Film Review
A Girl Missing (Yokogao)
Director: Kôji Fukada
Country: Japan
        I think this movie is talk about the relationship between people, also it is about some social issues, some conflict between and bullying. I watch this movie in Chicago International Films Festival.
        The name of this movie is called “A Girl Missing”, this is English tittle, this movie’s scene had used a girl has being kidnapping, but finally she has got release, through this story the movie tell us this is the reason of the conflict between two family. This movie’s title in Japan is called “Yokogao” which means the other side of human, the Japanese is totally perfect to tell us what this movie about.
        This movie’s plot is a little bit tricky, because I think this is not a perfect movie. There have lots of scene are missing, maybe the director wants us to think about what will happened. In this movie, the main character called “Ichiko”, since her sister’s son have kidnapping a girl who is the one of a family that Ichiko is working for them. Ichiko is a nurse, her job is to take care for Tsutsui’s grandmother, when she saw her sister’s son have kidnapping Tsutsui’s sister, she was very scared. She scared that Tsutsui’s family will know her relationship between him. Unfortunately Tsutsui’s family know it finally, when this relationship have exposed, lots of press are finding her, and start affect her colleague, and her colleague start bully her, they can’t believe she have relation with a criminal, then she lost everything, at the end of this movie Ichiko was been crazy and dead.
        I learned from this movie, family was important, although you are a criminal, you family never get away from you, also some misunderstanding between people was so terrible, if you don’t know the real reason try don’t to talk anything, because you never know why they need to do this. Also, I really recommend this movie to someone who are interest in Japanese.
