a5c7b9f00b In a province in Pusan, South Korea, the slow Yoon Do-joon is a young man overprotected by his mother that works with acupuncture and herbs and does not like his worthless and reckless friend Jin-tae. When a Mercedes runs over Do-joon, Jin-tae follows the hit-and-run driver with Do-joon and find the car parked in a golf club. Jin-tae breaks the side mirror of the car and Do-joon collects golf balls lost in a lake. When they see the cart with the driver and passengers of the Mercedes, there is a fight and they end in the police station. During the night, Do-joon walks to the bar Manhattan to meet Jin-tae that does not arrive; when Do-joon returns home, he sees the easy Moon Ah-jung walking alone in an alley and entering in an abandoned house. On the next morning, Ah-jung is found dead on the terrace of the house. The incompetent detectives find a golf ball near her body and they conclude that Do-joon is the killer. Doo- joon is arrested; signs a confession and is charged of murder. However, his mother follows her instincts believing that her son is innocent and the scapegoat of the incompetent police department and seeks the truth disclosing a dreadful reality.
A mother lives quietly with her twenty-eight-year-old son, Do-joon, providing herbs and acupuncture to neighbors. One day, a girl is brutally murdered, and Do-joon is charged with the killing. Now, it's his mother's call whether to prove him innocent or to leave him imprisoned.
"Mother" from 2009 is the story of what one mother will do to protect her child. And she does just about everything.<br/><br/>Do Joon (Bin Won), a mentally challenged young man, hangs out with a crowd that is a lot hipper than he is. Do Joon announces that he is going to sleep with a woman. He follows a high school girl, Ah-jung, walking home alone. She turns and walks into some sort of cave. She then throws a huge rock out. That's really all we see.<br/><br/>The next day, Ah-jung is found dead, and Do Joon is arrested. His mother (Hye-ja-Kim) sets out to prove him innocent. Unfortunately no one takes her seriously, including the high-priced lawyer she hired.<br/><br/>She finally realizes after talking with a friend that she is going to have to find the murderer herself, and sets out to do it. She finds out all she can about the girl, finally realizing that the key to solving the murder might be her cell phone, if she can only locate it. Meanwhile she keeps begging her son to remember that night. Only flashes come to him, but one thing he does remember is that his mother tried to kill him when he was five. It was supposed to be a suicide/murder but it doesn't come off. A very powerful scene.<br/><br/>Mother is beautifully done – often the director has the Mother walking through a field or among trees so we can see what a tiny person she is. She is ruthless and has no boundaries when it comes to her boy. Hye-ja-Kim is fantastic in the role, her face showing so much emotion and determination. <br/><br/>The movie is set in a small Korean town, which lends itself to the atmosphere evoked by the director Joon-ho Bong - chaos, poverty, traffic, dilapidated buildings. As one who hasn't been to South Korea, I expected the town to lookit did, but I was surprised at how green and hilly the country is, too.<br/><br/>This is a definite must-see, especially for a couple of shocking twists at the end that you won't expect.
So twisted yet beautifully told murder mystery. I first came across this movie after watching the supporting actor Won Bin's action movie 'the man from nowhere'. I was so impressed by his acting in that movie that I decided to check out his other films. And I'm so glad I did cus it meant coming across this little gem of a movie. What an incredible twisted, bizarre and beautifully shot murder mystery it was. The two main performances were superb and the mother and son twisted dynamic really made this movie for me. South Korea is really at the forefront of interesting and unique cinema in the world. I look forward to more work by the genius Director Bong and also the immensely gifted Won Bin.
A superb murder mystery, with twists coming thick and fast yet always at the right moments.
