The movie Tomb of the Fireflies, I would like to recommend it to you, the plot design of the anti-war theme as always makes the human body feel a deep emotion, and the war itself is like a bucket of foul-smelling paint, overflowing with cruelty and ugliness on the canvas of history, so that we feel the hard-won peace and tranquility.
I don't want to use my past habits to narrate this story, I just want to distill some of my feelings in the complex and confused emotions at this moment, if I am lucky enough to have some resonance and experience with everyone, I will feel that my story is more meaningful. Thank you again to the friends who listened to my story.
The film is set in the late Second World War, when Japan's important cities were baptized by bomber fire almost every day, and Japan was a country with typical, wooden structure houses, so the bombing used more efficient gasoline incendiary bombs. The Qingtai family's house was burned down in the bombing, and his mother died of serious injuries, leaving only her young sister to live with her and wait for her father's return.
Qingtai and her sister borrowed to live in her aunt's house, and in the years of hunger and hardship, human nature was the most tested. The aunt took most of their possessions, and they were blinded. The only beauty that Kiyota guarded for her sister was also ruthlessly broken by the woman, and I even thought with strong personal feelings, why not clear the burning missiles, all the ugly evil in this world.
Kiyota and her sister moved to the bomb shelter, where they got a moment's rest. For them, each other is the whole of this world, Kiyota is the patron saint of his sister, he wants to isolate his sister from the cruelty of the world, and the sadness, and the sister gives Kiyota the reason and strength to continue to live. The box of fruit candy in the movie is the only sweetness left in their lives, and Kiyota has left it all to her sister.
At night, the bomb shelters are dark and dark, and the fireflies in the grass are playing small lanterns, bringing a little light to their world, and the light is full of missing and waiting, missing their mother, waiting for their father. The sister buried the dead fireflies in a small grave, because the ground was very dark, and with the light of the fireflies, my mother would not feel afraid. The sensible sister already knew that her mother was gone, and Qingtai's tears overflowed her eyes, and he slowly knelt on the ground and sobbed silently.
There was nothing to eat at home, hunger was something that could not be escaped or forgotten, they had nothing to eat, so Kiyota went to steal, he was caught, beaten, and sent to the police station, fortunately the police did not embarrass her. He and his sister fled into the wilderness.
The sister was unwell, the doctor said, because of the lack of nutrition, resulting in physical weakness. Where is the nutrition, 14-year-old children with 3-year-old sisters, nothing. What else could he do in an age when adults could starve to death.
So when the anti-aircraft sirens sounded and everyone left the house to avoid the bombing, Kiyota turned against the crowd, rummaging through valuable things, gulping down food like a hungry beast. He took out the last 3,000 yuan to buy nutrition. Hearing the news of Japan's surrender and the total destruction of the navy at the bank, Kiyota lost his soul and staggered back. There was only his sister in his world now. But when he returned to the bomb shelter, his sister was lying on the ground, too weak to speak loudly. Looking at the thin, 3-year-old girl's look, huge sadness, almost overflowing from the picture. The sister said to Qingta, thank you brother, and never opened her eyes again.
Where they had lived together, the figure of her sister seemed to be still there, as if she was still cheering and jumping. I don't want to interpret tragedy, because sadness is more touching than happiness, and that feeling is like tearing your own wounds repeatedly, which cannot be healed for a long time, and it is painful and uncomfortable. The sister seemed to be asleep, and a small bamboo basket contained all of her, and the fireflies flying in the sky could no longer light up the night.
"On September 21, Showa 20, Kiyota went to another world, with her sister, where there was no hunger, no separation, no pain, and more importantly, there was no war."
