People seem to think that the ending is the sad part of the movie but the entire movie is a tragedy because we already know that seita dies in the beginning and seeing as he's alone, we can predict that setsuko died before him. That's why the saddest moments are when you see the 2 innocent children playing and having a short but beautiful childhood because it's all going to end. Everytime you saw them happy, your heart broke because you wished that their happiness could last forever, but unfortunately it was short-lived. This movie is probably the most important movie ever made. It is an encyclopedia that teaches us that innocence and playfulness can still exist but wars and conflicts kill all hope and beauty.
Actually the brother in this movie have made this movie & film he thought he will die after that but fortunately he survived & present us such a beautiful story he died in 2015 he lived for 85 years but the best part because of this story he is known well
this movie made me realise how lucky i am to have the things i currently do. a proper shelter, enough food, and so many other things. I can only imagine how hard it would have been for these kids to survive in those conditions. its best to always be grateful to what you have. there are people in places like africa, india living in poverty for many years. cant afford food or basic health facilities. just try to imagine what they must go through every day just in order to survive.
It makes me feel badly for all the children caught in the middle of the war in Syria. They are not only being killed by guns and bombs, but also by starvation and malnutrition.
Setsuko: Seita. Have one. [Holds out rocks] Seita: Setsuko, what? Setsuko: Rice balls. I made them for you. Here, have one. [Seita starts crying] Setsuko: You don't want them? Seita: Setsuko. [Cries] Setsuko: Seita. Thank you. Seita: She never woke up again.
you know what's more sad than the movie itself ? thousands of kids are having the same situation around the world . I swear when i have enough money I'll pay so much of it to charity to help war children
THANK YOU for this day and comment. I used to think the same, but now that I started earning, I totally forgot about chairty. My own expenses overpowered my altruism. Thank you for reminding the bigger purpose. May god bless you.
But he actually in real life didn't die this movie story was the autobiography of the brother present in this movie he lived for 85 years and he died in 2015 he was the one who presented us such a beautiful story & he was known for this movie Akiyuki Nosaka was his name
The first time I watched this, I felt extremely depressed and hopeless. I didn't know how to deal with the absolute lack of any kind of happy ending. It basically left me in an avoidant, slightly confused mood, whilst at the same time, somewhat sad. This was at age 16, a young teenager full of insecurity and with much bigger concerns than really thinking about why a film was made, or what it meant. Fast forward to last night. I am age 23, and live at home with my mother and father who are foster carers; they are looking after a 4 year old girl. I was browsing through the DVD rack, and stumbled upon "Grave of the Fireflies". After reading over the back again, I decided that it was worth a re-watch, as my memory was somewhat hazy, and the blurb and reviews intrigued me. This time, the movie completely emotionally destroyed me. I cried throughout, and had a constant feeling of utter sadness. Over the past month, I have really bonded with the young girl that my parents are fostering, so much so that she almost feels like a little sister of mine. It's funny how, as an adult, truly devoting your time to the care of a young child can build up the knowledge within yourself of just how pure and important a child is. They are non-judgmental, happy, creative and unbelievably strong and positive in some of the post painful human conditions. She has gone through so much in her short life, and yet she can wake up every morning and smile. She has lost her biological parents, and yet she is so much stronger than so many adults. I realised that this film really hits that message home; children are the reason we should strive to make this world better. We must fight every day to make this world, with all of its hardship and all of its grief, a safer, happier place for the children of the world. That is why, the death of the little girl in this film, is the greatest of criminal acts committed by us adults. Whether we are the instigators of war, or the people who show reluctance and selfishness when it comes to shouldering the responsibility to look after the most vulnerable children, we are committing an enourmous crime. We can not let the children down.
Alice Lost I understand exactly how you feel ,it’s all about the children. No matter what .we need to take care of them with positive guidance for eternity
when I watched this movie for the first time I cried uncontrollably like a baby and when I was finally able to stop crying I had to call my step-mom and tell her to tell my sisters for me that I love them, then I hung up the phone and broke down into tears again :'( I'm 27 and I'm a pretty tough guy so it takes A LOT to make me cry, for a film to be able to absolutely destroy my heart and soul like G.O.T.F. it has to be EXTREMELY POWERFUL, I cried off and on for 3 days :'(
I've only watched this film once and once was enough. I felt numb after. I wont be able to watch this film again, it was too sad. Knowing its based on real life events and that this is the reality of children of war, it makes you cry :'(
+Sam Y I've watched it 5 times or so, it's a movie I like to watch once per year, like The Godfather. Every time I see it, I'm unable to hold back myself. I've read the book too and it's even worse than the movie, I cried reading that too. Along with the godfather it's my favourite movie.
Gustavo Sandoval The Godfather is an amazing film! Knowing how much I cried watching the film, I probably be unable to read the book. But its a touching nonetheless
kamakzite? in that case you shouldnt have been born at all.. i am not justicifing the idiots that was thrown against someone else? nah mate, stand up, please....
i once tried to share this masterpiece with an ex-girlfriend, so i adviced her to give it a try, she did but she surprised me with her total indifference after watching it, she said it was boring and that she felt nothing special. i was shocked cause i always thought she was a delicate and emotional girl... no she wasn't , so i started to think there's something wrong with her but forgot about it easily... few days after i discovered bad things about her, she was definitely not a person i can trust or rely on and we brooke up. since that day, i use the "Grave Of The Fireflies Test" in every serious relationship: if you don't tear! then u're a feelingless person! :D
man, that's awful. i really liked the movie and it really struck a chord with me. I didn't cry but I can say that emotionally it really moved me. Does that make me a feelingless person? I still think it's a masterpiece of a movie, even more so given the fact that it is inspired by a book written by the real Seita, a book written as an appology to his sister who died of starvation.
Let me tell you something. Many girls are delicate and crying when they only cry for themselves. Guys are different. For me, I never cried for myself since I was 12 and now I'm almost 30. However, things that relate to wars and others make me cry. I just never cry for myself even if I try. The sad reality is this movie is an autobiography of the brother and he died around a year ago.
I used to watch this movie in my grandpa house with my sister. We were young when you watched it, around 9 years old. We cried a lot all along. This movie may have shocked us, but I'm grateful it did. This movie and princess mononoke have taugh us humility and to be grateful for everything we have. Now you're gone grandpa. I hope that paradise exists so you can rest in peace with no suffering.
I use to have a Dog Dalmatian , she was deaf and a smaller for be a Dalmatian, anyway because she was deaf she really have the nesesity of touch every at any time, she may was a Dog but I Always see her more like a cat, a fat cat with a Big Smile of being alive Anywhere, she is hyperactive and I think she really need the Feel of having someone next to her but Now I Live in USA cause the Venezuela Crisis We leave her ( she was The Dog of my Grandparents) a Year Happen and she die , but The same Day that she Pass away ( I didn't Know) suddenly in a fragment I saw her in a Black background she was very serious and very Pretty ...that was a total animal to human connection... so yeah my friend The Heaven Exist.

