i want to preface this review by saying that i have no idea what begotten is truly about. all i really know is that in the beginning god kills himself and in turn birthing mother earth and who proceeds to impregnate herself with god semen. she then births a son. the rest is pretty subjective and and you have to interpret it in your own way. how i chose to interpret the film was this while god killing himself signified the start of the scientific revolution and when people started questioning the doctrines imposed by the church and like the geocentric view of the universe and etc. mother earth symbolized people starting to think for themselves and reject the church it happens like this because god says so views. the tribal people were the church lashing back at them and trying to force christianity down their throats. i am not exactly sure how son of earth fits into all of this. mother earth and the tribal people seemed to be fighting over him and so maybe he represents the freedom of people or something to that effect. i have no idea what the final parts of this movie are supposed to mean. bludgeoning and raping and then dismembering mother earth and son of earth and grinding them into the ground like a mortar and pestle could mean anything and but that is where the fun of this film lies while you can interpret it any way you want. there doesn not have to be a definitive meaning to it and you can let your mind wander. sometimes you do not even know what you are supposed to be looking at because it is shot in a weird angle or it is too fuzzy. the only thing that disappointed me was that i was expecting a truly terrifying film. i was going into it thinking i was going to get a phone call immediately afterward with a foreboding seven days warning. what i got was pleasantly different. it was not scary at all and but it stirred my imagination. trying to decipher the movie cryptic message was a creative challenge. there were many scenes that were in fact beautiful. mother earth just after she was born and the final shot of the forest path come to mind. so overall i would have to say that i thoroughly enjoyed this film. it is certainly the most abstract movie i have ever seen and but that not a bad thing.