A doting mother (<a href="/name/nm1067547/">Hye-ja Kim</a>) of a mentally-challenged young man is devastated when son Yoon Do-joon (<a href="/name/nm1047193/">Won Bin</a>) is arrested for the murder of a young girl, Moon Ah-jung (<a href="/name/nm3832104/">Hee-ra Mun</a>), and tricked into signing a confession. Certain that her son is innocent, Mother begins her own investigation into Ah-Jung's background and the events that happened on the night of the murder. Mother was filmed from a screenplay co-written by South Korean screenwriters Park Eun-kyo and Bong Joon-ho (who also directed the movie). Mother workedan herbalist in a store and performed illegal acupuncture treatments (she was not licensed) on the side. Her employer wanted Mother to lie to customers about the inferior quality herbs they imported from China. To force Mother into compliance, the employer reminded her of how her illegal acupuncture practice would reflect upon the business and upon her husband, some high-ranking official. "Deodeok root" is the root of the Codonopsis lanceolata plant, known in English"bonnet bellflower." It is a popular ingredient in Korean cooking and can be found in various dishes, suchkimchi, vegetable salads, pancakes, etc. "Gugija" (Lycium species) is known under several English names, such"Chinese matrimony vine", "wolfberries", and "goji berries." The red berries often make their way into soups, salads, and herbal teas. Mother contends that it's good for Do-joon's virility. Ah-jung's two boyfriends explain that she took photos with her "pervert" phone of everyone with whom she had sex, so it's reasonable to conclude that the junkman was one of her customers. This is best evidenced in the scene where the junkman explains how he came to be in the abandoned house. He is seen spreading a mat on the floor and measuring out the rice with which he intends to pay Ah-jung (aka "Rice Cake Girl"). One of Ah-jung's girlfriends had the skill to silence the sound of a cellphone when it took photos. Ah-jung used it to take photos of her sex partners. Several explanations have been offered, including that she was a single mother and very poor, but the most generally-accepted explanation is that Mother couldn't bear to live with Do-joon's retardation so she decided to take both of their lives. She chose to use an insecticide called Lone Star, but it was too weak and only made them sick for two days. Some viewers have entertained the possibility that it was the poison that actually caused Do-joon's brain damage. Since the film does not offer an explanation, it's up to each viewer to decide which scenario makes the most sense to them. Mother finally obtains Ah-jung's cellphone from Ah-jung's Granny (<a href="/name/nm4265865/">Gin-goo Kim</a>). She takes it to the prison to show the photos to Do-joon who remembers seeing the junkman at the abandoned house where Ah-jung was killed. Mother recognizes himthe man from whom she bought the umbrella and goes out to see him. Posinga volunteer worker for Hyeminwon, an organization that provides free medical checks for elderly people living alone, she gets the junkman talking about what he saw the night Ah-jung was killed. He describes how Ah-jung was being followed by a boy who accused her of not liking boys, so Ah-jung tossed a heavy rock at him. When Ah-jung calls the boy a "stupid retard", the boy threw the rock back at Ah-jung, hitting her in the head and killing her. The boy then carried the body to the roof and left it hanging over the ledge. Mother realizes that he's talking about her son and informs him that the police are going to re-open the investigation and release Do-joon in a few days. When the junkman describes how the boy did this weird thing with his thumbs on his temples and starts to phone the police about what he saw, Mother repeatedly hits him in the head with a large pipe wrench and burns down the house to cover the murder. Days later, Inspector Je-mun (<a href="/name/nm2175143/">Je-mun Yun</a>) informs Mother that they have caught the killer, Crazy JP escaped from the sanitarium, and that they are going to release Do-joon because they found blood on JP's shirt that matched that of Ah-jung. JP has denied that he killed Ah-jung, claiming that she got a nosebleed on his shirt. Mother requests to meet JP and finds that he is a Down's Syndrome child. When she finds out that JP has no mother (to fight for him), she breaks down and cries. Do-joon is released from prison. On his way back, he meets Jin-tae in his new car and learns that the junk dealer's place burned down. Picking through the rubble, Do-joon finds Mother's acupuncture needle case. He later informs Mother that he thinks JP might have put Ah-jung's body on the roof so that someone would find her and get medical help for her, because she was bleeding. In the final scenes, Mother is going off on a "Thank You Parents" bus tour. Do-joon buys her some food to eat and returns her partially-burned acupuncture box. "How could you leave this lying around?" he asks Mother. Mother then hurriedly boards the bus. While the rest of the passengers dance in the aisle of the bus, Mother runs an acupuncture needle into her thigh and then starts to dance. Dancing in the aisles of tour buses was commonly seen on Korean tour buses up to a few years ago. Now. with stricter rules and sharper fines, it's notcommon anymore. Several times during the film, Mother says that she knows of an acupuncture point on the thigh. She calls it "a meridian point that can loosen the knots in your heart and clear all the horrible memories from your mind." She did it to herself to erase the memories of her attempts to kill herself and Do-joon when he was young, her murder of the junkman, and her son's involvement in the killing of Ah-jung.The film does not provide a definitive answer, leaving the audience to ponder four possibilities: (1) Jin-tae (<a href="/name/nm1918588/">Goo Jin</a>), (2) the junkman, (3) Do-joon, and (4) Crazy JP from the sanitarium. Jin-tae is ruled out early in the movie. The majority of viewers conclude that the junkman's version of the murder is the truthful one. This is actually evidenced when the police make Do-joon demonstrate the events using a dummy, and he clearly shows them how Ah-jung's head was hit with a rock and her body carried to the roof and placed over the ledge for someone to notice it and get medical attention. In the end, it is Ah-jung's blood on Crazy JP's shirt that the police find most suspicious.
