★Synopsis
"I
am Mother" is an Australian science fiction suspense movie, directed by
Grant Sputore, starring Hilary Swank, Clara Rugaard, and Rose Byrne. The movie
tells that after the world fight, in order to make human reproduce again, a
robot named "Mother" successfully cultivated the first new-generation
human daughter, and the two lived in a stable life in the base. But one day a
wounded mysterious woman suddenly broke into the base, completely subverting
their perception of the outside world over the years.
★Human
can be better
Science
fiction has always been my personal favorite movie type. In addition to relying
on visual effects and dramatic plots to satisfy unknown imaginations, the core
of the story and the creative background are mostly of profound significance
and connotation.
It can be seen that although the mother asked the daughter who
to choose the side and judge whether she should believe in robots or outsiders,
and become the storyline that humans hope for the last time, but if you think
carefully about the story, you can find the theme of the movie far deeper than
we can see on the surface, in this movie we explore the fundamental values of
morality, humanity, and life through the daughter's choices.
★Unknown world
When
watching this movie, many bridge sections made me think of another sci-fi
thriller movie "10 Cloverfield Lane" with an underground bunker. One
of the main characters lived in the facility from an early age. The other was
unconscious in a car accident at the time of the disaster and couldn’t get in
touch with the outside world. He only learned the truth about the world by
speaking unilaterally.
What's interesting about this type of movie is that in
the case of limited information, the audience no longer watches the entire
event from the perspective of God, but stands on the same footing as the
character, and finds out the hidden secrets behind the scenes as the plot
progresses.
Although
"I am Mother" has amazing special effects technology, the movie
format is actually very small. There are few big scenes that we generally think
of science fiction movies. It simply focuses on the performance of the daughter
facing the problem and slowly throws out the conflict and contradiction between
the words of "mother" and "woman" let the audience choose
the things we want to believe from the message provided by the movie with the
daughter.
In some extent, "I am Mother" is a bit like the concept of
dystopian movies. People's minds have been restrained from an early age. They
mistakenly believe that they live in a perfect environment and then the more
they dig, the more truth they find is scary. But that means real really?

★The choice dilemma of moral
Just
like dystopian movies have always been very serious but most of the works only
describe the characters who want to break through the status quo, and almost
never have thought deeply and explored the question: "What if this system
is really necessary for humans?" This movie focuses on this point and
ponders deeply.
It cooperates with the unknown outside situation to deepen the
contradictions in the character's heart. Through the various reactions and
behaviors of the character, it gives the audience space for reflection and
thinking, and leads to the movie core theme about humanity.
As
in the first half of the movie, a train question was raised as an examination,
should this person be rescued? What else to do, sacrificing his life to save
the other five? Maybe we all have our own answer, but once we add other
assumptions, such as one of us is a family member or friend, we may end up with
very different choices.
This movie puts this deep philosophical issue into the
movie in order to highlight the selfishness and selflessness of human beings,
and turn the whole story into a test to judge "fit" or "not
fit".
★The Mother
In
the end, the lessons include the concepts taught usually, the first contact
with small animals, even the intrusion of outsiders, the confrontation between
the human and the robot, and the yearning and identification of similar people.
All of these were arranged by Mother as the original title "I Am
Mother", allows her daughter to learn step by step how to be a mother and
take on the mission of regenerating and thriving for human beings. To help
unite the group's centripetal force to help each other, even in troubled times,
it can show the central idea of human warmth.

★Acquired teaching and learning
Interestingly,
the daughter No. 1 was put into the outside world by her mother at an early
age, forming a real human character that distrusts people and places her own
emphasis on everything. Daughter No. 2 didn’t reach the standard and was
destroyed during childhood. Daughter No.3 finally met the standard because of
"mother learning" and successfully lived to grow up.
This shows that
the development of human character has an absolute relationship with the
background of growth and education. Now, in which direction should we work hard
after socialization? It is a question that what kind of ideas is appropriate to
give the next generation. Although there is no absolute answer, I think it is
supposed be considered.
★Conclusion
On
the whole, "I am Mother" starts from the biggest difference between
humans and machines, that is, everyone's free thinking, individual differences
and imperfections, let the original trust extend the reversal into the
discussion of human nature.
The movie didn’t give a standard answer at the end.
Instead, it gave the audience a lot of space for thinking. Is life equal or
different? Can we take the lives of a few to save the majority? These unsolvable
puzzles are the movie which is the most attractive place.
