The mentally retarded Taiyu in "Mother" is like a kitten in need of protection. The mother is always worried that he will be bullied and hurt. The mother educates Taiyu. Friends come with good wine, and enemies come with shotguns. Facing provocations To fight back. One night, Tae-woo is involved in a murder case. In our eyes, how could a guy with mental retardation like Tae Woo who is bullied everywhere be a murderer? There are generally three motives for murder, for money, for sex, and for revenge. It seems that there is no motive for Tae-woo to commit the crime at all. How can a person who has no motive for committing the crime commit murder to others? The mother starts investigating the murder with the belief that Tae-woo could not be the murderer.
As the murder case unraveled little by little, some unexpected plots emerged in front of us. The mother and son who have lived a very desolate life but are still bullied by others. The girl who was tanned on the balcony after her death has a scandalous story of exchanging sex for living substances. Maybe Taiyu wasn't born a mentally retarded child, maybe it was the result of his mother's repeated drugs that prevented Taiyu from committing suicide. In order to protect her son, the mother also killed an old scavenger who knew the truth about the murder. The conclusion given by the police was that the murderer was another mentally handicapped man, a mentally handicapped man who had no family. These unexpected plots add up to give me a glimpse into the dark side of society.
The mother wanted to erase Tae-woo's painful memories, and she herself couldn't face her devastated life, so she performed acupuncture on her big feet, trying to forget what should be forgotten. If there really is such a point, I would also be willing to put a needle on it.
