With the release of his directorial debut, Another Earth (2011), Mike Cahill established himself as a promising young director who is adept at fusing drama and science fiction into a strong presentation that includes insightful observations about science and technology. The filmmaker revisits the subject in I Origins, his most recent independent film, but adds religious overtones. Similar to his debut picture, the central theme of this one is love, which serves as the narrative’s structural backbone.

Review i Origins Movie

According to rumors, Ian Gray (Pitt), a molecular biologist, is completely fixated on irises. He studies the evolution of eyes so that animals like blind worms can have eyes and see their environment with the help of his lab assistant, Karen (Marling). While conducting his experiments, Ian encounters Sofie (Berges-Frisbey), a stunning woman with stunning eyes with whom he instantly falls in love. Unfortunately, a situation has divided the two. Seven years later, his wife Karen and he have made a significant discovery that has shocked the entire globe. With the arrival of their child, this couple’s happiness is even more full. Unexpectedly, the baby’s situation sent Ian on a spiritual quest that altered his perspective on life.

Concept of Science versus Religion

The characters Ian and Sofie stand in for the concept of science versus religion in the film Origins. Sofie is an energized person who thinks that everything has been planned by God, while Ian is a rigid person who opposes the idea of God. Each encounter and the way of life of the two are accompanied by Cahill’s special ability through “God’s intervention,” which he describes through the appearance of the number 11. (the number 11 has an important role in the film). The master number in numerology is the number 11, which stands for insight, originality, brilliance, and purity. The movie, which had its world debut at Sundance in 2014, also touches on reincarnation. This is reflected in several pivotal scenes in the movie and the decision of setting in India, where the majority of people are Hindu.

Although Michael Pitt (The Seven Psychopaths) has made every effort to portray his character, it must be acknowledged that when he discusses science in his position as a scientist, it still comes across as less convincing. This is inversely related to Brit Marling from Another Earth, who does a good job playing both the wife of Brad Pitt’s character and a scientist. Actually, Cahill created I Origins as a precursor to his movie I. The broadcast timetable for the movie hasn’t been determined, though.
