It is really a wonderful comedy, even if many of its plots are coincidences using external forces from the heavens. All its elements combine to express the emotion of Japanese family life under Christmas Eve. From the perspective of a homeless person on the fringes of society, the story is about the recovery of a baby who was abandoned to the garbage heap (invading the homeless world), connecting three different characters with different traumas and avoiding them to achieve redemption with the child. . It's a story of redemption and love, and it's also a reinterpretation of family relationships.
No child forgets their parents, and no parent forgets their children. If that's acceptable to him, that's true. It would be true if even the worst of the worst could be accepted in the presence of loved ones.
I read the whole story more than three times. So this time, from the house lights as blood strips, the windmills that show the death of life, the newspaper page that was torn in half, the overlapping of self-deception (daughter and wife died of a serious illness), on the daughter's husband, did not speak The father who knew his identity, the three homeless who rescued the drunk shop clerk by coincidence, the reflection of the deceased homeless old man and the gifts and clues left behind, the vagabond who had bad luck in gambling (in turn used to find people) Han, the homeless father who forgives the creditor who sincerely prayed for salvation and admits his mistake, the uncle who went to that person's house for the safety of the shemale girl friend... The details are so rich that it is difficult to understand all of them at the first time. It's a pity that Master Jin Min left too early. Fortunately, I can now sit at home and replay such classics over and over again.
The vitality of his lines and characters excavated is extremely strong, which makes people deeply and full of hope for the world of this Christmas Eve. Here is a world without bad guys, starting from the first scene with the church's choir, telling the principle that God does not give up on everyone. Until the end of the story, everyone gets redemption and some kind of self-actualization change just confirms this foreshadowing.
Jin Min is really a very gentle and warm-hearted master.
In the middle, they slowly began to express the regrets and regrets that the three people reflected on their own families and their past pursuits according to the different emotional changes caused by the children. They got different expressions according to their different personalities and played different roles in finding clues for the children effect. In the end all the power and miracles of all people sent the child back.
