Kim Hye-ja in Bong Joon-ho's 'Mother' (2009)
The Big Picture Out of all the filmmakers categorized as auteurs, directors with unmistakable visions, Bong Joon-ho is certainly one of the preeminent voices. His distinct style, defined by genre-shifting and pitch-black satire, amassed a cult following early in his career, which has soared to mainstream acclaim since his most recent film, Parasite, miraculously won Best Picture and Best Director at the Academy Awards.
Bong's 2009 mystery-thriller, Mother, follows the titular unnamed mother , a widow who is hyper-protective of her adult son, Do-joon . One night, Do-joon drunkenly follows a high school girl, Moon Ah-jung , outside a bar. The next morning, she is found murdered on the rooftop. Circumstantial evidence places Do-joon near the site of the murder, leading to his arrest. His mother, who supports her son in jail, leads her own independent investigation of the murder to exonerate her son.
How Bong Joon-ho Reflects on Motherhood in 'Mother' Using the stereotype of mothers as over-protective guardians and expanding it to make her a police detective acting on behalf of her son could be deployed for glib satirical purposes, but Bong's treatment of the mother character is wholly sincere. For one, it helps that the stakes are gravely high. The mother is also respected as an individual character beyond her relationship with Do-joon.
