Fan Casting Mom in Gore Verbinski's Bioshock

Jack's fabricated mother, the embodiment of 1960s suburban domesticity. She dabs her eyes at graduation, chats with her Tupperware pals, and writes birthday cards that gently guilt her son. She is warm, proud, and slightly manipulative—completely unaware she is a construct. Her loss, like Dad's, is retroactively devastating: the mother Jack never had, erased by the truth.
