Director Jin Min once said, "Among my works so far, I think "The Godfather of Tokyo" has the highest creative quality, and this film is my favorite work." Jin Min's works often abandon exquisite painting skills, strange scenes, etc. The technique that is most likely to win applause is always working hard on the narrative, producing a series of animations that shock the heart. "Tokyo Godfather" is even less like Jin Min's other anime works, and there is no suspenseful plot thriller scene. There are only heartwarming stories.
Women's clothing bosses, alcoholics and gamblers, rebellious girls, and reorganized families have touched thousands of fans. Although the movie talks about the hardships of the world, it is also full of warmth. Under the brightly lit tall buildings, there are small dilapidated tents on one side. The homeless live on relief and scavenging, but they also love. power, the content of the film is to show the process of everyone's redemption.
In the lives of these despairing homeless people, this "God Father" appeared by chance, like a beam of light. In the process of helping babies find parents in need, they also found the past that belongs to everyone, as well as self-relief. , the period was also mixed with a lot of irony and humor about the society. The montage-style reversal at the end of the film seemed half of the magic, and it raised the movie to a higher level. It also seemed that this baby was really as extraordinary as they said, as if The existence of the "holy baby", their kindness has also received the blessings that belong to everyone
The down-and-out uncle Jin, who is burdened with infamy, but always stands up when there is danger, and the rebellious runaway girl who insists on her inner justice.
The protagonist is active, humorous, and spoofed, but the three views are extremely positive. No matter how hard life is, it still carries the romance of the fairy tale world. Even if we have nothing, we still have this pair of hands that can help others, this heart that appreciates the joys and sorrows of the world. This tragic subject is no longer used as a tear gas in Jin Min's films. On the contrary, what he wants to tell people is that the smaller the wish, the easier it is to realize. Down to earth, happiness is actually very simple.
If you have seen "The Thief Family" directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, you will find that there are similarities between the two films. They are all unrelated families composed of marginalized people in big cities, but they get along better than blood families. However, in "The Godfather of Tokyo", no matter how poor or low people are, there is still love and kindness in human nature. So it doesn't matter if you are poor, you will always usher in the dawn when you grit your teeth and persist. But "The Thief Family" is much more realistic. Once you are poor, you may not be a good person, or even keep the love in your life. The thief family of director Hirokazu Koreeda only focuses on the trivial daily life, so that we have a different understanding of the word "fetter" in the process of how the Shibata family faces various problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation, to understand the "family" What should it be like.
There may not be so many dramatic coincidences like "The Godfather of Tokyo" in reality, but after watching the movie, you will have an understanding but not despairing attitude towards human nature. In the anime films directed by Jin Min, "Tokyo Godfather" may be a touch of warmth that Jin Min gave to his anime fans.
