it just coincidence to give you the hint that they all came from the same place?
While watch the movie i thought they looked a lot alike
Watching the scene that you mentioned, I got the same feeling too. That Daughter is the clone of Woman(perhaps), and Mother is experimenting to make the perfect (human)mother for the new human. But since Mother is a singular consciousness which means throughout the years of making a perfect daughter to become the perfect mother, woman didn't made it ( for the score) so that Mother send her outside when she is still a toddler(baby) for other remaining human to raise her so that she can come back someday to serve her purpose( to make Daughter become the mother to replace the droid mother).
They're not clones. If they were clones then the human race would go extinct. You need more than 2 different people to maintain the race.
Woman was not APX01. If APX01 was released into the wild as a baby then there's an unexplained 12 year gap between the ages of APX02 + APX03 and the elapsed time.
Secondly, why would Mother do that? To ensure that she'd come back to "test" Daughter? No, Mother couldn't control that. Too many variables. Mother couldn't even make APX02 work out. She also wanted any of the "old" humans left alive killed. For the prodigal daughter plan to work Mother would need to leave some alive to look after her.
No, APX01 was simply aborted when she was 12. Woman was just a random human that had come onto Mother's radar when she fled the mines to live on the surface. Mother decided to let her live to use later to galvanise Daughter.
mothers point wasn't just that saving multiple people for the price of one was the right answer, it was that there are more factors than that like when the daughter ask if she knew the people and if they were good or bad.
Or if they're willingtoo...
If you're going to kill some random healthy person living a good life for their organs to give to the sick people, then no. I think this does happen. People kidnapped with their organs removed and sold
Almost 100% correct. The only thing you did not mention is that the Droid is not dead ... She killed one droid but she controls many more .. and that is what we learned when we see the droide killing the other woman.
It was done symbolically as passing the torch, daughter is the mother bow of the new humanity.
Looking at the world as it is now
I oddly sided with mother
2020 Edit: I still 100% side with mother more then ever...
It's of no use. The world has been reborn many times 1000's of years before our time. Humans keep doing the same mistakes over and over.
Soleil Magica oddly I can believe that theory as I feel like we are now being ushered to our destruction.
Mitsy2k so you wouldn’t mind everyone with you included, your whole family and friends dying to make way for the next civilization?
@@RicoStark everyone dies
@@RicoStark Right now their won't be a earth for the next civilization.
Do I want to die??? not really, Do I want my children to die??? Of course not!!!
But I can't help that think if their was a choice put in front of me: Save the earth and start humanity again by destroying us or Destroy the earth and make humanity extinct just to allow us to continue to hate, murder, destroy and wage war against one another for another couple of 100 years
I know which one I would choose
Probably the best Netflix movie.
The little prince was good too
I am mother, Annihliation, and Bird Box was good movies
Annihilation is the best.
Annihilation isnt on netflix no more ?
Polar is awesome too if you haven't seen it. Also check out Calibre
The thing that bother me the most was the ethic test scene, when Mother asks to Daughter to choose between 1 human that can be easily saved and 5 other humans that needs the organs for transplant. I think that in that scene Mother get some hints about Daughter's way of thinking, when Daughter tell Mother that she is not sure about the need to save five lives against one Mother taunts her asking : "does not life has value in itself?". A "old" human would have answered "yes, life has value in itself" but the truth is that Mothers think that the lives of the countless humans that she killed were without value, because they were "imperfect". The fact that Daughter thinks in the same way is the proof that the girl is a successful experiment.
Tbh I was on mother side the whole movie I never thought the daughter was doing the good thing
The movie could also be interpreted as 1 child assessing what could or could not become of herself. 🤔
Hold my axe
I disagree. I was rooting for the daughter the whole movie, and wanted her to leave
Za'kiyah Johnson same
skkssks im dead
Such a better explanation than Looper has. Easy to understand and follow. Thanks for not robotically casting off a recap without really explaining.
