Hi Hivers friends

My boredom in the past two days was immediately relieved after I had the opportunity to watch an exciting and sad film full of drama entitled THE MOTHER, this film was released in 2023 recently, and this film, directed by Niki Caro, received a score of 5.6 out of 10 points according to the IMDB site.

This action film and family drama stars famous actors and singers Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Paez, Joseph Fiennes and other great actors. This film tells the story of a mother who is a former American special forces officer who served in Afghanistan who tries to save her daughter from the threat of vicious and brutal criminals.

This is the film THE MOTHER


At the FBI safe house in Linton City, Indiana. Two FBI agents named William and Michael are interrogating a woman whose name is never mentioned throughout the film, but the woman has the nickname THE MOTHER.

MOTHER is a former American military who served in Afghanistan, so William told Mother to look at the 2 photos he had and asked Mother to name the person from the two photos.

Mother also said that it was Hector Alfarez and Adrian Lovel, Mother was known to have a relationship with these two people because Mother had previously been an intermediary between the two of them in cases of illegal weapons transactions and smuggling.

In the middle of the interrogation, Mother said that the house was not safe, William and Michael did not listen to Mother's words, a moment later suddenly several people shot at them, causing Michael to die on the spot.

Then Mother and William immediately saved themselves by hiding behind the stairs, suddenly someone came and William managed to paralyze him. But unfortunately at that time William was shot in his left chest.

While Mother was hiding in the bathroom, using her skills, she immediately assembled a bomb, and suddenly someone came into the bathroom, none other than Adrian Lovel.

Adrian looked for Mother to kill him. Mother, who found out about this when Adrian first put his hand into the bathroom, Mother immediately shot Adrian's hand.

A fierce fight immediately broke out in the bathroom which resulted in Mother, who was heavily pregnant, being stabbed in the stomach. Luckily, the bomb that Mother had assembled exploded at the same time and immediately set Adrian on fire.

Mother, who survived the bomb explosion, immediately approached William to provide first aid. Then the film moves to the hospital, the mother who is very pregnant must immediately undergo surgery so that the daughter in her womb can survive.

After a while, Mother and William were shown the bad incident and now they were aware of their critical period. A few moments later, an FBI agent named Eleanor Williams came to see Mother at the hospital.

Eleanor asked Mother not to take care of her child because it would be very dangerous for the safety of both of them. Eleanor asked Mother to sign a custody agreement for her child so that Mother's child could be placed in an orphanage and did not need to know his biological mother.

It was also thought that Adrian was still alive because his body was never found. With a heavy heart, Mother decided to sign the letter. Then Mother went to see William who was still alive thanks to the first aid given by Mother.

Mother asked William for 3 things, firstly William must give his child to a good and happy family so that his child can grow up happy like other children, secondly William must also ensure that Mother's child is always safe and happy on every birthday.

Third, William must always inform Mother if her child is in trouble. William, who owes Mother his life, immediately accepts Mother's three requests.

Then Mother immediately saw her daughter who was still in the hospital for the last time. So that her identity would not be traced by enemies, Mother decided to hide in a house in Alaska.

After getting off the ship, Mother immediately met her old friend who had served together when they were in the military, this person was named Jons. Then Jons immediately took Mother to a safe house in the middle of the forest.

Then Mother asked Jons not to know each other for the safety of both of them. The story moves to 12 years later, when Mother comes home from hunting and sees a wolf.

When she wanted to shoot the wolf, Mother saw two small wolf cubs, in the end Mother gave up her intention to shoot the wolf because she remembered her daughter.

Upon arrival at Mother's house, Jons came to send a letter. The letter contained photos of Mother's daughter who was always happy. Usually this letter was sent by William's agent every day of his daughter's birthday.

But that day was not his daughter's birthday, in the letter William asked Mother to meet him. Mother, who was worried that something would happen to her daughter, immediately packed all her weapons and immediately got ready to meet William.

Moving to Cincinnati, Ohio, Mother, who had just arrived, was immediately picked up by William. On the way, Mother immediately asked William about her child. Then Willian told about Mother's child.

When ATF troops raided Hector's men at one of the weapons storage places, they found a photo of Mother's grown-up child. It was discovered that Mother's daughter was named Zoe, which meant that Hector already knew where Mother's child was.

Mother also promised that she would always be ready to fight again to protect her daughter. The next day Mother visited her child's school, there she saw Zoe coming home from school very happy because she had been picked up by her very kind adoptive mother.

