Grave of the Fireflies movie plot
2022-01-26 08:04
A ragged young man lying dying in a bustling station, slowly approaching the end of his short life at 14 years old, this is Japan more than a month after defeat.
The air raid began, and my mother unfortunately passed away in the bombing. In the face of the sudden blow, all the brother can do is to hide the news of his mother's death from the younger sister. In the empty square, the elder brother smiled hard and performed a horizontal bar for the crying sister who was looking for his mother. The two thin figures looked so thin in the sunset. Perhaps, at that moment, the elder brother tried to carry all the sorrow, and decided to lift a clear sky for the younger sister on the chaotic ruins.
The siblings can only go to depend on relatives. However, war has alienated family relationships, and material poverty has made people indifferent to each other. More and more white eyes and less and less rice in the bowl suggested that they must leave. The elder brother finally decided to take his sister to move away and build a home of his own. However, while singing and leaving happily, how could he expect the tragic and irreversible fate of the war.
In order to make my sister no longer hungry, my brother had to risk his life to steal while the plane was bombing. Whenever someone goes to find some food in an empty room, he will be extremely excited.
In the dark abandoned cave, my brother caught the fireflies in the mosquito net, and the flying fireflies were extinguished in the sultry late night of summer. The elder brother hugged his sleeping sister tightly, for fear that he would lose it once he let go.