I enjoyed the movie 🙂
Same!😉
It was amazing
*Woman is the first embryo, mother asked “tell me, do you remember your mother”. Suggesting that mother is womans mother.*
As sinister as mothers plan was, I felt almost obliged to side with her. It was said that the remnants of humanity in the mine were brutal and savage, so mother wasn’t completely wrong. What was good and kind of humanity has since been destroyed.
Now that the Earth has been “reborn,” the only hope left is to help mother create this new and better humanity. So oddly, she is the best option.
And yet "the village " comes to mind. You can't keep evil out. It will come out from within because humans are sinners. After eve took that bite, just in that first generation, the first murder took place within brothers. Both were probably raised the same and yet one killed the other. So, robot thinks it can "fix" the problem by eradication? It'll just be a matter of time before it starts up all over again.
I do think however that this is one if those Gnostic films. The robot is supposed to be symbolic of God and is portrayed as a destroyer. Tjough in reality it's closer to a Satan figure as he is the one who wants to destroy mankind. I could go on, but I'm tired now.
The droid didn't want to be left alone with no humans left on the planet, she didn't want to accept humans leading themselves to complete extinction. Therefore she would carry out a brutal dictatorship, murder all the remaining humans, and breed new ones in hope that their destructive nature would remain tamed. I don't see it as an ethically justified plan nor a realistic one.
Being the last people on Earth hunted by sinister robots would drive anyone mad.
I was low key on mother’s side the whole movie lol
@@rachelm712 Same, lmao.
That daughter didnt just bust that babies eardrums and blind him at the same damn time.
Woman was the first human. She is 37 years old.
Mhm and this means daughter is about 28. They screwed it up
@@JdawgTheBoss - No. There were 3 total humans born.
I also figured Woman is the first one and escaped, the second one got killed and the third one is Daughter.
@@cjzanders5430 3 total daughters born in the course of 13,800ish days. That is 39yrs roughly. So if you do the Math, APX 01 got taken away as a baby at the age of 2. So 0+2=2
Apx 02 died at seven, so 2+7=9
Then 9+12=21
Then 21+18=39 yrs
It sais 13k roughly days after extinction event so that leaves 30 years left after the two are born, and their stories unfold.
Daughter is about 18, so that means mother waited 12 years then had daughter.
APX 1 given away at age 1, APX two killed at age 7, APX 3 is 18 so the only possible way is after APX 01 and APX 02 is born, she waited 12 years. Then had daughter. Its really simple basically. Because daughter was literally born 13.8k days after the rest, and when it skips to her 13k days later she is about 18.
Flukeyy - Daughter wasn’t born 13.8 k days later, that’s just when the timeline for her starts at 18 like you say at the end oddly. That also doesn’t mean she was 28 like your original comment.
At the beginning of the movie, APX02 applies more stickers on the Mother.
Later in the movie, most of the stickers have been removed.
How rude.
Mother cleaned up after clone2. Clone3 only applied a few stickers.
Thank you for this video its much more explanatory than the other ones❤
Thanos: kills off half of the world to save the other half
Mother: *HOLD MY EMBRYO*
Lmao
Also, this is a repost
She killed all of humanity not the universe
Byrnes voice reminded me so much of the other mothers voice from coraline creepy af but perfect
Coraline mother was Teri Hatcher. Quite a different actress.
Matthew Harris-Levesque learn to read. Not once did I say it was the same actress
@@Jo-chilin My point is that they don't sound anything alike: They are quite different. You did say "reminded so much" so ...
I definitely agree and got the same vibes from the voice actor of Mother
But what I want to know is, *what happened to the dog??!*
Yup, I definitely missed some things. I would not have understood the movie without this. Thanks!
Love this movie. The morality of the ending is totally grey. Brilliant movie.
Well the morality is grey if you believe that killing everyone to produce a master race is the best way to save humanity..
This was a great analysis. You sir just got yourself a new subscriber 👋🏾
Honestly, this is one time mother has a point...
you say this until you're apx05
I think woman was a "daughter" when she asked her "do u remember your mother" before the isn't it ironic line.
Short and precise. Thank you for this video
I did the math regarding the days and i was like "wait a minute "
RykerDavis me too! I was really confused but this explained it all for me
So basically Netflix have decided not name their actors (Birdbox: girl/boy. I Am Mother: daughter/mother/woman) 😂.