The voice actor of Setsuko did her/ his job really well... The sister’s voice obsessed me. It’s months since I last watched this movie for the first time and Setsuko’s voice is still burning in my head
I think it is a reference to how tragic it was for people to die before the end of the wartime. The ending alludes to this as Seita is sitting on a park bench looking at modern Japan. He survived the war, but missed the peacetime. Note how the fireflies shone brightest at night, but they died when dawn broke. Parallel to how the two main characters had the strength to try and thrive whilst the war was happening, but ironically one of them died after it. Probably also emphasises how the sister was just an innocent little girl.
I hope anyone who considers starting another war watches this movie, I will strap them down to a seat and make them watch it if they haven't. So many people hear the word 'War' and think "soldiers, guns, tanks, death, BANG BANG!" When there is so much more to it, this movie shows the truth of it and I hope any war starter dies if they go through with it. Anyone who doesn't even feel the slightest pang of misery isn't human. i related so much to this movie being an older sister the same age as Seita and my younger brother is about the same age as Setsuko so I was crying from start to finish. Consider watching this movie, please.
***** lol? That's some very egocentric thinking right there. Prejudice would become a huge issue just like the days when the British Empire ruled 1/4 of the world. It's not the type of racism you see in the USA, but a lot harsher. Then there's also the fact that conflict would still exist to a large extent over such a huge piece of territory. As long as resources is an issue, war would always exist.
Every time I hear the music that starts at 1:46, it makes me weep heavily and I know why. It's not just because of the part when Seita had to cremate Setsuko's dead body. It's truly all about feeling a great sadness, loss, and failure.
I started cying after his mom died and he tried to cheer his sister up and take his mind off it by doing those barflips thats the seen that always chokes me up
@@quoriwhitley I cried when setsuko died because she was so cute and I loved her voice but when I saw her dead I was upset and the music made it more sadder
Seriously, stop with the "manliness" business. If you don't cry to this movie, you're no man, barely even human. 3/24/20 - I normally dislike editing my own comments, but I made this comment over 6 years ago when I had just seen the movie for the first time. It left a major impression me. I don't mean to declare you inhumane for not crying, but I what I meant was that in the context of its incredibly humane message, it never talked about who was at fault, "us" vs "them" between countries, just invited viewers to see and understand what it was like for fellow human beings to go through such harsh circumstances. My grandmother's village was bombed during this time, and she also had to take care of all of her younger siblings at a young age after losing her mother years prior. I was born in the U.S., but I personally hate the boasting some people in my country have made about dropping the atom bombs. I understand that some had fought and died to enemy troops, saying they deserved it for attacking us first, etc. This movie invited us to remember that these many people were human beings who had nothing to do with the actions of their government. I eventually married my wonderful wife who is also from Japan, which since this time has helped me grow in more understanding of how little our differences in ethnicity really matter. I felt this film was about humanity, the common struggles we go through, and how petty our differences really are in the end. It focused on the part of war that most films never touch on, the common people. That's why I feel it does surprise me if you are not in the least moved by it, but in the end, it might not be a movie for everyone.
I don't think not crying means "being a man". A man accepts his weaknesses, he accepts his own feeling. Holding your tears, refusing your sadness, faking yourself and being proud of it, in the end it's just childish. However, a true man does not show his tears to anyone. If he shows it to you, then you know he really trusts you. That's what I believe.
When I was watching the end, I felt really, really sad. I felt like crying. However, no matter how hard I tried to cry, as it I felt it was worthy a tribute for this movie, no tears came to my eye, but it was painfully sad to watch it :/ Idk, I've cried before to anime, but not this one.
instant I hear the first note, I start tearing up. Living in Japan, nobody wanted to talk about the war. But they didn't need to, for this movie was enough to tell anyone war is bad.
I think sometime in a child's high school life should they watch this during their lesson on World War II because we portray them to be totally evil in our schools. This war taught Japan that fighting is not the answer and that is why they will never raise arms in hate ever again.
This is a movie that teacher should show to is student, and I mean EVERY teacher in this world,And maybe fot the futures generations, we shall have a better world. Im dead serious here, Obama have to watch this movie. This can be a "weapon" of peace in the world.
I watched it as a child, and this movie changed me so much that I would certainly be somebody else if I didn't experience it. I believe, decades later; that I would like that other me even less than I like who I am today. I believe it is a good thing to show it to children. Peace.
I lost my baby brother. He wasn't a baby when he died. He had just turned 18. But he was never not my baby brother - I was 29 at the time. But I held him as an infant. And he took his own life on my watch. Some wounds never heal and perhaps are never meant to. It gives me solace, that there are others, who have translated that profound pain into something that is beautiful in its sorrow. I pretend in front of people, act like I'm ok, and I'm terribly convincing. But the truth is, I'm a ghost. I've already died as well, because how can I ever allow something good in my life, when he hasn't gotten a chance to experience any of it.
this movie opened my eyes to how I see the world properly and always be thankful and grateful for what I have grave of the fireflies isn’t just a movie it’s a piece of reality.
I was about 5-6 years old, when my parents got me the collection of anime on one DVD. I watched it constantly, basically every day. And when I watched Grave of the fireflies, I didn't understand the thing. Sure, I realized that it was sad, and what the thing was about. But I just didn't understand why my parents cried so much. I continued watching it over and over, but when I started school, I just forgot about it for a while. Then, when I was a bit more mature (about 12) and remembered about DVD's existence, I watched it again. I realized what it was all about, and why it was so sad. I felt sad and broken, but still didn't cry. I was always sensitive when someone talked about war, especially WWII, since I am Russian and had relatives who fought for my country back then. As I grew up, I became more and more sensitive about it. Now I'm 14, and I bet that I would cry my soul out if I watched it again, since only listening to this, made me cry really hard. The same thing, in fact, happened to Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku Hen and Harry Potter and the deathly hallows: part two (the scene where Snape's past is shown... god). When the violin part had begun, I thought about learning it on my violin and playing it for money in my town's main street. A few seconds later, I realized that I couldn't do that, as I would start crying.
I watched this film like 3 times and just thinking about it makes me cry. This is the most emotional film I've ever watched and there won't be any film which has touched me like this
OMG that is exactly what happens to me. I just think about it or hear the music. BOOM tears fall... :P It really is an emotional movie. I cry everytime. Never gonna be able to watch it again. WAY to sad for me :(
I feel the whole "sad" thing is detracting from how impressive this film actually is. Yes it's sad, but there are so many reasons this film is fantastic and deserves to be watched by everyone.
