Review of Tokyo Godfathers (2003) by Keenan S — 19 Jul 2013
Tokyo Godfathers is a surprising, inventive, heartfelt, and quirky Christmas drama about three oddball homeless characters trying to find the parents of an abandoned baby. The premise itself is simple on paper.
but the film turns out to be one crazy ride of emotion, humor, redemption, chase scenes, and a whole lot more. One thing that makes this film so special is that it feels so unpredictable and you never know what's going to happen next, though I shouldn't be surprised by this since it was directed by the same director of films like Millennium Actress and Paprika (Both of which are also really awesome).
While some might bash this film for not being like the typical fantasy or sci-fi anime, those people are missing out and it sucks to be them since they can't appreciate something outside of their confined boxes.
While I feel cheesy for saying this, Tokyo Godfathers is a truly magical drama that even had me choked up at some parts and laughing constantly throughout. If you are someone who enjoys seeing films outside the box, you must see this superb drama.
