Maybe you want to escape the shelter that binds you, or maybe you are too small in the face of greatness and choose to ignore it. No matter what, the distance is always there. Tae-woo's resistance is an instinct, in addition to defending his dignity, it is more out of the need for freedom. And the seizure of freedom has become a demon. You can say that this is the source of the tragedy of the film, but it is not only that.
Young Tae-woo didn't understand why his mother tried to take his life with a bottle of pesticide, which was beyond his comprehension. Just like when they were young, most people thought that love was a rough piece of jade, white and flawed, and in the end, life tore off its innocent mask and told you that there are selfish desires in love, sometimes mixed with hatred, and even killing.
In order to clear her son's injustice, the mother was willing to take everything. When she walks in the rain like a walking dead with empty eyes, we can't imagine how she will attack others in the future. In desperation, her most primitive character is nakedly displayed in front of the audience: begging, suspicious of close people, stalking, stealing evidence, murdering, and letting the scapegoat go on. So much so that at the end, it makes people wonder if she is as neurotic as her son. These character traits are like the lime painted on the wall, the particles are rough but real.
As long as she is alive, in fact, the only reason for her mother to go on is this. From the moment he gave up killing his son and decided to live, it was the same tenet. Taiyu is in prison. As long as his mother is alive, she will follow the above steps to live again, even if it hurts the world. In the end, the ending of the story changed dramatically. The mother couldn't face her conscience but couldn't leave her mentally retarded son behind. She chose to forget - as long as she lived.
There are two scenes of the mother dancing in the film. For the first time, after she killed someone and destroyed the crime scene, the truth of her son's murder was covered up. She was the only one in the world who knew, but she could deceive herself. The second time is the ending, she forgot all the disasters and finally relieved. The difficult life temporarily regained its hideous appearance, giving life a time to breathe. Even if he was breathing, he danced so awkwardly—stiff and expressionless.
In fact, every mother is the same, but the story is not so intense. In ordinary days, they are just as well-meaning, devoting all they have, depriving them of freedom, and being strong and forbearing. If fate plays a joke on her, she will definitely give the other a fatal blow to protect the young child, just like the mother nature of beasts in nature. Same.
