Six Pix: Mothers

Six Pix presents a sextet of movie posters representing a particular actor/director/genre. You pick the one you feel is visually the most artistic or best sums up the film.

In honor of Mother’s Day we’ve featured posters highlighting moms in film.

Included are: Mildred Pierce (1945); The Goodbye Girl (1977); Freaky Friday (2003); The Joy Luck Club (1993); Terms of Endearment (1983); and Mask (1985).

The simplicity of Terms of Endearment’s portraiture is classic. Mask’s silhouette of a triumphant boy in the sun echo its themes of the unending possibilities of a mother’s unconditional love. And Freaky Friday’s playful updating of the mother-daughter switcheroo is colorful in more ways than one. In the end, even though it is quite literal, the heartwarming embrace of depicted on The Joy Luck Club poster sums up the tender bond and unyielding devotion of a mother for her child.

Which one do you think is the winner? Should I have included something else? Tell me about it below! (And please feel free to suggest future topics.)