Mother even followed them to her adoptive parents' house to make sure Zoe was okay. The next day Mother visited Zoe's school again.

While watching Zoe play from a building parking lot, Mother saw several suspicious cars coming, Mother immediately prepared her sniper weapon.

Mother recognized one of them, that person was named Tarantula. Then Tarantula, who was observing Zoe from one of the park chairs, immediately asked his men to kidnap Zoe.

Mother, who was ready with her sniper rifle, immediately shot Tarantula's men one by one. Tarantula, who was aware of Mother's presence, immediately ordered his men to kill Mother.

Tarantula himself immediately ran towards Zoe and immediately shot Zoe's adoptive mother in the hand. Then he immediately caught Zoe by hugging her. When Mother wanted to shoot Tarantula with her sniper, suddenly a bus came to block Tarantula, which made him succeed in kidnapping Zoe by putting her in a car.

Tarantula's men who had come to where Mother was hiding immediately shot at Mother, Mother immediately hid under the car. Mother, who managed to steal one of the cars there, immediately hit Tarantula's men and died.

When she wanted to escape, the police suddenly came, which made Mother have to run on foot. Luckily William arrived on time and immediately helped Mother.

At that time, Mother asked William why there was no information about this kidnapping. William, who did not know what had happened, apologized to Mother.

Then Mother and William went to Zoe's adoptive parents' house, while climbing the stairs Mother saw photos of Zoe who was very happy living with her adoptive parents.

Then Mother returned to see William, William said that they had to go to Cuba to look for Zoe, but so that their identities would not be traced they had to pretend to be husband and wife.

When they arrived in Cuba, at a bar they saw Tarantula who was drunk, Mother immediately approached him to ask where Zoe was. Then several other people came and immediately attacked William.

Because he was careless when he saw William who was stabbed by a knife, the Tarantula managed to escape. A very epic chase is shown here, initially Mother chases William on foot. Then Mother also stole a motorbike to chase William.

Because she was stuck in traffic jam by pedestrians, Mother finally asked William to chase Tarantula, then Mother stole a car there to chase Tarantula.

And finally Mother managed to catch Tarantula after hitting him very hard with the car. Then Tarantula was immediately taken to a place for interrogation.

Tarantula, who was trying to keep his mouth shut, was severely beaten by Mother and tortured her, making Tarantula give information about Zoe who was at the Efila plantation, but the place was very tightly guarded.

Mother didn't pay attention to this. The important thing was that she could save her child. When she wanted to leave, Tarantula continued to babble dirty words towards Mother. Mother, who was annoyed by this, immediately killed Tarantula there.

That night, when Mother was treating William's wounds, Willian asked Mother why she saved him when he was safe at home, then Mother answered because William gave Mother a drink while at the house and William wanted to protect her and Zoe.

Then William also asked how his relationship was with Hector Alfarez and Adrian Lovel. Then Mother explained that it all started when she was still active in the military while serving in Afghanistan.

Adrian was impressed to see that Mother was very skilled at shooting and surviving on the battlefield, then Adrian recruited Mother to help him in his illegal weapons smuggling business.

Mother, who was tired of being under Adrian's constant orders, decided to change her job as a prison tower guard at the Ministry of Delta at Guantanamo.

While on duty, Mother accidentally saw Hector stealing weapons from the base. Mother then took advantage of this opportunity to fund her retirement one day, then Mother had the idea to bring Hector and Adrian together so they could work together.

As time goes by, Asamara's relationship between Hector and Mother occurs without Adrian's knowledge until Mother becomes pregnant. However, unbeknownst to Mother, Hector and Adrian had other dark businesses behind Mother's back.

When she saw something suspicious, Mother decided to sneak into Hector and Adrian's warehouse. Mother saw a lot of weapons that were going to be sent to Russia.

Then when she looked at the other container, Mother was very surprised when she found lots of small children and teenagers there. It turns out that all this time they were also carrying out a human trafficking business.

Mother was very upset about this, she decided to tell the FBI about their crime on condition of asking for leniency and protection for the baby she was carrying.

Then Willian asked who the biological father of Mother's child was. Mother answered that Zoe was not Adrian's or Hector's child, but was her own biological child.

That same night, Mother and William immediately rushed to where Zoe was being held, they were seen immediately preparing their weapons, when they arrived at that place, Mother and Willian immediately killed every guard in that place.

