ArthasTheCoward In 9th grade I had an important work to complete regarding history of art, and my history teacher recommended me this movie to work on. Forever grateful !
This was the most powerful scene in the entire movie. That stare Seita's ghost gives the audience with Setsuko sleeping on his lap... A silent warning for us not to make the same mistakes of the past, and to spare a thought for the countless innocent young lives lost due to war.
Everyone focuses on Setsuko suffering and wants to protect her, but let's not forget about Seita. He was just a child too, filled with fear. When he learned of his father's death, beyond the sadness of losing him, he also lost all hope of feeling protected. He had been waiting for his father's return to feel like a child again.
This film should also make you think of all the untold tragedies in history. Seita and his sister were by far not the only ones... This film is a window, to give us a glimpse, of what has happened... And now we sit in our future, unaware... The final scene, overlooking the modern day city is what did it for me; very powerful ideology!!!!!!
Twazonda it’s leaves you with a bittersweet feeling that somehow their spirits lived on. It makes me wonder what happens when we pass away. Will we be stuck in a cycle of memory of the gays culminating to your death? Will we become an entity; a memory wandering thru space?
my college teacher recommended me this one, no i hate him and i love him at the same time. everytime i hear this i cry, but i dont know how could i be alive before watching it...
True story: One day, my freind said to me "I never cry at films". Yeah. I showed her the movie when she slept at home. I said "You're gonna cry si badly" she said "not for a simple movie". I replied "It's not a simple movie". Then we watched it. At the end, we both cried. "Shit" she said "this movie breaks le down, but I love it". Good job Takahata ;-;
Neko Dolly just came across the same situation...i was talking with my friend about how grave of the fireflies is one of the most sincere to my heart movies and that it is a movie that i dont want to watch again and then a classmate of mine who claims to be the most dense guy said he'll watch it...i'm waiting for his reaction lol
Neko Dolly i gotta admit, i also dont cry at the movies. dont know if it cynicism, or simply i display my emotions differently, but this specific movie on the end i did shed a few
Esta película siempre me pone triste y siempre la recuerdo, la veia con mis hermanos, :( cuando era pequeño no la entendía pero ahora que pasan los años que dolor ha debido pasar, imaginate ver morir a tu hermana pequeña.... No poder hacer nada.
The different layers of remembrance and grief just seems to describe Seita and Setsuko's lives in a tapestry of pain. The little "Nichan!" was a merciless accent, and the single flute being extinguished at the end is very symbolic. If I ever had to bury a sibling I would forever carry a black hole in my chest. I'm a stoical English bloke but the fact that Seita's face during this sequence was completely impassive, unchanging and blank is one of the things that got to me the most. It's almost like he had no strength left other than to perform this final duty. It is the most heartrending animated sequence I have watched, but it is also a masterfully constructed sequence of sound and picture x
The original name of this track is "Haha". I did not know what it meant the first time I watched this movie and listened to the soundtrack. It's only a few years later, during a Japanese class, that I found out it meant "Mother". It hit me right in the feels.

After seeing this movie 6 times on DVD in the past, I saw it tonight for the first time projected on a big screen in Hollywood (The Egyptian Theater). Seeing it on a giant screen, with an audience, made it seem like it was the first time - because not only did it STILL reduce me to a blubbering mess, at least I had a lot of people to cry with - and a lot of them did. And the ones who did not cry were just absolutely quiet and couldn't talk. And here it is 3 hours after it ended and I'm still recovering from it. It's THAT more powerful on the big screen……….
Hello, dear people! Since the 20th May 11 days ago this video is already online for whole 10 years! So many comments have come in here and they just won't stop with the years passing. So many people have come to think about the subject "war and suffering" and have made their posts and points to this issue which will never be out of date. I want to thank every single one of you guys for making clear that there are still a lot of people who think about this grave subject. Even though the Fallout series is right with its quote "War never changes.", the world still has people like you guys. Let's keep up thinking about a better world and how to achieve it. Hopefully we won't just have to keep dreaming about it.
I've seen the movie like 4 times. I cry every time. This world is so unfair. How many have died like this? Miserable and forgotten, no one mourning their loss, it's like they never even existed. Like their pain wasn't even real.
I don’t know exactly why but the final shot of the two of them overlooking modern day Tokyo is just devastating. Now that I have children of my own, it hurts even more.
