Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

    mother!

    That movie fucked me up. I’ve seen some shit on the Internet and thought I was pretty calloused to graphic, depraved brutality. The ending of that movie is something I’ll never forget.

    I was warned that the end was intense and read the synopsis because I was curious. Even with the spoilers I wasn’t ready for it.

    I’d like to forget it, but not beyond “this was an extremely well made and moving movie. Never watch it.”

      Mother! has been on my watch list for years and this comment might be what pushes me to watch it tonight. Without giving any spoilers, does it have any scenes if sexual violence or rape?

        There’s no sexual violence but there is gruesome violence and cannibalism.

        mother! is definitely something I would expunge from my memory. I kept waiting for the movie to develop into a horror movie and instead it was

        spoiler

        Abrahamic religious analogy masquerading as a traditional horror movie.

        I felt very upset that I wasted my time watching that movie.

        Nope. At least none that I can remember.

        The only “spoiler” I’ll give is that you’ve probably heard this story before, but not in this way.

            Yeah…

            I kinda caught on to what was happening around the time the wife showed up. When the baby was born I knew something terrible was about to happen. I was not ready for happened.
