Brief review
serial number
The first appearance of the embryo contains 2 key pieces of information: 1. Female 2. APX01
Then the mother showed the embryo to her daughter, but it was male (off topic: the number starts with APY, which is different from the female APX, it can be seen that X/Y is used to indicate chromosomes), at this time, the audience naturally defaults that the heroine is APX01
until the daughter's number appears
The truth emerges, the daughter is not APX01, not even the second child (APX02)
APX02: failed
As for APX01, near the end, "Mother" meets the woman in the container, and her words are intended to wake up the woman and the audience
In fact, the foreshadowing has already been laid, and the picture above is from the beginning of the film. 13867/365≈38 (years old), and the visual age of women just fits.
lullabies
At the beginning of her daughter's birth, the "mother" switched songs many times until this one, successfully comforting her daughter:
It's also a song for a daughter to comfort her brother
The daughter takes over the identity of "I am a mother" from the "(mechanical) mother" and completes the inheritance
religion
The setting to show the audience her belief in religion, echoes the image below
The Virgin Mary is placed in the container where the woman lives. The New Testament says that Mary was inspired by the Holy Spirit and became pregnant when she was a virgin. The setting of this film is similar.
"Mother" does not replace daughters (i.e. human beings) from beginning to end, but wants to nurture new human beings, new mothers. When the robot is on the right track, the robot has already started to farm, irrigate, and purify the air. On the other hand, the woman looks like a populist.
