Tokyo Godfathers

Reading Criminal of Poverty reminded me of an animated film, Tokyo Godfathers. The movie is about three homeless people who live in Tokyo, and they find an abandoned baby girl on Christmas Eve. The whole movie is their attempts to care for the baby and returning her to the birth parents.

I really like the movie for all the little subtle actions in the movie that demonstrate how people usually treat homeless people, like standing as far as possible away from them on public transport. Another interesting aspect of the movie is the back stories of how each of them became homeless, like running away from a large gambling debt.

Anyway, it's a movie that I'd like to recommend for everyone.
