I like Korean films. I can only say that you see this movie. Mother's love for her child and typically Korean foolish policemen that are always

The story is a very nice example of how a movie screenplay and direction can be designed very well to play on audiences' precedents and turn them all around at a very quick instance. I really like how the movie kind of opens up with a shocking sequence that really summarized all the important characters in it. And as all Boon Joong Ho works, this movie is also not excluded of his depictions of gruesome things, although they don't really cross the line of being overly graphic. I like how the movie's opening scene seems like it's ts ending and then all those twists and turns just keeps rushing in. I even thought that there is still another twist to it when Do Joon chats about why the body is put on a high place. The acting really focuses on Kim Hye Ja and Won Bin's acting works. But in overall the acting looks very nice. Kim Hye Ja kept the constant expression of a sorrowful mother that doesn't stop for anything very well. Won Bin also acted out well as an idiot that has his responses almost like they are programmed in him.

Mother tells the story of an old unnamed woman who begins an investigation of her own to find out the real culprit when her own mentally-challenged son is arrested & tricked into signing a confession for the horrific murder of a high-school girl. Though it may look like another one of those stories where a person is falsely convicted of a crime he didn't commit & in the end is proved innocent, Mother brings a slightly different dimension of its own into this tale and never gives out the mystery until the film's final third act which reveals itself in a manner that most people wouldn't see coming.Smartly directed by Bong Joon-ho, who introduces dark humour & radically shifting narratives but still make the story work as a whole, brilliantly written & smoothly photographed as well, what makes this film really fascinating is the impressive lead performance by Kim Hye-ja as the unnamed mother living with her son & wonderfully portrays how far she is willing to go to protect her son out of maternal love & care. Wo Jin has magnificently played Do-joon, the disabled son who is prone to hitting back whenever someone mocks his disability.On an overall scale, Mother is part unsettling, part heartbreaking & part thrilling black comedy that promises an emotional roller-coaster ride & delivers so. It may not be as great a masterpiece as Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder, but succeeds as a good thriller nonetheless that comes full circle in the end to finish on a note that's as weirdly funny as it is tragic.

Memories of Murder, Oldboy & Madeo are the three Korean movies which will stay in your mind for a long time. This is the first time I'm writing a review for a movie at IMDb and this movie really deserves one. Madeo is about a mother who is trying desperately to bring her son out of imprisonment. I watched it late night, the screenplay is engrossing to such an extent that some scenes of the movie gave me goosebumps. Narration, Music and Cinematography make it an absorbing experience. The build up to the climax is really amazing. It's really hard to predict what happens next.There is something about the Korean movies which brings the characters involved in it closer to your heart. Be it the performances or the body language it stirs your heart. In the end when the mother dances on the tour bus after injecting herself with acupuncture, especially with music in the background leaves a lump in your throat.
