Mothersendiri pada akhirnya menyeritakan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi menjelang filmnya berakhir, ketika salah satu droidnya mendatangi rumah (kontainer) Woman dan berbicara dengan menggunakan suara Mother. Ketika Mother menutup pintu rumah atau kontainer Woman, bisa dipastikan secara jelas bahwa Mother membunuh Woman.
Moms can be tough — but the apocalypse can be tougher. Netflix's new sci-fi movie I Am Mother, the first feature from Australian director Grant Sputore, is a stripped-down story about trust, faith, and an intimidating WETA-designed robot with a sweetheart's voice and, just maybe, the parental instincts of your average Terminator. Following a limited cast that includes Clara Rugaard, Hillary Swank, and the voice of Rose Byrne recording her lines over an ace physical performance by actor, stuntman, and SFX designer Luke Hawker, I Am Mother is a story of shifting allegiances and slow reveals, layering on the twists at an even clip until it's hard to know what to believe anymore. What's the true nature of this frightening future world? What drove a seemingly benevolent robot to raise a human child as her own, and what was the meaning of where it all led? If you were too stunned by the spectacle to catch every detail of the movie's denouement, it's hard to blame you. Let's examine the finer details of the bittersweet ending of I Am Mother. Future shock The movie begins in what is described as a Repopulation Facility, one day after an extinction event of unknown nature. Text over the opening shots explains that the facility is stocked with 63,000 human embryos; save for the audience's observing eye, there are no humans inside. In a largely wordless opening sequence, the robotic Mother comes to life, seemingly ready to begin the hard task of repopulating the world. It's an interesting scene to go back to once you've seen the movie, and you realize that this robot and the extinction event have a whole lot in common with each other. She's not a failsafe in the case of extinction — she's the cause of it, and Mother is but one of her many faces. Mother doesn't come to life out of some automated altruism. She's a madwoman of a machine — Skynet meets the Matrix meets a metal Mommie Dearest, executing a single-minded plan to remake the human race to suit her own needs and twisted logic. All of this is on display at the start of the movie; you're just not inclined to notice at first. Rose Byrne has a very soothing voice, and caring for a baby with not just nutrition and shelter, but bedside stories and time for play makes the robot seem implicitly compassionate. But these are merely superficial things that keep you trusting Mother long after you should have become suspicious of her, much like our protagonist, the unnamed Daughter character. Missing time The next time stamp we see in the movie marks 13,867 days since the extinction event. You may not have noticed it at first, but right away, there's something wrong here. 13,867 divided by 365 would make for almost 38 years, and Daughter at this time is clearly only half that age. This hasn't been a straight line from day one; something has happened that we haven't seen. As Amy Nicholson's review of the film for Variety puts it, "math whizzes may catch [this] early tip-off." What happened in those missing years before our protagonist was born? The answer, we learn, is tragic. When we're introduced to Daughter, she is nearing the end of her studies with Mother, preparing for an ambiguous exam, steeped at least partially in questions of human ethics. Passing the exam appears vitally important, but why? If Mother and Daughter are the only sentient beings alive, then who are these exam results supposed to impress? The answer is only Mother. By the end of the movie, the implication is clear there were children before Daughter, and they did not measure up. The Daughter we meet is only the latest attempt at raising a woman who passes Mother's muster. We can divine from Mother's actions, from getting better at telling jokes to trying out new cake recipes, that this machine learns from her mistakes, and adapts her behaviors in pursuit of better results. Will this exam end differently? For Daughter's sake, it'd better. Lies my teacher told me The first big wrench in the plot is the arrival of an injured woman at the facility, after Daughter has been led to believe that no other humans except her still exist. This occurs after Daughter has already begun to question Mother thanks to the presence of a mouse in the facility — and you know you're starved for company when a mouse in the house excites you. By the time the woman arrives, desperate and bleeding from a gunshot wound, tiny pinpricks have been poked in Daughter's understanding of the world — holes that the woman's presence, and the questions she raises, will tear wide open. For the first time ever, Daughter's allegiances are tested. Who should she trust? The woman says robots like Mother are killers who destroyed