Hey! That’s apox3 to you buddy.
XDD
This movie is Wall-E meets Fallout Portal XD
I thought that too just glad im not alone.
I mentioned to a friend this reminded me a lot of Portal as well, along with System Shock. Glados’ voice is very similar to Mother’s too.
.....meets 'the wizard of oz', meets the 'gods of mars' meets.....
The best (philosophical) explanation I've seen so far.
I liked this movie a lot, the part when mother shut the door and said u may have had a purpose, but no more. That part was sooooo chilling
Ok, I need something cleared up. Is Woman Apex 01?
I thought the two characters looked strangely similar to begin with.
And with the info we got from woman (She being an orphan) and the lines we got from Mother:
- "Do you remember your mother?"
- "Curious isn't it that you survived this long where others have not."
- "Almost as if someone had a plan for you, until now..."
It seems like this is the case.
On top of that, if Apx 01 survived then she would be 37 years old almost 38 or 13,867 days which is literally the age area of Woman....
Also, Woman seemed to know who Mother was strangely early on in the movie when she first met Daughter and talked to Mother like she knew her at the end before she was killed.
Meaning literally everything was planned by mother. Even the bones being found by daughter ( isn't necessarily Apx 01 but could have been Apx 02 killed intentionally to drive Daughter away when found so she could leave with Apx 01 to see her living conditions but more importantly see what old humans were like. Aka selfish, primal, illogical.)
Lastly, (On a side note) I just wanted to say I don't think the droids are the ones that cause the human extinction event at all.
I believe humans did it to themselves somehow and the droids (Mother) activated and began cleaning the earth but yet decided to get rid of the remaining humans to make way for ones that were not "infected" with prejudice and divisive belief systems that could be taught and shared.
Part of my reasoning for that is because of the religious fundamentalism showed by Woman being raised by survivors of the extinction event. Despite how morally religious she believes she is, she shows no remorse for using others to save herself, something that definately goes against mother's philosophy of life. And honestly most religions would.
I actually fully think she is. The connection was fully made for me when mother asked her as the end about her knowing her own mother and admitting she kept her alive.
Yeah, I also think that Mother might have just accelerated extinction but not caused it
@The Missing Link Humans certainly could have had an extinction event unaided (we’re causing a slow motion one right now) but probably not one day. Mother says “The failure of your species was inevitable. Eventually I would have been left alone.” Not “was” but “would have been”. So the AI did take action of some kind. Maybe it hacked the election databases and had unusually incompetent, ignorant, and violent humans put into positions where they could do the most damage in the shortest time.
@@edbouhl3100 Interesting remark.
Thank you for explaining the film I did enjoy the film but was confused by some bits of it, which you have explained, thank you
Fantastic explanation! So good. Thank you. I sure need these.
When I was watching this movie, the scene where Daughter is questioned on the morality of “saving many people by killing one person” reminded me of how they do this in real life with people who are in a vegetative state/have been in a coma and have no chance of recovery. It seems kinda gruesome, but at the end of the day, they saved many people’s lives with their organs.
This movie’s central theme seemed to revolve around sacrifice and humility. Jesus Christ seemed to have done that in the Bible - and his death could be represented by the wipeout of humanity and his resurrection could be symbolized by the fact Mother bot was cultivating the perfect human race. We also have to keep in mind that she was collectively made by people who had this in mind - so I imagine that her creators also favored philosophy and making a lot of references to sacrifices. The whole movie also explored heavily into the true morally grey outlook on how humanity acts. This movie was well put together and it didn’t spoon feed it’s plot to you. It makes you think.
yupp
lol you have to sign up to be an organ donor for that, they don't just pull the plug willy nilly. the decision to declare someone as brain dead
just finished watching and came to youtube to search for "ending explained" and its right there on the first page. didn't even need to look for it. haha how convenient. Love the video and I have a better understanding now.
The internet is Mother, hehe, she knows what you were going to search🤔
Eliza McFarlane hahahahaha I know right! 😂
@@suzeeh2216 Lmao)
Well explained, just straight to the point. Thank you!
