As a Spanish thriller with rich colors, the extraordinary temperament of "Mom" is also unbearable. In recent years, masterpieces like "The Orphanage" have appeared, and Spain has its own unique perspective and performance in thrillers. If you want to tell a story, from another angle, you will be moved by the story told by "Mom", and it is very touching.
The following is a spoiler from a different perspective, be careful:
a mother, her child died unfortunately, the body was not found, and the sad mother died later. As a mother, after turning into a ghost, she did not give up looking for her child. In a vast forest, she kept searching, no matter how long it took, she never gave up. Finally one day, in a hut abandoned by humans, he met two living children, whom the ghost thought was his own. So I took on the responsibility of caring for them and became a ghost mother. In a blink of an eye, the two young children, Victoria and Lily, have adapted to the life in the virgin forest and are used to the life of being taken care of by ghost mothers. Especially Lily, because she was very young when she began to take care of the ghost mother, 5 years of life made her more adapted to the wild life in the jungle and lived a life like a savage.
The reason why Victoria and Lily were abandoned in a hut in the forest five years ago was because their father had committed a crime and wanted to escape with his children. As a result, in the forest, he lost his life and let his pair of children fall into the care of the ghost mother. Five years ago, Victoria and Lily's uncles never gave up looking for them. After 5 years, he finally got his wish and took the children home.
For the ghost mother, she finally found psychological comfort and took care of her two children for 5 years. But overnight, it was taken away again. She couldn't accept this fact, so she followed a group of sisters to the space of human life. And came out at night, to play with the sisters, and at the same time wanted to take them back to the forest, to be with herself.
For the slightly older Victoria, because she had already adapted to the normal life of human beings before being taken to the forest by her father, she had a 5-year savage career and returned to human society here, her ability to adapt is obviously stronger. As a result, she returned smoothly in terms of mentality, accepted the care of her uncle, and returned to the world from mentality. As a younger sister, Lily has no memory at all because of her young life experience, but the ghost mother's 5 years of care made her more accustomed to it, so she also has difficulties in accepting human life, and she also wants to return to ghosts. Go with mom.
Therefore, the human uncle, ghost mother, and a pair of little sisters who are in a tangle have become the focus of the story. From the perspective of a ghost mother, her love for her children is deeply moving in addition to filtering out the elements of horror. In the end, in the wrestling between the ghost mother, the uncle, and the little sisters, it was Victoria who begged the ghost mother to let her let her uncle go, and the ghost mother took the young Lily away. Uncle's love and mother's love are divided equally, although this kind of equalization is uncomfortable and strange. But the kind of motherly love that crosses the realm of human and ghost is still touching.
In fact, like "The Island", the story of the same ghost mother guarding her wings and a pair of children is even more touching because the camera is not deliberately set to horror, but "Mom" does not give up the scary methods commonly used in traditional ghost movies. , so from the point of view of people who simply like thrillers, this film looks a bit literary, while people who like literary films don't like the thriller element in it, so on the whole there is nothing to rely on. Unless you have a strong heart, you will like this film very much because of its unique temperament. For me, after a series of shocks, I was suddenly moved.
