The second film I watched is called “Mother” or 마더. It was released in 2009 and it was directed by Joon-ho Bong. I really enjoyed this movie. “Mother” reminds me of the film, “The Usual Suspects” because of the plot twist. I give this film an 8/10. 

*From what my co-teachers and girlfriend told me, Korean women watched this movie because of the supporting actor, Bin Won. Apparently, Bin Won is the most handsome man in South Korea.

Hye-ja is a single mom to 27-year-old Do-joon. Her son is her raison d’être. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is naïve and dependent on his mother and a constant source of anxiety, often behaving in ways that are foolish or simply dangerous. Walking home alone one night down a nearly empty city street, he encounters a young girl whom he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning she is found dead in an abandoned building, and Do-joon is accused of her murder. Thanks to an inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force, Do-joon’s case is quickly closed, but his mother refuses to let this be the end of the story. Trusting no one, Hye-ja’s maternal instincts kick into overdrive, and she sets out to find the girl’s killer and prove her son’s innocence.