Now this part really messed me up....at least Seita and Setsuko found each other again as spirits....may they fly on with the fireflies. Oh god, now I'm crying..... I hate to see Seita take little Setsuko and hold her there like that on that stormy night....and then the next day.....the next day I can't even bear to put this in words its so sad. Poor Setsuko...when she offers the rocks and dirt, thinking she made rice balls.... :"(
last time I watched this movie was like 3 years ago. Decided to come back and just listen to the THEME song. That was enough to make me cry and feel depressed all over again... What a powerful movie!
This is one of those movies that i need to re watch once a year at least. So good yet so sad. This movie is based on a book with the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka and it's even more ruthless than the movie.
It's an anime movie from Studio Ghibli (year 1989). I watched it with tears all over my face! T_T This movie is very haunting and obsessing, if you're not ready you can't even watch till the end. The most touching and meaningful anime movie I've ever seen. T_T
In the beginning of the film, after the bombing, when Setsuko said: "The black rain after bombs." I assumed they were going to die due to radiation, but thats was not the case. The fact that they died due to malnutrition made it even more sad. seeing these two kids slowly die of starvation, while being treated like filth by everyone around them was heart wrenching.
I agree with you that this song sounds sooo beautiful! It reminds me so much of a certain musician I know. I can literally hear his musical voice in this song.... almost as if the creator of this song and my musician friend were doing a duet across time. Very beautiful indeed!
The more you rewatch it, the more beautiful it gets...that's how good movies always are. Too bad too many people are like "It's too sad, I can't rewatch it...". Make me think you just barely scratched the surface of it and immediately jumped to comment.
I never cried so much watching a movie in my life......This movie touched my heart to the very core..... It shows how innocent children becomes the victim of war..... This movie made me realize how lucky I am to have a family, food and shelter....I pray for all the innocent souls who suffered and died because of war...
After I watched it the first time, I told myself that I will never watch it again. But some time after it, I showed I to my sister, my friends, and I rewatched it, so I ended up watching it 7 times. There are still people who should watch it, especially politicians.
Hearing Setsuko's voice is so heart wrentching! still after all these years. RIP to the millions upon millions of little ones who have passed on having their life cut short for whatever reason. God is holding them in Heaven!
Recently watched this movie. Im 16 and man it's been a while since I've cried pretty hard. I didn't believe my sister when she said that this movie would make me cry. A movie hasn't had me at the edge of my seat in a while but this movie had my complete attention. I felt torn and I think of things far differently. I feel as if recently the world lacks movies like this or really anything similar to any of the movies from this studio. Ive started to watch many others and I'm hooked. The youth of today need movies like these that really build character. Hope all is well.
I don't know why but I think showing this anime movie to the countries who are going forward for war will stop the war and their people will not have to suffer🙂 I feel sad for Ukraine people,I don't want to see another hiroshima nagasaki kind of destruction.War does no good to the common people,I can't imagine the anime movie situation is going to happen again.I don't want many real setszuko to die because of the war.How can a child see so much hatred,violence he will spend his life in trauma.After watching the movie I took an oath to not waste a single bite of food.I pray to god that no wars happen in the world again.Rest in peace all the people who died in war.I'm literally crying while typing all this+the bgm and dialogues are making me shed more tears.....
The Grave of the fireflies was absolutely moving and gut wrenching, I remember seeing it for the very first time and I thought to myself this animation is one the very best I have ever seen, the animation is SO beautifully done and the music fits the animation perfectly, I am normally a very strong person but the Grave of the Fire flies had me in complete tears right to the end, the combination of the animation, the music and the voice overs was absolutely extraordinary, it is amazing how an animation and music can move a person so much, bravo to all the cast and animators of this OUTSTANDING masterpiece, I have this movie on dvd and it moves me every time and I am sure at the premiere at this beautiful master piece there would not have been a dry eye in the audience, this will break even the strongest of hearts, OUTSTANDING work Ghibli Studios
Idk I actually did not cry the first time I watched. But just today, my sister asked me to watch this movie. So finally years after, I finally rewatched the movie and boi, I did not cry the first time right, but in just 5 mins of the movie, I was bawling in tears. I did not expect it. Especially when this ost was played the first time. I say that this movie gets sadder and sadder everytime u watch it. If you ddnt feel much at first watch like me, u shoudl rewatch it and ull get hit by the reality of how tragic this is.
I just watched the movie. Everybody knows Schindler’s List or Saving Private Ryan as examples of sad and powerful war movies but this one, in my opinion, surpassed them.
Many people are saying that they cried but I can bet you all that I cried the most,like 6 times for 4 minutes or more. It just touched me right in the feelings and I thought that my heart is going to pop...
The movie is something special to me. But everyone I play it, I cry uncontrollably. The tears flow very fast. Studio Ghibli at its very best. As an English fan of their work, I define anyone to watch the film, whether it is with English subtitles or the English Dub version, to not cry. I bet none of you can. This film is just Brilliant!!
This movie cut me soooo deep, especially the theme songs. After watching this movie, I realized that sometimes I keep complaining in life. Always saying it's so hard and world is so unfair. While typing my tears keep dropping from ym eyes. I am so thankful and I appreciate more my life.... Thank you who ever made this animation. Life is so colorful and. Mysterious
I don't know what just happened. A week ago I bought a tin of candies and I still have a few of them here. Right now I randomly remembered this film so I was checking the soundtrack again after a year or so after having seen the movie and at 0:34 I realized that the sound that makes the tin of candies in the movie is the same sound that mine makes. So I searched the candies on google and they are the same (but with another tin)!! I can't believe this is a coincidence.
That was just so touching for me, i seriously didn't believe it could end like the way it ended (i wont spoil anything..), so i watched it again.. i was like "oh damn, why it has to end like this :'( i can't believe it.." I suggest it to adults mostly.
Whoever compose the intro music of grave of the fireflies was a genius, the music alone will turn your emotions high.. I love this movie but i don't think i wanna watch it again..
