If you ask me about my impression of Tokyo, I would preconceive that Tokyo is very similar to Shanghai.
Popularly called a big city, it is generally characterized by a large population and a fast pace.
But Zhige is just a commoner and has never stepped into this modern capital. However, after watching this amazing work directed by three talented directors, Zhige realized that the ideas of famous directors and commoners are not too much.
Tokyo!
Tokyo!
It is a three-part film composed of three short films, and another translation is more in line with its temperament: "Tokyo Rhapsody".
To put it simply, it is a summary of Tokyo in the eyes of the three famous guides. Jokingly said, it is a Tokyo travel guide written by three tourists.
▲Michel Gondry, Leo Calax, Bong Joon-ho (from left)
Interestingly, none of the three directors are Japanese. Like Bong Joon-ho , the most well-known Korean director , his "Memories of Murder" has been regarded by many as "the best Korean movie in history".
Then there is the famous French director Leos Carax , one of the representatives of the French "post-new wave".
There is also the underrated Michel Gondry , the eccentric director who often adds some whimsy to his works, directing the low-budget sci-fi romantic film "Warm and Light" ".

Then join the local Japanese cast, such as Yu Aoi who is in charge of appearance, Teruyuki Kagawa, Ryo Kase, Denis Lawan, and the surprise appearance of his wife and husband Mu Satoshi, Nanto Omori and other first-class Japanese actors who are in charge of acting. Literary and artistic youth, and meet business needs.
The temperament of "Tokyo!" is very similar to the Japanese national brain hole series "Wonderful Story of the World", whichever one is set up in the series, because it is grotesque enough.
▲Why are you naked?
The directors cut into the society and human nature in the background of the city from a unique perspective, and shared three different looks of Tokyo like an allegory. The three works are by no means put together on purpose, but there is no similarity whatsoever.
Purely connecting them, only the city of Tokyo.
▲Several markers and the city mirror each other, the poster
The series of plane arrivals and departures at the beginning and end of the film explains why the film is like a short film.
There are three pieces of Easter egg information (chair, head, takeaway) hidden in Tokyo under the neon flashing at the beginning. If you don’t pay attention, you will miss it. I also remembered it again after watching it for the second time, and understood the three pieces of information represented by these three pieces of information. Kind of Tokyo life.
-----"Interior Design"-----
Interior design
The first story was directed by Michel Gondry, inheriting his previous style, adding experimental video components to the film, so that the alienation of people is displayed in the flesh, and it is only at the end that I know why it is called "Interior Design" .
An idealized couple went to Tokyo to send friends to Tokyo for an experimental movie. After experiencing a series of obstacles such as being unable to rent a house, finding a job, and being towed away, the girl Hiroko's ideals gradually became disillusioned and kept asking questions." Why do I live?", and eventually drifted away from her boyfriend and friends.
▲ Renting has been repeatedly blocked
The director uses "Alienation of the Flesh" to express the changes in the relationship between the characters and the people who have been eliminated by the deformed society.
Hiroko turned into a chair. From the initial hesitation to the final comfort, she was no longer afraid of cold words and found her own function, "I am no longer useless."
▲ Big changes to living people
Is this kind of physical alienation liberation or depravity? We can only judge for ourselves.
-----"Merde"-----
Yoneda total
The second story was handed over to Leo Carax, which should be the most hostile to Japan.
▲If you like weirdos, I'm actually pretty
From the name, there is a smell. Merde is also the name of the male protagonist. In French, it means Yoneda Gong, which aggravates the odor that the sewer weirdo played by the male protagonist conveys off-screen.
▲ Brother who loves to eat chrysanthemums and banknotes
A strange man in green clothes, with disheveled hair, one white eye, a curvy beard, and a stench suddenly appeared on the streets of Tokyo. He walked convulsively, robbed anyone he saw, and ate chrysanthemums and banknotes. He was very dangerous. , sometimes blowing up some people, sometimes walking aimlessly in the streets, and finally returning to the sewers.
▲Save the child
His appearance has attracted attention from all walks of life in Japan, some people support it, some people hate it, as long as he appears, it indicates danger, and he is later caught and put on trial.
▲Have you seen the word Nanjing?