Je viens de le regarder, je me sens tellement vide c'est horrible... Ce film nous place comme un témoin des choses horribles qui arrivent encore aujourd'hui dans le monde....

As much as I think this is one of the best movies ever made, I don't know whether I can ever watch it again. Perhaps I'll show it to my father, who thinks anime is "dumb and for children". Let's see if he's even able to speak between the tears.
I just watched "Grave of the Fireflies" again the other day, joined by a few friends (two of them hadn't seen it). Even though I knew what was coming, the ending *still* broke me, and my friends weren't much better. Hell, I was still moved to tears just listening to this, even without the visuals; I was not expecting that. Whatever the intentions of the filmmakers, or the messages they were trying to convey, we can all probably agree that as an emotional experience, "Grave of the Fireflies" is uniquely overpowering and intense. On that merit alone, it's a special achievement.
Saber que esta fue la historia de cientos de niños en japon es lo mas triste y duro de toda esta pelicula 😔😢 Una cruda y preciosa pelicula que sin duda jamas deberia ser olvidada.
My mom was a survivor of the WWII air and naval bombardment of Hitachi-shi and maintained a lifelong fear of airplanes and helicopters until she passed . Needless to say, I am bummed by the possibly excessive use of UM drones and depleted uranium bombs in this seemingly endless WOT.
Je ne peux m'empercher de verser une larme quand j’écoute cette musique. Il y a des films qui tirent une flèche en plein cœur du spectateur, aucun être humain ne peut rester de marbre face à cette oeuvre.
the history is always repeating itself the devastation and inhumanity of war still continues today. but we never learn to live together , bare to each others differences.this movie left a deep scar in my heart , and made me cry like a child
I saddens me deeply to think that modern media such as realistic/violent video games and other types of entertainment tend to desensitize us over time to the worth of a human life. When all that is dished out on the Internet is satirical and sarcastic, do we even seem to look at anything through serious eyes? Do we even try to imagine the reality of other peoples' struggles when all we tend to do is laugh and mock? Just some things to think about. I just kind of hope this movie motivates us to try a little harder to relieve other people's burdens just a bit.
Fake violence does not desensitize to real violence. There has been 0 evidence to show this. Video game violence and movie violence are actually rather cartoonish, and you can see when the violence is real and when it's not.
I've heard the "zero evidence" argument way too many times. It tends to sound more like people are getting on the defensive side. I have found interesting findings about the long-term psychological effects of exposure to "fake violence" violence. It is difficult to prove with evidence, yet is very much evident in modern behavior. Take for example the Internet or a game such as Grand Theft Auto, where there is the perceived notion that you can do or say something without consequences that would normally occur in real life (such as arrest or rebuke). When people feel there is no consequence to their actions, it begins to change them gradually. Why do you think people are unable to have a mutually-respectful conversation or share their opinions on the Internet without spewing out insults and extremely vulgar language? Or again in GTA, where you are practically encouraged to choose to commit grievous crimes on the notion that it would be fun. I'm not saying that would cause people to commit the same crimes in real life, but now, if there were no laws to prevent such a thing in real life, I'm afraid of what our tendencies would cause us to do. Also, video game and movie violence are rather cartoonish? I hate to say it, but unfortunately, "mature" rated M games are becoming increasingly popular, and for some reason, parents are buying these kinds of games for even their young children. As adults tend to find the most interest in these kinds of games, I doubt that most of the graphics and effects can be considered "cartoonish," especially compared to games of lower ratings. In fact, with modern CGI and effect, violence is more realistic than ever before portrayed. Anyway, I got a little of track there. My point is that it is not necessarily the violence that is desensitizing people, it is the more realistic portrayal of deaths and sufferings that occur (and are caused by choices made players in a video game). In regards to this film especially, even though those characters and their sufferings are just animated, they are based on real events that happened, just as much as any portrayal of suffering reflects what goes on in real life. Sorry, I didn't mean to get heated or anything, but I just want to say that I have felt there is some effect caused by a lot of modern media and entertainment, and this film hit me hard, personally.
TayoEXE I didn't even pay attention to this thread in a while. Looks like it didn't post my 1000 line long essay here. But since I don't have the time to write it again, I'll just sum it up with this: The reason you've heard the argument so many times is because it's true. There is zero evidence for it.
