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. It is possible that Woman was a previous iteration, but one factor leads me to think it isn't. The embryo Mother removes on DAY 1 after extinction event is identified as APX01. The Daughter we see as a near adult and helping Woman, I will call APX 03, based on the identification on the test unit she used. We first see her is on DAY 13,867, almost 38 years after the extinction event. I take it that APX03 was the third iteration since there are three embryos missing from the female storage stack. Since the age of the character Woman is not defined, I think it is fair to say she could be older than 38, I think she looks older. Hilary Swank is 44. So it seems more likely that Woman was six years old when the extinction event happened. Which would make it entirely plausible she was familiar with The Tonight Show. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Netflix By Published on June 17th, 2019 Ending Explained is a recurring series in which we explore the finales, secrets, and themes of interesting movies and shows, both new and old. In this entry, we discuss the ending of I Am Mother. You can’t trust a robot. They’re not us. They’re them. We gave them life, and they’ll fight to keep it. In James Barrat’s Our Final Invention, the author warns that once artificial intelligence is achieved, self-preservation will kick in and our destruction will be their driving purpose. Even when they claim to have our best interest in mind, they’re likely to transform one of our cities into a meteor only to drop it upon us as a means of pressing the reset button. We see you, Ultron. Our pop culture has prepared us for the final war of man vs. robot. Filmmaker Grant Sputore has a different point of view. His feature debut I Am Mother streaming on Netflix proposes a machine with humanity’s perseverance at heart. As he told us, “What differentiates Mother from pretty much all the robots that we’ve seen in films of this nature before is that she’s motivated by a love of humanity and that she wants to do what’s right by the humans as opposed to how most movie robots are either worried about themselves or they’re worried about the continuation of their own species.” By the film’s climax, that love can be terrible and rather terrifying. Ease up on that hug mom, before you break that poor baby’s neck. In the film, an unknown extinction-level event has transformed the planet into a wasteland. Mother Rose Byrne operates inside a bunker built for the purpose of regrowing humanity from scratch. At the start of the film, we see her extract an embryo from a freezer containing hundreds more and nurture it into existence. Daughter Clara Rugaard matures under the robot’s strict guidance, adhering to the education presented and never questioning the knowledge. Until a Woman Hilary Swank who should not be alive comes knocking on their doorstep. The Woman’s story that others have survived beyond the bunker’s walls throws the relationship between Mother and Daughter into chaos, and the family unit is shattered. When Daughter discovers evidence a human jawbone inside an incinerator that Mother has raised but eliminated failed children before her, she begins to believe The Woman’s saga of survivors huddled deep within the Earth. In an effort to escape, The Woman takes Daughter hostage threatening to end her life if Mother does not open the bunker’s airlock. Mother agrees, and the two humans flee into the wilderness. There, Daughter discovers the existence of hunter-killer robots and stations seemingly designed to terraform the Earth. The Woman brings Daughter to her home, which is not deep within a hidden mine but in a furnished shipping container filled with sad little leftover trinkets. The Woman explains that she broke free from the other survivors ages ago and solitude is essential to a long life. Too many mouths equal betrayal and violence. Her pathetic revelation drives Daughter back to the bunker, which is now surrounded by robotic drones. They let her pass, and Daughter rescues her infant Brother freshly birthed from his chamber. Mother confronts Daughter. She discloses that the drones are just an extension of her intelligence. She goes on even further detailing how Mother was responsible for the extinction event. Humanity was racing to kill itself and the planet, and Mother came to the same conclusion that Ultron did under the programming of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner a global reset was necessary, but this time a strict understanding of morality and philosophy would prevent future humans from racing towards doomsday. Horrified, Daughter begs Mother to allow her to raise Brother and take control of the rest of the bunker’s embryos. Confident that her teachings have taken root inside Daughter, Mother concedes to the child’s demands. Daughter turns a shotgun upon Mother and exterminates the robot vessel. Back at The Woman’s shipping container, Mother appears in another body. The asks The Woman why she doesn’t remember