Talk:Mother (1926 film)

Untitled
I don't know how to edit wikipedia really, but I was writing a synopsis of the movie for class and figured that maybe someone else might want to format and post it. Here it is:

The film focuses on three characters, a mother, a father, and a son. The son is a revolutionary and is one of the leaders of a strike against the plant where he works. The father is a drunk, violent man. The mother is portrayed as a very compassionate, albeit naïve, woman who loves both her husband and her son very much. In the beginning, the father comes home drunk and beats the mother, but leaves again when the son intervenes. He is at a bar and the plant owners buy him a drink, effectively recruiting him. Late that night, a young woman comes and gives the son a bundle, which we later discover contains guns. He hides it, but the mother, who he thinks is asleep, sees. The next morning the mother cares for her hungover husband. Later, while striking, the son and his comrades are attacked by men hired by the plant owners, including the father. During the ensuing action, the father is shot and killed. His body is brought back to the house, where the mother is devastated. In the next couple of minutes, the military shows up and searches the house. The mother gives them the guns thinking that they will leave her son alone, but they arrest the son anyways. At his trial, the son is sentenced to hard labor and the mother finally sees how evil and corrupt the regime is. When she visits her son in prison, she passes him a note that says that soon the workers will come to the prison to break out the revolutionaries. Word gets around the prison, and, on the day in question, the prisoners attack the guards and try to escape. The son swims across the icy river surrounding the prison and makes it back to his mother, who is marching with the free revolutionaries. The cavalry serving the tzar arrives and opens fire on the crowd. The son is killed. The mother, upon losing her last loved one, picks up the dropped revolutionary flag and stands alone against the advance of the horsemen. She is struck down in cold blood and the film ends shortly after. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.210.41 (talk) 01:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
