Friday Speech: In an ethical society, everyone seems to have a consensus, that is, mothers are great, mothers are hard-won, mothers are good... But "Friday Literature" still has to remind everyone that mothers are also human beings, and when people make mistakes, they face the same problems as all other fathers, sons, brothers and sisters.
The following ten recommended films, in which the mother is the protagonist or director to portray the focus, have experienced unimaginable experiences, the creators set these special and even bizarre experiences obviously have only one purpose: to let the viewer know more about the mother's irreplaceable role in their own lives.

4. Mother and Son (1997)
Original name: Мать и сын
Country: Russia
Director: Alexander Sokolov
The "Testimonials" film is a fantastic depiction of a mother's relationship with her son at the time of her death. There is no plot, no subjective consciousness of the director, not even a clear picture, just getting along... However, whenever I watch this movie, I always feel inexplicably sour.

There is something special about this poor mother in the "Recommendation" play: she married a wealthy old man in her second marriage, and for several days, she served her husband diligently and sincerely, and used her own remuneration to feed her daughter-in-law's family. However, what kind of tragedy this excessive coddling will eventually turn into, the film tends to be thought-provoking.
9. My Mother (2015)
Former name: Mia madre
Directed by: Nanni Moletti
"Recommendation" A film director with a successful career, a woman who is anxious about love in life, and a mother with both old and young, how should she weigh in the face of all this... The film does not reinforce the special status of the mother, but rather portrays the life of an ordinary person who faces the same life problems as all ordinary people.
