Nobody Knows

This film gives to think a lot, i cant believe that exist people like the mother of the film, a mother who has four little children's of four different fathers and abandon them to their luck saying em to don't give life signs, even don't leave to the terrace maybe other see them. And all because she falls in love far away, ..., and to know this is a real story, or the real story is even worst, were five children, is..., no comment. Children that become illiterate (they don't go school), beggars, without to eat, to take a shower, always with the same dirty clothes, ..., unbelievable. Tecnically, is a very good film, with a fantastic stage, amazing frames, best editing based in long fixed planes, some camera movements unbelievable, .... A very recommended film, with a sad story, that gives to think. 9/10.

The right to birth is a natural human right, but the right to custody should be strictly controlled. If the guardian fails to perform his duties to look after the minor, he should be deprived of custody. Everyone should call the police in time if they see that the minor has not been properly cared for.

It's cold winter night and i think i can not sleep now. How come these Japanese people can give such a heart crushing 'movies', every time. Last time Mother movie had caused me an emotional breakdown and now this movie shows again a careless selfish mother. My heart has freezed watching those young kids suffer. How hard is living for those 4 souls, with no parents and support at all. The younger boy living enclosed in room had made our freedom busted. Later when researched I found the poor victim is the younger boy. How could this happen in a city like Tokyo. (1987 though). Still considering it only a movie and an old time story, we can definitely observe some happy sibling moments in mid story. Maybe those will make this movie a worth to watch otherwise its complete dark and heartbreaking.Though happy to know the surviving kids were rescued later and mother had pleaded guilty.
