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.
