      Mother--Subtle Humanity And Crime Movies

      The story of Zhentai and Wenya guides the audience. Combined with the first scene of the mother dancing, I always thought it was a story of a mother's revenge, but in the last scene, I thought about the mother's peeing Taiyu after drinking the medicine and using her feet to wipe urine on the floor. In the end, most people may be led to think that the murderer is Tai Yu, but this is a movie about Feng Junhao! This film...

      On whether the old scavenger is a villain

      There may be an interpretation: the girl hides her mobile phone in the rice bowl, and her grandmother is at home, the rice will always be eaten less and less, and the mobile phone will eventually be exposed. Then the girl had already decided to commit suicide, and deliberately wanted to expose the man in the phone to the public; that night, the male protagonist was drunk and followed the girl. Expose the secrets in the mobile phone, for fear that the half-stupid male protagonist would get...

      Simple questions about a few details

      When her son was urinating on the street, why did he cover up something on the urine, as if he was covering up something, for fear that others would see the liquid on the ground.

      After killing the harvester, the blood in her brain flowed to the ground, and she wiped the blood on the ground like crazy, as if it could save people.

      After peeping at his son's friend's house and knocking over the water bottle on the ground, he could have helped him up immediately, but she didn't dare...

      The evil of human nature has nothing to do with the strong group or the weak group

      A very important topic in the film directed by Feng Joon-ho is: the evil of human nature has nothing to do with the strong group or the weak group.

      In the usual context, the word "vulnerable group" naturally carries a kind of "justice", and it seems that they are always victims in social relations. In a sense, they instead occupy the moral high ground, which makes us consciously or unknowingly ignore their complex and dark side as "people". The...

      personal feeling

      In my opinion, Bong Joon Ho's "Mother" is very unusual, ostensibly to show a bizarre small-town murder (completely a crime thriller by genre), but in fact, in the process of telling Delayed, focusing on more and wider things, not just staying in the narrow vision of the established thinking size (for example, only making a fuss about "crime" and "family affection"). Therefore, it can be said that the film "Mother" is surprisingly thick, and has become a modern, oriental, "social" metaphor....

      The ending is really unexpected. The fate of the two mothers and sons is the same. Before watching it, I advise you not to be spoiled or it will be...

      Damn, retarded. Not fucking mentally retarded. After all, the director still wants to say that if you have a mother, you can still live, but if you don’t have a mother, you have to...

      In fact, it's a 3-star level. If there is no ending scene, the level will drop. The rhythm of the first part is very dull. Yuan Bin has no surprises and is very...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Hye-ja Kim's first scene of the film was NG 18 times, which made her feel that she couldn't act anymore.
    This film is Won Bin's first filming after he retired from the military, and it is also his return to the big screen after five years.
    In order to truly reflect the character of Won Bin in the film, director Bong Joon ho changed the name of the person in the film to "Dojoon" who is very similar to Won Bin's real name "Dojin"...

    Evaluation action

    The story of "Mother" is very simple, but the details of the film are very rich. What is revealed behind Mother's solitary search for justice is the repression of the social system, the extreme indifference of the relationship between people, and the unknowable and irreversible truth. The film cleverly created a very depressive atmosphere through the rhythmic, relaxed and moderate passages (Golden Eagle Net Review)  , and won the...
