I love this movie so much

Awesome Movie

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I saw this film last night in a theatre as part of Studio Ghibli Fest. I had not been aware of it until yesterday although I have seen eight or nine Miyazaki films.No, I was not tempted to cry and I was sad. I had been coincidentally reading yesterday someone's story about how grateful his father had been for the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, about how despite continuing defeat the Japanese command would not surrender, and about how Eisenhower had decided to "fire bomb" the cities to stop the manufacturing of war materials. I don't know how much, if any, of this was true. I had never heard of the firebombing of Japanese cities until yesterday and here I was watching it in a movie.I was sad because all I could think of was how many children had been killed by the Japanese the previous many years of war and, only because of that warfare, these Japanese children died of starvation. So, if the film is to convince one of the evil of ideological warfare, I was moved. It is often said that truly crazy people are not aware that they are crazy; this is how I think of that Japanese war of conquest. Yes, yes, of course there are other frames of reference and everything I know could be wrong. I do know that this film shows both the culture that began the war and the tragic effects of that war. I thought of the children who died in Nanking, in the Phillipines, and in all the other places the Japanese military conquered. I think this is the complete effect of the movie--that war, for whatever virtuous reason, is crazy and that innocent people always suffer. The genius of this movie is that it shows us the faces of two very innocent lives that were destroyed by the craziness. For that, I rate it highly.

War brings only ruin and misery both for the heroes and the villains.Its easily overlooked in western media how Japam was devastated during the final days of the war.A whole country became the sacrificial lamb the Usa needed to showcase their dominance through the globe.And children are always the first victims

What I can't deny is that it's an extraordinary and touching movie. However,what I have to stress is that it's beautified what Japan has done during WW-II. This movie is trying to express a concept Japanese were victims instead of executioners during WW! Please face the truth and the crimes that you've committed.

During the war in Japan, filled with fears and escapes, attacks on the enemy have created tragic scenes. Hostility matter from the beginning the animation up to final scenes shown in the first show make more complicated for the viewer. So that the viewer is somewhat hopeful during the show, but finding a rescue point can be as likely as possible in the real battle. Air strikes are arranged wildly, leaving nothing to the natural and human geography of people in that area except the ashes, and more interestingly, after the changing process, life continues with its full potential. There are not very sharp reactions to the death of human beings, as if the reality of the war was accepted from the very beginning, even if it happened near it. The show is based on the survival of sister and her brother, the bitter realities of a full fledged war cast a shadow over their fate and slowly drown them in the swamp, of simple life-threatening challenges. Tragedy Means the decline of these two in the face of the daily routine after the death of their mother and news of father death. Question; Are you ready to uphold your pride to continue living, living and livelihood? If you are in a situation where you have to steal to save someone's life from starvation, do you do this? Will your pride be challenged with a hard test (accepting the responsibility of a younger sister)? Questions, though seem to be that grave of the fireflies animation give simple answers in the first place and tragic in the second place. the animation has done all its work carefully in terms of its effect on Japan's culture and society.
