In the evening, I watched Jin Min's Tokyo Godfather(s) with Song Song, and it was very nice. So far, Jin Min's four movies (Millennium Actress, Weima's House, Inception Detective) have all been watched with Song Song.

This movie reminds me of "The Spring Night is Short, Girls Go Forward!" ", because in the development of the stories of the two, there are all kinds of coincidences and traces of fate. People are constantly intertwined and separated, and more and more characters join in, and they are wrapped around like a snowball, rumble forward, and finally break up, but they all find their respective homes and regroup into a happy appearance. The difference is that the story of the Tokyo Godfather is a bit more bitter and always makes me wonder if these lucks really come to the homeless? Could it be just the last dream of an abandoned baby?

The baby's name is "Qingzi", the daughter of the gang boss is also called "Qingzi", and Lao Jin's daughter is also called "Qingzi". These coincidences, I think, are saying that Qingzi is a symbol of children. In the Homeless trio, Lao Jin is an incompetent man who can gamble and drink well, abandoning his wife and children; Miyuki runs away from home because his father abandoned her cat and turned against his father; Hana is an uncle who recognizes himself as a woman, because Caused trouble for Mom Sang and ran away on her own. Lao Jin is the spokesperson for the father, Miyuki is the spokesperson for the daughter, and Hana is the spokesperson for the mother. Although they are not a family, they reflect the thoughts of each role in the family from one side. Haha is the brightest of them all. In the story of Lao Jin and Miyuki, it is more about the interaction between father and daughter. And hana fills in the missing mother role and even overflows. Finally, Lao Jin and Miyuki can return to the family and start a good family life again, but what about hana? There is no account. Maybe I will go back to Mama-san, maybe I will forge a fate with a taxi driver. But it's hard to have kids of your own.
