yeah this video is so great is this a true story?? it made cry while i watching it. even if i want to hide because im shy to show it but still i cry my tears fell.. :(
Very nice video. I too saw this one a long time ago. I must say that the scene at the end of the video where the sister is fanning the flame of the "pretend cooking fire" is interposed with the scene of the dying flames of her funeral pyre is very striking.
It's so hard for me to watch this movie, not just becuase it is incredibly sad but also because Setsuko reminds me so much of my little sister. Watching her suffer is like watching my little sister suffer.

Many Japanese soldiers were teachers and normal people doing normal jobs but once they enter the war they became madmen.Apparently, they channel their hatred on the Chinese for making the Sino-Japanese war so lengthy, they think by killing the war would end and they can go home quicker.
I think the real message is that it was neither America or Japan's fault. This movie was trying to show the terrible effects any war has, and to me it has succeded
I try to look at bolth ends of it all. I've watched movies about American struggles through the war and Pearl harbor. But I've also watched Japan's side to it too. My stepdad got mad when I told him I thought what we did to Japan was just as wrong as what they did to us. But I don't mind, I think maybe he will be able to understand it like I can some day. :)
we were almost as much to blame as japan. who were the ones who bombed japan and killed innocent men, women and children. you can't lay the blame on one country and this could quite easily be true in lots of cases
Damn it why did I watch this? I'm crying now...

simplesmente um dos melhores filmes feitos pela humanidade.
digo "filmes" por que ele ganha de desenhos e de filmes disparado.
compara isso com uma Mierda do spielberg : "império do Sol"...
com este você chora de emoção.
com o do spielberg você chora de raiva de ter gastado o dinheiro da entrada.
