Feng Junhao's "Parasite" won four Oscars. In fact, "Parasite" is not his best work, and fans even think that "Memories of Murder" is his masterpiece.
Text/Wild Critic
Unlike the open ending of "Memories of Murder", the truth of "Mother" has been revealed, that is, the stupid son killed the female student, because the uncle who picked up the trash described the crime in some details. It conforms to the characteristics of a stupid son, such as taking action when someone calls him "idiot", squeezing his temples after killing people, these details are only the details of a stupid son. In my opinion, the whole film is the process of a mother finally letting go of her heart, abandoning her stupid son, and gaining freedom. It can be roughly divided into the following three stages:
Crazy for children, crazy for children, heartbroken for children
The first act of cutting grass clearly shows the mother's love for the silly son. This kind of love completely abandons her own safety, even dignity and decency. For example, on the side of the road, when the silly son urinates, she Give medicine, she can't hide the urine flowing all over the floor, indicating that the stupid son will bring her unstoppable troubles. Another example is such a big boy, and he still sleeps with his old mother. At first, other characters said that he and his mother slept together. I thought they meant to live in the same room, but I didn't expect that they really slept together, and from the obscene actions and the thought of wanting to sleep with the girl, I guess they didn't. Don't do shy things on the old mother less, it's disgusting to think about. Then such a silly son, why can the old mother endure it for so many years? This is the second stage of the plot. Silly son makes trouble, and the whole society makes trouble
After the stupid son was "unjustly" imprisoned, the mother sought help everywhere. The police said that he was very busy and could not help. In fact, his true thoughts were that he was too troublesome. It is the most labor-saving to convict a person like a stupid son. There are benefits too. Then the old mother went to the lawyer again, the lawyer avoided her, the old mother persevered, and killed the family's nest, the lawyer really had no choice, the can was broken, and she directly called the old mother to the business KTV, sensual and sensual, and got very drunk, I I bet the old mother paid the bill in the end. After giving so much, what did the old mother get? The stupid son can't remember the crime scene, he can't remember the painstaking efforts of the old mother, he only remembers who kicked the Mercedes-Benz headlights, and even the mother tried to poison him when he was 5 years old. What are you saying this is not a white-eyed wolf? The mother broke down at that moment, because the real situation of the year was that she tried to kill her son and then committed suicide, and it was all over. This is why she was so kind to the stupid son later on, and even sacrificed all her own life to love the stupid son, because as a woman, as a mother, her love for cuddling and her love were rejected by that attempt. 's suicide was thoroughly inspired and morbidly enlarged. Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Such a stupid son, don't worry
The last stage was when she was completely motivated to do something outrageous, killing the old man who was picking up trash. Here, the old mother gave up her conscience for the safety of her son. No matter how stupid son did things in the past, she would never hurt others. After all, she was still a kind aunt. At this moment, she broke through her bottom line of being a human being. Because of this, she must have suffered for a long time in her heart. She was tortured by herself in the dark night beyond the boundaries of her personality. It was not until the police told her the "truth" that the "murderer" was the schoolgirl's boyfriend, her inner turmoil was finally calmed down. Then, the silly son picked up the old mother's acupuncture box from the crime scene of the old man who was picking up the garbage, which aroused her "memory" again. At that moment, she finally collapsed, and quickly gave up the pretense and suffering, and chose to indulge and escape.
The final scene was the most unrestrained state she could imagine. At first, she felt like she was insane, but after going through the whole film, she found that she finally found herself and showed the state that a normal person should be. It's just that compared with the belly dance at the beginning, there is an extra car of elderly people dancing with her at the end of the film, which shows that such elderly people are not one or two in Korea, but a large group of people. You can even rise to the point that the whole society is naive and stupid, and requires the old mother to work hard and worry about it. To sum up, the core theme of Feng Junhao's "Mother" is actually about an old mother who selflessly gave to her son out of guilt and maternal love, but she could not get the minimum feedback of love, and finally put down her burden and found herself. , to become a normal person again, such a process.
This is not a film about mother's love, but a film about social issues. From the attitudes towards mothers of the wealthy golfers, policemen, lawyers and other social groups who control the social discourse power, it can be seen that this society, this country He is also a foolish son who lacks brains, is very selfish and self-willed. Which "old mother" will take care of this foolish son? Waiting for everyone to interpret.
