Tokyo Godfathers-there will be warmth in the cold world

This is the first Kim Min's work I have seen.

The content of the film may not be novel. Three scavengers and a small baby constitute a one-and-a-half-hour video. However, the touch it brings me may last a lifetime.

The three wanderers are the protagonists of course. But under the thoughts of Mr. Jin Min, those who walk in the cold city are all warm people. They are all ordinary people, either doing small business, or sitting in the office, and occasionally passing the street, but they still have the power to move people. Against them, the actions of the three protagonists seem to make us feel at ease.

Look, those tiny moments.

[Three Fragments]

Fragment 1.

About that South American wife.

Miyuki was kidnapped by a South American man and taken home. One was an ordinary girl who ran away from home, and the other was a woman who drifted across the sea with her husband. Miyuki stayed with the man's wife just like that. Although the two have different languages, this does not hinder their communication. Women are gentle. The audience did not know the origin of the foreign couple, nor did they know why the man wanted to make a gun case and why he wanted to take Miyuki away. However, the wife's gentle expression and contemptuous language seemed to make people think: "Ah, there should be many reasons." Yes. Everything in the world can't be said easily. Just as every family has hard to recite sutras, everyone does everything for their own reasons. Even if I can't explain it clearly. When I saw Miyuki and a woman lying on the carpet, talking with a woman who didn't understand the language, when I saw Miyuki spread out the photo of her father she was carrying with him, and explained "FATHER" to the woman, then she shed tears, My weak lacrimal gland was also touched unconvincingly.

Fragment 2.

About the hapless taxi driver.

Maybe this dear driver can't think about why he should be such a bad thing at such a beautiful Christmas stall. Four times, four times I met these three people. When Miyuki was kidnapped by a South American man for the first time, he was in his car. He might think: It's bad luck, such a thing once is enough. However, contrary to expectations, the scavengers once again patronized his business. The second time, Ahua and Ajin quarreled, and went alone to find Miyuki and the baby Kiyoko who were taken away. It was just such a coincidence, Ahua got into his car and found Miyuki and Kiyoko by his clues. He still sighed: God, don't do this for the third time. And the gods always have no time to take care of ordinary people. The hapless driver met Ahua and Miyuki who were looking for a mother for Qingzi. Finally, for the fourth time, with his help, the three caught up with Kiyoko who was taken away by the fake mother Sachiko. The appearance of this kind driver often makes me hilarious. Every chance encounter between him and Akin will make me feel at ease. I have to say that he is an important medium for reuniting Qingzi and his parents. This is the power of "ordinary people." Everyone will always have an opportunity to play an important role in his life. I believe so.

Fragment 3.

About those family members.

Ajin, Ahua, Miyuki. They all think they are abandoned. It turns out that they have never been abandoned by anyone.

Since he left home, Ah Jin's wife and daughter have never given up the idea of ​​seeing him again. Although Ahua has no relatives, his friends, those "women" with heavy makeup in the bar, are clearly his closest family members. Miyuki can be said to be the happiest, young and healthy, with healthy parents, but because she did not get the care of her father, she did something to hurt each other and made herself unable to look back. But when she saw the revelation from her father in the newspaper: "To Miyuki. ANGEL has returned, so you should go home." She knew that her father loved herself. The three of them have never been abandoned by their families. very nice. For this reason, I have always believed that family affection is the greatest force in the world.

This is the Godfather of Tokyo. Does the godfather in the title refer to Ajin's group? I am not sure. But everyone in the world is the godfather who saves himself. I have been depressed some time ago, and I have repeatedly doubted my attitude towards life. As a student, I am depressed and do not seem to have the vigor of the vigorous young people. As a daughter, I may be indifferent to my family, because my parents and I are both idiots who are not good at speech, and both sides have been hurting each other. Perhaps it is because of this that I am quite touched by Miyuki's story. I don’t know how many people are in a similar situation to me, and how many people are consuming and eating away their futures day and night. However, we are all thinking and we are all living. Since life is here, we should do our best to it. We are all responsible people. So-just as Ahua said when he handed Qingzi to the desperate Sachiko: "This child is a child loved by God. Please give her a lot of love." Let us treat ourselves well, not just like that. I'm so sorry for the gods who made us born in the world.

The end of the film is the fulfillment we are looking forward to. The three of Ah Jin tried their best to save everyone's lives. Sachiko's awakening and Kiyoko's return made us breathe a sigh of relief. The moment A Hua fell downstairs to save Qingzi, the dazzling sun rose from the dull concrete forest and reflected on everyone's tired face. Such a simple scene touched me easily. Suddenly there was a sentence in my mind: "No matter how cold the world is, there will surely be warmth." The

three of them are lucky. Mr. Jin Min gave them too many coincidences and arranged too many paths for them, so that they can lead to our hearts. Anyway, we are very useful anyway. We are just ordinary people living in the big world, and the thinking spoiled by the joyful drama always longs for happy ending. However, in many cases we have to go against our will to live, why not just enjoy the pure touch?

But I was thinking, as expected, Ah Hua and the others would hand over Qingzi to the police. But if that were the case, such a moving intersection of warm and cold in the world would not be presented to us.

    20180817 @Macao Romance Film Studio repainted the Chinese Valentine's Day and changed it to five stars. At the moment when the last gust of wind blew, my tears flowed down. Jin Min's setting of this moment as no soundtrack was a stroke of genius. // 20150423 The story is well told~

    It can be called an animation of a movie, sincerely watching those poor and down-to-earth people, truly feeling their bitterness, helplessness and joy, and people's spirit and emotion throughout. The miracle about that baby (Qingko) is the kindness and kindness of this world. And Christmas is no longer a gospel preached aloud, but a journey of three homeless people in search of a home.