Listening back make a real man cry(no joke)...until setsuko said niichan(brother),my heart breaks into pieces and it also happening at Gaza too...ahh damn,this is to much 😢😢
I’m genuinely confused. This movie devasted me so emotionally yet I feel it’s not talked about a lot. I watched it two days ago and went online to see what people thought about it. I went on RUclips and noticed barely any anime you tubers talking about this film. I also went on reddit as I usually do when I finish an anime or movie that affected me in some way. And yeah there were threads but not that many. I get that it’s an old movie but I’d expect such tragic story would stand the test of time like with Spirited Away or Akira seeing how those are frequently brought up even today bcuz of how great they were. I was aware that this movie existed but I didn’t think much of it. I really really wish I’d known about this movie sooner seeing how old it is. Have people watched the film and just decided not to talk about it? Do people want to forget their traumatic experience when they saw this film and bury deep within their hearts to never speak of it again? I will never forget this movie. I wish people spoke about it more and I’d wish I saw it sooner. I’ve been watching anime for a while now. I’m not new nor am I a veteran persay . So I guess what I’m saying is I wish this film was seen by more people and needs to be seen. I know this comment will probably never get read and I’m just babbling for the sake of getting it off my chest but if there is a person out there who has managed to read this comment on a video from 11 years ago then thank you. I went on this video in particular bcuz of the this heartbreaking soundtrack so in the hopes that someone does read this comment .You probably recently finished the movie yourself and were emotionally hurt as I was so you went to this video and scrolled down thru the hundreds of comments to see what people said. Well to that my friend I say that you and I are one and the same. I’ll probably check on this comment daily to see if I get any replies and if I don’t then I’ll wait some more. Again Thank You.
I've watched Gotf for the 1st time on Sept 23, still now, keeps hunting me, and never get rid out off my head. Goth will be forever etched in my heart and mind. I think and I feel depressed just occassionally imagine the voice and face of setsuko.. Maybe i need a therapist.. Every single day I keep searching any information about it. I even watched all Ghibli films recently just to cope what I missed during my childhood.. YOu are not alone.
@@jerrygonzalez8321 de hecho me siento igual que tú. ' La tumba de las Luciérnagas' es la película mas impactante que he visto en mi vida, siempre trato de no olvidarla, siempre trato de que todos mis conocidos vean esta obra maravillosa, y que impacte realmente en sus vidas, que se den cuenta de los estragos que la guerra causa en los niños y que sigue causando aun en estos días. Oremos para que la guerra acabe y que el sufrimiento de todos los niños se detenga.
This is a film that changed something inside everyone who watched it. Leaving a comment here, because you never know with life, but this one film certainly changed mine forever...
Definitely painful to watch, but by far one of the most impactful movies/experiences I’ve ever had in my life. A local theatre was doing a few showings of this movie and I went to see it with my girlfriend. Wonderful movie, wonderful message, and I hope later generations watch this and still feel something like I did. Thank you ghibli
After watching this film I realise how happy and peaceful my life is... and I can not stop the tears of regret... I know I need to live happily for sake of those who couldn't and died for this world to be better than theirs... but somehow I know that whatever I do, it'll never be good enough to repay them for their sacrifice. Dear God, let's embrace a depressed mood for this evening.
man this music is making me wanna cry literally just thinking about the people going through this shit. thinking about palestine, and other places around the world.
I was able to convince my sociologist teacher in high school, Mrs. McClain to show this to our class. This was in 2005, about a year and a half into the Iraq war when we started realizing this was a mistake. She explained to the class that there are children like these today in Iraq. The whole class was touched and I will forever cherish being able to share this.
The real sad story about this movie is that it doesnt end here. We dont have to wait for a world war 3, isnt it the truth that there is war every day? Not tomorrow not yesterday RIGHT NOW there are hundreds of stories like this going on in real life even today.
This movie change my life. When im tired , when im angry , when routine tiring i play this heart destroyer song from movie witch get you out of the system… and everything is ok❤️🔥
Never have I seen a movie that is so beautiful yet so emotionally draining. I cried and I cried some more. I had to process my thoughts and emotions so that I'd calm down because of how heavy the movie was. It wasn't just cartoon ------ it was a masterpiece!
I've watched this movie for the first time today, I don't know how I didn't cry, such a powerful movie with a powerful soundtrack. I'm sure I've listened to this song before, was quite glad to find where it comes from.
