This movie is really heartbreaking through the animation you are transported to 1945 in Japan in a body of child who has nothing to do with the war or the emperor , this movie is a tears maker.
This animation movie is far more better than the real ones, its beautiful and heartbreaking .
Grave of the Fireflies is a 1988 Japanese anime drama/war film directed by Isao Takahata and tells the story of Japan during WWII, focusing on the devastating effects that war leaves on the civilian populations. The story focuses on a brother and sister and the hardships they face throughout the war and their struggle to survive.
This is a remarkable film. The sort of animated move that would never be made in the west.
This movie is truly an amazing piece of work. I was crying my eyes out by the end.
I didn't know about this film even though I am a Ghibli fan since this is so underrated. I quickly decided to watch as soon as I found out about the title and immediately I know the reason of the title.
The most sad thing that I ever saw. But totally worth that few tears.
In fact, brother is the most difficult, mother died miserably, not only can't grieve in front of her young sister, but also must live a strong life, take care of her sister, take care of herself. In the era of war and turmoil, everyone can't expect anything from relatives and friends for food, only relying on themselves.
I am crying right now while writing this comment. It's my birthday, and I wanted to seen a movie that was a definite masterpiece, and I found this one.
