War is fought on both sides... it's a game of death where every one loses. America, Japan, Germany, Canada, UK, Italy all commit war crimes... it's war, The innocent pay the price of the few who make the decisions. The movie never says the bombers are American, British, or anything all they ever say is "Airships" nor do they ever say "Death to America" all the characters are just trying to live as normal a life as they can during war.
THIS MOVIE IS RETARDED. all it does is say america is evil. you only like this movie because you hate americans. japan started all this when they were killing and raping koreans and the chinese during ww2. don't believe me look it up on google. japanese people are assholes and they still don't apologize for the pearl harbor or the massacre of the chinese and koreans
@bigman1171 your fucked up you dumbass, this movie is too show the horrors of war and how it effects these children, It Isnt to say that America is evil you homo. Many Americans enjoy this movie so piss off
Fuck, I can't even watch more than 15 seconds in before I start getting depressed and teary eyed just from the memories of this movie. This is the only movie that's ever been able to make me feel genuinely sick from the sadness.
if there was no bad ,wat would the good be doing?! this is sad but it teaches us how to become human. I know u guys mite not think i m making any sense but we learn sth very important frm this
I dont believe in evil i believe in bad decisions, parents make bad decisions, their child makes bad decisions and becomes a rapist for example. The child did so by example. In this fashion a government can make bad decisions, the unknowing citizens, advertise these bad ideas as good to their children, the children become soldiers who barely know what their fighting for but that they are fighting for their country. Their children are left alone when they die, forced to steal Bad decisions breed.
Depends on what you mean by better. Akira is obviously better in terms of animation quality, possibly THE best non-computer animated movie. (The DVD version of Akira is crap compared to the Blu-Ray version btw, can't make out half of the colors in the DVD ver.)
This one is better emotionally. Attention to details in Setsuko's movements and such is fantastic. Personally I think this is one of the best movies ever made.
This is Africa now. Imagine all those children dying of starvation everyday. I am lucky I have food and internet access. TT This is reality. Mark this day, I will be very rich and buy all children food with all my money. TT
@leejaedi I bought a homeless guy a coffee the other day, it was raining, i was soaked and freezing but i saw this guy sitting on the bridge and felt he needed it a lot more than me, and it felt good to be able to help him out a little, I was still thinking later and realized that there were hundreds of people like him sitting out in the rain freezing cold, needing food. Unless everyone was doing their part it wouldn't matter if I spent every cent i earned on them, it wouldn't make a difference.
@yashatasha This anime movie is an adaptation based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Akiyuki Nosaka which goes by the same name (Grave of the Fireflies). It is his hope that by writing the novel, he could atone for his failure to save his sister in post-WWII Japan. Of course, he's not trying to ask for his sister's forgiveness, he's asking for his own, since he cannot forgive himself for surviving while his sister died in the same manner Setsuko did.
i watched this about 15 years ago and i can still remember my feelings. i wanted to help them so much and the realization that i couldn't just killed me
I usually cry like crazy during a sad movie, but for some reason I couldn't cry in this one. Maybe it's because it was dubbed, but I really didn't find it that great of a movie. Not sure why, I thought this would be really fantastic, but it let me down.
The dub is horrible compared to the original. Can't think of any case where the dub is actually better than the original, so the best advice is to avoid them and stick to subtitles regardless of what language you speak. :)
I never really understood how she starved to death in such a short time. They didn't have the best food, but from that one scene with the boys who checked the place out, they had plenty of food. Buck wheat, frogs, fish, onions, and the veggies they stole.
I cried so hard during this movie. My sister died nine years ago and this movie reminded me of that time. She didn't die of starvation, but she slowly widdled away because of an illness. Watching something similar happen to Setsuko brought back the feelings of what it's like. This is such a beautiful film.
@DjSlightlyGrim I totally see wath you mean.They captured the nature of a 3 year old so perfectly in this movie. Setsuko reminds me of the child i babysit. that made this scene so real to me.
@tkoizumi i agree with you about the balance you were talking about but please don't criticize the Christians since not all Christians think they are good, i'm sure most of them think they are bad and that's why they pray and believe in God
@shljae Agree, but there are some Christians branches that give the rest of us a very bad image, anyway, As U said before, we christians pray to God in order to make us good coz we aren't, we are just sinners like everyone else, that's why we pray not only for ourselves but also for all humankind
I love this movie. I went to Japan in 2004 and found the people there very polite and friendly ( I am from Australia). I think this film is one of the most beautiful films that I have ever seen. And to the people of Japan, my heart goes out to you all in this hard time that you are all enduring. I wish I was there now helping you. God bless you all.
this movie successfuly made me cry like hell for the whole day. i remembered havnt cried like that for years! it's sooo depressing that setsuko died. i was like "no~ no~ u cnt do that mr.director~!!! plsssssss~~~~~~!!!!" and yeah, cried like hell.
how depressed it can be for struggling so hard just to live, yet it failed. this is just our view as the one who watched this movie. imagined, thousands out there who actually experience this.
My mom said she didn't like anime. I was watching this movie, she came down and sat beside me, and watched the whole thing with me. And both of us were crying. Great movie.
@thefuzzbuzzmuzzcuzz I made my mom watch it (:D) And she doesn't like anime either. Yet she bawled her eyes out. It's hard not to, this movie is fantastic.
This movie destroys me,i cant bare to see it again,so powerful,so heartbreaking..i just cant bare seeing the kids suffer so badly...war is evil and cruel,how people can start them,fight them....i just cant understand..The most powerful film iv ever seen.The most heartbreaking.
