Mother from hell.
We follow an immature woman who has a son. She’s a real loser. She isn’t interested in doing anything with her life. She doesn’t take responsibility for her own life, and she begs for money from everyone. She spreads her legs just to get some easy money from horny men. But then she meets a loser of a man, and the life of the son doesn’t get easier. Will this nightmare for the young boy ever end?
This is an interesting movie about a woman who should never have been born. She is disgusting, and unfortunately, there are such people in the world. And the worst part is that the movie is based on true events!
You wonder where the child welfare service is. You wonder why the sister of the disgusting woman and her parents don’t contact the child welfare service so that her young son is taken from her so he can at least have a future ahead of him. Because the longer he spends time with her, she will poison his brain, and he feels that he has a kind of duty to fulfill her wishes. He feels and believes that they belong together. She is mentally ill, and no one is helping the poor son! What a world we live in!
The ending was interesting. You understand that this has gone too far, but when you don’t think the woman could sink any lower, she makes her son do a shocking thing that will haunt him for the rest of his life. The answer he gives towards the end of the movie says most about what the movie is about. But that it had to go so far is just wrong!
I must also give praise to Masami Nagasawa, who plays one of the biggest losers I have ever seen on my screen. She’s pretty and fantastic in this role. I love her blank face when she talks, and her voice towards the end can scare the devil himself. She’s completely gone, and you feel so sorry for the kids in the movie, especially her son. She’s her son’s and the world’s worst nightmare. Move over John Rambo, because Akiko Misumi is our worst nightmare!
Mother is a great and interesting movie about a sick relationship between a mother and son. Imagine Norman Bates and his morbid relationship with his mother, only that it’s the mother who’s the devil herself, and the son obeys her like an abused dog.
