    Growing up in syria, a country of war, I watched this movie during the first years of war that was happening I was around 7 and I kept thinking in my head that we were all gonna die from either starvation, beaten to death or shot at. The idea of dying of old age never crossed my mind. Now that I'm safe in another country idk what to do with myself because I never saw a future for myself. When ppl asked me what did I wish to become when I was younger i never knew what to reply. This movie was going to become my reality luckily I was able to leave. But this is definitely the reality of many of my people that's why this movie holds such a special place in my heart.

    Grave of The Fireflies is one kind of movies that i'll NEVER watch it again for the second time, don't get me wrong this movie is a masterpiece and that is the reason why.
    I am a fan of sad anime and movies, but the sadness this movie gives to you is different, because once you watch it would bring more pain for long time and you'll never stop think about it.
    Unlike other series/movies, when sad moments happen they would impact you but you could probably move on after that. But this movie dude, it breaks me so bad even by hearing its name i would end up thinking it again for the rest of the day and ruin my mood..

    When I was 16, I was groomed by a 23 year old online. This was his favorite song when he was sad. He listened to it so much that he ruined the song for me. It constantly reminded me of how I was used as a child, and how he was never punished for said actions. Suddenly, many people found it on TikTok and I was forced to hear it once in a while while scrolling. At some point I realized that hearing the song didn't bother me as much as it used to, that the artist never knew my groomer, nor was it the song's fault that some random guy ruined it for me. In fact, it was a good song. It's been fours years since then, and I'm finally listening to this song on my own accord. It reminds me more of my own self back then than it does him. It's a good song, it always has been, and I should have never felt guilty for wanting to listen to it.

    2:40 the exact point of the movie where I lost it.
    Since the beginning of the film, Seita is taken by the responsibility of not showing his feelings and not crying in front of his little sister, Setsuko. But when he find that she knows about his mother's sad fate, everything falls on him. Look how sensitive, rich and sad this scene is, he still tries not to cry, he tries to hold it. From that point, i cried all the way through it.

      You realize that this particular movie portrays American aggression, right? These people in the movie are being burned alive by Americans. "banned weapons" IS a hilarious sentiment though! Banned by... who? The US? Because we were definitely using that shit in Iraq so for us to say anything seems a tad bit hypocritical. That being said, it's definitely too bad the US decided to regime change your government in 2014 and use your countrymen as patsies in a proxy war with the USSR's ghost. Don't even try to deny it--Nuland is ON TAPE handpicking your "elected" leaders.

    • @kyeava
      @kyeava ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Johnny-rj9on It is quite strange that you are trying to prove to me what we all know, but also with some reproach. I have enough of empty arguments and emissions of human anger. Do I understand that this film depicts the killing of innocent people by Americans? Yes, it does. Is it different from what is happening in my homeland? No. But if you dig deeper and dive into political tartars, it turns out to be much more terrible. After all, you do not fully understand the purpose of this war. You said that our elected officials are chosen by America, but I will tell you that Russia chooses them more. Just like you. Trump is an example of that. This endless cycle of genocidal wars and tours has been going on for centuries. And if you really believe that all this is a global plan of the United States to destroy Russia by the hands of Ukraine, then you are mistaken, I would like to say it, but we all understand that there is some truth in this. BUT! I must say that this war would not have happened if not for our history. You can't imagine how many centuries we have been mocked by this vile people. How many genocides were arranged to destroy us. And they almost succeeded. During the Holodomor, 40 million Ukrainians were killed. This is revenge for everything we had to go through. If there was no resentment, there would be no war. So do not make yourself an expert. It sounds pompous that the whole world is ruled by people from above, but the truth is much simpler. People need freedom! And they will get it any way they like, even if a character is elected as their chosen one. And please do not change the focus of the enemy. Now the enemy is the one who kills. The enemy is the one who rapes women and babies. The enemy is the one who tortures. The enemy is Russia, Putin, soldiers and people who support all these horrors. And I want to emphasize that this is an enemy not only for Ukraine but for the whole world! Peace will come only when everyone understands this. Just as once everyone recognized Nazi Germany as evil and took action. I saw with my own eyes how people are tortured and raped and then killed. I don't need to prove anything anymore. With all due respect, please do not take my message in an aggressive sense

    The first time I saw this movie, I was on a plane. I'm not really much of a crier, but watching this movie made me cry so hard. It was heartbreaking, I have siblings Setsuko and Seita's age and it made it so much harder to watch. A few days ago, I watched it again (I know, bad idea) and I thought maybe it'd be easier the second time. I was dead wrong. Watching the movie and _knowing_ what was going to happen made it so much worse. I didn't cry, I _sobbed_.
    The directors left a lot of clues and foreshadowing that you can only really notice on a rewatch, so if you're brave enough to bear it look out for those.
    War is horrible. Horrible, cruel and most ironically of all, the most unjust pursuit of justice there is. And it's heartbreaking to know that Setsuko and Seita's story isn't an exception, it's a story shared by millions over the ages, a story being told right now with refugees.
    You'd think as a human race, we'd know better than to repeat our same mistakes...aren't we supposed to be intelligent or something?