@Chokolade2630 Because his little sister was all he had and she was gravely ill. She was delirious. I think you'd cry if your little sister was delirious.
I don't understand how a few folks on here have made some very rude comments about this movie. I think this movie touches more on the so called "collateral damage" everyone says it so easily during "any" war. Some of these so called collateral damages take years to come to fruition. So please try to somewhat respectable. Thanks.
the movie is based on a true story, except the older borther that dies in the movie actually grows up in real life and is the man whole made this movie. he lost everyone, most notably his little sibling, in WWII.
@IsItOnTab Have you seen the movie? If you had, unless you were the most cruel, cynical, indifferent, unemotional person in the world you would not be saying that!
I want to donate for an anti-war effort, where can I receive information and who can I ask about how to do that?.. I searched the net and there is not much about it but I'll search more.. War Child looks promising but can people from abroad donate too (I'm in The Netherlands)?
This is the problem with Christian society. They are thought either they are good or evil and embrace the good with fullest and avoid the evil. That works in some extent but very shallow. Us Japanese are taught not only to embrace the good but also the evil. There is a balance in everything no matter how chaotic. In a real world, there are no such thing as good or bad people. Not ever!
Not only Christians do this; Muslims too. And not all Christians do. You sound mighty preachy by saying that Japan embraces both good and evil. Pretty weird considering this is based in Japan and no one's doing anything, eh?
@tkoizumi This is the last place for thoughtful theological conversation to take place, but that isn't what Christianity teaches. Good is emphasized so much for Christians in order for us to learn to hope for it in ourselves and in our society. In my experience, I've learned to embrace badness as well for the good that will rise up because of it, though I will never embrace evil or cruelty. True Christianity does't label people on goodness because we are judged only by God's infinite Knowing.
@tkoizumi No, that's not the problem. Did you and I actually see the same film? It doesn't matter what set of beliefs you follow. You may be a Christian, a Muslim, a Shintoist, a Mormon or a Scientologist, it doesn't matter - war just destroys. There is no logical explanation for the deaths of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends. No poet can express the suffering. No religion can explain why these two had to lose their parents and die. No 'loving' god can justify their suffering.
@Am0nknight1234 typical doesnt want to accept the dark side of life strugling forever against them selfs.Afraid of something inevitable.war is sad,war justyfies deaths,lifes justyf
@MyDenis0 What are you trying to say here? Can you please try to make your point more clearer to me. I'm not trying to condescend or patronise you. I only want to be certain of the message you're trying to convey so that I can respond to that properly.
Once again, I do not want to give you the impression that I'm belittling you.
@Am0nknight1234 no youre right i wrote very confusing and miss spelled alot like now i think.(im not english).But the point is that you dont want to justify war.You dont want to understand war like you do with love you dont want to understand the other side of human nature you dont want to find an explenation beacuse you cant accept death and so you dramatize and make a hypocrite of youreself.Like tkoizumi wrote life has good and bad things and faster you accept it the better youl be.
@tkoizumi I realize what you are saying, and I agree, but I do not agree with how you call out chirstian society. I am a chirstian, and I may not be a typical christian, but I can realize that evil is in the world and that it will not go away. All Chrisitans realize this, and we also realize that there is evil in everyone :/
@LuckyPalms You're blind to the fact that there is no perfect solution. There is no system that will rid the world of its ills. Life is a constant series of situations whereby you try your hardest to be objective and make good decisions, but you cannot avoid making bad ones. There is no such thing as evil, there are reasons behind everything, it doesn't justify anything but it explains it.
@chuk90 this hapends in esten europe every fuking day .. sad, it's sad what money make to this world .. sad, wish that one day the rest will weekup and understand .. that ... we are all .. one pice !
Think I was nearly "there" throughout most of the movie...but my "peak" moment came at the end, or near the end, when the girl says "come back soon and play..."
Everything just came together in that few seconds of speech :(
the scene when setsuko after following all the way to the police station searching her brother and asks seita , "should i get a doctor for u seita" despite her being sick ...really blowed my tear tanks apart, started cryin thereafter profusely.....my peak scene
i have seen many in their comments braggin about the country at fault(US or JAPAN)...the truth is everyone know wat japan did is wrong...but even THINKING OF ANNIHILATING decimating EVERY LIVING human SOUL in a fraction of a second sends CHILLS down the spine...THERE IS no remorse watsover for wat those savage barbarians did.
one thing i learnt from this movie thank god for the life i am having not perfect but i really know it now my life is far better than others lets thank god for the life he gave us
@YOUSCREWBER: THAT WAS A ROCK... SEITA HAD TAHT REACTION BECAUSE HE SAW HOW HUNGRY HER SISTER IS BUT STILL SHE THINKS OF HER BROTHER... THIS PART MADE ME TEARED UP... SEITA WENT OUT TO GET SOME RICE TO FEED HER SISTER AND WHEN HE COMES BACK SETSUKO IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. HE SOON FOUND SETSUKO LYING ON THE GRASS NOT FAR FROM THEIR CAVE HALF DEAD.
I just can't watch this movie . U know actually I feel scared when I watch this. I am very scared of watching this movie because it is just soo depressing, dark, sad.
@MrVogelz And that's why it's a wonderful movie. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster leaving you sobbing uncontrollably by the end. It's quite an amazing feeling, the sadness this movie produces, it's unimaginably deep!
@L0v3Namine its a movie by steven speilberg and its about the holocaust and that movie almost made me cry. trust that movie is like 2x sadder than this. of course thats not to say that this movie sux which doesn't
I remeber when I watched it first time. I couldn't stop crying twenty minutes after film ended. I've seen this film like three times and every time I cried so hard.
i was kid when i watched this movie xD