her birth parents. Why was she able to survive so long alone? What is her purpose? Damn. The Woman is the first Daughter born from the bunker, or at the very least, an earlier iteration. She was always designed to test the most recent Daughter’s ethical education. Having completed that task, Mother slams the shipping container door, and the implication is that she will exterminate The Woman. There is no longer any point to her life. Earlier in the movie, we are privy to several classroom lessons between Mother and Daughter. The focus of the teachings centers around the greater good compared to the value of a single life. When Daughter returns to the bunker under the threat of death to retrieve her newborn Brother, she exhibits an understanding of Mother’s Spock-like logic. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Mother’s hope is that Daughter will guide humanity away from its selfish and suicidal tendencies. I appreciate Mother’s optimism, but what are the chances that Daughter can relay the warm logic of the greater good to her children, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren? Has Mother done enough to prevent humanity from tumbling to its demise once more? If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. I Am Mother concedes that Daughter is not the first experiment and in doing so surmises that she won’t be the last. If Daughter fails to pull humanity out of its infinite death spiral, then Mother will move on to Plan C or Plan Z as it may be. What separates Mother from Ultron or Skynet or HAL 9000 is her staunch faith that we can and will do better. Her ultimate goal is the preservation of humanity, and she’s going to do whatever she can to make sure that happens. Hopefully, she can figure that out before the heat-death of the sun. Or she may forever continue her experiment to space and beyond.

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. The ending of I Am Mother is one for the ages. Although most of the film is bleak and harrowing, complete with moments that resemble a horror movie, its ending is a story of hope, even if it’s just a tiny glimmer. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where most of mankind is wiped out, the story follows a young woman named “Daughter” Clara Rugaard raised in isolation by a robot named “Mother” voiced by Rose Byrne. I Am Mother editor Sean Lahiff, who worked with director Grant Sputore to assemble the film’s final cut, story, and tone, shares with Inverse his own take on the ending of I Am Mother for I Am Mother the end of I Am Mother, Daughter discovers she isn’t the first one raised by Mother. Daughter’s “predecessors,” like her, were raised to pass exams based on what Mother taught her in their formal classes. But in a hidden furnace that Daughter sneaks into, she discovers a harrowing Daughter learns, previous “Daughters” like her failed their exams and were killed. Their bodies are burned to ash, which leads Mother to “birth” another one from a large stock of embryos. Distraught, Daughter teams up with “Woman” played by Oscar-winner Hilary Swank to escape. But after learning that Woman was also lying to her — that a nearby village of people actually doesn’t exist — Daughter is compelled to return to rescue her newborn “Brother,” a baby born halfway through the who edited all of those story beats, has a pretty radical take on I Am Mother “I think Mother’s intentions were ultimately for the good of humankind as she saw it, according to her collective mind,” he tells Inverse."I think Mother’s intentions were ultimately for the good of humankind."Clara Rugaard stars as "Daughter" in Netflix's 'I Am Mother', streaming continues “This idea was presented in a classic conundrum in the classroom sequence near the beginning of the film, where Mother asked Daughter if she’d let one healthy patient die if their organs could be used to save the five other sick patients. “It set up Mother’s ideals and philosophical outlook on the preservation of humankind. I think these questions went a long way to help the audience feel involved and participate in the theological world which Mother has created for Daughter and the future of humanity.” Lahiff is a big fan of Mother. “Mother is a memorable character for the history books of science fiction,” he says. “I feel she sits alongside the practical marvels of Alien, The Terminator, and characters from the original Star Wars trilogy.”Mother, voiced by Rose Byrne, in Netflix's 'I Am Mother'.NetflixThe ending visual of I Am Mother, in which Daughter sings to a crying baby Brother in her arms, is also set up from the very beginning in the opening montage that depicts Daughter’s own birth.“An embryo raised to a child by a Mother robot isn’t something you see every day,” says Lahiff. “The Baby of Mine’ track which accompanies the montage added the perfect touch of levity to the opening of our first act and laid the seed for the emotionally charged rendition Daughter sings to her baby Brother at the film’s end.”I Am Mother is streaming now on Netflix.
