I Am Mother (2019) - Intellectually Deep and Very Philosophical - The Desert of the Reel - Jason's Choice #9

Jason is very excited to talk about 2019's I Am Mother. He could have talked about the many different ideas from this movie for hours. A film with three characters but a lot of big ideas. In the future when all humans are gone, a girl is raised by a robot named Mother. However, things may change for her when a mysterious woman knocks on the door, changing everything. Besides talking about the excellent use of its small budget and filmmaking techniques, we spend the entire episode having a fun philosophical discussion. We talk about whether Mother is "right," do human beings have intrinsic value, whether we can conceptualize a better world with imperfect people, what is reality, how much control we have in life, and, of course, ethics. All this and more! What a good movie! Email us your thoughts, opinions, ideas, and anything else at [email protected]
