Today I saw his work "The Godfather of Tokyo" again, and it is inevitable to miss him. "The House of No Ma", "Millennium Actress"...These masterpieces have different purposes. Through appropriate descriptions, emotions can travel through the audience's chest, touch a certain aspect of the nerves, and discuss a certain topic. "The Godfather of Tokyo" is a heartwarming story. Although there are many coincidences in the film and the painful past of several families, it is ultimately to arouse the audience's affection.
I didn't understand why the movie was called "The Godfather of Tokyo". I have watched the "Godfather" trilogy before, and thus formed the definition of the word "Godfather" in my own concept: a prestigious religious person or a gang leader. Later, when I checked the information, I found out that the original meaning of "Godfather" refers to people who baptize infants and young children and promise to receive religious education, or theologians who have authority in formulating or expounding doctrines. Contact "Tokyo Godfather", the film begins with three homeless men being baptized in a church, slowly telling them that they picked up a baby and found parents for the baby, and slowly let go of their past events in the process of finding the parents of the baby. Watch Clear the way for the future. The experience of the three homeless men is like a process of being baptized. The name of the film uses the word "Godfather".
The three wanderers each had their own unfortunate past.
A Hua, a homosexual, has always dreamed of being a woman and a mother, inverting her gender. The tramp, Lao Jin, abandoned his wife and daughter when he was young, and lived in self-blame when he was old. Miyuki is just a teenage girl who stabbed her father and ran away from home. The three people wandered for different reasons and got together.
The three wanderers all have similar hearts.
A Hua insisted on taking care of the baby from the beginning. He always had a motherly love. When A Hua was a child, A Hua was abandoned by his parents. He had been brooding for decades, but in the process of helping a strange baby find relatives, he became calm. In my own heart, at the same time I completed my own journey of maternal love. After seeing his own daughter, Ajin's guilt towards his wife and daughter began to have the possibility of remedy. Akin became a hero in front of his grown-up daughter to make up for many years of regret. In the days when Miyuki wanted to see her relatives and escaped from his father's pursuit, Miyuki was speechlessly pained in the phone booth. He read the enlightenment of finding himself in the newspaper. Later, when he met his father, Miyuki became a daughter again and fulfilled his wish.
In addition to the stories of the three wanderers, there are also the misfortune of the benevolent and rich, the tragedy of the infatuated woman, the warmth of the killer, and the stepping up of the lender. Every character can be seen in Director Jin Min’s delicate depiction of the characters.
The atmosphere in our lives is too cold, and the story of "The Godfather of Tokyo" takes place around the cold Christmas. At the extreme cold, warmth is everywhere. Human nature is complicated, and society is indifferent. Although this film talks about the hardships of the world everywhere, it warms us in reality and awakens the love in our hearts. Life is not only about obtaining or taking, the joy of dedication is huge and powerful. In the film's less than an hour of infection, my heart is filled with infinite love and warmth for a long time.
