Mother (2009)	comment	Mother (or Madeo) is a 2009 South Korean film by Bong Joon-ho, starring Kim Hye-ja and Won Bin.Yoon Do-joon, an amnesic young man, is thrown in prison for the murder of a local girl, Moon Ah-jung, after a night of heavy drinking. Mother believes that her son is innocent, and tries her damnedest to get Do-joon Yoon to remember details that will help his case. The help of others is enlisted, too, but not all are reliable — prompting Mother to take things into her own hands, even if danger seems to lie just around the corner.In no way related to the 1996 film starring Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds, or the 2017 film starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem, much less the Maxim Gorky novel and 1926 Soviet film adapted from it. Nor is it related to the RPG series.

Mother (2009) / int_119e320e	type	Red Herring Twist
Mother (2009) / int_119e320e	comment	Red Herring Twist: Played straight and played with: Near the beginning of the film, Jin-tae, accompanied by Do-joon, has a confrontation with a group of rich people, and he vandalises their car when they're not looking; at the police station, Jin-tae blames Do-joon instead, knowing he won't remember it otherwise, leaving him and his mother in a lot of debt, despite being aware of their financial difficulties. Shortly after, Ah-jung's murder scene is shown, leaving the debt plot point mostly untouched. Friends of Ah-jung suspect she was killed for having compromising photos of her sexual partners. She wasn't, but her sexual experiences did lead her to become resentful towards men, which caused her to lash out at Do-joon, who then killed her in a fit of rage.

Do-joon is shown following Ah-jung on the night of her murder and can't remember what he did that night because he was drunk and suffers from amnesia, but the evidence against him is circumstantial at best and her past is revealed to be very shady, all of which suggests that he is innocent. The end of the film reveals he actually was the killer—her shady background made her aggressive towards him and she accidentally hit his Berserk Button.

Mother (2009) / int_7374ab13	comment	Once More, with Clarity: The scene featuring Do-joon drunkenly following a girl is revisited near the end of the film, proving that he was in fact the killer; the girl was Ah-jung, who called him stupid in a fit of resentment towards men, and he threw a heavy rock at her head in anger. We get a flashback of Do-joon taking his mask off and waving to a local girl. This time, the audience will notice the trash collector in the foreground. At one point in the film, a brief shot appears of a young boy being offered a drink, which then cuts to Do-joon's mother vomiting in her toilet. At first, it looks like she's throwing up from the alcohol she drank at the lawyer's party one scene earlier. After the first Wham Line listed below, it becomes clear that the young boy is Do-joon, the drink being offered is poisoned, and his mother is actually throwing up the poison she already swallowed, all in a flashback.

Mother (2009) / int_f682ee6e	comment	Villainous Mother-Son Duo: Deconstructed. Do-joon really killed Ah-jung, and his mother ultimately murders the only witness who could testify against him and willingly allows an innocent man to be convicted for her son's crime. However, Do-joon acted in the heat of the moment and has no recollection of what he did, while his mother feels so guilty about what she has done that she wipes out her own memories.

Mother (2009) / int_fd497706	comment	Accidental Murder: Possibly. Do-joon threw the rock at Ah-jung with the intent to harm, but given his mental state, he might not have been aware that it would kill her. After he forgets and then sees her dead body, he's alarmed and tries to put her in a place where she'll be seen.
