Oh! My Mom
2006｜Taiwan｜Documentary｜Color｜22 min｜Mandarin
In my impression, my mother always put herself in the first place. There were a lot of things we didn’t understand her. However my mother has always been tolerated my father. This curiosity drove me to make this documentary. During the film making, I found that my mum is actually very responsible for her home. Compared with other women, she knows better how to make use of her time to have fun. She reads a lot, and is a connoisseur of life, whole families have been influenced by her unconsciously.
Now,my parents are approaching their middle ages. At this stage, a woman would tend to think of breaking away from her family to realize her unfinished dreams while a man would tend to lose motivation and prefer to stay at home, which is the problem they are facing now. My dad and mum are making efforts to adjust themselves continuously. When I see mum try so hard to live the life that she desires, I have finally come to fully understand her. I think what she hopes most is that all the family can understand her.