I watched this movie when I was about 15 with my Younger brother (who was about 9) and father (Just imagine and I guess some of you have Younger siblings, how teriffic it was, as an older sister, to see a Young kid (character's little sister) agonizing in pain and starvation, with my Younger brother, who was about the age of the little girl, right next to me, how close from the reality we felt). We realized about some time watching the movie that it was going to be horribly sad, but we still watched it till the end, as i f we were petrified by the horror of it, while everything was getting worse. The end broke my heart so much, we agreed to never watch it again, and It wasn't only pain and sadness, it was fear. I couldn't forget the images i've seen, the corpses bleeding, the little sister looking like a skeleton). And I Don't even need to watch it, because it's like the whole movie is printed forever in my mind. A beautiful masterpiece though, and a horrible trauma.
Tudo começou naquela tarde de domingo em 2020, eu tinha 11 anos e decidi ver esse filme sem ter visto nada, eu fiquei mal de verdade após assistir-lo, eu perdi o sono e fui procurar mais coisas sobre o filme e fiquei mais triste ao saber que era semi-autobiográfico, hoje em dia tendo 15 anos vejo esse filme não apenas como um filme triste, mas sim como uma obra prima do cinema em geral, tudo é tão real e comovente, esse filme pra mim é perfeito, não tem nada que eu considero ruim. 10/10
I never cried watching any movie but this made me cry like a baby..Still remember the funeral scene and those words “She never woke up”.. Sad to know that people actually faced this. That's why we say “whenever two elephants fight it's the grass that suffers the most”
The Firefly Tomb is a fascinating and amazing movie and this video is something in this picture I felt I was being sucked in and I felt like I belonged there
Even this melody brings tears in my eyes how Sad this tune is it really makes you cry like a baby i just yesterday watch this movie for the 1st time & after it ended my eyes were red and puffy it is that Sad why innocent people die who doesn't know anything stop killing innocent people life is short live happily & let other people live happily
Assistir esse filme foi a melhor coisa que fiz, encontrei no acaso e simplesmente passei uma noite inteira chorando, é de arrepiar, é reflexivo, lindo. Um clássico que vai Marcar gerações pois eu aos 20 vindo do Novo milênio tenho esse filme no recanto mais puro do Coração, que esse filme toque muito mais pessoas
I hate the people who just blame Japan for what happened in WWII. It is America's fault just as much, but the thing that really gets at me is the fact that some people are just so stuck up that they overlook people that died like this to stick with their own country. We are all just wrong.
This movie should be watched in history class for the next generations. This movie can became a weapon for peace and for a better society.

Seriously, I didn't expect this.
the history is always repeating itself the devastation and inhumanity of war still continues today. but we never learn to live together , bare to each others differences.this movie left a deep scar in my heart , and made me cry like a child
the word has been spoken
Can the wars on earth even end ? The only thing we can do is helping eachother to take our cross
You forget the aunt incapable to empathy with her own family...
I saddens me deeply to think that modern media such as realistic/violent video games and other types of entertainment tend to desensitize us over time to the worth of a human life. When all that is dished out on the Internet is satirical and sarcastic, do we even seem to look at anything through serious eyes? Do we even try to imagine the reality of other peoples' struggles when all we tend to do is laugh and mock? Just some things to think about. I just kind of hope this movie motivates us to try a little harder to relieve other people's burdens just a bit.
Fake violence does not desensitize to real violence. There has been 0 evidence to show this. Video game violence and movie violence are actually rather cartoonish, and you can see when the violence is real and when it's not.
I've heard the "zero evidence" argument way too many times. It tends to sound more like people are getting on the defensive side. I have found interesting findings about the long-term psychological effects of exposure to "fake violence" violence.
It is difficult to prove with evidence, yet is very much evident in modern behavior. Take for example the Internet or a game such as Grand Theft Auto, where there is the perceived notion that you can do or say something without consequences that would normally occur in real life (such as arrest or rebuke). When people feel there is no consequence to their actions, it begins to change them gradually. Why do you think people are unable to have a mutually-respectful conversation or share their opinions on the Internet without spewing out insults and extremely vulgar language? Or again in GTA, where you are practically encouraged to choose to commit grievous crimes on the notion that it would be fun. I'm not saying that would cause people to commit the same crimes in real life, but now, if there were no laws to prevent such a thing in real life, I'm afraid of what our tendencies would cause us to do.