I watched this movie once and I don't think I can ever watch it again. This soundtrack itself already made my heart hurt so much. I was trying to contain myself but Setsuko's voice simply broke me... ;_;
So far I have watched only 4 studio ghibli movies; grave of the fireflies, spirited away, howl's moving castle and princess mononoke. Strangely, it has a bittersweet feeling watching those, I have never ever felt those emotions watching Disney. Studio Ghibli is like as a whole a genre that never makes me depressed but never makes me happy too. I just always end up crying and everything else around me just seems a studio ghibli setting.
yesterday I just discovered this movie from the Studio Ghibli wikipedia I thought it would be looked like My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away ...but man...I'm wrong TUT
You poor thing. Went in that film without any preparation ^^ I guess if I would have seen the movie without getting prepared, I would've died of sadness :/
Marana ranaaa That definitely the reason why I love studio Ghibli, the studio just creates astounding pieces of work that are just awesome imo because they don't have to have fantastic effects or super great action and they're so unique. I can never help but laugh at all the funny movies it has like my neighbor totoro and ponyo, enticing & funny movies to give you a good laugh and then we've got the grave of the fireflies which was just heartbreaking for me and yet it was so good and it so moving that I didn't even know they were capable of but once again studio ghibli has impressed my expectations
Life is a gift. Our emotions are being stirred. If we can feel these emotions then it means your heart and feelings inside are grand and special.many people take life for granted and don't care about themselves when we are standing strong and filled with that intense fun spirit we have forgotten about what has happened to the people that are victims dying with no food or parents or anything we are cheap and childish when I and many many others see and expirience that feeling we know inside that life is even harder and more depressing for those victims.
The world evolves into a fairyland and paints itself from the ruins of so many Seitas and Setsukos who were seemingly a bother. Who were tossed into cruel currents of fate without even taking a glimpse at their age and innocence. How can two fireflies be too much to care for; why would anyone call them pests. Remember the scene where the box in which are ashes of their mother glows to red and then comes two fluttering fireflies flying almost carelessly. Fireflies are shortlived. How much longer would it take for me to accept this fact. :(
I heard about this movie for a while. I first found out about it from Roger Ebert and he absolutely praised this movie. He died last week and I went and saw his review again and gave it a try. As I watched it I promised myself I wouldn't cry, I gave in the last 10 minutes. One of the most powerful, emotional and impactful films I've ever watched. Bar none the saddest film too. This movie will never leave me, I'll suggest it to others to spread its greatness. Thanks for the music man.
I started the movie with try not to cry challenge, and I don't melt easily. But when Seita gave funeral to Setsuko, and when she called "Nii-Chan!". I literally burst into tears. "Two people" end title theme is most heart touching to me, whenever I hear it, tears itself come
People seem to think that the ending is the sad part of the movie but the entire movie is a tragedy because we already know that seita dies in the beginning and seeing as he's alone, we can predict that setsuko died before him. That's why the saddest moments are when you see the 2 innocent children playing and having a short but beautiful childhood because it's all going to end. Everytime you saw them happy, your heart broke because you wished that their happiness could last forever, but unfortunately it was short-lived. This movie is probably the most important movie ever made. It is an encyclopedia that teaches us that innocence and playfulness can still exist but wars and conflicts kill all hope and beauty.
yeah, i literally cried through the whole movie. It really is a tragedy.
all true and touching and insightful until your last line... that was just silly and immature
I FELT THE SAME WAY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE. Even when they are leaving their house in the first air raid I’m like wait he’s gonna die soon😔
thé sad part is the movie
Actually the brother in this movie have made this movie & film he thought he will die after that but fortunately he survived & present us such a beautiful story he died in 2015 he lived for 85 years but the best part because of this story he is known well
The best movie I never want to watch again

its best to always be grateful to what you have. there are people in places like africa, india living in poverty for many years. cant afford food or basic health facilities.
just try to imagine what they must go through every day just in order to survive.

miguel mur if only his partner Hayao Miyazaki told him to stop smoking sooner
also Akiyuki Nosaka, the novelist of this story... both are really great artists,
you know what's more sad than the movie itself ? thousands of kids are having the same situation around the world .
I swear when i have enough money I'll pay so much of it to charity to help war children
we all wish so,hope no one suffers due lack of basic amenities
I just wanna don't want any kid suffer, not to mention without their parents bcs they too busy fighting their own war.
THANK YOU for this day and comment. I used to think the same, but now that I started earning, I totally forgot about chairty. My own expenses overpowered my altruism. Thank you for reminding the bigger purpose. May god bless you.

But he actually in real life didn't die this movie story was the autobiography of the brother present in this movie he lived for 85 years and he died in 2015 he was the one who presented us such a beautiful story & he was known for this movie Akiyuki Nosaka was his name
thats our martial law day starts like around 1972 so sad
Anyone who thinks that anime is childish and stupid needs to watch this piece of art!
no
It broke me. Such a beautiful film.
How is it childish? It shows how devastating war can be and how bonds and the will to protect can overcome it.
VUN Un Thats my point... Whoever thinks it IS childish, should watch it and realise it is NOT
***** no one has ever thought it is childish
The first time I watched this, I felt extremely depressed and hopeless. I didn't know how to deal with the absolute lack of any kind of happy ending. It basically left me in an avoidant, slightly confused mood, whilst at the same time, somewhat sad.
This was at age 16, a young teenager full of insecurity and with much bigger concerns than really thinking about why a film was made, or what it meant.
Fast forward to last night. I am age 23, and live at home with my mother and father who are foster carers; they are looking after a 4 year old girl. I was browsing through the DVD rack, and stumbled upon "Grave of the Fireflies". After reading over the back again, I decided that it was worth a re-watch, as my memory was somewhat hazy, and the blurb and reviews intrigued me.
This time, the movie completely emotionally destroyed me. I cried throughout, and had a constant feeling of utter sadness. Over the past month, I have really bonded with the young girl that my parents are fostering, so much so that she almost feels like a little sister of mine. It's funny how, as an adult, truly devoting your time to the care of a young child can build up the knowledge within yourself of just how pure and important a child is.
They are non-judgmental, happy, creative and unbelievably strong and positive in some of the post painful human conditions. She has gone through so much in her short life, and yet she can wake up every morning and smile. She has lost her biological parents, and yet she is so much stronger than so many adults.
I realised that this film really hits that message home; children are the reason we should strive to make this world better. We must fight every day to make this world, with all of its hardship and all of its grief, a safer, happier place for the children of the world.
That is why, the death of the little girl in this film, is the greatest of criminal acts committed by us adults. Whether we are the instigators of war, or the people who show reluctance and selfishness when it comes to shouldering the responsibility to look after the most vulnerable children, we are committing an enourmous crime.
We can not let the children down.
Alice Lost I understand exactly how you feel ,it’s all about the children. No matter what .we need to take care of them with positive guidance for eternity
Wow. Great words.
