      Tokyo!--A Film Composed of Three Japanese Short Films

      So-called good movies, I think, first have a good story.

      Then, the influence is further deepened by the acting skills of the actors.

      Then again, the way the film is presented is impressive.

      "Tokyo" Love Story is very Memorable

      After watching Tokyo Love Story, I reminisce about the plot and characters in the play, which makes people have a deep aftertaste. It is more about Li De's character and her view of life and love in the play, which makes people unable to calm down for a long time. Li Xiang is very smart and kind and is full of romance in her bones. The only bad thing is that she has a strong personality. No matter how hard or tired she is, she will pretend to be indifferent on the surface. Then she puts all...

      Homestead stories stole my eyes

      The girl who couldn't see the direction of her life in "Interior Design" left her boyfriend when his directorial dream was initially realized. I found out that there is a place where I can shine when I have no ambitions. It turns out that hobbies and the world can coexist peacefully. Although I don't like you who I love, and one day I like another girl, but now I am satisfied with being a chair, I can only bless you.

      Tokyo! The land of all "evil"

      If you ask me about my impression of Tokyo, I would preconceive that Tokyo is very similar to Shanghai.

      Popularly called a big city, it is generally characterized by a large population and a fast pace.

      But Zhige is just a commoner and has never stepped into this modern capital. However, after watching this amazing work directed by three talented directors, Zhige realized...

      Inclusion in famous cities

      As a place where people gather, a city must have its vitality. Tokyo, a truly international metropolis, can accommodate various voices with a tolerant attitude. Unlike some self-proclaimed metropolises in China, in addition to boasting, there is only repression.

      Especially the second part, Mr. Dung, the director very sharply criticized the habits and mentality of the Japanese: the beautiful city actually hides the darkness of World War II, the Japanese pretend 13: If you don’t...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The idea of ​​"Vibrating Tokyo" came from Feng Haojun’s experience on the streets of Tokyo.

Get in touch with others. Thus, this became the starting point of "Shook Tokyo"   .

    Evaluation action

    The part of the film directed by Bong Joon ho writes about the loneliness of urbanites in the virtual era. The story is simple and warm. It eliminates all the social structure of the city.
