I Am Mother Ending Explained: What You Need To Know About The Story

Mothers are indispensable creatures of nature. Rudyard Kipling said that since God cannot be with us everywhere, he created Mothers. Speaking about mothers reminds us of the bond that we share with them. It is mesmerizing right? Based upon this, giving it a scientific turn, producers and directors brought to us the 2019 movie I Am Mother. If you are confused about the ending of the movie, you have come to the right place. Here, we have explained the ending of the movie so that you do not find it difficult to understand. 

I Am Mother Ending Explained: Wiping The Confusion

Okay, so the ending of the movie is a bit confusing, but not completely you see. In simple words, whatever the Mother robot was doing, she has been now taken over by her human Daughter. Now, in the movie, the mother is named the Mother, and the daughter is named the Daughter. Yes, it may sound funny, but this has some logic to it considering that there are hardly any humans left on the planet anymore to give any fancy name to the robots. 

The ending of the film suggests that Daughter has taken up her Mother’s responsibilities, and now she will be taking care of the growth of the new human civilisation. The stranger, towards whom Daughter was seen to be sympathetic, is no one but one of the children of the bunker. Hence, you know why the woman found Daughter the way she did. In fact, it was the purpose of the stranger to test the Daughter whether she had feelings of kindness or was sympathetic or not. Such feelings are required when you are trying to raise an individual let alone a whole civilisation. 

Are Mother And The Stranger Alive?

Everybody has this question if Mother and the Stranger are alive by the end of the film. Let us first get this clear that Mother’s robot body was destroyed, but her AI model was still functioning. But she did not help Daughter raise the humans anymore. Daughter had been left on her own. For the Stranger, she was not alive anymore. She was destroyed by the AI model because she completed her task and emerged successful in it. However, the situation of the Mother AI model may seem to be a bit ambiguous. The AI model kept on surviving but the body of the robot, that it once possessed, is no longer there anymore. As for the Stranger, it is confirmed that she is not alive by the end of the film.

Why Mother Exterminated The Humans?

Mother carried out the extinction event on planet Earth. This sounds horrific, but she had no other means because in this film we are talking about a time when humans, themselves, were destroying one another. Hence, the robot took it upon herself to build a human civilisation that would be kind, sympathetic, and not monstrous. Therefore, Mother did what she did to form a new world of kinder and more intelligent human beings. 

Is Daughter A Robot Or Human?

Daughter is a human. She was born from a human embryo. Like previous embryos, she was brought up by Mother so that she can re-introduce the growth of a human population that would be better than the previous one. She was born for a purpose. We see that Mother was successful in ingraining the correct set of morals and ethics into her. When she passes all the tests that Mother designed for her, she was finally chosen by the robot to start nurturing a new generation of humans. This movie teaches us that we should be kinder and more sympathetic towards each other, only then can we form a habitable world.
