She is God's chess, and every move is the best arrangement for the angels in hell.
Three homeless people, an abandoned baby, an almost fairytale-like story, and also Jin Min's only film that is suitable for all ages - "Tokyo Godfather".
The relaxed film style, the lovely character drawing style, the dreamlike and touching plot trend, the respectable craftsman spirit, and of course the amazing Jin Min, constitute "Tokyo Godfather", the film has changed Jin Min Its style is not intertwined with dreams and reality, but sings a warm hymn under Christmas Eve
The original intention of "Godfather" is to give a christian name when an infant or young child is baptized, and to guarantee the person who undertakes his religious education. "Tokyo Godfather" saves too much religious flavor, but adds many angels from the bottom of Tokyo. care goes deep into it. I think the "Tokyo Godfather" in the film is a very broad concept. The "homeless family" named her and took care of her during the process of escorting Kiyoko, acting as her godfather. Self-growth and redemption; Miyuki, a rebellious girl who left home, gained wonderful experiences and sincere friendships (and a bunch of?) on the way to escort Kiyoko, as well as changes in her father and family emotional factors, which gave her unexpected The family is reunited; Ah Ren, a homeless homeless man who refuses to face reality and dare not face his family, grows mentally while on the road, finds her daughter, and finally has the courage to face reality and a new life (and the first prize of the lottery) ; The wild and devout shemale A Hua returned to his home, met his former family members, and even found his true love (?); and Qingzi also played the protagonist's halo power many times while being escorted. Guarding the "homeless family". These storylines are intertwined, and step by step, Qingzi is sent back to her family. Therefore, "Tokyo Godfather" refers not only to the homeless family, but also to Qingzi, and to all the good-hearted people who have helped them. On this Christmas night, they invariably incarnate as godfathers, protecting others to varying degrees.
I think the most beautiful part of the story of "The Godfather of Tokyo" is that people save themselves while helping others, and each link is like a gift from Maggie. People feel thrilling, dream-like journey, good people and good rewards are always logical; if there is no appearance of Qingzi, the homeless family may be unchanged until now; but without the appearance of the homeless, Qingzi also becomes a light that fades prematurely, and Their beautiful and pure, courageous and persevering hearts collide with each other to produce sparks, which have brought great rewards to themselves, illuminated Christmas, and made others feel the warm light.
Of course, the story not only contains touching elements, but also reflects many real social problems (otherwise it is called Jin Min?); from being questioned when buying things, picking up expired food in stores, being disliked by passers-by drunk, and being beaten and robbed by gangsters , these performances all appear as natural as the background board, making people pay attention but feel no sense of disobedience. They are also one of the few uncomfortable scenes in the plot that make people watch. The garlic and ginger in it is uncomfortable to eat, but there is no inner taste without it. Jin Min used this seemingly one-off method to adjust the ingredients in the dish, depicting the low social status of the people at the bottom of Japan, pointing out their difficulties and hardships, which is thought-provoking. Although the theme of social reality is not as vivid and horrifying as "Red Pepper", it is just right to combine the main tone of the plot.
This movie is Jin Min's third movie I've watched, and it's also my favorite movie. In view of the crazy output of dream reality to the brain in the two movies "Weima's House" and "Red Pepper", It led me to think that Jin Min's style loves to go into the suspenseful world of building a dream. Before watching "The Godfather of Tokyo", I was a horror thriller and suspense film, and when I watched it, I was afraid that a knife would suddenly knock me down. My flashy delusional. But luckily not at all. The humorous plot and ingenious production, pure warmth and real moving, solidly touched the hearts of the audience, and more bells and whistles will only be superfluous.
The kind-hearted "homeless family" sent the little angels back to their parents' arms, and at the same time got their own happy ending. Afterwards, the film came to an abrupt end with Qingzi's smile and joyful music. It was beautiful and wonderful.
