Reflection about the film "Mother"

“Mother”

"Mother" is a short film about a love-hate relationship with mother and child. This film has touched my heart so deeply, I have cry numerous times after watching it. It was direct and flow very smoothly when read it in a Chinese version. The sound effects and photographs suited every scene of the film. Hence, it was these factors that capture the audience, especially my attention. “Mother” was talking about real-life situation with child and mother. It reminds me of the past few years of my relationship with my mother and me. It shows me a clearer picture of how importance mother are and being a mother is not a cup of tea. Looking back, my mother has always shows understanding, care, patience, and love to me. However, all her doing was worthless to us as I do not know how to appreciate her love and care towards me. I could remember during my childhood days, she brought me to school I do not like it, and scolded her numerous times.

Moreover, whenever I came back from school she would prepare simple dishes. When I look at the dishes I will give bad comments on her cooking skills and the food. I would complain that the food does not look appetizing and compare her food with hawker centre. When I experience problem or obstacles, I would cruse and swear and blame her for giving birth to me. Every time I scold her with foul languages and always never admit my mistake. I think I am always correct and she is always wrong, without putting me into her shoes. My birthday is approaching; she will always remember by heart and give me a memorable birthday. Mother Day’s or her birthday, I will never remember these two important dates.

Thinking back, my mother has been working two jobs just to support me and my sisters. I could see the tiredness and weakness shown on her facial appearance. However, she did not pent-up feelings when she told us of her frustrations. She just kept all her dissatisfactions and complaints to her heart. She did all these sacrifice for the sake of me yet I do not appreciate and take her for granted. I even scolded her and doubted whether am I adopted or from flesh and blood.

In conclusion, I have learnt that no matter how much they satisfied to meet our needs. However, they may not be able to understand us personally. It is because there is a generation’s gap between the child and the mother. On the other hand, we could not understand their care and concern towards us is until they vanished in this world. Hence, we will then realize that we commit to many mistakes to cause the pain and hurt to or mother. After I watched “Mother” I realize that blood is thicker than water. We must be blessed to have mother that always protect us every minutes, seconds, hours. However, they are the one who will forgive all our wrongdoings and give us moral support.

I NOT STUPID

I NOT STUPID
Filmreview
Director:Jack Neo

I NOT STUPID is a satirical comedy which will make you laugh and cry almost at the same time.It portrays the struggles of three young children and their families in pursuit of academic excellence in a highly competitive society.The parents are equally challenged in the rat race,taking their own “exams” to survive in the modern society.In the movie,it mentioned about the education system in Singapore.
Streaming system in the primary school has showed the weakessness…
People in the EM3 stream are labeled a class with no aptitude for school.
If they are in EM3,they are a lost cause.The three children in the film has showed the feeling and unhappiness in EM3…Why EM3 students always look down by people?They are not stupid,they have their own talents.Why parents only values only English and Maths?Learning our own language is as important or else not knowing the Chinese language,you don’t even know what you could be missing.
Parents always thinks what their children did are always wrong.They want their children to do in their own way,listen to them and meet their expectations.As a child,
Althought we do not always agree with our parents,but in our hearts we know that it is all FOR OUR OWN GOOD!

Director:Royston Tan Running Time:93mins Rating:NC16

4:30am,my Korean uncle has came back home from work.I can sense his presence and smell of beer in him the moment he step into the house.He undress his clothes and left his boxer on,lay down on the bed and sleep soundly.The moment has arrived,I can have a closer look at him,knowing how he has been for the day.I creep into his room in the middle of the night, searching for thing that can tells me more about him.I found a pair of chopstick in his bag and I bring back to my room.
I smell the chopstick once,I smell chilli.I smell the chopstick twice,I smell pepper.I taste the chopstick,and I taste peas.I record all down in my scrapbook.

In the morning,I prepare orange juice for him and placed it at the doorstep.I wait near the phone waiting for the call from my mum.She asked me the same old questions whenever she called me,but I will still answer all her questions.However,when I asked her when will she be back,she will always said that she is still at Beijing having business meeting.I hanged her call.First day to school,I felt lost of direction. I saw the same people practicing taichi at the usual place. Mischief of me,I go turn off the music and ran away. Line up in the parade square and sing the same old national anthem. After that,follow the same boring routine.The lesson was so boring and I fall asleep.Once again,I was sent out of the class.After school,I go the the same clinic and buy the same cough medical.I will buy a bottle of cough mixture and drink everyday.