Also, video game and movie violence are rather cartoonish? I hate to say it, but unfortunately, "mature" rated M games are becoming increasingly popular, and for some reason, parents are buying these kinds of games for even their young children. As adults tend to find the most interest in these kinds of games, I doubt that most of the graphics and effects can be considered "cartoonish," especially compared to games of lower ratings. In fact, with modern CGI and effect, violence is more realistic than ever before portrayed.
Anyway, I got a little of track there. My point is that it is not necessarily the violence that is desensitizing people, it is the more realistic portrayal of deaths and sufferings that occur (and are caused by choices made players in a video game). In regards to this film especially, even though those characters and their sufferings are just animated, they are based on real events that happened, just as much as any portrayal of suffering reflects what goes on in real life.
Sorry, I didn't mean to get heated or anything, but I just want to say that I have felt there is some effect caused by a lot of modern media and entertainment, and this film hit me hard, personally.
TayoEXE just enjoy the beautiful music....
TriFF51 right, no place discuss this... just listen to the music

I didn't even pay attention to this thread in a while. Looks like it didn't post my 1000 line long essay here. But since I don't have the time to write it again, I'll just sum it up with this:
The reason you've heard the argument so many times is because it's true. There is zero evidence for it.
I'm listening this at the subway and I can't help cry, everyone is looking me like.... Are you OK?
Listening back make a real man cry(no joke)...until setsuko said niichan(brother),my heart breaks into pieces and it also happening at Gaza too...ahh damn,this is to much 😢😢
I’m genuinely confused. This movie devasted me so emotionally yet I feel it’s not talked about a lot. I watched it two days ago and went online to see what people thought about it. I went on RUclips and noticed barely any anime you tubers talking about this film. I also went on reddit as I usually do when I finish an anime or movie that affected me in some way. And yeah there were threads but not that many. I get that it’s an old movie but I’d expect such tragic story would stand the test of time like with Spirited Away or Akira seeing how those are frequently brought up even today bcuz of how great they were. I was aware that this movie existed but I didn’t think much of it. I really really wish I’d known about this movie sooner seeing how old it is. Have people watched the film and just decided not to talk about it? Do people want to forget their traumatic experience when they saw this film and bury deep within their hearts to never speak of it again? I will never forget this movie. I wish people spoke about it more and I’d wish I saw it sooner. I’ve been watching anime for a while now. I’m not new nor am I a veteran persay . So I guess what I’m saying is I wish this film was seen by more people and needs to be seen. I know this comment will probably never get read and I’m just babbling for the sake of getting it off my chest but if there is a person out there who has managed to read this comment on a video from 11 years ago then thank you. I went on this video in particular bcuz of the this heartbreaking soundtrack so in the hopes that someone does read this comment .You probably recently finished the movie yourself and were emotionally hurt as I was so you went to this video and scrolled down thru the hundreds of comments to see what people said. Well to that my friend I say that you and I are one and the same. I’ll probably check on this comment daily to see if I get any replies and if I don’t then I’ll wait some more. Again Thank You.
I've watched Gotf for the 1st time on Sept 23, still now, keeps hunting me, and never get rid out off my head. Goth will be forever etched in my heart and mind. I think and I feel depressed just occassionally imagine the voice and face of setsuko.. Maybe i need a therapist.. Every single day I keep searching any information about it. I even watched all Ghibli films recently just to cope what I missed during my childhood.. YOu are not alone.
Carl Ilio Thank you 🙏
Carl Ilio There was one night where it was difficult to sleep bcuz I kept remembering setsukos happy face and laughter
@@jerrygonzalez8321 de hecho me siento igual que tú. ' La tumba de las Luciérnagas' es la película mas impactante que he visto en mi vida, siempre trato de no olvidarla, siempre trato de que todos mis conocidos vean esta obra maravillosa, y que impacte realmente en sus vidas, que se den cuenta de los estragos que la guerra causa en los niños y que sigue causando aun en estos días. Oremos para que la guerra acabe y que el sufrimiento de todos los niños se detenga.
Lmao thats it, no one is talking about this movie!
In Japan, "Grave of the Fireflies" and "My Neighbor Totoro" are shown at one day in succession when they're released in 1985.