Man you spoke it all out beautifully
Life doesn’t have happy endings, It’s the sad true, because even when it ends, you know, that many people among you will be sad and depressed.
in contrary I felt that me being depressed was unreasonable. I dont think ill ever be after watching this movie lol. Im lucky as hell
Older brothers will have the most critical damage from this movie.
when I watched this movie for the first time I cried uncontrollably like a baby and when I was finally able to stop crying I had to call my step-mom and tell her to tell my sisters for me that I love them, then I hung up the phone and broke down into tears again :'( I'm 27 and I'm a pretty tough guy so it takes A LOT to make me cry, for a film to be able to absolutely destroy my heart and soul like G.O.T.F. it has to be EXTREMELY POWERFUL, I cried off and on for 3 days :'(
Dude for real, I thought about my little sister through the whole thing.
it's weird...but I didn't really think about my little sister. yes, I cried a lot but I had no nightmares.
so true
YES!! :(
I've only watched this film once and once was enough. I felt numb after. I wont be able to watch this film again, it was too sad. Knowing its based on real life events and that this is the reality of children of war, it makes you cry :'(
+Sam Y I've watched it 5 times or so, it's a movie I like to watch once per year, like The Godfather. Every time I see it, I'm unable to hold back myself. I've read the book too and it's even worse than the movie, I cried reading that too. Along with the godfather it's my favourite movie.
Gustavo Sandoval The Godfather is an amazing film! Knowing how much I cried watching the film, I probably be unable to read the book. But its a touching nonetheless
Book is much much better give it a shot.
Have to thank the japanese to show that animation can be more than kids entertainement. Something the westerners have lost
I agree. A new regime on how Animation should be treated in the western world should be made with the consent of congress.
Shashank Susngi lmao what
@@ShashankSusngi but it is anime, anime refers to any type of japanese animation, thats the definition anyway.
it is not about having emotions, what do you feel? if you feel nothing at all you are a piece of meat...
kamakzite? in that case you shouldnt have been born at all.. i am not justicifing the idiots that was thrown against someone else? nah mate, stand up, please....
3:50 "Nii-chan" Oh god... Setsuko, you're gonna make me cry again.
i never to see this movid again
The sound cry me more then more
@@zahidshameed 你好兄弟，你好善良。
I'm 13. I want to watch this movie since I'm 10. I'm scared but I will do it 😭😭😭
@@lanadelreyismom 这是好电影
What`s this emptiness I feel inside after watching this movie? Poor little kid, I really wanna hug her real tight.
i once tried to share this masterpiece with an ex-girlfriend, so i adviced her to give it a try, she did but she surprised me with her total indifference after watching it, she said it was boring and that she felt nothing special. i was shocked cause i always thought she was a delicate and emotional girl... no she wasn't , so i started to think there's something wrong with her but forgot about it easily... few days after i discovered bad things about her, she was definitely not a person i can trust or rely on and we brooke up. since that day, i use the "Grave Of The Fireflies Test" in every serious relationship: if you don't tear! then u're a feelingless person! :D
man, that's awful. i really liked the movie and it really struck a chord with me. I didn't cry but I can say that emotionally it really moved me. Does that make me a feelingless person? I still think it's a masterpiece of a movie, even more so given the fact that it is inspired by a book written by the real Seita, a book written as an appology to his sister who died of starvation.
Let me tell you something. Many girls are delicate and crying when they only cry for themselves. Guys are different. For me, I never cried for myself since I was 12 and now I'm almost 30. However, things that relate to wars and others make me cry. I just never cry for myself even if I try. The sad reality is this movie is an autobiography of the brother and he died around a year ago.
Nobilus Mikami oh my god how could you not cry??? I made my father cry with this movie and he's the strongest person I know!
Nobilus Mikami lol you makes me wanna break up with my gf
I think you just saved yourself a trip to the hospital.
She sounds like one of those... you know...
Dick choppin' type...
I used to watch this movie in my grandpa house with my sister. We were young when you watched it, around 9 years old. We cried a lot all along. This movie may have shocked us, but I'm grateful it did. This movie and princess mononoke have taugh us humility and to be grateful for everything we have. Now you're gone grandpa. I hope that paradise exists so you can rest in peace with no suffering.
Mordoc I listened to did sound track and read your comments, it made me feel sad :( and there is another emotion i cant explain
I use to have a Dog Dalmatian , she was deaf and a smaller for be a Dalmatian, anyway because she was deaf she really have the nesesity of touch every at any time, she may was a Dog but I Always see her more like a cat, a fat cat with a Big Smile of being alive Anywhere, she is hyperactive and I think she really need the Feel of having someone next to her but Now I Live in USA cause the Venezuela Crisis We leave her ( she was The Dog of my Grandparents) a Year Happen and she die , but The same Day that she Pass away ( I didn't Know) suddenly in a fragment I saw her in a Black background she was very serious and very Pretty ...that was a total animal to human connection... so yeah my friend The Heaven Exist.

Why must the fireflies die so young? WHY?!
This is probably a reference why little angels like setsuko die so young, when she's just an innocent child :/
A beautiful metaphor.
3:46 when the music is at its best with Setsuko happy in the background is by far the saddest part of this video
The voice actor of Setsuko did her/ his job really well... The sister’s voice obsessed me. It’s months since I last watched this movie for the first time and Setsuko’s voice is still burning in my head
I think it is a reference to how tragic it was for people to die before the end of the wartime. The ending alludes to this as Seita is sitting on a park bench looking at modern Japan. He survived the war, but missed the peacetime. Note how the fireflies shone brightest at night, but they died when dawn broke. Parallel to how the two main characters had the strength to try and thrive whilst the war was happening, but ironically one of them died after it. Probably also emphasises how the sister was just an innocent little girl.
Composed by Michio Mamiya! Talented man. He was my neighbor when I was very young.
+Kerlasia Wow, that must feel weird knowing...
+mustangNZ It does, but at the same time, I grew up in down town Tokyo where it wasn't uncommon to see celebrities.
wow~ that's so cool, this is my favourite soundtrack of all the ghibli movies. Its simple yet catches the mood just right
If that's true man.. You must be very proud.
His work deserves a proper release, not this SFX laden mess.
I hope anyone who considers starting another war watches this movie, I will strap them down to a seat and make them watch it if they haven't. So many people hear the word 'War' and think "soldiers, guns, tanks, death, BANG BANG!" When there is so much more to it, this movie shows the truth of it and I hope any war starter dies if they go through with it. Anyone who doesn't even feel the slightest pang of misery isn't human. i related so much to this movie being an older sister the same age as Seita and my younger brother is about the same age as Setsuko so I was crying from start to finish.
Consider watching this movie, please.
It wasn't even 10 mins into the film and I was crying
I killed myself before the end
emily shadick Well, the first minute showed the impending deaths of both characters right? lol.
R.I.P. Derek Delvo , who died shortly before the end of the movie "Grave of the Fireflies".
