tokyo godfathers

東京教父(東京ゴッドファーザーズ/Tokyo Godfathers (2003))在去年的動畫展裡大出鋒頭,不過,同期同受矚目的「大雨大雨一直下」與佳麗村的三姐妹似乎比前者在台灣更顯風光,我還在想為什麼?

 但,總之,這是一部值得關注的動畫,如果你同樣也欣賞「大雨大雨一直下」或「佳麗村的三姐妹」的話。

Homeless Hana (Yoshiaki Umegaki) is an ex-drag queen who prays for the miracle of her own baby after attending a Christmas Pageant. Lo and behold, when Hana and her makeshift family of Gin (Toru Emori), an alcoholic ex-bicycle racer and Miyuki (Aya Okamoto), a young runaway, root through the trash to gift each other, they find a most unexpected parcel - an abandoned baby girl which Hana wishes to keep and names Kiyoko. Gin and Miyuki insist that the better course of action is to find the baby's parents and so the threesome begin an amazing adventure as "Tokyo Godfathers." Cowriter (with Keiko Nobumotoo)/character designer/director Satoshi Kon, whose last animation, "Millennium Actress," tackled the history of Japan and Japanese cinema, progresses yet again with his delightful exploration of alternative family that is "Tokyo Godfathers." Using the same cyclical style of screenwriting as "Actress," where characters' stories continually reflect onto others like a rippling pool, Satoshi also tips his hat to the religious symbolism of John Ford's "Three Godfathers" while becoming the first animator to address the issue of homelessness.
