Nobody can stop her love ‘Mother’

This movie is also a masterpiece of director Bong Joon-ho, who created Parasite. It is especially meaningful because it features Kim Hye-ja, Korea's representative mother actor, and is one of the few movies by famous Won Bin. I have already watched this movie about five times, but sometimes I want to watch it again because of the atmosphere it gives. 

1. The plot

The movie is about Dojun and his mother, who is 28 years old but still lacks something. One day, a girl is killed in the village, and Do jun is pointed out as the culprit. The mother, who believes her son to be impossible, runs around everywhere to clear her son's innocence, but Do jun's charges are getting stronger, and his mother's feelings are getting desperate. 

2. Actors and directors 

As I already mentioned above, Kim Hye-ja played the most important role as a mother and Won Bin played the role of a son. The director is Bong Joon-ho, famous for Parasite, and although it is an old movie, I would like to say that this combination of director and actor is incredible enough to never be seen again. Particularly, I would like to say that it is valuable because it is one of the few movies where you can appreciate the outstanding performance of actor Won Bin, who has not appeared in a movie recently. 

3. What to watch 

Most importantly, I think the acting of the actors is important, and since it is a movie that requires a little reasoning, there is a part where you cannot miss the tension until the end. Also, I would like to say that the dance that goes well with the movie music in the last scene is very impressive. Also, I would like to say that it is a good movie to think again about true motherhood after watching the movie. Also, I think the scene where actor Kim Hye-ja dances in the movie is a famous scene that implicitly shows all the stories of this movie. 

4. A personal review: 

I watched this movie before I gave birth, and I also watched it more than once as a real mother. I tried to understand how a mother felt when she chose her son without any conflict between her twisted love for her son and conscience. How far can I go to cover up my son's crimes? For my children, I think all parents can die without hesitation for one second, but I think it is a slightly different matter: can I become a monster to cover up my children's faults? Thinking about this reminded me of the old Korean movie 'Public Enemy'. It is not the same story, but the parents in the movie die after swallowing the evidence for fear of their son being pointed out as the culprit though they are killed for money by their children. Also, in the same context, would I be able to do this for my child? I think it is a really difficult question to answer. Also, watching Dojun give attention to his mother in the last scene, I thought that it might have been a little eerie for his mother. Dojun knew the murder to hide his son's crime, and the mother ends the scene with a really ambiguous expression, not crying or laughing.  I usually like movies that ask me questions like this. The movie Mother was made by Lee Byung-woo, a famous director for film music as well as this profound theme, and I liked it even more because it made the last mother's dance a little sad and exciting.