***** lol? That's some very egocentric thinking right there. Prejudice would become a huge issue just like the days when the British Empire ruled 1/4 of the world. It's not the type of racism you see in the USA, but a lot harsher.
Then there's also the fact that conflict would still exist to a large extent over such a huge piece of territory. As long as resources is an issue, war would always exist.
Every time I hear the music that starts at 1:46, it makes me weep heavily and I know why. It's not just because of the part when Seita had to cremate Setsuko's dead body. It's truly all about feeling a great sadness, loss, and failure.
I started cying after his mom died and he tried to cheer his sister up and take his mind off it by doing those barflips thats the seen that always chokes me up
@@quoriwhitley i cried to this scene yesterday too
At some point you can even hear the fire in this track :(
@@quoriwhitley I cried when setsuko died because she was so cute and I loved her voice but when I saw her dead I was upset and the music made it more sadder
@@quoriwhitley Seita did that to hide his own tears from his sister, that's just sad😭
I felt my heart break when I hear "Nii-chan!" ;_;
Blue Dango mine shatter into million pieces
Seriously, stop with the "manliness" business. If you don't cry to this movie, you're no man, barely even human.
3/24/20 - I normally dislike editing my own comments, but I made this comment over 6 years ago when I had just seen the movie for the first time. It left a major impression me. I don't mean to declare you inhumane for not crying, but I what I meant was that in the context of its incredibly humane message, it never talked about who was at fault, "us" vs "them" between countries, just invited viewers to see and understand what it was like for fellow human beings to go through such harsh circumstances. My grandmother's village was bombed during this time, and she also had to take care of all of her younger siblings at a young age after losing her mother years prior. I was born in the U.S., but I personally hate the boasting some people in my country have made about dropping the atom bombs. I understand that some had fought and died to enemy troops, saying they deserved it for attacking us first, etc. This movie invited us to remember that these many people were human beings who had nothing to do with the actions of their government. I eventually married my wonderful wife who is also from Japan, which since this time has helped me grow in more understanding of how little our differences in ethnicity really matter. I felt this film was about humanity, the common struggles we go through, and how petty our differences really are in the end. It focused on the part of war that most films never touch on, the common people. That's why I feel it does surprise me if you are not in the least moved by it, but in the end, it might not be a movie for everyone.
So true! Nobody should be called a wimp for crying over something so sad. It's not a matter of gender, in my opinion. It's a matter of being human. :)
I don't think not crying means "being a man". A man accepts his weaknesses, he accepts his own feeling. Holding your tears, refusing your sadness, faking yourself and being proud of it, in the end it's just childish. However, a true man does not show his tears to anyone. If he shows it to you, then you know he really trusts you. That's what I believe.
When I was watching the end, I felt really, really sad. I felt like crying. However, no matter how hard I tried to cry, as it I felt it was worthy a tribute for this movie, no tears came to my eye, but it was painfully sad to watch it :/ Idk, I've cried before to anime, but not this one.
I deal with sadness in a different way. The movie definitely gave me feels but Iam not prone to crying tears.
TayoEXE hey im not calling me a man because i didnt cry i almost did
"Nii-chan"
I'm done.
* dropkicks computer *
Peace! I'm out!
Fuck you man! Not cool! Fuck all of this I'm out!
fkin stop
You should play it over Big Hero 6.

My heart shatters into million pieces. I start to cry like a baby everytime i listen to that "ni chan"
instant I hear the first note, I start tearing up. Living in Japan, nobody wanted to talk about the war. But they didn't need to, for this movie was enough to tell anyone war is bad.
Yoshitatsu Furukawa peace be with you
One of the most pointless wars in Asia. So much suffering, and for what?
He was such a strong person and good brother. I feel very bad for him, he went through so much at such a young age. Its just sad. :,(
I think sometime in a child's high school life should they watch this during their lesson on World War II because we portray them to be totally evil in our schools. This war taught Japan that fighting is not the answer and that is why they will never raise arms in hate ever again.
I think it should be shown to show how war affects civilians of any country that is in war
that's what we did and it really helped me understand the collateral damage firebombing caused on Japan. it also made me cry.
This is a movie that teacher should show to is student, and I mean EVERY teacher in this world,And maybe fot the futures generations, we shall have a better world.
Im dead serious here, Obama have to watch this movie. This can be a "weapon" of peace in the world.
That's a pretty naive point of view imo xD
@Toshii 13 He never answered.He has no point leave this stupid man alone
Wow 7 years ago...... are u still alive? If so ,how are you?
Why am i doing my homework to this music i can't even concentrate without wanting to cry.
+Gabriel Seminario I'm reading something happy while listening to this. Such a bad combo. xD
currently me lol
I'm in the same situation right now omg
totally same right now
I was okay until I heard Setsuko's voice....
+Gigi Nguyen Ikr! Like nope. I quit. ; m ;
Gigi Nguyen Are you from Jappan?
she's from vietnam! her last name tells it all!
yes same u
😭
I watched this movie with my 9 year old sister and 4 year old brother. They really appreciated it despite how tragic and depressing it is
+breeeegs i think that's great
you watched this with children? how? this movie is too sad even for grown ups why would you traumatize your siblings like dis?
I watched it as a child, and this movie changed me so much that I would certainly be somebody else if I didn't experience it. I believe, decades later; that I would like that other me even less than I like who I am today. I believe it is a good thing to show it to children. Peace.
I lost my baby brother. He wasn't a baby when he died. He had just turned 18. But he was never not my baby brother - I was 29 at the time. But I held him as an infant. And he took his own life on my watch. Some wounds never heal and perhaps are never meant to. It gives me solace, that there are others, who have translated that profound pain into something that is beautiful in its sorrow. I pretend in front of people, act like I'm ok, and I'm terribly convincing. But the truth is, I'm a ghost. I've already died as well, because how can I ever allow something good in my life, when he hasn't gotten a chance to experience any of it.
this movie opened my eyes to how I see the world properly and always be thankful and grateful for what I have
grave of the fireflies isn’t just a movie it’s a piece of reality.
didn't cry watching the movie, but it made my heart feel so heavy..
Same here
yeah :/
Watch it again. Surely you're gonna cry.
I ain't gonna watch this film again for a veeery long time. My heart can't handle it.
ikr?