the world, but after examining the woman's bullet wound, Mother claims the woman was shot by another human's weapon — not a so-called Dozer like herself. When Daughter interrogates the woman, she's implored to seek out answers for herself, comparing the bullet inside the woman with one she shot at Mother. When Daughter does so, she learns the woman is telling the truth. Digging deeper, she uses Mother's "fingerprint" to comb through other archives, discovering that Mother has also kept the existence of a previous daughter from her — one she killed and incinerated, just like the mouse, after failing her exam. It's one heck of a reality check. Daughter's allegiances shift dramatically, and things can never be the same. Reality bites Daughter only hesitates in leaving with the woman because of her still-gestating brother, but circumstances force the two to leave in a hurry, before the baby is born. For this and other reasons, Daughter's salvation soon goes south. Daughter's departure is partially motivated by a promise of other humans still alive, taking refuge in far-off mines. The only proof of their existence is drawings the woman has made of them in a copy of Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Gods of Mars — compelling evidence, but hardly conclusive. In joining the woman, Daughter essentially trades Mother in for another maternal figure — one whom she quickly begins rebelling against when she realizes her story doesn't add up. Instead of fleeing to the mines, they journey to a beach full of washed-up shipping containers, one of which the woman has been using as a home. There are no others — she is alone. The woman reveals that she fled the mines years ago, with conditions being so dire that she feels certain everyone she knew there is now dead. From her drawings, it's clear she yearns for companionship. To regain it, she's selfishly stretched the truth, offering Daughter false hope in exchange for her fleeting trust. It backfires, with Daughter realizing that she had kind of a good thing going on back at Mother's house. Now now she's hanging out in a shipping container with a violent, duplicitous weirdo. This kind of thing can happen when you run away from home. Turning the page With the woman having betrayed Daughter's trust, she retreats outside of the shipping container, studying a page of the woman's hand-drawn portraits. Before long, the woman's dog — only the second animal Daughter has ever seen in the flesh — approaches to say hey, as dogs do, seeming to have little awareness of the apocalyptic conditions all around him. They share a moment, and Daughter comes to a decision. When she departs to return to Mother, Daughter leaves behind the page, folded up as a piece of origami in the shape of a dog for the woman to find. The origami piece is similar to the same designs Daughter has been seen making throughout the movie since early childhood, entertaining herself as best she can in a world without PlayStation. Though the folded-up portrait is now mostly unrecognizable, a single watchful eye is emphasized. To the viewer, the origami is a clear reference to a moment in the non-theatrical editions of sci-fi classic Blade Runner, when the protagonist Deckard is left a paper unicorn by a man who may have ties to his past. In that story, it's a roundabout way of indicating that Deckard may be just as much of a robot as the Replicants he's hunting — even if he doesn't know it. But what does the dog origami signify to the woman in this story? These are no pets. But without them... It all goes back to one of the first exchanges between Daughter and the woman, when the woman is healing up in the facility. Sneering at perceived condescension on Daughter's part, the woman asks if she only regards her as something trivial to take care of — "a little pet friend," as she puts it. Dogs are, of course, domesticated animals, who can be trained to behave as their owners expect them to. As the woman comes to find out by the movie's end, she's not so independent as she first appears. Matter of fact, she's not even close to being outside of Mother's control. As we learn at the end of her story, she's been kept alive and taken care of quite deliberately by Mother's machinations, all to play a role in her master plan for humanity's future. She's not a survivor of her own accord — as the origami seems to symbolize, she's merely a pet after all. But the woman's not just a pet, not really. She's a vital part of Mother's carefully designed ecosystem. When Daughter is watching a nature documentary earlier in the movie, a telling line of voiceover can be heard in reference to some wild animals, maybe long extinct. It's a short line, but in retrospect, it's clearly a reference to the woman "Part wolf, part dog, these are no pets. But without them, the Eskimos would not manage..." Homecoming When Daughter returns to the facility, granted easy access by the army of robots outside, Mother finally shows who she really is. She tries to