The plot of “Searching” is seemingly simple: a 16-year-old girl named Margot goes missing and her dad digs into her computer to look for clues so he can find her. What’s not simple is the way the story is told—through the screens of computers and phones. “It’s a very classic thriller told in a really unconventional way. The whole movie takes place on technology devices that we use every single day,” said Aneesh Chaganty, the film’s cowriter and director.
There is a K-pop/J-pop store in Manila that can make all your merch dreams come true. If you think we’re joking, then it’s time for you to pay Chingu Dachi a visit.
