      Tokyo Godfather: Angels Sent by God

      Are angels sent by God, or are they in the heart?

      Kiyoko is an opportunity to connect strange combinations. cross-dresser, a daughter who stabbed her father, a homeless old man who just wanted to drink before he died, a gentle mother in a foreign country, a mother who stole a baby, a couple who lost a child... Strange but able to communicate without obstacles because emotions are in circulation.

      Although there have been...

      fringe

      In fact, I don't really understand the motives of the Japanese wandering.

      Ah Hua was trying not to cause trouble for the store; Miyuki couldn't stand the repressed atmosphere at home and the guilt of stabbing her father? ; Lao Jin is ashamed of his family.

      If this is the case, you can start your life again in a different place, I don't understand why you should give up on yourself. At the same time, I feel that the life of a homeless person is so simple? I always thought it was a...

      Tokyo Godfather Summary

      The Tokyo Godfather can be said to be in the comedy style of the early last century, with sometimes exaggerated character movement design and facial expressions, reminiscent of Chaplin's "action" movies, and the warmth and touching in tragicomedy are more like .

      Although the subject matter is realism, the exaggeration of comedy realized with animation just balances the static reality itself, and it does not stop the unique expression of Jin Min...

      ideal

      In the early years, Mr. Jin Min was exploring in both animation and manga. It is said that he became obsessed with the Gundam animation series in high school, and thus began his artistic career. However, the works we see today do not have the shadow of robot animation, which is due to the influence of live-action films brought to him in college. So when we see Jin Min's animation, we feel more of a movie atmosphere, and he is more like a movie...

      From cold snowy night to warm morning sun. The lights turn into blood bars when hit. The life of the old man and the spinning windmill. Temple rattles and bike rides. Not the protagonist of an action movie, but completing the most exciting action scenes, and realizing it in the form of a once fictional driver, is self-salvation. The comrade did not die of AIDS but fell to his death by stepping on soap in the bath. The climax of the plot is silent, and the most realistic movies have the most...

      It is still the visual expressive power of animation + the audio-visual scheduling of live-action movies, exploring the magical moment of the latitude of reality with religious attributes, and finally leading to...

      The director wrapped a sad, delicate and touching story with a comedy. Under the influence of the morning light at the end of the story, the story is extraordinarily warm and touching. --Short review of "The Godfather of Tokyo"...

      How to say it? A true animated film full of love and hope, loneliness and struggle. The full and full character images, the step-by-step storyline, a little bit of dawn in my heart. But after all, there is still not enough experience, many things can not be well understood, I believe that with the passage of time, I will gradually...

    Movie plot

    The girl Miyuki doesn't understand her parents and is a little willful. After his father (the police) sent away his favorite pet, his dissatisfaction with his parents poured out, he stabbed his father on impulse, and ran away from home afterwards. Ahua is a middle-aged "shemale" who thinks she is a woman. I used to work in Gibba before, and later left because of the beating incident and lived a vagrant life on the streets. Kim is a...

    Evaluation action

    The film radiates the overall status quo of Japanese society through the experience of the three people, the changes in urban development, the cold economic society, and the bitter life of the people at the bottom. But behind the cold and heavy tones, the precious warmth between people is still revealed. After Ahuafen saved the baby girl in spite of herself, the entire reinforced concrete forest of Tokyo was shrouded in the warm and...
