There are those who can talk about motherhoodgoes on TV to pronounce monologues and who, how Jennifer Lopez, builds us on the inner film. May 12 – so, yes, in the area Mothers Day, proving that the streaming giants are really good at it is Netflix new movie about Jennifer Lopez: Mother, of which she is an actress and producer. The theme, of course, is already clear: the main character is the mother. But not like all the hearts and cheesecake that still rages in Hollywood comedies. Heroine Mother she’s a deadly killer who screwed up half of the underworld and apparently everyone is against her now. So the story goes beyond a sweet family comedy to catapult us into action lost in the snow that cleans up what Americans call “cool moms.”
The film, it must be said, is not quite a masterpiece. However, he has the merit of drawing attention to the meaning of motherhood: “Mother it’s about a woman who will do anything to protect her daughter, but I think the main theme is completely different,” she confirms. Jennifer Lopez in an interview with Reuters“We’re talking about the myth of the perfect mother and that she just doesn’t exist.”

The story – spoiler-free – actually begins with an interrogation that doesn’t bode well: two FBI agents interrogate an unidentified killer (Jennifer Lopez). Our people repeat to them thirty times “this place is not safe”, but nothing, they do not hear us. At some point, all hell breaks loose: a sniper outside kills a group of FBI agents. Ours manages to hide in the bathroom and escapes from his killer by cunning (Joseph Fiennes). A small detail: the latter still manages to wound her in the stomach. And she’s pregnant. Very pregnant. She is then taken to the hospital and gives birth on an emergency basis, but the FBI bosses explain that she cannot leave her daughter. At first, ours resists: “I can protect you,” he assures. But she also knows full well that it would be too risky. So, she agrees, but under three conditions: the girl must be entrusted to a good family; at every birthday, she has to be told if she’s okay; if there is a problem, they should notify her.
It goes without saying that this choice has very relevant echoes: not even a month has passed since the case of little Aeneas, the baby left in April in the cradle for life. For weeks there has been a lot of discussion about this act, so tragic and at the same time full of love, which, perhaps, made everyone think about the often forgotten option: between abortion, keeping the child, and abandoning the baby in the garbage. , there is a fourth way. This is trust. Here, in Mother it is very clear that this mother does not refuse her daughter. He doesn’t leave her. He trusts and protects her.
On the occasion of the film’s press launch (small brackets, looks like there was a bit of an argument with her husband Ben Affleck), Jennifer Lopez she further elaborated, “I like this movie because it really reflects on what kind of mother you are?” There are two different mothers in the film, the foster mother and the character I played, who is actually the biological mother. This suggests that there is no ideal version of the mother. who you are, with what you know and with what you have learned and experienced in your life. And that’s what you pass on to your children: you protect them and love them no matter what.”

Among other things, regarding the protection of children, J.Lo. she admitted to worrying about her own: “It’s not easy being the children of famous people: it’s something people struggle to understand,” she stated in an interview. Courage. Lopez is known to have had two children with ex-husband Marc Anthony: twins Emme and Max, now 15 years old. “Unfortunately, they experience in their own skin what it’s like to have two famous parents: when (my kids) walk into a room, people don’t look at them for who they are,” the actress explains. “They grow up knowing they are the center of attention. I’m really sorry, also because they didn’t choose all this, and it’s very hard when you’re being judged by people you don’t even know: as much as I can, I’ll try to protect them from all this.”
We conclude with a small colorful note: apparently, Jennifer Lopez herself would confirm the possibility of continuing Mother…
