Grave of the Fireflies

innocent death

"Goodbye Firefly" is the first Miyazaki Jun's work I have seen, and it is also his most realistic one. Imaginative things are of course good, but I prefer realism, preferably "dream into reality" -- this is the name of Xu Jinglei's new film.
    There are few cartoons with such serious theme and strong tragic color.
    Animation has its own advantages, the beauty of the picture, the idealization of the character's modality, and so on.
    The story is ordinary, the trauma of...

Not selling miserably, not seeking sympathy, but a reflection and self-irony of Japan's World War II history

It is probably the third time I rewatched it today. Maybe I still don’t have enough knowledge before. When I watch it today, the first simple question is why the protagonist doesn’t work? Anyone who participates in a militia organization or works for the peasants should be able to get along with the meal. Only in the second half of the film do they realize that the normal narrative that may be brought about by abandoning labor is to elicit the burning, looting, and stealing of...

When a soft childhood met a sharp war

A dirty old rag doll, a box of fruit candy that has been rinsed clean, is her entire childhood.
The sparkling and agile fireflies flying all over the sky, together with the bombs whistling sharply above her head, constituted the whole sky of her childhood.
When she pointed to the most common unclaimed corpse of that era with wide innocent eyes and asked her brother why this man was lying here, when she cried loudly to take the mother who was about to be sold from her aunt. When the...

afterthought without title

I cried for 79 minutes in an 89-minute movie. It took two days to watch it off and on. At one point, I felt that the collapse needed to be calmed down before I could continue watching.

-I once thought that as the country that initiated the war, if it is a democracy, then the people need to take part of the responsibility for the war. But now I feel that even if the politicians are elected by them (of course, in the case of this movie, the emperor should not...

My brother's unreliability killed my sister

Avoid the war first, and let’s not talk about difficult topics such as human nature. It can only be seen from the development of the story of Chint and his sister’s life after losing his parents that Chint should take a large part of the responsibility for his sister’s and his own death.
In the movie, my brother is at least 15 years old, the age of a junior high school student or even a high school student, but we saw that when he was staying at my aunt's house, he only knew how to run...

? / It's a fool to die, a little boy who has half the survival consciousness of the male protagonist of "what is home" will not starve his sister to death, how can he not starve himself to death if he is hungry? I rolled my eyes when the words "Empire of Japan" were...

Poor but unsympathetic First, because of the times, although civilians were always innocent in the war, there was really no way to get out of that era to sympathize with Japan at that time. Second, because it was obvious that I could earn money to support my sister through labor, but I always wanted to be rescued. Third, it was sensational. Too violent, although the tragedy is logical, but too many shots are conveying a kind of value that is unacceptable if you are...

I don't know how to evaluate this film. It's very contradictory. As a human being, I will sympathize with them. But as a Chinese, I always think about who is the aggressor and who is the victim. But there is a just war in war. And unjust war, this film is too ambiguous, not mentioning the crimes he committed, trying to whitewash himself as a victim,...

This work highlights the history of serious class division in Japan during World War II, and the rulers continued to carry out crazy aggressive wars regardless of the lives of the people; by linking fireflies with the aggression fleet, the author implicitly told the audience: Japanese devils can only be rampant for a while, and eventually they will don't live long like a...

Not necessarily who is more painful than the other, but your expression is more wonderful. It turns out that there is a brother-sister relationship hidden behind the Japanese hard-box fruit candy bought in the former imported food...