Most people didn’t stay because they didn’t want to be saddened by Grave of the Fireflies apparently
This is a film that changed something inside everyone who watched it. Leaving a comment here, because you never know with life, but this one film certainly changed mine forever...
Definitely painful to watch, but by far one of the most impactful movies/experiences I’ve ever had in my life. A local theatre was doing a few showings of this movie and I went to see it with my girlfriend. Wonderful movie, wonderful message, and I hope later generations watch this and still feel something like I did. Thank you ghibli
I will never watch this masterpiece again, I can’t take it
why on earth do I keep listening to this... whyyyy T~T
Aww, this movie is forever in my heart
2:07 that moment... :'(
:(
Scratchmen Apoo right in the feels
Scratchmen Apoo this is to much for my heart 😭
And suddenly my heart feels heavy again. I can't. 😭😭😭
100 oscars
Imdb 10/10
Highest grossing movie ever
It deserves all
best movie i watched in my life.
I recommend this to everyone
the syrian kids always come to my mind whenever I listen to this song...😭😭😭😭😭
yeah same its really sad
Agree :(
its winter now and they are fighting for living no food no save place to sleep so cold cooler than people hearts..
Sad but true...Wars are everytime brutal.They will always be in heaven
Syriam Iraq and KURDISH children all are victims
After watching this film I realise how happy and peaceful my life is... and I can not stop the tears of regret... I know I need to live happily for sake of those who couldn't and died for this world to be better than theirs... but somehow I know that whatever I do, it'll never be good enough to repay them for their sacrifice. Dear God, let's embrace a depressed mood for this evening.
♣ Rest in peace Isao Takahata, your memories always will be with us. RIP ♧
This music .. is not from this world. Movie was best I have seen in years in animations.
My really first emotional damage was this movie .
So perfectly sad . Watching at 11 and now 32 and give me again chill and tears
man this music is making me wanna cry literally just thinking about the people going through this shit. thinking about palestine, and other places around the world.
Un film dur et poignant. sûrement un des meilleurs du studio Ghibli.
Le studio n'était pas encore créé quand le film est sorti !
Si si
C'est sorti en meme temps que totoro si je me souviens bien
@@lorytkx4491 Cela n'empêche pas que ce film n'est pas produit par les studios Ghibli
@@lilian_21 vraiment? Pourtant le film a coûté de l'argent au studio
Why do I keep on replaying this song just to cry over and over again I'm so stupid
Everytime I'm sad I listen this song alone and start to cry for find hope on me again.....
Merci Studio Ghibli pour votre travail, je défenderais quoi qu'il arrive ce chef d'œuvre.
I was able to convince my sociologist teacher in high school, Mrs. McClain to show this to our class. This was in 2005, about a year and a half into the Iraq war when we started realizing this was a mistake. She explained to the class that there are children like these today in Iraq. The whole class was touched and I will forever cherish being able to share this.
Man, this movie is so powerful... Its the one of movies I really feel my heart fall apart.
Most heart wrenching film. Greatest movie. Cannot forget the scenes.
now the people in 🇦🇪 comes into my mind. 🥀
So sad but....so beautiful --> inspiration for my life.
I straight up start crying from this soundtrack alone. First and only movie I have ever cried from
This movie destroyed me in every possible way, I was sobbing at the ending and my God I will never forget that day. One of the best movies ever made!
The real sad story about this movie is that it doesnt end here.
We dont have to wait for a world war 3, isnt it the truth that there is war every day? Not tomorrow not yesterday RIGHT NOW there are hundreds of stories like this going on in real life even today.
My heart still ache whenever i listen this song
Just looking at this picture hurts
Probably the saddest movie of all time.
This movie change my life. When im tired , when im angry , when routine tiring i play this heart destroyer song from movie witch get you out of the system… and everything is ok❤️🔥
OMG what an emptiness i felt after hear that song and remember that scene....i cant stop crying after a whole hour
Never have I seen a movie that is so beautiful yet so emotionally draining. I cried and I cried some more. I had to process my thoughts and emotions so that I'd calm down because of how heavy the movie was. It wasn't just cartoon ------ it was a masterpiece!
No one should starve to death.
Only THESE type of persons that should burn in hell
Its been 10 years, 10 years of watching and rewatching, listening and re listening and I die everytime
I've watched this movie for the first time today, I don't know how I didn't cry, such a powerful movie with a powerful soundtrack. I'm sure I've listened to this song before, was quite glad to find where it comes from.
