MOTHER (2009) - BONG JOON-HO | FIRST TIME WATCHING | REACTION | American Watches Korean Film 

The main actress has been national-widely known as traditional dedicated mother-like figure in south korea. When she was sick and tired of cliché of motherhood, director bong offered this movie. And she nailed it.

A shocking film that showed the dark side of motherhood, which was considered a sanctuary in Korea. And, In the final ending scene, the mother's dance even looks like her desperate struggle to escape the hellish reality.

Masterpiece.

Personally, MOTHER is the best of Bong's films and has the best of opening and ending scene from Korean films. Enjoyed your reaction.

Thanks for reacting to this! Mother doesn't get as much attention and love as Parasite and Memories but personally I think its a very underrated masterpiece.

봉의 역작은 마더라고 생각함. 모자란 아들을 가진 엄마 그 자체 정말 한국적임. 기괴한데 저런 엄마가 정말 널리고 널린것같은…….

Bong Joon-ho doesn't miss, loved this one. Another great Korean director is Lee Chang-dong, I'd recommend the following films of his: Oasis, Secret Sunshine, and Poetry.

Classic bong joon ho....love his work and the way he uses music. Great movie.

My favorite movie among Bong Joon-ho's movies... It leaves a lot of afterglow in my heart after watching it. The scene where she says "You don't have a mother" to the child who comes in instead of her son is so heartbreaking. The child is not the real culprit.

Yes! I was hoping u would react to this someday. This film made me think for days after watching - the performances and little details in it were so damn powerful. Someone else remarked about how in the intro u can see she adds the see no evil/ speak no evil in her dance (perhaps to keep a little sanity), but in the end, her dance has her melt away into madness as she tries to forget the horror she has become. Brilliant storytelling. Keep up the channel Kase!

Save the green planet, 2003 2003, the best year of Korean flim

One of Bong Joon Ho’s finest.

fantastic movie

Even though the director, Bong was awarded Oscar for Parasite, this is still my favorite among his filmography. Cool reaction. Subscribed!

last scene means 1. First of movie, poker-face dancing connected. 2. she didn't dance at first, but she got into normal people. she want to forget what she did 3. all mothers same as her(actress) we cannot distinguish her from other's at last. 4. sunset and dancing shadow looks like burining in a hell. she punished what she did

It's an interpretation of "Mother." First of all, it is Korean culture that needs to be addressed. 1. Korea has a culture of eating clean and white "tofu" to mean that when released from prison, you should no longer sin and live clean. Dojun eating tofu also means that. 2. There are many types of buses in Korea. As you know, the land of Korea is smaller than the state of the United States, so there are many buses that travel around both ends of the country. It may be common for Americans to travel three to four hours, but not in Korea. So, there is a culture of singing along or dancing by playing songs so as not to be bored on the move for a long time. But recently, I haven't been dancing as much as possible because it's dangerous. (Mainly middle-aged culture.) 3. Acupuncture is an Eastern culture called "Korean medicine." It started in China and spread to Korea. Acupuncture is when a thin needle is placed in a specific area where blood flows, the body circulates and the disease improves. Of course, there are modern hospitals, but this is also often visited by the elderly. In fact, foreigners can get hit if they are interested. --------- "Mother" has the same structure as the beginning. The first scene is dancing with everything put down, not knowing what to do with the complicated and subtle mind after the murder. The last bus scene is dancing among mothers. The director partially prevented her from finding her in the crowd. It means that they may be "mom" just like the main character. And because of the sunset, it's like humans burning in hell. Personally, it's more creepy than the dance scene in "Joker." Motherly love is always sublime, but also selfish. This is a movie that contains such uncomfortable facts. Finally, did you know that the real name of "Mother" has never been called in a movie? The identity of the main character means that he existed only as a "mother." It may have been difficult to understand perfectly because of its Korean characteristics, but those who like certain movies choose Mother over Parasite as the first among Bong Joon-ho's films.

There might be some wrong sentences by translating it

I loved this film of BJH. Small in scale yet gargantuan in nature.

This is my favorite film 👍👍

you must watch 'oldboy' by park chan wook if you really love the movie. i swear you will like it and this movie definitely deserve oscar if it release now. really want to see your reaction of it !

This movie is brilliant, one of my favourite from BJH. And I wonder if the son was pretending the whole time to be mentally behind, that he was actually smart. He even is a manipulator. He manipulate his mom with childhood story that mom tried to kill him, in order to plant more guilt in her, so she would do anything to get him out of prison. That's insane

멋진걸작

amazing... he is genius

3:38 53:55 Differences in reasons for smiling.

The most chilling thing for me is that if I were do-jun, I think my mom would’ve done the same thing for me. Maybe it’s not only my mom. And hard to say that’s sweet. There’s a really weird sensation coming out from there.

YESSSSSS

You should watch another Korean movie from another best director park Chan Wook like oldboy which has the best plot twist

Underrated movie.

Just found your channel. Subscribed. It is always some kind of ultimate 'Honor' (although I didn't participate this movie at all XD but as just a Korean living in Korea) getting such compliment about Korean film. Bong is real deal and your commentary very well put.

Hi! I happened to see your review video, and I think you are very good at reviewing Korean movies and you understand the story of Korean movies. And there are many really good movies in Korea. I would like to recommend it because there is a really interesting Korean movie. Three films in total. "Beasts Clawing at Straws" "Believers" "new world" It's a movie. These are the movies with the best actors in Korea. And it's a crime movie genre. I recommend the three movies above. When you get a chance, can you take a look? And I'll keep watching~~

personally i prefer this one than parasite

i recommend "no mercy (2010)"

Where to watch this movie? I have check in many watching apps but still dont find the movie…

I recommend "Man from nowhere(2010)"! The main guy(son) is in there.

Thanks for your great video! If you want to react another Korean movie, I would recommend you Oldboy(2003). It is the BEST Korean movie I've ever watched.

I'm first one! 기다렸으에.고맙수다. :)

good choice

Have you watched “Oldboy” ? If you liked memories of murder you might like “the chaser” one of my favourite movies

I hope you've seen the movie Requiem For A Dream 2000. About the fallen Dream a very poignant movie that really wants you to react to it Thanks

I dont usually make recommendations but 'Miracle in cell 7' would make a great reaction video, i havent seen alot of creators watch it. The movie itself made me personally step away from korean cinema for years. There multiple remakes but the korean one is the original

왜 나의 당신 채널에서의 구독이 자꾸 자동으로 취소 되는지 혹시 알고 있으십니까? 답변 주시면 감사하겠습니다.

I recommend director Kim Ki-duk's film. is a South Korean film released in 2012. This is director Kim Ki-duk's 18th feature film. It won the Golden Lion Award at the 69th Venice International Film Festival, becoming the first Korean film to win the top prize at the three major international film festivals (Venice, Cannes, and Berlin) His other films are also excellent.