After opening a room, Mother saw Zoe who was very scared, Mother immediately took Zoe who was very scared, and when Zoe saw William Zoe immediately ran to hug William because they had known each other for a long time.

When William and Zoe left the room, Mother decided to go in to meet Hector. Hector, who was ready with his weapon, asked Mother to throw away the weapon.

Then Hector threatened Mother with his weapon, with Mother's fighting skills he managed to kill Hector. Moving to the airport, Zoe always looked at Mother.

After that, on the way, Zoe secretly searched on Google about how to find out her own birth mother through DNA. Upon arrival at a Rest Area, Mother, who was buying food at Mother's Rest Area, was jealous of the closeness of William and Zoe.

Then William approached Mother to ask her to buy chocolate for Zoe. After that, Mother immediately gave the chocolate to Zoe. Then Zoe asked Mother if she was her biological mother, with a heavy heart and full of sadness Mother answered no.

Then, when Mother wanted to leave, William gave Mother a cellphone so that Zoe and Mother could continue communicating. When she saw that Zoe and William had left by car, Mother suddenly decided to follow them on a motorbike that she had stolen there.

In the middle of the journey, suddenly the car driven by William and Zoe was hit so hard that William became unconscious. Then 2 people came to arrest William.

When Zoe got out of the car, Adrian came over to Zoe and asked about Mother, suddenly Mother arrived on a motorbike. Adrian asked Mother to drop her weapon.

Suddenly Adrian shot Willian right in the head until he died, then when Adrian wanted to shoot Mother and Zoe, Mother immediately threw a match into the leaking car tank which caused a big explosion.

Then Mother and Zoe immediately ran away using a motorbike. Then Zoe and Mother rested in a cafe, Zoe asked Mother what the purpose and purpose of the people chasing them was.

Because Zoe was still very small, Mother finally just said that these people were just people from the universe. When Zoe went to the toilet, Mother called Zoe's adoptive mother using the cellphone number taken from Zoe's cellphone.

Mother said that Zoe was fine and would soon take Zoe home for her birthday. Then Mother and Zoe immediately went to Mother's safe house in Alaska.

On the way, they stopped briefly at Jons' shop to buy food. Jons was happy to give away every food that Mother took for free.

Then they immediately continued their journey, on the way Zoe teased Mother that Mother and Jons were pretending not to know each other even though they looked like good friends.

Arriving home, Mother immediately invited Zoe to hunt for dinner. After seeing a very beautiful deer, Mother immediately shot it and Zoe forbade Mother to shoot the animal.

When she got home, Zoe didn't want to eat deer meat, then Mother told Zoe that it was rabbit meat, but Zoe still didn't want to eat it. eat it. Mother also said to Zoe that every food humans eat comes from violence.

In the middle of their conversation, Zoe said that she wanted to go home to her adoptive parents. The next day Mother asked Zoe to learn to drive a car and taught Zoe how to shoot so that Zoe would know how to survive.

When Zoe was playing with several wolf cubs, the mother wolf was right behind Mother. The wolf then chased Zoe, luckily Mother was able to drive the wolf away with a salt bullet fired from her gun.

When she arrived home, Mother scolded Zoe for smoking, then turned angry at Mother by pointing a gun and asked Mother to take her home because she really missed her adoptive parents, plus she couldn't say anything to Mother.

Mother then said that there were some things in this world that Zoe didn't know, then Mother gave Zoe a folding knife and taught her how to use the knife.

Then Mother also taught Zoe again how to shoot, now Zoe is starting to become proficient at shooting on target. Then Mother and Zoe made mines to place around the house.

Then Zoe asked Mother if she loved and missed William, Mother shyly answered Yes. After installing the mine, Zoe saw that the mother wolf was injured and immediately asked Mother to treat it.

Then Mother said that it was the law of nature, in the evening Mother looked at the sweet face of her child who was fast asleep, Mother then went out to treat the mother wolf.

The next day, when Mother woke up from sleep, she was surprised to see that her daughter was no longer beside her. Then he immediately left the house to look for Zoe, and he found Zoe playing with a wolf cub.

Zoe was then bitten by one of the wolf pups. Mother immediately approached Zoe and immediately took her to the nearest hospital to get help and treatment.

