What is ‘Mother’ about?
the story of MA It starts off with a group of kids in high school looking for some booze outside a liquor store. When all hope is almost gone, Maggie (diana silver) stops Sue Ann aka Mom, and she agrees to buy alcohol for them. However, he has a catch. Making it an act of responsibility, Ma says that the teenagers should come to her house to party. This way, they can stay and sleep there so they don’t have to drive home. At first everything seems normal, but over time things start getting strange. Personal items go missing, mom sends them depressing videos of them drinking alone and generally makes weird comments. The teenagers become uncomfortable with Ma’s actions and start moving away. In a last desperate attempt to get the children back, the mother pretends to have cancer to guilt trip them into spending time with her. Once the teens are in their place, we learn that Mom has an elaborate plan to mess with the kids because they are the children of her previous bullies.
Why is mother out for revenge?
Ma is a troubled woman who was bullied by her peers in high school. The film flashes back to this time and we see how people she considered her friends and crushes played cruel pranks on her. When Ma meets the teenagers outside a liquor store in the present day, she learns that one of the teenagers is the son of her high school crush and bully, Ben Hawkins (luke evans, This is the moment when we see Ma change her tune and offer to befriend the high school students. From that point on, it seems like she just wants to be by herself, be quiet, and have friends. Sure, he’s still haunted by the trauma he’s been put through in the past, but this is his second chance at being “cool”. It is not until Ben asks Ma to meet him for a drink under false pretenses that she begins her violent rampage. Some of the children’s parents are questioning Ma and her intentions and the internal trauma gives rise to the vengeance and anger she has buried deep within herself.
What’s the twist at the end of ‘Mother’?
At the end, there’s a big twist that we don’t see coming. Actually mother has a daughter. Maggie and Haley (mckelly miller) break into Ma’s house to search for the missing jewelry, suspecting her of theft. While they are peeking into the restricted area on the upper floor, they encounter the Jinn (tanyell discount), mother’s daughter. It turns out that Mom is harassing Ginny by making her think that she is sick and that is why she is not able to go to school and she is not able to have real friends. This is a severe case of Munchausen by proxy and Genie has no idea about it. Haley and Maggie are now becoming suspicious of Mom, but they have to get out of the house because they can hear her pulling on the street. This, of course, is done by Ma to Ben’s girlfriend, Mercedes (miss pile), after they meet for drinks (in a clip that’s both shocking and hilarious). After this hit-and-run, Ma moves downstairs. She invites Ben to her home, drugs him, gives him dog blood, slits his wrists and lets him bleed out on her bed. It’s all a matter of time before all the teenagers, except Maggie because she’s on the floor, are going to a party at her house. Maggie quietly sneaks out and goes to Ma’s to make sure her friends are okay. When she gets there, all her friends are drugged and tied up. Unfortunately, Maggie is drugged and rendered unconscious.
Every high school student is bullied differently. Chaz (gianni paolo) has been burned with an iron, Haley has her lips sewn shut, Darrell (dante brown)’s face is painted white, and Magi is hung with a rope around the neck. I hope you all haven’t forgotten about the Genie, because she’s the one who saves the day. She drops her mother’s frying pan, causing a fire. All the teenagers have regained consciousness and are attempting to escape from the house; But we all know the villain rule! They never die on the first try, so tapping twice is necessary. Maggie stabs Mom in the back, but she still can’t kill her. Instead of following them, Ma calmly walks upstairs to where she left Ben’s body. A fire rages and the mother’s hatred for the scoundrels grows, yet she lies down in bed with one of them and accepts her fate as the house burns down.
Will there be a sequel to ‘Maa’?
Yes! Mom’s anger and shock could have easily been avoided if the supposedly cool kids at her high school hadn’t been complete jerks to her. Ma really shows the ugly side of high school and how it can haunt someone for the rest of their life. The film reflects the sentiment of “do unto others as they have done unto you” and whether those kids messed with the wrong girl. There was a bit of poetic justice in Ma smiling as she lay beside Ben’s lifeless body in her burning house. All she wanted from Ben was respect and as an adult, he still showed no remorse for how he treated her. So, while Ma’s actions cannot be forgiven, it is possible that she is relieved to be rid of his influence on her life. The devastating fire burned the house just as the fire burned Ma’s psyche and inner feelings toward herself. When the mother looked at the high school students, all she saw were their parents. Perhaps not at first, but eventually, Ma formed the impression that those teenagers were just like their parents. This meant that he would get a second chance at friendship as well as revenge. The ending is quite ambiguous, and we don’t actually get confirmation that Ma died in the fire. tate taylorDirector of MAgave his thoughts about the sequel to Entertainment Weekly MA And how his reign of terror will not end.
