There are no big and bizarre plots, no brain-opening sci-fi and dreams, or thorough erotic love and hate. It's just a story of three "homeless friends" who picked up an abandoned baby in order to return it. Yes, homeless people are used to describe what "home" looks like.
And the so-called godfather is the shemale who was abandoned by his family, sold in the night market and then turned into the street - Hua. When you are happy, you sing and dance; when you are sad, you cry; when you hate you, you curse; when you are loving, you are gentle. Unabashedly, she faced all that life had to offer her with equanimity. Whether it was a childhood abandoned by his family, his gender dislocation, or the society's low level of acceptance of this kind of "otherness". Neither made her give up her pursuit of beauty and love. Jin Min once said that he is a "non-religious person", and the flower he shaped is a devout Christian believer. Perhaps in Jin Min's eyes, the god of flowers should only spend himself. For a truly homeless person, the kinship and love that belong to her cannot be restrained by the ties of blood, so she can exert such warm feelings towards others. She said the child was a gift from God and who was not.
The three went all the way hard just to send their children home, and this is the way these homeless people go home.
Don't expect Hua to find and forgive the parent who abandoned her after returning the child, she didn't, at least never will. But after all, she still took refuge in her mother, Sang, who had raised her, not to mention the maternal love she released when she was with the abandoned baby, and she became the godfather of Tokyo eventually. Going home is never a problem for Hua because she doesn't have a home or she is her own home.
A middle-aged uncle who ran away from his family because of alcoholism and gambling, and a little girl who accidentally stabbed his father and ran away from home. Maybe every homeless person who chooses to leave home like this, feels that when he leaves, something huge and unforgivable and unbearable happened at that time. But in fact, there is no such thing as a big thing, everything is constantly cutting off the spiritual connection of the family. Family love is an inescapable bondage no matter how far away a person escapes in his life. Sweet or bitter, this bondage is what makes you your security. The uncle said, "Parents will not forget their children," Hua said, "Children will not forget their parents." If there is, Hua can see her parents and eventually forgive them. Because she said that love is to see each other's whole face and also will forgive, because she is the god here. God's gift is human love.
In addition, the author has friends who used to live on the street picking food from trash cans for a living, and can understand the huge difference between a person's mental state and living state. This difference was like the surprise on the cashier's face when Miyuki was a scavenger buying water for a baby at a convenience store. In terms of the character's appearance setting, the appearance and clothing of the three of them did not show the messy and unsightly that the homeless should have. At least we can't see it on the screen, you can only see it from the disgusting eyes of others, or smell these qualities that may only belong to the homeless. When we are talking about homeless homeless people and scavengers with no fixed place to live, can we help them take off their clothes and compare their nakedness, where does the sense of superiority and contempt come from?
To, the godfather of Tokyo in my eyes, and my parents.
