I believe there are Seitas and Setsukos right now in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. I pray that they be given the strength to keep their chins above the water no matter how bleak their circumstances are.

God, I never cried so much in a movie, and I normally don't cry.

In this movie my tears came right from the beginning

[nikkinoddle9419]

Never cried so much for a movie EXCEPT for MAYBE "The Color Purple" but it's pretty hard to beat...

[MrKallop10]

This movie made my life turn around and my tears came as a waterfall

@Kari166 all i could of think of is pearl harbor and 9/11. matter of fact, its only 9/11 since pearl harbor was attacked on a military base.

no japan does not have a military, read article 9 of the japanese constitution.

[Kari166]

@sawdudeful, we haven't? Right.

Japan does have a military.

@TheTheDeclaration OMG dude, give it a rest. The movie is about a boy and his sister desperately trying to escape death during the war.

[ryxiaddicted10]

@TheTheDeclaration His aunt said that he and Setsuko were freeloaders and she couldn't care less if they went off to live in the shelters. Seito is already orphaned; he didn't any more problems like an aunt's admonishments.

Another thing: it's true that authorities in Japan have ignited the flames of war, but not everyone in Japan supported this decision. There WERE casualties in Japan, too. Don't get me wrong. I feel terrible for China and Korea as well.

The tragedy of war... I have children... I have been in a war with too many civilian deaths.

However on 6th December 1941 Americans were drinking beer, dancing, getting ready for Christmas and thanking God they were not at war. Or should I say "tell this to twenty million Chinese, or Koreans, or Thais, or Philipinos, or..."

[speedofpee]

@TheTheDeclaration agreed. i guess the best thing this movie could try to convey is that everyone suffered during wars, especially civilians who weren't at fault for any of the war crimes. however, a movie like this would most likely overshadow what the japanese did to the chinese during this time, especially to the younger japanese population who know NOTHING about the rape of nanking from their history books.

The movie was good but i couldnt watch more than once. It was an incredably sad story and it brock my heart. I rarely cry durring movies but i did end up crying durring this movie it was just depressing.