    Lyrics
    The evil it spread like a fever ahead
    It was night when you died, my firefly
    What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
    Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
    Well you do enough talk
    My little hawk, why do you cry?
    Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
    Or the Fourth of July?
    We're all gonna die
    Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
    Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
    Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
    Now, where am I?
    My fading supply
    Did you get enough love, my little dove
    Why do you cry?
    And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
    Though it never felt right
    My little Versailles
    The hospital asked should the body be cast
    Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
    Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
    Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
    Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
    Why do you cry?
    Make the most of your life, while it is rife
    While it is light
    Well you do enough talk
    My little hawk, why do you cry?
    Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
    Or the Fourth of July?
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die

    Honestly, when I first came to watch the movie I didn't think I'd cry too much, and Maybe not even at all. I'm emotional but not to everything and I've watched countless sad movies that are similar so I wasn't thinking I'd cry. Yet here I am bawling my eyes out as I write this.
    He did everything he could for his sister, and he was just a kid. He had kept her safe and fed her to the best of his abilities even if it meant risking himself. Even when his mother died he didn't cry, because he knew his little sister would notice and kept it in for her. This was such a beautiful movie with such a tragic end and really shows the realities of war, especially for those who were innocent people being affected. I think the fact this was also a true story makes this even more emotional.
    I don't think I'll voluntarily ever watch this movie again, but it was such a beautiful work of art. Rest in peace Isao Takahata.

    But the worst and saddest thing is, they don't have a name... Nobody will remember them or care for them...
    You have to understand, this movie is not only a masterpiece, it's truly unique. It is NOT like those stupid american movies about brave strong soldiers, the heros in every movie, killing 'evil' people to show how great a gun is and the war...
    THIS IS THE REALITY OF WAR!

I had to take care of her always and maybe thats why the movie moved me so much, i think ive never cried so hard in my life watching a movie, it completely broke my heart, and made me remember all the difficult moments i had to overcome with my little sister.

    The Japanese did atrocious things to China, Korea, and many parts of asia they have colonised or fought to colonise. People were raped, slaughtered and executed in disgusting ways. But even so, we need to understand that innocent civilians had NOTHING to do with their government's cruelty, especially not children.
    Growing up in China, we heard often of the heart wrenching acts in which Japanese soldiers have performed, told in the form of anecdotes daily by our teachers and relatives.
    As a child i've always harboured hatred for the country and its people.
    But as I grew it became clear that hatred only fuels more hate.

    The death of a firefly,
    the death of a star,
    makes me wonder why,

    We destroy and create,
    only wake, eat, live and mate,
    we're horrible creature filled with vengeance,
    though when thats what we receive,
    all we feel is an unsteady tension.
    what we destroy is ourselves,
    then we blame on something else.
    We break and abuse our world,

I've only seen them once as a kid visiting my grandmother's house in central Mexico on a hot humid summer night (unusual weather; usually dry weather). Its as if you are surrounded by flickering stars or fairies you can actually catch. Now imagine being surrounded by them as far as the eye can see near and far and you can walk through and around them, and they move around you and through fields.
      They're an infrequent sight in most of the world, but there are a few places around the world where they show up every year for a few months during the summer (most fireflies only live a few days sadly).

    I came across to this song a while ago but I wasn’t really into it. But today I was going through Facebook and came across with a post about this one guy from Venezuela who committed suicide on Wednesday. I was shocked when I started reading all his posts seeking for help. I read that he even had to get special help but it didn’t seem to work. Everything that he was going through was a bit too much for him and decided to commit suicide. And as I was going through his pictures I found a screenshot of one of his playlist and I decided to look up his account and found it. It’s called “play me” and he had this song on it and it’s as if he found support on music. I feel really bad just to think about how depression can really end lives of really special people. Never give up! Keep your head up always no matter what. You got this! Excuse my English/ not my first language.

    It is so interesting to see all those comments listening to this masterpiece.
    I didn’t even discover it through the movie it comes from, it was also part of a German tv series „Tatort“, where this piece was played.

    I just watched Grave of the Fireflies once back in 2007. To this day it STILL makes me tear up if I think about it.

    This literally made me cry. No war is ever won. It is just the result of the unnecessary actions taken by the people in power for their own personal gain. Even if their war is lost, they are safe with the blood of thousands of innocent lives on their hands. War is never the answer.
    Edit: thanks for so many likes, never thought it would get so much attention :)

      A lot of people have won by war.. War is sometimes necessary you know, to fight for what you believe in, to defend those you hold dear. War kills a lot of people, but so do certain ideas and ideologies

      @Rylee Arnold Exactly! War is just a consequence of successive wars. If someone would just take the initiative to stop taking things away from others, maybe this world could see a happier future. Seeing the horrendous things happening in the war stricken countries right now are simply heart breaking. And all for what? - Power and Money, things normal human beings can live without (or atleast with the minimal amount)