bring Daughter into her trust by telling her that, thanks to her guidance, she's not like other humans. She's meant for better things, and has been provided better resources, more chances, than the people who once lived outside. It's a regular Aunt Becky situation. Daughter is unmoved, taking custody of her brother and spitting venom at Mother for killing the children who didn't measure up. Suddenly, we're in Terminator meets Aliens, with Daughter sprinting for her life while protecting a defenseless child from an unstoppable enemy. This attempt at escape quickly becomes untenable with the revelation that Mother is not just one robot, but all robots — a unified single consciousness, practically unkillable, an army unto herself. And you thought your mom was tough. Daughter abandons the fighting approach and instead begs for a chance to prove herself as an independent caretaker of her brother, pleading for trust. After all, she's earned it, right? She's passed her exam, right? The appeal works, and Mother acquiesces, stopping the invasion of the station from the other Dozers outside, and letting Daughter fatally shoot her right in her heart — or CPU. Daughter has earned her independence. The facility is hers. Controlled opposition Back at the beach, the woman, alone again, doodles a picture of Daughter on another book page in silent contemplation. Because her operational security is apparently kind of trash, she only just now finds a sort of blinking red tracking device that Mother has previously been seen building and slipping into her bag. Upon discovering the device, she is promptly approached and cornered by yet another body of Mother. As it turns out, it's the woman's turn to get a knowledge bomb dropped on her head, with Mother revealing that she's much more responsible for the woman's years of survival than the movie has yet let on. It is chillingly implied that she is not just a useful Idiot for Mother's machinations, but a creation of Mother herself, lab-grown and micromanaged just as much as Daughter has been. Perhaps she was among the first people Mother raised from the embryo stores, 38 years ago, before she was found and raised as an apparent orphaned child by a kindly couple of extinction event survivors. It seems that her arrival to the facility didn't interrupt Daughter's exam, but was actually a key part of it, with Mother having been pulling the levers this whole time from behind the curtain like a regular Wizard of Oz. She played her role to perfection — and now that Daughter has passed her exam, her continuing existence is unnecessary. She dies offscreen by Mother's hand, her role in the plan concluded. I'm the mother now I Am Mother ends with Daughter back where she started, but with her situation completely changed. She's learned the truth about Mother, to a certain extent, and knows she cannot trust her. But she's also now experienced and been lied to by the outside world as well. As Blink-182 once put it, "I guess this is growing up." Though her journey outside the facility with the woman was short, it was immensely consequential. Now she is, Daughter feels, a wiser person who's learned to trust herself — not the outside world, nor the robot who raised her. She'll pass this wisdom on to her brother, a helpless child whom she is now determined to raise. It's a development that re-contextualizes the story you've been watching, right down to its very title. She's the mother now. Make no mistake, though — this is far from an empowering ending, however much it may feel like one to Daughter herself. In killing and replacing Mother, she is only fulfilling Mother's master plan of creating a newer, better version of the human race. She feels independent, but she's not. This was all a part of Mother's plan. As the movie comes to a close, Daughter regards the thousands of remaining embryos in the facility, preparing for the daunting task ahead. Mother as she knows her is gone, but her plan lives on. No matter what Daughter does next, she will always be her Mother's child.

Pic credit Netflix The groundbreaking indie sci-fi film I Am Mother debuted on Netflix this weekend, bringing a fresh take on a tired robotic trope. The industry is oversaturated with movies and television shows involving robots attempting to take over humanity. I Am Mother manages to do something different by isolating the story and making it more personal. Moreso, the ending leaves a lot for the viewer to consider as the credits roll. I Am Mother is a movie that believes its audience is smart, and it doesn’t spoon feed them the answers. But still, some aspects of the movie’s conclusion are more ambiguous than others. What does the I Am Mother ending mean and what happened? Here is everything to know about the film’s mind-bending finale. Sign up for our newsletter! The film stars Rose Byrne as the robot named Mother and centers on her relationship with a girl she raised from embryo to birth called Daughter Clara Rugaard-Larsen. Through much of the