I Origins (2014)
7/10
HALF ROMANTIC HALF EXISTENTIAL
20 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It's a deep movie with some artistic and religious references all around the film. Even the main characters are like the opposites: The science man vs. the spiritual woman.

Besides, there are a lot of symbolical meanings of the objects to explain the "holy" meaning of things. For instance, opening the door at the end of the film represents opening yourself to the other side of the world just like Sofi said in the bedroom scene.

And also the obvious elevator scene which represents the main connection between the indian girl and Sofi can be explained in this way too.

These scenes are very impressive of course, however in general, the whole plot changes when Sofi dies in the middle of the movie. That's why the first part of the film feels like a romantic movie but the second part is a scientific adventure movie which is absolutely weird.

I wish that the storytelling of the movie was based on a more strict and direct narrative. Because of this, i lost the interest in the whole structure of the movie.

It could have been a cult film, i'm deeply sorry for that it obviously not.
