Classic Animation | Tokyo Godfathers

Compared with [ Millennium Actress ], Jin Min 's work [ Tokyo Godfather ] lacks the alternation and strong colors of dream and reality, but the same is that its content is also a story of running and pursuit plus a little absurd and miraculous . What the millennial actress is looking for is love , and in the changing of scenes and times, she is looking for the same him and the same self. The Tokyo Godfather , on the other hand, pursues the lost self, abandons the heart of escaping, and does not dare to face failure .

A Jin , who was addicted to gambling and drinking and left home, Miyuki , a girl from a rocky family, and Hanako , a former red-roofed artist who wanted to become a woman, became homeless for their own reasons. On Christmas Eve in Tokyo, God gave them an unexpected surprise. Abandoned baby girl - Kiyoko . At first, she wanted to deal with it coldly, but driven by the strong maternal love of the shemale Hanako, she started a journey of finding her mother full of miracles and tears with laughter.

Through the process of finding his mother, Jin Min expressed many social problems that often occur in modern times, such as the disadvantaged street vagabonds, people's contempt for the preciousness of life, and Miyuki was used to reflect the generation gap between children and parents; The story satirizes those who are weak and blindly avoid problems; and Hanako praises those who are not accepted but still live their own lives.

In addition, Hanako , who was also abandoned by her parents and could not be loved by her parents, understands her pain and tries her best to help Qingzi find her mother. Although Ah Jin abandoned his wife, on the other hand, he takes care of others. Jin Min still remembers it. In the darkness of decadence, the beauty of human nature is brought out.

In terms of the plot, Jin Min added many elements of plot tension at the appropriate time. The dialogue also includes inconspicuous sets, items and additional plots in the scene. These elements are humorous, unexpected, and even a little exaggerated. , but it still does not let the story go to waste, such as driving an ambulance to ask for help, wanting to take revenge and condolences to each other, crumpled banknotes, road signs suspected to be given by God, unfortunate and honest driver, etc. If you don't look at and experience the details carefully, it's hard to find Jin Min 's extra attention.

In addition, it is interesting that [ Tokyo Godfather ] seems to have a little relationship with Jesus . Kiyoko is like Jesus, and the three who help find his mother are like pilgrims. It is said that those who believe in me will have eternal life. After the three pilgrims decided to help find their mother, a series of dangers came one after another like trials. At the critical moment, they seemed to be blessed by Jesus, like a miraculous catastrophe, and on their behalf. When Qingzi found his biological parents, the three of them also found their own selves who had been afraid to face the problems that drove them to live on the streets. In short, it was very important to maintain faith.

Generally speaking, although [ Tokyo Godfather ] is not as epic and moving as [ Millennium Actress ], nor does it have the handsome men and women that ordinary animation movies have, instead, it uses the most ordinary, bottom-level and inexplicable characters, and lays out the story, The characters' personalities and scene scheduling techniques are strengthened, and the particularity of animation is brought into full play, showing different effects.