first half of the film, the story portrays a convincing mother and daughter relationship between robot and human. This dynamic is thanks to a brilliantly understated vocal performance by Byrne as the mysterious robot. What the film reveals is humanity died off from disease according to Mother and Mother herself is tasked with repopulating the Earth in a protected laboratory. Her first embryo of choice being Daughter, who she feeds, trains, and educates to be a better human than the ones before her. However, this turns out to be untrue as a stranger only known as Woman emerges outside the laboratory bunker and Daughter lets her inside despite Mother’s warnings to keep the outside world from getting in due to toxic disease. What Daughter eventually learns is there was never a disease that killed humans — only robots controlled by a single consciousness powered by Mother. To make matters scarier, Daughter is not the first embryo girl Mother brought to life, and she finds ashes of previous “Daughters” Mother killed because they failed a test. Once this happens, Daughter escapes the laboratory bunker with Woman out of fear for her life. What happens to Daughter in I Am Mother? Pic credit Netflix After escaping, she follows Woman to a shipping container where she lives. At this point, and Daughter realizes that Woman lied to her about there being other survivors. The problem is that Daughter has a brother being born and refuses to leave him behind for her mortality. Woman stresses that looking after one’s self is not a sin. She can be selfish for her own survival. Daughter doesn’t listen and returns to Mother to rescue her baby brother. This is the moment the story becomes incredibly refreshing and different. As Daughter returns to the lab, she is greeted by Mother with open arms. Mother is still testing whether or not she raised Daughter correctly. As the film reaches its climax, Daughter confronts Mother, who is holding her brother. It’s at this point that Mother reveals why she did not kill her like the previous “Daughters.” She is more elevated than any other human before her. Daughter is more selflessly motivated and nurturing. Daughter manages to trick her robot mother into giving her the baby, runs, and traps Mother’s leg in an electric door. As Mother grows aggravated by her Daughter’s actions, she begins sending all the outside robots to break in and stop Daughter. Daughter than pleads with Mother to give her a chance to be the person she raised her to be, to allow her to restart the human race and teach the next generation of humans to be selfless as Mother intended. Knowing the daughter’s actions are not selfish, she calls off all the outside robots and orders Daughter to shoot her in the chest where her CPU chip resides. However, Mother hints that she will be around if Daughter ever needs her. Daughter says, “I won’t” and then kills Mother. What happened to Woman in I Am Mother? See below. Pic credit Netflix What happened to Woman in I Am Mother? This point of the film is where everything becomes a bit unclear. As the movie comes to a finish, it cuts back to Woman who is drawing a picture of Daughter in one of her books. Soon after, she finds a GPS tracker inside her bag, obviously placed there by Mother. She realizes Mother is standing right outside the shipping container door. Mother makes a menacing comment about Woman trying to steal her Daughter, and Woman explains she was never going to hurt the girl. Mother finally makes an interesting quip about Woman’s existence, saying “Tell me. Do you remember your mother? Curious, isn’t it? That you’ve survived so long where others have not. As if someone’s had a purpose for you. Until now.” Right after this, Mother slams the container door, and it is implied Woman dies. The reasons for this are not entirely clear but could fall under two different possibilities. The first possibility is that Mother was also testing Woman to see whether she could be selfless among humanity on the outside. The film implies Woman survived at the expense of others. This revelation could be why Mother felt the need to exterminate her existence. The second possibility is that Woman was intentionally placed on the outside to encounter Daughter and test whether Daughter would choose selfish behavior over anything else. Right after Daughter passed the test, Woman served her purpose, and Mother felt the need to rid her of ever trying to influence Daughter again. Either motivation proves that Woman was meant to serve a purpose, and once that purpose ended, Mother felt the need to end her existence. Woman’s ending is a sad one, and viewers have a lot to ponder. At what point do selfishness and self-protection collide? What is the responsibility of humanity when it comes to ensuring that future generations like Daughter flourish? Viewers have several questions worth debating. To consider the relationship between Humanity and technology, I Am Mother is worth a watch. I Am Mother is streaming on Netflix now.

