Won Bin comeback is a hit

Mother is a well awarded film. She deserves the Best Actress award. Played her role perfectly well up to the end. It is story of a mother who is looking after her retarded son... depending him for a murder she believed she did not commit. A movie with twist.. you won't really see it coming. Worth buying and worth every minute of your time. |

A Mother’s Bother
A Mother’s Bother
|
To be philosophical, a mother is certainly the most treasured person in anyone’s life. But what happens when not-so-normal things lead a mother to do anything to protect her son. Such the tale here, where Do Joon (Bin Won) a mentally backward young man is dotted on by his long suffering mother (Hye Ja Kim) who raises him alone, sees her son arrested and whisked away in a police car for the murder of a local schoolgirl. Do Joon had followed the girl to an abandoned house one night after a drinking session. But when the girl throws a rock at him for following her (no chance of a kiss there!) Do Joon decides to go home, but drops some stolen golf balls he’d written on. The next day the girl is found dead folded over a roof rail as if hung out to dry and because of Do Joon’s misplaced golf balls makes him seem as guilty, of murder to police and town folk, like a messy puppy beside freshly made poo. So Do Joon’s life weathered mother turns sleuth to find the truth, convinced Do Joon is innocent and incapable of killing anyone. Joon Ho Bong’s “Mother” is dark with dry humorous undertones having an opener of Do Joon’s mother walking solemnly in a field only to pause and then start slowly dancing on the spot. This weird little intro hints at Ja Kim’s protagonist to be a frustrated and tortured soul, with the whole film a flashback up to this unusual dancing moment. The dance is a respite to the constant overbearing stress of her son’s social misdemeanours. Similarly the exasperated mother assumes Do Joon’s violent friend Jin Tae to blame for the murder, discovering a red smeared golf club in Jin Tae’s wardrobe and quickly taking it to the police station as evidence to free her son, only to discover the red smear was lipstick from Jin Tae’s girlfriend. The golfing artefacts come from Do Joon and Jin Tae’s revenge on some bankers at a golf course, after Do Joon was hit by them in a hit and run and getting briefly arrested. Later Do Joon is arrested again and sent away to prison for the murder of the schoolgirl, a deed he denies and cannot remember. A logical ending awaits amidst a sleepy town’s neutral evils; social apathy, angry young men at rich society, schoolgirl promiscuity (abuse), dim-witted police logic (ending) and a young man foisted with mental aberration. Some people out of this rugged social mix go a little mad. Acting of course is excellent. Interesting extras, too, with Do Joon ‘dancing on the spot’ instead. Essential viewing! |
