barefoot gen 2

[nadalele]

if this film urges you to hate an entire nation then know you are planting the same bad seed in your heart that creates wars .humans are weak creatures that can cooperate to live happily this short time on earth. planting joy in somebody's heart is priceless as planting hate. I observed many hatred comments towards USA & Japan, and this is not what i hoped or desired to come out as a result of showing this film. long live to the people of USA & Japan & all earth.

What's the purpose of those hoods they wore during the air ride...anyone?

[SuperSpaceGirlTV]

Eiko is he sister, but she's also a maid

[Monkee626]

i thought those aprons were for babies, is shinji two? but then again why wouldn't he wear it? they're in war after all, they probably don't have enough moeny to buy new clothes, or their clothes are getting that dirty. it's still a bit weird tho, but i do admit, those aprons are cute on him XD

[cephiro14]

[hetimaki]

I am a Japanese To American all of you I hear it and do itI drop an A-bomb ElsewhereWar I terminate it The method

Would not there be it?

[ennorim]

@hetimaki word:P

[xiahaha]

Awesome upload! Need this for some research actually. Cheers =]

[gbatemper123]

Notice how Japan makes anime's like these, but makes no media whatsoever on the horrific things they have done themselves, in fact, they deny it. Hilarious how a right wing Japanese group easily controlled the government and prevented the Dolphin Killing movie from airing in Japan.

Dont give me "YOU RACIST" "BIAS!!!!" bullshit, because I am Japanese, American, Chinese.

[stovnergutt]

@gbatemper123 Okay, you're not up do date. The nankin massacre (the recent one) is a BIG move made by Japanese, Chinese and Americans together.. You also have Letters from iwo jima is a BIG movie that's also made by multiple cultures together.

[Mypinkyrulez]

@gbatemper123 I agree with you, but you can't deny that innocent people were killed. This is a worldwide example showing off the victims of all these wars starting with greed in the higher ranks.

Old comment, but still had to reply. D=

[JerryBarryLover]

I wish they had given up the war, but we warned that we would drop the bombs and I guess they didin't believe us...

[LadyTigerLily]

The father makes a good point about the other cities being targeted repeatedly. Not to make light of Hiroshima at all, but people often forget about the firebombing of Tokyo and how devastating that was as well.

[knighingale7]

Movie aside, those boys can be so damn annoying -~-

[gatitazero]

O__o OH ....H-E-L-L

[StopMeh]

I can't help but notice how much more younger and more fit Gen's father is compared to the original comic. 8'D

[000kafka000]

Gen's mother's name is Kimie.

According to this caption, father called her "kimei". It's false.

[growlithe13]

hell ya to that one not even werewolfs or vamps would do this o_o

[ChaosChronicle]

@StopMeh Many animals have territorial fights. Ants and other insects have full-scale wars as well. I'm sick of people being so anti-human. We're animals, we behave like what we are: Educated animals. War isn't a form of idiocy, it's a form of life. This is a part of the social evolution of man, we must learn how to avoid our own instincts for fighting, and it will take a great deal of effort to do so. I don't condone violence, but I understand its part in our world.

[StopMeh]

@ChaosChronicle The scale is still different. Animals don't ruin their surroundings while having their fights. And I'm not anti-human. I'm sick of it too. But it still doesn't mean I like everything we do, healthy criticism won't hurt. And yes, we are animals. And we act like it even though we try to be something else. I know that people act violently for their territory etc since we have our instincts, but I still dare to call war idiotic for not finding another way out. I know what you mean.

[tthir15]

@StopMeh that's because we're the only ones that are evolved. resources, intelligence (yeah right), etc. if the deer or the cow was evolved like us, they'd be just as violent and/or stupid as we are.

[hhamor]

@StopMeh We fight in such a large of scale because we fight with more advanced weaponry and motives as well as our huge population.

[QuechuaWind]

Amongst the accomplishments man seems to enjoy pursuing, is the creative ways of killing each other

[foliage4]

what kind of twisted freak pilot would strafe a city, thats terrible

[nadalele]

your kidding right? oops.

;p

[nadalele]

seriously, do you really beleive that those few people in the desert with machine guns can do that? it shows how media can really make u beleive what is abvious not true. USA army is every where in da world not the opposite. they create a monster in your heads only and then attack real people in the other side of the world, and u don't see u don't feel,u don't smell the blood, and u keep chearing to kill your imagenary monster.

[CheeseWheel3]

Why don't they just ban nuclear weapons? They're terrible, horrible things that should be destroyed.

[GnomelandSecurity]

Well, we need nukes to kill a ton of people really fast. Thats the whole point of war really, to pulverize the other 'team' (lack of a word) before they pulverize you. I know it sounds horribly but its war, it ain't supposed to be fun and pretty.

[tonyvandemil]

problem is, there will always be someone who will keep a few in his backpocket, and will be able to threaten everyone with it.

[123hailhell]

the only problem with that is nuclear weapons are the only things keeping another world war from breaking out. Fear of mass death from the usage of nuclear weapons keeps the peace.

[Bragglord]

Does anyone know where I can watch barefoot gen 2?

[KittyOnCrack]

Air raid sirens have to be the eeriest sound ever

[jooshiscrazy]

i agree. it sounds like the worlds about to be destroyed.

[lomsie]

You should watch HBO's "White Light, Black Rain." The creator of "Barefoot Gen" is interviewed and he talks about his experiences. Basically, the family here mimics the manga-ka's family, all of which died, except him and his mother, I think. I think the main point of (the documentary, among other things) this is to recognize what happened, never forget it, and never let it happen again. Now days, it is a VERY possible situation, millions of times more terrible and destructible than before.

[d3athbRinger]

well the reaction in this film is wrong ppl didnt run from the explosion sincea nuke is almost instant and litterally vaporised every 1 and no1 expected such a horific weapon

[historybuff5341]

This movie makes me feel guilty. :(

[Eneru89]

you say well

[Dannykunnn]

It's sooo sad, i watched the Grave of the fireflies i think thats what its called, but this is even sadder than that! *cry*

[d3athbRinger]

i dunno grave of the fireflys made me feel so evil and im british iits like i feel sad that we wer sided with a country that ever used a weapon like that

[tomtomtomtom44s]

Does Gen sister an dad survive

[cookerman22]

[5polark]

[freacls]

[Entei2000]
