**PATREON EXCLUSIVE REACTION: Mother!** For any of you unfamiliar with the Legend's Movie Pick of the Month, this is where each member of the Legend's Tier recommends one of their favorite movies for a PATREON EXCLUSIVE reaction, then all the recommendations are compiled and a winner is drawn at random.

I want to extend a big CONGRATULATIONS to **Jon C** for suggesting October's winning film, 2017's Mother!. Jon has been advocating for this film for quite some time now, and all he would tell me is that it's "metaphorical".

I've provided the unblurred version up top via Streamable (just click the photo thumbnail), and the link for the blurred YouTube version can be found here: https://youtu.be/bLc2k2w7ShE. For those watching the YouTube version, remember that you'll need your own copy to sync up.

Thanks again to Jon C and all of you for your incredible support as always, and I hope you have a great rest of the day/night!

I'm so glad you did this one. It seemed like a movie that's a bit too creepy to watch alone, but I couldn't find anyone interested in watching it with me. Watching it "with you" solved that problem. 😁Thanks, Jon!

Jon

Still awaiting the YT edit :(

David vs. Film

Hey buddy! This one isn't going to be public on YouTube- the Legend's PIcks are Patreon Exclusives as of September :)

Jon

I forgot. Like the wife says, I dont listen :)

David vs. Film

Hahaha, nah- Very recent change so totally understandable. I was wondering when you were going to comment on it though- I've been waiting to hear your thoughts!

Jon

Who has the time to just watch movies because someone wants to hear our thoughts 🤣. I had started to watch it, but had to help with a mule and never got back. I try to watch it tomorrow lol

Jon

First off, are you going to show this to Marc? :) Second, yes, The Happening was God awful and gets worse everytime you watch it. Very good interpretation. So there is alot in the movie, and I'm not going to pretend to know or completely understand it all. The main gist is that Jennifer Lawrence is Mother Earth and Javier Bardem is God. It's kind of an interpretation/retelling/ bastardization of much of the Bible and humanity's destructive effect on the Earth. She adores Him in the beginning. The first man, "Adam"(he even has a rib removed, which is what was clogging the toilet), is the start of humanity coming between Mother and God, thus starting the downward spiral. "Eve" shows up after the rib is removed. "Eve and Adam" partake of the "forbidden fruit" in the study, "Garden", and banished from it. "Cain" killing "Abel" because he was the favored one...the baby, "Jesus", was handed over to zealots. God is soley seeking adoration and doing everything to get. I'm really sure if the powder directly means something. Overall it's part of a woman dealing with an abusive relationship. She thinks the baby is going to make things better so she stops with the "medicine." I usually don't care for movies that are too metaphorical,  but what I really love is the creativity and the acting. You feel exactly what J-Law feels every moment of the movie. I think if you had to edit for YT you'll have alot of "ahah" moments. "Inspired to write...naked." Isn't that how you write? That's how I always wrote...the people at the school's library didn't care for it too much. Really need to watch Red Sparrow. It's a well done movie, not amazing, but J-Law gives a great performance.
