Review of Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2006) by Michael T — 14 Oct 2007

I cried for the first time in years when they revealed the fates of the 13 abductees. Scarily moving.

As for the movie itself, I think it played up the tensions and pulled at your emotions too often, and at inappropriate times. For example, the steady drum beat used to make you more anxious right before the unavailing of a new fact.

Also, one thing that was NOT addressed at all, was about halfway through the movie, when the Japanese girl said "My friend said 60 years ago Japan did the same thing (Abducted innocent Koreans)." It was just left there as the girl started crying, the people nor the film makers commented on this.
