''Mother'' () is a 2009 South Korean drama film directed by Bong Joon-ho, starring Kim Hye-ja and Won Bin. ==Plot== An unnamed widow lives alone with her only son, selling medicinal herbs in a small town in southern South Korea while doing unlicensed acupuncture to the town's women on the side. Her son Do-joon is shy, but prone to attack anyone who mocks his intellectual disability. She dotes on him and scolds him for hanging out with Jin-tae, a local ne'er-do-well. A high school girl is discovered dead on a rooftop in town, shocking the residents and pressuring the incompetent police to find the killer. With only circumstantial evidence placing Do-joon near the scene of the crime, the police are happy with their cursory investigation and arrest the boy. His defense attorney is unreliable, and the police trick Do-joon into signing a confession, leaving him facing a long jail sentence. The police could not figure out why and who would display the girl's dead body on the rooftop where the entire town is in plain view. The mother, horrified and unconvinced that Do-joon is even capable of murder, gets involved in unraveling the details of the murder and the background of the victim to try to prove her son's innocence. She scours the town, uncovering salacious details of the girl's life, allying with Jin-tae, who is surprisingly sympathetic towards her plight, and unsettling everyone around her in her determined quest for justice. The mother's investigation and search for the real murderer takes her to an old man at his junkyard. The town's junkyard keeper reveals that on the night of the murder, he saw Do-joon attack the girl after she mocked him. In denial, the mother murders the old man and burns down the junkyard along with his body. Meanwhile, the police become suspicious of another intellectually disabled man and arrest him for the murder, freeing Do-joon. Without directly confessing to the crime, Do-joon confides in his mother that the girl's body was left in plain view on the rooftop so that bystanders might bring her some medical assistance. He gives her the box of acupuncture needles that she left at the junkyard, warning her to be more careful in the future. Do-joon's mother self-administers an acupuncture needle to a point she had earlier claimed causes memory loss, in order to forget what she, and her son, have done. She later joins other parents in a dance on the tour bus she is on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mother (2009 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