However, when trouble came, Zoe didn't know that she shouldn't say her real name because their position could be tracked by the enemy. This also made Mother entrust Zoe to Jons.

Then Mother also left a letter to Jons for Zoe. Zoe was again upset and cried because Zoe had been abandoned by Mother again. Sure enough, that night Adrian and his men immediately came to Alaska to target Mother and Zoe.

Then Jons called Mather and said he would take Zoe away. Then Zoe asked Jons how they met, Jons answered that the two of them were friends when they were still in the military.

But now Jons is old and unable to fight anymore. Then Zoe said that Mother never admitted that Mother was her biological mother, then Jons said look at what Mother has done to Zoe, don't look at what she says.

Jons also said that Mother's whole life was for Zoe. Then Zoe saw the letter that Mother had left for her, then Zoe saw some of her photos that Mother had kept, then Zoe read the letter which could answer her questions all this time.

The point is that Mother is Zoe's biological mother and Mother loves and loves her very much. Then Zoe immediately went out and took Jons' car to meet her mother.

On the other hand, Adrian and his men are going to Mother's house to kill her. Adrian asks his men to bring Mother to him because he wants to kill Mother with his own hands.

However, the mines that Mother and Zoe had previously installed blew up Adrian's men one by one as they approached Mother's house. When Adrian's men wanted to defuse the mines that Mother had previously placed, suddenly Mother came and immediately killed Adrian's men.

Adrian then launched a snow motorbike with a bomb attached to it to blow up Mother's house. Mother, who was already wearing similar clothes to Adrian's child, immediately made Adrian's other subordinates.

Suddenly Adrian received news about Zoe's whereabouts, Adrian immediately asked his men to arrest Zoe. Not long afterward, Zoe was caught. Mother, who saw this, immediately tried to save her child.

During the chase with the sled, Mother asked Zoe to jump with the words "Jump". After Zoe jumped from the enemy's sled, Mother immediately shot the enemy.

Then Mother immediately took Zoe and put her on the sleigh she was driving. While driving very fast, Mother one by one knocked out the enemies who were chasing them.

Mother and Zoe then climbed up the tree where they usually practice shooting. From there, Mother managed to knock out several enemies with a sniper thanks to Zoe's direction.

And suddenly Adrian managed to aim Zoe with a laser from his gun right at Zoe's head. Then Adrian asked Mother to meet him otherwise he would shoot Zoe.

Seeing this, Mother immediately went to meet Adrian, while Zoe remained in the tree with a sniper that Mother had left behind and was ready to aim at Adrian.

Mother and Adrian then decided to fight with their bare hands, because the fight was so fierce and blocked that Zoe couldn't aim at Adrian properly.

Then, after Adrian succeeded in locking the mother and strangling her neck, Adrian asked Zoe to shoot them both so that no one else would disturb her.

Zoe, who was so scared, immediately opened fire and hit Mother. When Zoe wanted to save Mother, Adrian, who was still alive, immediately caught Zoe.

Not long afterward, Mother woke up from her fainting state and saw the mother wolf that Mother had treated encouraging Mother to help Zoe.

Then Mother started crawling to get her gun, then Mother immediately aimed at Adrian who was already in the car with Zoe. Mother's shots missed several times.

Mother almost gave up because she was really helpless, suddenly the car that was moving stopped and it was shown that Mother's last shot was right on target and succeeded in killing Adrian.

Zoe immediately got out of the car to help Mother and immediately hugged her. After that, Mother took Zoe back to her adoptive parents' house.

Before parting ways, Zoe hugged Mother and said she really loved her biological mother. With feelings of sadness, Mother left Zoe.

A few days later, Mother returned to monitor Zoe who was at school. Mother was so happy after seeing that her child was safe.

And that is the film THE MOTHER which is very moving and managed to make me cry when I watched it.

Conclusion


Always love and cherish your parents no matter what the current situation is, because parents are willing to make sacrifices and even die to make us as their children happy.

I Love My Father and Mother.

This is a very exciting review of the film THE MOTHER, see you in the next film review.

    Greetings friend, I had the opportunity to see this great film and it was a production that has received a lot of criticism since it came out and in my case I liked it and it was a plot that makes us think, also the presence of that great actress in it gives it a great touch, even though he went overboard with his daughter and they exaggerated on that part, since you don't have to be in danger to make an appearance, if you're supposed to always be there. Beyond that, the effects and animation work they put into it is excellent.
