coat of story

As a storyteller, no matter what medium is used, be it text or video, the most fearful thing is to hear the audience say something like this: "It's too fake, it's impossible." For those realist writers, There is less pressure on this. However, for those believers of formalism whose imagination is overwhelming, they must always be wary of sophisticated audiences piercing their painstakingly created dreams.

Jin Min is such an author, he focuses on telling those "incredible things". In order for the story to stand, he had to put all sorts of coats on the unbelievable. "Millennium Actress"'s coat is a movie. In this way, Kim tries to make the heroine's improbable obsession easy to accept. This approach was not completely successful, and many viewers did not buy it, saying that they could not understand the behavior of the heroine. The coat of "Red Pepper" is a dream, which is a panacea (no one will question whether the dream is real), but the mystery and obscurity of the dream itself also affects the intelligibility of the film, and it becomes too brain-burning. One of these two stories is unbelievable, and the other is difficult to understand. Although they are colorful and gorgeous, they still cannot avoid flaws. When it came to "The Godfather of Tokyo", Jin Min resorted to the most effective ecstasy soup in human history-religion. All coincidences can be interpreted as miracles, all meanings can point to redemption. The issues of "credibility" and "comprehension" were solved in one go. Unless you're an outright atheist, it's a bummer to question such a wonderful and heartwarming film. Jin Min said that "Tokyo Godfather" is his most satisfying movie. I guess because he knows that this movie can capture the hearts of all audiences. Anyway, he won me over - I'll be living off this film every Christmas from now on.

    When Hua hugged Qingzi and grabbed the banner and fell down, the voice suddenly became quiet, the wind suddenly picked up, and the sky suddenly dawned. I was moved beyond words. Thank you, Master Jin Min.

    It's pretty good looking, it's like the kind of adventure comedy movies that the French like to make when they are piled up together and finally all smashed down. But what is confusing is that there is no need to make it into an animation... The storytelling performances are very cinematic, and I can't see the animation as a genre that escapes the space outside the live-action movie, so I don't understand it. The Ode to Joy with rewritten lyrics at the end of the film is pretty good.
