I saw this scene differently. The mother killed her son because she knew her son wasn't someone who would kill,…
But why did it have to be like the mother who broke her promise? They had agreed to leave together. Why not make the son hesitate and drop the knife after seeing the baby, then let the time run out with a heartbreaking conversation, and let the guard be the one to kill.. Well, I do understand it was the filmmaker's choice. The audience has no say in it. But to be honest, I personally didn’t feel sad during that scene. In fact, it felt strange to me. At the beginning, they built a good mother-son relationship, but then they made the mother seem like she broke her promise
seriously, why did they make the mother kill her son, i don't feel sad about that scene at all, I have a question, is there a mother in this world who loves her child so much but is willing to do that, just for someone they met briefly? i would have liked that scene if the son was really rude to the mother, but here the son is really kind and always tries to protect her mother, if they still want to save the girl and baby, why not make the time out and the guard kill her son, that would have made this scene really sad, they promised to get out together and they made the mother kill her own son?, so annoying scene
