More depression and helplessness

The background of the film is during World War II. At the beginning, they fled, and then their mother was killed. The two brothers and sisters went to the aunt's house at the invitation of the aunt. But the attitude changed when the aunt learned that their mother had died. My aunt is disgusting. I give my brother and sister rice soup, and my husband and children eat rice. Some people say that this is human nature, not to mention that when the elder brother came, he brought all the food from his family, but as a relative, seeing the two children's parents have passed away, and they are alone, don't they have any compassion in their hearts? After squeezing all their value and kicking them away, I can't understand this "human kindness".

Then my brother also had problems. I just played with my sister every day, but I didn't think of a way to go to work. My sister was so hungry that she treated glass beads as candy. It really hurt me to death.

As an animated film, this film is excellent. But as a personal feeling, I won't watch it a second time. There is no resistance in the film, and the feeling is just waiting for death quietly. The whole process is suppressed, there is no positive energy, and it is unacceptable.