Thx for not taking forever to explain this .... thx
um i'm not sure exactly why so many of y'all are missing this - perhaps it's because of how you think through your own intentions/process, but anyway:
when mother says "mothers need time to learn how to raise a child", it's not a weak or thoughtless comment, nor is it specifically about apx-03 needing time. this quote directly informs us of mother's process and is also supported by moments in the rest of the film where mother says things like 'your failure would be more a reflection on my competence' (paraphrasing here) - in other words, whether you fail or not tells me if i need more time or not / if i need to intervene, begin again, and observe further.
mother's fundamental intention with humans is consistent throughout the movie, even as what we learn about the methodology changes. mother is intending to craft humans who show a high percentage match of learning how to not be shitty, the problem of that being .. you're never exactly sure that humans will not falter again. mother could very well pass through 60,000+ embryos, teaching and observing, refining techniques of how to raise conscious, caring, and able humans and continually adjusting towards some higher ideal. continually studying the humans and perhaps finding that, eventually, they do return to their original faults.
i expect this is absolutely the case, that mother will continue observing apx-03 and will intervene if seems necessary, which it likely will; i think the theatrics of mother "going away"/dying was really to help apx-03 initiate fully into the role of being a new "mother" to the coming humans, to demarcate a transition, because - if we actually pause to consider the effect of this happening - not really anything happened; mother is everywhere.
mother remains, and observes.
So true. Mother is really Big Brother. She has not gone anywhere. This is just another phase in her social experiment.
Thank you for telling us about this Uber fascinating movie 🎥 I look forward to seeing it.
When the woman was holding the tracking device and looking up to seeing Mother standing outside the container was chilling.
This is a very refreshing and insightful video! I'm so glad this didn't turn out to be an annotation of the whole film with no insights, as so often the case with these 'ending explained' channels 🙈
I love UA-cam bits like this, when I no longer have the patience (or money ^_^) to view the actual shows, but still just interested enough to get a synopsis of what it was all about.
APX 01 is the woman that comes to the bunker
Wow you mentioned so much stuff I missed. I need to rewatch this
I like your video on explanation of I am mother, I didn't picture this title could be seen as a metaphor.
I'm glad I went in without knowing anything about this movie. Almost everything about this movie was amazing, Idk about you but theirs something about the actress who played daughter that was so mesmerizing to me. Netflix keeps on getting better with all the movies/shows they've been buying, must be nice working for that company. Dope Video bro, keep it up!
Also, this ties in perfectly with the concept of the Matrix (which interestingly enough means "The mother" or "The womb") Where the original or real humans are fighting the robots and the new humanity is bred and programmed under the control and supervision of the AI.
Matrix is when everything can coexist. All humans in the matrix are a program with a body outside able to create life.
What if in this simulation we're also being tested aswell just like daughter? By the AI. There's so much information that correlates to this
This was a great video. Thank you.
Incredible that this is Australian Grant Sputore's first film. He also wrote the story and co-wrote the script. Looking forward to his future films.
Excellent analysis, picked it up as I watched it. Netflix has broken the movie studio Wheel, keep it up!
Man this movie had so much depth and detail it was honestly amazing the amount of thought went into this it’s like you really want the villain (mother) to win bc she’s so right her philosophy is just wow
Thanks for helping to explain.
Thumbs up from Rep Ireland 🇮🇪
I would be down for a sequel/ prequel. The origin of a hive mind AI driven by philosophy is fascinating.
yea but that just ruins it. Use your imagination for once lol, you don't need everything layed out for you. XD
@@majorphysics3669 Why does it ruin it?? I have lots of imagination, but I would still love to see someone else's ideas because, duh, that's why we watch fillms like this. What a stupid comment majorPhysics.
albo181 wow, thanks lol. Sequels almost always suck.
I think in matrix, animatrix, alien: covenant and prometheus u can have a glimpse of in idea about the origins of AI aswell as the philosophy context behind it.
I, as one of The “Terminator” generation, really enjoyed the new spin on the Skynet philosophy. It was predictable yes, but I liked this movie!
yah, i remember skynet, wiping humanity and lead to human vs droid, terminator
"The Hardest choices require the strongest wills" and Mother had a strong will within her.
