I think there's alot of beauty to take from this film. Life is fragile but beautiful, making it all the more precious. So what kind of person will you become at your most desperate? Seita and Setsuko chose to stay kind, loving, dignified, respectful, and still allowed themselves moments to be awe inspired and find joy. Life is beautiful, death is part of life so there is beauty to find in it as well. How well did you live even in your worst moments? If love conquers hate, and if love is life, life can conquer death no matter how devastating. As hated as the aunt is, i dont think she was evil or hateful per say. In tough times, as many others would, she was forced to think of herself and her own family's survival instead coming across as passive aggressive to try to deter them. Another interesting detail comes from the original author. He changed some details from his personal experience to address his survivor's guilt. He was not as kind to his own sister who died as he would eat food and not share as much as he should've. He was also saved from an orphanage where his friends would eventually succumb to starvation and disease. He wished he was as kind as Seita, he wished he would've died in those moments instead of live on with the guilt just as Seita did.
Yes. Humans aren’t perfect. Especially during difficult times like these. Rather than always doing what's right, we often just act within our capabilities.
I watched when i was in elementary school. It shattered me and obly recently i was able to watch it again with my mom and brother like 10 years later. During thise years i knew it could be nice to watch it again with a more mature mindset but i remembered how much it destroyed me as a child that i just couldnt. And now that i have watched it again, it just broke me.
i watched it once and my grandparents survived the fire bombings of Tokyo my grandfather was a doctor and my grandmother was a nurse. they made me watch this when i was 10 (2000) i cried watching his movie and can never watch it again.
This movie sounds extremely sad. You did such a good job explaining it. I haven't even watched it and you just explaining it and showing cuts from the movie made me tear up. Its also really sad because I'm already learning about war at school so I know the pain they go through are real life situations. :((
I remember this movie- I remember having to watch it in lower school for my Nihongo class and we had to write a paper on the movie- I vividly remember my paper and notes being soaked with tears and when they let us out of that class to go on to our next subject all of my classmates and I was literally bawling our eyes out that our next teacher had to like reschedule our quiz because of how much we were crying. 🥲