I was about 5-6 years old, when my parents got me the collection of anime on one DVD. I watched it constantly, basically every day. And when I watched Grave of the fireflies, I didn't understand the thing. Sure, I realized that it was sad, and what the thing was about. But I just didn't understand why my parents cried so much. I continued watching it over and over, but when I started school, I just forgot about it for a while. Then, when I was a bit more mature (about 12) and remembered about DVD's existence, I watched it again. I realized what it was all about, and why it was so sad. I felt sad and broken, but still didn't cry. I was always sensitive when someone talked about war, especially WWII, since I am Russian and had relatives who fought for my country back then. As I grew up, I became more and more sensitive about it. Now I'm 14, and I bet that I would cry my soul out if I watched it again, since only listening to this, made me cry really hard. The same thing, in fact, happened to Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku Hen and Harry Potter and the deathly hallows: part two (the scene where Snape's past is shown... god). When the violin part had begun, I thought about learning it on my violin and playing it for money in my town's main street. A few seconds later, I realized that I couldn't do that, as I would start crying.
yo how are you in life? you must be 20 by now
how are you doing man?
I watched this film like 3 times and just thinking about it makes me cry. This is the most emotional film I've ever watched and there won't be any film which has touched me like this
+ultradead Read the book by Akiyuki Nosaka, it's even worse.
OMG that is exactly what happens to me. I just think about it or hear the music. BOOM tears fall... :P It really is an emotional movie. I cry everytime. Never gonna be able to watch it again. WAY to sad for me :(
3:52 setsuko calling seita nii-chan in the afterlife just broke the remaining of my soul
I feel the whole "sad" thing is detracting from how impressive this film actually is. Yes it's sad, but there are so many reasons this film is fantastic and deserves to be watched by everyone.
Don't cry....Don't cry.......*starts crying out loud* Dammit.....
Now this part really messed me up....at least Seita and Setsuko found each other again as spirits....may they fly on with the fireflies. Oh god, now I'm crying..... I hate to see Seita take little Setsuko and hold her there like that on that stormy night....and then the next day.....the next day I can't even bear to put this in words its so sad. Poor Setsuko...when she offers the rocks and dirt, thinking she made rice balls.... :"(
last time I watched this movie was like 3 years ago. Decided to come back and just listen to the THEME song. That was enough to make me cry and feel depressed all over again... What a powerful movie!
This is one of those movies that i need to re watch once a year at least. So good yet so sad.
This movie is based on a book with the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka and it's even more ruthless than the movie.
And the book is based on a true story.
Noctis Lucis Caelum I know.
Gustavo Sandoval WHAT IS THE BOOKS NAME IM READING ASAP
tyus martin Grave of the fireflies by Akiyuki Nosaka.
Fyi, that book was based on real accounts of writes personal life
Her last words were, “thank you” 😭
It's an anime movie from Studio Ghibli (year 1989). I watched it with tears all over my face! T_T This movie is very haunting and obsessing, if you're not ready you can't even watch till the end. The most touching and meaningful anime movie I've ever seen. T_T
In the beginning of the film, after the bombing, when Setsuko said: "The black rain after bombs." I assumed they were going to die due to radiation, but thats was not the case. The fact that they died due to malnutrition made it even more sad. seeing these two kids slowly die of starvation, while being treated like filth by everyone around them was heart wrenching.
This movie totally broke my heart...:(
The song is a masterpiece...broke my heart again....
Csilla Urr Totally agree with ya’ I only watch once and once is enough for me...
It gets so real at 4:19 ! Then the flute just sealed it! This is so beautiful.......
That isn’t a flute
I agree with you that this song sounds sooo beautiful! It reminds me so much of a certain musician I know. I can literally hear his musical voice in this song.... almost as if the creator of this song and my musician friend were doing a duet across time. Very beautiful indeed!
The more you rewatch it, the more beautiful it gets...that's how good movies always are. Too bad too many people are like "It's too sad, I can't rewatch it...". Make me think you just barely scratched the surface of it and immediately jumped to comment.
The best of the Ghibli movies; and the one I never want to watch again …
I was so messed up after I watched this movie that I had to take off work the next day. I couldn't even deal dude.
I never cried so much watching a movie in my life......This movie touched my heart to the very core..... It shows how innocent children becomes the victim of war..... This movie made me realize how lucky I am to have a family, food and shelter....I pray for all the innocent souls who suffered and died because of war...
After I watched it the first time, I told myself that I will never watch it again. But some time after it, I showed I to my sister, my friends, and I rewatched it, so I ended up watching it 7 times. There are still people who should watch it, especially politicians.
Hearing Setsuko's voice is so heart wrentching! still after all these years. RIP to the millions upon millions of little ones who have passed on having their life cut short for whatever reason. God is holding them in Heaven!
This legendary film truly shows animation isnt just for kids, it's for anyone.
Just saying but it's rated 12+ and for a good reason...
Recently watched this movie. Im 16 and man it's been a while since I've cried pretty hard. I didn't believe my sister when she said that this movie would make me cry. A movie hasn't had me at the edge of my seat in a while but this movie had my complete attention. I felt torn and I think of things far differently. I feel as if recently the world lacks movies like this or really anything similar to any of the movies from this studio. Ive started to watch many others and I'm hooked. The youth of today need movies like these that really build character. Hope all is well.
I don't know why but I think showing this anime movie to the countries who are going forward for war will stop the war and their people will not have to suffer🙂
I feel sad for Ukraine people,I don't want to see another hiroshima nagasaki kind of destruction.War does no good to the common people,I can't imagine the anime movie situation is going to happen again.I don't want many real setszuko to die because of the war.How can a child see so much hatred,violence he will spend his life in trauma.After watching the movie I took an oath to not waste a single bite of food.I pray to god that no wars happen in the world again.Rest in peace all the people who died in war.I'm literally crying while typing all this+the bgm and dialogues are making me shed more tears.....
The Grave of the fireflies was absolutely moving and gut wrenching, I remember seeing it for the very first time and I thought to myself this animation is one the very best I have ever seen, the animation is SO beautifully done and the music fits the animation perfectly, I am normally a very strong person but the Grave of the Fire flies had me in complete tears right to the end, the combination of the animation, the music and the voice overs was absolutely extraordinary, it is amazing how an animation and music can move a person so much, bravo to all the cast and animators of this OUTSTANDING masterpiece, I have this movie on dvd and it moves me every time and I am sure at the premiere at this beautiful master piece there would not have been a dry eye in the audience, this will break even the strongest of hearts, OUTSTANDING work Ghibli Studios
Idk I actually did not cry the first time I watched. But just today, my sister asked me to watch this movie. So finally years after, I finally rewatched the movie and boi, I did not cry the first time right, but in just 5 mins of the movie, I was bawling in tears. I did not expect it. Especially when this ost was played the first time. I say that this movie gets sadder and sadder everytime u watch it. If you ddnt feel much at first watch like me, u shoudl rewatch it and ull get hit by the reality of how tragic this is.
Same for me.
3:52 Setsuko's "nii-chan" just broke my heart
Still emotionally unstable after watching this movie. It was 3 years ago.