Thank goodness for this... I've redeemed the time I took to watch this! Now I get it. Ugh! Thanks! 😄💕
I just finished seeing the movie. wow incredible and your explanation was helpful
In Germany you had the same movie plot called I am führer.
Lmao
Nearly 70 years later... still no sequel or reboot.
Another point, if each of the 20 eggs are a clone of a single person (there were APX 15 in the shots seen of the embryos) and there are 63,000 embryos in each Birth Lab, Mother is looking to raise 3,150 people in that single lab to repopulate. She has 20 tries each time.
Damn...I missed all of this! Thanks for the explanation. It ended weird, so I didn't understand. Wow...I thought there would be a part two!
thx for making this video
the movie was still good and i enjoyed watching it nice job 😀
i'd like to see another movie of this where it follows the new world of these 'special' humans.
wouldn't humans constantly repeat same mistakes regardless of possessing a higher intelligence seeing as morality and ethical judgement is largely determined by emotion anyway? or would the idea be that a special human intelligence would outweigh emotional decision making?
i don't fucking know anymore tbh i'm tired and my head hurts.
Great movie though.
i suppose a world without religion would already eliminate a major portion of current problems anyway. oh how i'd love to be part of THAT world.
Thank You for Explanation! confess - I did not understand it myself
Wasn’t expecting that existential crisis at the end but thanks 😳
Proof that Woman is APX 1 is that woman had seen "The Tonight Show". She said she'd seen it long ago... After the "Extinction Event" where would she have seen that show? I definitely think woman is APX 1.
Yes definitely woman is APX 01, APX 02 was dispose off and APX 03 is daughter.
yes, she most definitely is APX 1 but she was found as a baby by humans. Mother left her to be found and raised by humans as an experiment to show APX 2 how horrible and self destructive humans had become. APX 2 failed her exam and failed to prove she was capable of becoming a "perfect human", so was killed by mother. APX 3 (daughter) did well, therefore mother gave her the final test, seeing for herself the unperfect lying APX 1 raised by humans. Mother purposely shot APX 1 and lead her to the bunker, she wanted her to interact with APX 3 (daughter) so she would become determined to raise perfect humans, this works. APX 3 ( daughter) has learned and can now take over mothers task to raise perfect humans in the bunker, APX 1 has served her purpose so mother no longer needs her so she is killed. Mother can continue creating the perfect earth and daughter can continue creating the perfect humans.
A question of morality is one of the hardest to answer. Neither humans or artificial being can answer it with no consequences.
thank you for the explanation of the ending. I just finished watching it on netflix. Your explanation make s sense now.
coool not i dont have to watch this movie today, was just about to click on it but the preview explained the movie, so i was just missing the ending \m/ thanks uploader you definitely saved my life sum time \m/
This movie was fantastic! I honestly want a sequel.
I watched this tonight with very low expectations, given that it's a Netflix movie. My track record with their movies had been awful before. Until tonight-this movie turned out to be pretty good.
Thank you for this explanation. ☺
TY that really helped
I couldn’t choose to make that sacrifice. Who is to say another issue wouldn’t arise with another organ? Another must be sacrificed for the other?
Unless the organ already exists, in my mind, we should just let them go and as comfortably as we can make them.
This is coming from someone whose sibling died from liver failure. He was better off gone than everything he had to go through to attempt to save him.
It's a similar quandry as the Prime Directive in Star Trek, or more pressingly, the Abortion Debate in America. The weighing of the Many versus the One, and the Present versus the Future.
I can say, academically that i would choose the Many in the Present. If one must die, for many to live, then so be it. But in the moment, if i ACTUALLY had to make that choice? I'm not sure if i'd be able to hold to that academic stance.
But god damn if i don't love movies that explore those sorts of difficult questions.
Very strong point.
Loved it! Finally a good movie on Netflix.
It is very stunning movie. I liked the way how mother tried to renew the world and finally, it was successful in the movie. Your explanation is nice too.
thank you for this!
