Sadness and joy, is it Drama or life?

Jin Min. Friends say genius. I said, alright.

Fascinated by ghosts, I watched two Jin Min films in a row. "Millennium Actress" was a bit confusing at first, and it didn't start to feel interesting until the end of the film (but was not moved by the emotion in the film at all). "Tokyo Godfather" was very interesting from the beginning, a typical and very strange wandering combination, but it was too dramatic to pick up Qingzi, "explicitly" to the next twists and turns.

I like Jin Min's "bad" without malicious intent. At first, most of the life experiences that the uncle told Sister Hua in a painful tone were "processed". Slowly, in the convenience store, the uncle admitted that his wife and daughter were actually still alive, until the uncle met him in the hospital. Qingzi, we understand what "Qingzi" means to him, and that he lied to Sister Hua intentionally or unintentionally. The reunion of father and daughter is a happy event after all, but at this time, Jin Min asked Sister Hua to yell and turn away, and told Miyuki the story of "red ghost and blue ghost" alone. This deep sadness suddenly overshadowed the joy just now, The uncle was slapped in the face by "piapia", and the comedy turned into a tragedy in an instant.

Jin Min seems to like this "reversal". The perfect ending that helped Kiyoko find her mother, Sachiko, suddenly turned into a child who was actually stolen by Sachiko; Sister Hua, who said she had no parents, suddenly knocked on her mother's door; Miyuki, who was rummaging, saw that her father published an article in an old newspaper. The notice - it turned out that the person who made the mistake was her; even when everyone thought that Qingzi was going to starve to death, Sister Hua turned around and saw the baby milk powder enshrined on the cemetery.

You think it's too much, baby formula is enshrined in the cemetery. Jin Min's warmth is not abrupt, but it's also really hard... So it doesn't surprise me at all that Miyuki and her father look at each other, and the uncle's "Kyoko" welcomes him to go home slowly, it doesn't surprise me at all, even The safe return of Xiao Qingzi is also expected, not to mention that the relic that the failed gambler uncle got from the old tramp is actually a lottery ticket with the largest amount of the year... What else can I say, I can only spread my hands.

The story is still woven very seriously, I think "The Godfather of Tokyo" can probably be regarded as a road animation, haha! Although the scene is the streets and alleys of Tokyo, their posture of not turning back all the way seems to be only a broken car.

    The animated version of the family of thieves, these illusory and real city prophecies, have been staged countless times. But this version of Jin Min is worth watching over and over again.

    20180817 @Macao Romance Film Studio repainted the Chinese Valentine's Day and changed it to five stars. At the moment when the last gust of wind blew, my tears flowed down. Jin Min's setting of this moment as no soundtrack was a stroke of genius. // 20150423 The story is well told~