Metaphors also work. Critic film titles, unexplained street bombings, abandoned military flags in sewers, eccentrics who are reckless and like to eat chrysanthemum banknotes. The eccentric looks like he is saying: "Am I not you little Japanese devils?"
▲The director played a four-screen video
-----"Shaking Tokyo"-----
shake tokyo
The last story was completed by Feng Junhao, not so heavy, even a little gentle.
It cuts in from Tokyo's otaku culture, and the story begins by describing the daily life of an uncle who has been otaku for 10 years.
▲Just sit down - otaku
Feng Junhao is like a time controller, making actors "teleport" through camera scheduling.
From the toilet to the kitchen, from the corridor to the private room, including the sunrise and sunset when the uncle wants to go out, eliminate the extra time, and you know exactly where the time has gone. The language of the shots is quite neat and tidy, like the house of an uncle, where everything is preserved and neatly organized.
▲Oops, it’s a feeling of loneliness
This aimless life repeats, until one of the piles of pizza boxes is found upside down, and his life is interrupted by a girl whose identity is unknown.
▲Oops, it’s a feeling of heartbeat
After the otaku's psychological construction, he sees the light of day again. The unmanned environment and the smile of the robot deliveryman make everything abnormal.
▲The city is so empty
The whole film has been shaking with earthquakes, that is, Shaking in the title, and the sound of the earthquake collapsing after the black screen at the end, I don't know if the high wall of the building collapsed after the uncle's heart, or the real end of the world in the future.
-------------
Father, like son.
We often go against the objective, and subconsciously look at our surroundings subjectively, but in fact we are just deceiving ourselves. We can understand that talent show mentors do not look at their strengths and vote for players of their own camp, because if it is me, I will also be emotional.
▲ "Interior Design" plays experimental images in the movie
This movie is ridiculous as all three directors are from abroad, but it shows the most serious social situation in Tokyo: the anxiety of Tokyo youth living in "Interior Design", the criticism of history in "Yoneda Gong", "Shaking Tokyo" house culture and earthquake factors.
▲Tokyo youth's dwelling life
The three directors' keen social observation ability objectively analyzes the deformed society in Tokyo.
At the beginning of the young man's eloquent dialogue: "The entire Tokyo was submerged, the number of missing persons reached millions, and the survivors mutated into ambitious monsters. They perfectly adapted to different environments."
▲ Hiroko, who has not been able to adapt, is also mutating
The survivors are the Tokyo residents who are fans of the authorities, aren't the missing people who have been eliminated and lost the meaning of "living";
Merde even incarnates into them, showing them his hateful faces.
▲ The mysterious religion and mysterious belief in "Merde"
The Chinese are the most resonant and have the most voice, and Karax helped us breathe a sigh of relief.
The Yoneda of Japan who pretended to be stupid in front of the historical facts, the Yoneda of Japan who refused to recognize the Nanjing Massacre, and the Yoneda of Japan who claimed that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to their own country, how can you shamelessly survive?
▲ Japanese otaku who died in 6 tons of small yellow book was discovered after half a year
Tokyo's frequent news: "The otaku in the house: no one has found it for two months after his death", how sad, what happened to the otaku played by Kagawa Teruyuki is not true.
▲The body water was sucked dry by pornographic magazines and tatami mats, a true event
They live in their own world with no desires and no desires. They rely on their parents to support themselves. They can't tell whether the person in front of them is fake or not. Maybe he just bought an inflatable doll with Yu Aoi's face and died of an earthquake collapse in his arms.
▲ "Tokyo", a dead house city in "Shake Tokyo"
"Tokyo! "It's been ten years since it was released, and these issues are still poking at the pain points of the Japanese. To be honest, the directors have already done their best, and they are still pretending to be fans because they are afraid that the authorities will clear it up .
In fact, as long as you think about it, where is the negative energy in life?
▲This looks bad energy?
"Tokyo! "There is still the charm of human nature in the small mourning. From another perspective: Hiroko has found the meaning of life - "dead"; Merde continues to wander to other countries to make trouble; Otaku can be regarded as finding true love, Aoi Yuna With a smile, he died without regret.
▲After Tokyo, the United States (smile)
No, the National Day is coming soon, and this Tokyo travel guide has come in handy. Brothers and sisters, what about Tokyo, Japan?