4:30am,I creep to his room in the middle of the night again.I look at him sleeping soundly on the bed.I turn back and find scissor,pull out from his pubes underneath the boxer.I take and closer look on it and compared it to the one I get in the past.Cool,it is longer than the past one…,and I keep them in my scrapbook.

Second day,while I was bathing,my uncle rushed into the bathroom and pee.I was stunned at the moment,and I saw something that is so different of mine...On the way to school,I saw the same group of people practicing taichi.This time,I bought cd along and purposely changed it from the radio and I ran away.In the english lesson,the teacher called my name out,and asked me to read my composition.I read my composition named “My hero”.It is wrote about my Korean uncle to me as a hero.However,she questioned me about the minimum words required for this essay;300 words.Again,I was sent out of the class because of incomplete work of 150 words essay.I just do not know him well enough...


I sneak in to his room again.Look at his stuff on the table…4:30am,he came and sleep sound on the bed.I was inside the room,on the bed,but he didn’t notice about me. I took the photo of him and i sleeping on the bed.I paste it in my scrapebook,and named it “He is sleeping”.

Third day,when my uncle is bathing,I was standing outside the door.In a sudden,I heard chocking sound.I guess he playing of holding his breath in the water again.Waiting for the right time,I rush in,pee in front of him and rush out.It is so fun when I saw his stunned expression.He react the same as what he did the same to me,haha...
In the art class,we were told to draw about our dream.I was called again and asked to show my artpiece.My painting is painted with black and nothing else.The teacher questioned me why did do this?
“I have no dream”,I answered.I was sent out of class because of this again...


4:30am,I walk to his bedroom and I saw no one.Searching the house and outside the house,I saw him smoking and drinking sitting on the stair.I walk near and sat by his side.He offer me his cigarette,I took from him and threw it one side.He stared at me,and I stared at him.In a silent,we cried.After that,I went back to my room and cut out part of my shirt that contain his tears.I pasted it on my scrapebook and named it “Tears”.

This morning,I woke up,I saw my scrapebook is opened.It wrote “Goodbye” in Korean.I stunned…I walk to his room.Room is empty,everythings are nicely pack and no sight of him.There is no where I can find him.Depressed...I stop the clock at 4:30am,paint the window black.I just want to hold on to my memories of my uncle...

SON

SON
Filmreviews
Director:Royston Tan

Like any ordinary person,
I live and labour for my daily three meals.
I have only one son.
Who shares my life with me,
But I have never knew what sort of work he does.
It has been so many years.
He always seems so busy rushing in and out of the house,
So busy that he did not even acknowledge my presence
or call me dad…
Each morning,he leaves without even eating the
Porridge that I have prepared.
Perhaps this is my retribution.
Father and son are like one in a body.
It really hurts to see his health is suffered as a
Result of his hard work outside.
Each night,he sighs heavily as he goes to bed.
I have no idea about the hardship he gone through.
I have to be his father and mother,
But I still do not know how to move his heart.
I have only one wish that is for God to bless
My poor son day and night.
At the blink of my eye, seventy years have passed
Seeing that my son has grown up.
I realized that my son has grown up.
It seems that we have not spoken for a long time…
Blood is thicker than water.
Yet my son and I behave like stranger.
I don’t express my love in words.
He will never know that I am proud of him.
I was never close to my father,
It seem that I will never know my son.
This is my fault.
When a child makes a mistake,
He has his father to forgive him.
When a father makes a mistake,
Who is to forgive him?
Is it true that a broken mirror cannot be mended?
Through the years,our meals were always simple.
Tonight I decided to cook a scrumption dinner.
But he did not come home.
This meal is twenty-five years later.
This is fate playing tricks on me.
In a silent house,
My heart is burdened and sad.
Even if I were to eat the food and drink the wine,
It will be bland and unsatisfying.
I wish my father is around to comfort me.
Today the world is moving faster than ever.
Time waits for no one.
My son and I are drifting further apart.
It must have taken thousands,
if not millions of years of reincarnation for us to be father and son.
I can’t wait for another thousand years.
I do not seek his understanding or forgiveness.
I only hope that for tave a new beginning,
A father and son will have a new beginning.
