Animated film "この世界の鳳にに" (in this corner of the world) 2016 directed by Naoka Kabuchi. It's the best movie I've seen this year, far surpassing "July and An Sheng". From the end of 1933 to the end of 1945, the life of an ordinary little girl, Suzu Urano, who lived in Hiroshima and later married to the military port of Wu City, and the fine capture of the details of life, seems plain and touching, like white clouds flowing quietly in the sky. Just as natural and beautiful. With the development of the plot, the silent bitterness, sadness and anguish hidden deep in the nonchalant picture seem to seep out from the picture. However, it is understated, containing but not revealing, sad but not hurt. The film truly reproduces the customs and people of that era, and is a portrait of living history. It should have a stronger resonance in the eyes of the local people at that time. The protagonist loves life and is optimistic. The hardships of life did not defeat her, but putting such a heavy theme on such a thin character is unbearable. It's amazing at portraying the depth of the war. Haven't seen it in the country.