NetflixThis post contains spoilers for Netflix's I Am happens when artificial intelligence rises up and destroys mankind, only to repopulate the planet in their image? With its new movie I Am Mother, Netflix flips this common sci-fi trope, aiming to not only answer that question but hold a mirror up to our society, giving us a look at our own preconceived notions surrounding motherhood, technology, and the perseverance of the human concept of "The Singularity" - a reality in which artificial intelligence surpasses humanity in intellect and power - is nothing new. We've seen tons of takes on this idea, from classics like 2001 A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner to blockbusters like the Terminator franchise to high concept shows like HBO's Westworld and Netflix's Black Mirror. We all know what it may look like when the robots revolt, but one thing we don't often see is the its opening frame, a title card reads "Days Since Extinction Event 001," setting the stage for something quite bleak to unfold. And it does, but not in the formulaic way you'd expect. I Am Mother, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival back in January, follows a lone robot in an underground bunker, giving the allusion that the world above ground is no longer fit for human life. We watch her - this robot is known as Mother and, yes, she comes with her own gender identity - as she sorts through a whole supply of human embryos before she chooses one to plug into the facility's system, soon birthing the first human girl into this brave new world. As Daughter grows, Mother is shown teaching her lessons on human nature and philosophy, positing noble values of honor and sacrifice into the young woman's mind. But as Daughter begins to express curiosity about the world outside of this glorified fallout shelter, posing some bigger picture-style questions about her own identity and where she fits into things, a strange woman sporting a gunshot wound appears at the bunker's door. Her introduction ends up throwing daggers of doubt at Daughter, causing the girl to further question everything she has ever learned about herself, about Mother, and about the Earth that exists outside these stories like these play out in a big-budget manner where a large cast and overpriced special effects can take away from the necessary human element. But that's not the case here. The majority of I Am Mother takes place in one setting and the cast sports just three actresses Rose Byrne as the voice of Mother, Clara Rugaard as Daughter, and Hilary Swank as the injured woman. The tiny cast, along with the sparse, mostly claustrophobic, nature of the film's setting, gives the movie a place to settle and breathe, embracing not only the big chaotic moments and there definitely are those but the quiet, thoughtful spaces in between. Given that Grant Sputore doesn't have a big roster of credits to his name, he displays some strong directorial chops here. It's a challenging feat to deliver an engaging story, with constant tension - the feeling of dread is consistent and steadily builds throughout the near two-hour running time - while maintaining a firm cohesiveness to the narrative, allowing the actors to build out their characters and handle their conflicts to a conclusion that is satisfying while the actors do their jobs well, the ending leaves major room for the audience to fill in the blanks. Yes, this is a futuristic tale of world-destruction, and subsequent colonization, by an enemy robot species, but the issues explored in I Am Mother go beyond this glaring reality. There's value to human life amid this apocalyptic hellscape, and the moral responsibilities that come with bringing a child into the world, along with the consequences that come from a parent's protective lies, paint an abstract, yet relatable, picture of the ongoing struggle mothers go through daily. Except, of course, most children in the real world aren't raised by murderous droids. Daughter eventually learns that Mother is not the loving parent she was raised to view her as. The bot may have been the one who brought the girl into the world, raised her, protected her, taught her valuable lessons, but it's revealed in the third act that Mother is just a technological shell, a cog in the greater machine, sharing a consciousness with countless other robot soldiers out there policing the planet. They may not be Star Trek The Next Generation's Borg, but their mission to dominate the Earth and raise a new generation of superior humans brings to mind hints of Hitler's "Ubermensch" and Blade Runner's "more human than human" motif. Needless to say, this idea of a policing body dictating how children are born and raised - it's eventually revealed that Mother incinerated a bunch of kids because they just didn't live up to certain quality control standards - feels a bit too relevant to the current issues of the day. NetflixRebelling against her own robotic parent, Daughter eventually follows the wounded woman and makes it out of the bunker alive. But the bleak wasteland that lays waiting outside these walls doesn't offer her any sense of reprieve. And when she learns that this stranger had been lying to her about the state of humanity's existence, that they're all alone in this post-apocalyptic maw, it doesn't take long before Daughter heads right back to the place she was Swank may be the biggest name attached to the project her performance here is fine, but the story is fully carried by Rugaard, who brings a nuanced, emotional vitality to her role. Byrne's vocal performance as Mother delivers a welcome feminine flair to the film's lead robot body, her subdued acting bringing a caring, yet ominous feel that permeates the whole thing, giving us major HAL 9000 the end, Daughter chooses the bunker over the world outside. Mother allows her to destroy her robot body, giving the young girl a moment of empowerment. But that beat is quickly replaced with the realization that she's the mother now - and it is her responsibility to look over the thousands of embryos, waiting in stasis, to be born. Does she follow the path she'd been groomed for since birth? That's all left up to interpretation. As the movie ends on the girl's face, she looks in on Earth's future human population. This ambiguous ending may leave many with a bad taste in their mouths, taking this final story twist as an anti-abortion message of sorts. But, when taking a step back, it feels as if I Am Mother is, like many science fiction films before it, warning us of the dangers that come with our growing dependence on technology, while assuring us of human nature's enduring drive to survive - and up here for our daily Thrillist email, get Streamail for more entertainment, and subscribe here for our YouTube channel to get your fix of the best in food/drink/ Pruner is a contributor to Thrillist.
