Jin Min's works can be read while laughing and crying.
The tone of the whole work is gray - a girl who stabbed a policeman's father and was worried about being arrested and ran away, a shemale who longed for a child but couldn't bear children, a middle-aged uncle who abandoned his wife and children because of gambling, all are tragedies in the real sense.
What is touching is that in the process of helping the abandoned baby "Qingzi" find his parents, under the index of fate ("Qingzi" is really Angel!), the three meet sooner or later. Touch your past, admit your past mistakes, and start accepting your past self.
The most rare thing should be that the middle-aged uncle finally ended his life of alcoholism and paralysis in the homeless life, and admitted the pain and suffering left by his high gambling debt to his wife and daughter, and he was scum.
The most unforgettable scene is the scene where the shemale jumped off the building to save the baby "Qingzi" who fell downstairs - a rush of updraft blew up the vertical banner, and the "woman" holding the baby holding the vertical banner was dying to save herself. Covered with the rising sun, as the banner slowly descended in the eyes of everyone surprised, it was like a big and small sky.
What is the thought of this film? For me, it's probably the word "home".
An uncle who was in debt and abandoned his wife and daughter, faced his grown-up daughter and committed suicide;
A shemale with a "woman's heart" is determined to be a "female" self in the midst of everyone's doubts about her gender, and finds beautiful feelings in her self-consciousness in wandering (whether it is the runaway girl's recognition of her female identity, or her The realization of the family fantasy "As long as a woman has a child, she can live a hard life under the bullying of her **** husband" - she met the **** uncle);
The girl who stabbed the policeman's father and ran away finally understands and forgives her father (she ran away because her father abandoned her favorite kitten), reunites with her father, and understands how family members treat each other. Words, how important it is - I can forgive you everything, accept everything you have, as long as you don't leave.
This work of Jin Min is still complicated, a kind of real complexity, but with a little dream, making people cry when they laugh and laugh - but I don't know where that emotion comes from, a very complicated Touching, a kind of touching in the face of complex reality mixed with all kinds of flavors.
To exaggerate, this is a documentary like a movie, with some bizarre colors.
Although I still prefer to watch warm and healing, but Jin Min's works should be taken seriously when I have time. Hahaha