This the saddest movie ever I have ever seen 😭😭
I just watched the movie. Everybody knows Schindler’s List or Saving Private Ryan as examples of sad and powerful war movies but this one, in my opinion, surpassed them.
Emotionally Charged and true. I wonder how many men kept their composure and did not cry! Just brilliant! Thanks Stuart!
i watched this when i was a CHILD. i cried like a baby. i cant believe my dad let me watch it
Michio Mamiya, who composed the music for this masterpiece, has died at 95.
RIP Mamiya-san (29 June 1929 - 11 December 2024)
Many people are saying that they cried but I can bet you all that I cried the most,like 6 times for 4 minutes or more. It just touched me right in the feelings and I thought that my heart is going to pop...
Thanks for making me depressed again !!
The movie is something special to me. But everyone I play it, I cry uncontrollably. The tears flow very fast. Studio Ghibli at its very best. As an English fan of their work, I define anyone to watch the film, whether it is with English subtitles or the English Dub version, to not cry. I bet none of you can. This film is just Brilliant!!
This movie cut me soooo deep, especially the theme songs.
After watching this movie, I realized that sometimes I keep complaining in life. Always saying it's so hard and world is so unfair.
While typing my tears keep dropping from ym eyes. I am so thankful and I appreciate more my life.... Thank you who ever made this animation. Life is so colorful and. Mysterious
“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”― Leonardo da Vinci.
This movie hit different because its so real, this worldly life does not always have a happy ending
This movie is so underrared. Should be watched by all young generation....
私もそう思います。Now is the time to want people all over the world to see it…🕊
Everytime I see a reference of this movie, the pain in my heart quickly crawls back..
I don't know what just happened. A week ago I bought a tin of candies and I still have a few of them here. Right now I randomly remembered this film so I was checking the soundtrack again after a year or so after having seen the movie and at 0:34 I realized that the sound that makes the tin of candies in the movie is the same sound that mine makes. So I searched the candies on google and they are the same (but with another tin)!! I can't believe this is a coincidence.
God this movie broke me into million pieces💔😓😞
Only two movies have ever made me cry. One was Schindler's List, the other was this movie.
Cried just by listening this soundtrack, haven't watched the movie and affraid for crying a lot if I watch it
Watch it if u have strong soul but even if u have strong soul your soul will get weaker after watching this 🥺😭💔
Rest in peace, Isao Takahata.
“Why do fireflies have to die soon.”
Might be my favorite line out of any movie I’ve ever watched.
This movie was so sad..i don't think i can watch it twice...
That was just so touching for me, i seriously didn't believe it could end like the way it ended (i wont spoil anything..), so i watched it again.. i was like "oh damn, why it has to end like this :'( i can't believe it.."
I suggest it to adults mostly.
First watched it when I was 7 . loved it then . love it now
Oddly, I only cried once, and almost instantaneously after "Why must the fireflies die so young?". I only teared up during the other sad scenes.
Whoever compose the intro music of grave of the fireflies was a genius, the music alone will turn your emotions high.. I love this movie but i don't think i wanna watch it again..
I watched this movie once and I don't think I can ever watch it again. This soundtrack itself already made my heart hurt so much. I was trying to contain myself but Setsuko's voice simply broke me... ;_;
So far I have watched only 4 studio ghibli movies; grave of the fireflies, spirited away, howl's moving castle and princess mononoke. Strangely, it has a bittersweet feeling watching those, I have never ever felt those emotions watching Disney. Studio Ghibli is like as a whole a genre that never makes me depressed but never makes me happy too. I just always end up crying and everything else around me just seems a studio ghibli setting.
Ghibli is made for adults but it has childlike fantasy too
yesterday I just discovered this movie from the Studio Ghibli wikipedia
I thought it would be looked like My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away
...but man...I'm wrong TUT
You poor thing. Went in that film without any preparation ^^
I guess if I would have seen the movie without getting prepared, I would've died of sadness :/
Marana ranaaa That definitely the reason why I love studio Ghibli, the studio just creates astounding pieces of work that are just awesome imo because they don't have to have fantastic effects or super great action and they're so unique. I can never help but laugh at all the funny movies it has like my neighbor totoro and ponyo, enticing & funny movies to give you a good laugh and then we've got the grave of the fireflies which was just heartbreaking for me and yet it was so good and it so moving that I didn't even know they were capable of but once again studio ghibli has impressed my expectations
Same here
same thing happens to me last night, I was finished my dinner and then watch this movie, now I feel very sorrow. :''(
Life is a gift. Our emotions are being stirred. If we can feel these emotions then it means your heart and feelings inside are grand and special.many people take life for granted and don't care about themselves when we are standing strong and filled with that intense fun spirit we have forgotten about what has happened to the people that are victims dying with no food or parents or anything we are cheap and childish when I and many many others see and expirience that feeling we know inside that life is even harder and more depressing for those victims.
The world evolves into a fairyland and paints itself from the ruins of so many Seitas and Setsukos who were seemingly a bother. Who were tossed into cruel currents of fate without even taking a glimpse at their age and innocence. How can two fireflies be too much to care for; why would anyone call them pests. Remember the scene where the box in which are ashes of their mother glows to red and then comes two fluttering fireflies flying almost carelessly. Fireflies are shortlived. How much longer would it take for me to accept this fact. :(
This needs to be put on every National Curriculum in the world . Maybe , just maybe , it will make a difference .
we watched this movie with my students..and when it ends, they broke into tears.. a two thumbs up on this movie..
@@jappethbalderas4293Much respect to you
Even if i hear this song i still cry and when setsuko said nii Chan broke my heart💔🥺
The film was awesome, the soundtrack, just heartbreaking. I cried buckets. so touchingly beautiful. Studio Ghibli are just fantastic!
The most beautiful movie ever made.
I heard about this movie for a while. I first found out about it from Roger Ebert and he absolutely praised this movie. He died last week and I went and saw his review again and gave it a try. As I watched it I promised myself I wouldn't cry, I gave in the last 10 minutes. One of the most powerful, emotional and impactful films I've ever watched. Bar none the saddest film too. This movie will never leave me, I'll suggest it to others to spread its greatness. Thanks for the music man.
I started the movie with try not to cry challenge, and I don't melt easily. But when Seita gave funeral to Setsuko, and when she called "Nii-Chan!". I literally burst into tears. "Two people" end title theme is most heart touching to me, whenever I hear it, tears itself come
Fyi in asian culture we usually dont call elder siblings with first name. She actually says nii chan or elder brother if you listen carefully.
@@RahulSharma-o9j Oh I think you are right. Thanks for correction
I was so sad after watching this....Man did I cry.
nii-chan every time i heard that innocent voices make me cry alot.
