My Dad is a Heel Wrestler/ パパはわるものチャンピオン/ Papa wa Warumono Champion (2018)

🎥 The man behind the Cockroach (Gokiburi) Mask!! 


Reflection 
I got a chance to attend the screening of 'My Dad is a Heel Wrestler', as part of the Japanese Film Festival(2019), organized by Japan Foundation in collaboration with PVR Cinemas in Delhi. The following questions came to my mind as I walked out of the movie theater with my friends:
What if sometimes we have to be rather act as the bad guy to get things done ?    
How can we judge others based on what he/she does for a living ?
What value does an hero have in the absence of a villain ?
How can we teach our kids the difference between playing a bad guy and being a bad guy ?