What's it about?
Nathaniel Wyatt To speak it without spoilers, I'll use 3 words: World War II
Okay. Is there a trailer I can watch?
Nathaniel Wyatt
just watch the movie, man. It's great.
Alright. ;)
I watched this movie when I was about 15 with my Younger brother (who was about 9) and father (Just imagine and I guess some of you have Younger siblings, how teriffic it was, as an older sister, to see a Young kid (character's little sister) agonizing in pain and starvation, with my Younger brother, who was about the age of the little girl, right next to me, how close from the reality we felt). We realized about some time watching the movie that it was going to be horribly sad, but we still watched it till the end, as i f we were petrified by the horror of it, while everything was getting worse.
The end broke my heart so much, we agreed to never watch it again, and It wasn't only pain and sadness, it was fear. I couldn't forget the images i've seen, the corpses bleeding, the little sister looking like a skeleton).
And I Don't even need to watch it, because it's like the whole movie is printed forever in my mind. A beautiful masterpiece though, and a horrible trauma.
Why Do Fireflies Have To Die So Soon?
-Setsuko,1945
02:40/03:03 é a parte mais mais comovente eu acho do filme, pois transmite um terrivel estado nostálgico de reflexão.
Even the strings are crying
Tudo começou naquela tarde de domingo em 2020, eu tinha 11 anos e decidi ver esse filme sem ter visto nada, eu fiquei mal de verdade após assistir-lo, eu perdi o sono e fui procurar mais coisas sobre o filme e fiquei mais triste ao saber que era semi-autobiográfico, hoje em dia tendo 15 anos vejo esse filme não apenas como um filme triste, mas sim como uma obra prima do cinema em geral, tudo é tão real e comovente, esse filme pra mim é perfeito, não tem nada que eu considero ruim. 10/10
wonderfull!!! this movie makes me cry at the end. best drama movie in the history of anime films :,(
Nii-chan ;-;
Whyyyyy ?
+Thaouss That moment ... :/
The ending scene is the best scene ever made in the history.
I never cried watching any movie but this made me cry like a baby..Still remember the funeral scene and those words “She never woke up”.. Sad to know that people actually faced this. That's why we say “whenever two elephants fight it's the grass that suffers the most”
je trouve qu'on oublie beaucoup le génie derrière ce film ISAO TAKAHATA
If I ever had a daughter I'm going to call her setsuko.
Thats Nice and sad at the same time
I like this
Why something bad going to happen in ur life?
The Firefly Tomb is a fascinating and amazing movie and this video is something in this picture I felt I was being sucked in and I felt like I belonged there
Hit me hard, right in my heart, very sad but also truly beautiful movie showing what love is
I watched this movie a long time ago and it took me really long time to get over.
I listened to one second of this and immediately started tearing up.
Even this melody brings tears in my eyes how Sad this tune is it really makes you cry like a baby i just yesterday watch this movie for the 1st time & after it ended my eyes were red and puffy it is that Sad why innocent people die who doesn't know anything stop killing innocent people life is short live happily & let other people live happily
清太と節子の悲しい物語。束の間の幸せな場面とバックに流れる哀切な音楽！
何回観ても泪が頬を伝って流れて止まらないアニメの名作です！
そして哀調を帯びた音楽の作曲は間宮芳生さんでした！
Assistir esse filme foi a melhor coisa que fiz, encontrei no acaso e simplesmente passei uma noite inteira chorando, é de arrepiar, é reflexivo, lindo.
Um clássico que vai Marcar gerações pois eu aos 20 vindo do Novo milênio tenho esse filme no recanto mais puro do Coração, que esse filme toque muito mais pessoas
Three weeks since I saw the movie. I thought I was ready to hear this music again, but I can't, I just can't :(
I hate the people who just blame Japan for what happened in WWII. It is America's fault just as much, but the thing that really gets at me is the fact that some people are just so stuck up that they overlook people that died like this to stick with their own country. We are all just wrong.
這是我看一次就哭一次影片 加上這音樂 喔 情緒控制不了了
I have never been so sad before
years has passed since i watched this anime, and still it makes me shiver,even makes my eyes fill with tears whenever i hear Setsuko's voice..
