In those summer nights, there were crickets and frogs singing in the fields beside the road, and I was always chasing and running with my childhood playmates barefoot, and then one day I was surprised to find one or several fireflies clinging to the fields. Or the bright and dark flashes in the grass are always so abrupt and distinct in the dark night. So I will approach them carefully, and then gently hold them in the palm of my hand. It was incredible to see the flickering light in the palm of my hand. Seeing it gently leave the palm of the hand and fly in the darkness, the green light is always so happy.
And the old people in our place call fireflies firefly. There is also a sentence after the break, the fire glows brightly, and I wake up at night to make soup. But I don't understand the meaning of this sentence. And the old people say that if a firefly flies into the house, then prepare a good meal, because there will be guests tomorrow. So, I would grab a firefly and bring it home, and watch it cling to the tent, flickering on and off. Then happily wait for the arrival of the guests the next day.
But it doesn't always work.
At that time, in the night, I could never see the real firefly. Seeing the light flashing on the buttocks, I really want to see what it looks like. In the night surrounded by darkness, the beauty is unparalleled. So I will grab one and put it in a bottle of mineral water and see how it looks after dawn.
The result was a big disappointment, it was not as beautiful as imagined, and it was much uglier than ordinary bugs.
The fireflies in the movie are all computer-generated effects, which always seem so unreal.
Looking at the empty eyes of the actor and the forced joy, everything seems too contrived. At this time, I can only give him a middle finger in my heart.
about this movie.
The opening line of the protagonist of the story is "I starved to death on the street on the night of September 21, 1944." The boy's expressionless soul looked at his tattered body.
In a place where countless beautiful fireflies flickered with fragrant grass, the boy found the soul of his younger sister Setsuko. The younger sister looked at his elder brother with joy. The can, and then handed it to my sister, smiled and held her hand, and disappeared from the camera.
In an unmanned train carriage, a firefly floats by. My sister couldn't open the candy jar and handed it to my brother. The older brother unscrewed the candy jar with a smile and gave it to his younger sister. The younger sister gave a piece to the elder brother, eating the candy in her mouth, and dangling her feet happily. The background music is warm and splendid, just right to set off the brother's love for his sister. Everything seemed so natural.
The rest is a boy's memory.
Mom died in an air raid. He ran under the fire with his sister on his back. Knowing the news of his mother's death, he defected to his aunt's house in the distance without telling his sister.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and his aunt's mean and bitter face made him and his sister never have a full meal. So he decided to leave his aunt's house and settle down in a humble and dark cave. Those first days were simple and happy. At night, the teenagers caught many fireflies in the small cave, illuminating their faces. But the fireflies died the next day. My sister dug a small pit and buried the firefly's body. Setsuko said that her aunt had already told her the news of her mother's death, why the life of her mother and Firefly was so short. The boy who had never shed tears, burst into tears.
After the haze dissipated, the younger sister was innocent, running happily, giggling, and chasing and playing with her brother. However, the teenager gradually changed out of the clothes left by his mother. The younger sister also got sick because of malnutrition.
He started stealing food for his sister and treating her sickness. But was caught. Beaten all over. Was taken to the police station.
After coming out of the police station, my brother hugged his sister and cried uncontrollably.
There was still artillery fire, and people ran in panic. And he, running around the houses, stealing food and clothing. After returning from the debt, he happily smiled and said, let's blow up, let's keep blowing up.
He happily ran back to the small cave. But now my younger sister can only lie in a small cave gradually. And her thin face can only open her mouth to chew the food handed over by her brother.
It was like a bolt from the blue for him to learn that he was defeated and that his father could not come back. And the story is gradually coming to an end. The emaciated and seriously ill sister died without nutritious food and treatment. Teenagers make things worse.
In some other homes, the family reunited, and the joyous atmosphere set off the desolation of his life and death from his family. He was cremated at the hill with his sister's body. Countless fireflies fly out of the fiery red background at night. So the story ends.
The background is some days before the end of World War II. The story is painful. War is cruel. But it's all up to little Japan. Although, this is nothing but innocent people. And these are just a small price. Recently, Japan has started to be arrogant again. wipe.
Contentment is always happy, and people who are not content will be unhappy. But people are often not satisfied. In today's peaceful era, we can't understand the people of that era without experiencing the lack of food and clothing. Just like the post-70s can't understand the post-80s, and the post-80s can't understand the post-90s.
Forehead. far away. Not to mention.
