Mother
Another crime masterpiece where Bong Joon Ho gives you the illusion of knowing the truth, maybe even understanding the plot ... and then betray you in every possible way, in an instant, totally unpredicted.
The struggles of a Mother, searching for truth and ... the sad discovery that they could not concide with your beliefs.
I trusted Do-Joon and his Mother until the end, and nothing could have prepared me to such a revelation and the *consequential "burning guilt".
*
Witnessing all that from the point of view of the Mother, looking for proofs of her son's innocence, gaslighted me into not trusting everyone except her *(We could say Jin-Tae advice was not for the Mother, but us instead)
*
Every character I thought was innocent was revealed being, in fact, a real criminal.
And the most suspicious characters were all **innocent.
**
Like in a puzzle, we had the whole solution in front of our eyes from the very beginning, but not the right mindset and knowledge to interprete it the right way.