In my experience, I've learned to embrace badness as well for the good that will rise up because of it, though I will never embrace evil or cruelty. True Christianity does't label people on goodness because we are judged only by God's infinite Knowing.

@tkoizumi No, that's not the problem. Did you and I actually see the same film? It doesn't matter what set of beliefs you follow. You may be a Christian, a Muslim, a Shintoist, a Mormon or a Scientologist, it doesn't matter - war just destroys. There is no logical explanation for the deaths of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends. No poet can express the suffering. No religion can explain why these two had to lose their parents and die. No 'loving' god can justify their suffering.

@MyDenis0 What are you trying to say here? Can you please try to make your point more clearer to me. I'm not trying to condescend or patronise you. I only want to be certain of the message you're trying to convey so that I can respond to that properly.
Once again, I do not want to give you the impression that I'm belittling you.

@Am0nknight1234 no youre right i wrote very confusing and miss spelled alot like now i think.(im not english).But the point is that you dont want to justify war.You dont want to understand war like you do with love you dont want to understand the other side of human nature you dont want to find an explenation beacuse you cant accept death and so you dramatize and make a hypocrite of youreself.Like tkoizumi wrote life has good and bad things and faster you accept it the better youl be.

@tkoizumi I realize what you are saying, and I agree, but I do not agree with how you call out chirstian society. I am a chirstian, and I may not be a typical christian, but I can realize that evil is in the world and that it will not go away. All Chrisitans realize this, and we also realize that there is evil in everyone :/

@LuckyPalms You're blind to the fact that there is no perfect solution. There is no system that will rid the world of its ills. Life is a constant series of situations whereby you try your hardest to be objective and make good decisions, but you cannot avoid making bad ones. There is no such thing as evil, there are reasons behind everything, it doesn't justify anything but it explains it.

@tkoizumi Anyone with a half decent education is advised that things are relative/contextual/many shades of grey. That is not unique to Japan.

@MrVogelz And that's why it's a wonderful movie. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster leaving you sobbing uncontrollably by the end. It's quite an amazing feeling, the sadness this movie produces, it's unimaginably deep!
