A famous director once said that "the core of the best war film should be anti-war".
War is cruel and bloody, and for both the people of the invading and invaded countries, it means the separation of wives and children and the destruction of their families.
Produced by the famous Japanese animation director and producer Takahata, the film "Grave of the Fireflies" is set on the eve of the defeat in World War II, telling the story of fourteen-year-old Kiyota and his young sister who cling to each other and eventually die in a desperate situation.
Why is such a Japanese manga so sad and lamentable?
First, let's take a look at what happened to the siblings. Under the bombardment of M country, their mother died, the house was gone, and their father joined the army and his whereabouts are unknown.
The two brothers and sisters ran to their aunt's house to ask for shelter, only to be blinded and ostracized everywhere, and eventually the brother and his sister hid in the bomb shelter.
War, hunger, and sickness enveloped the brothers and sisters, and despite their efforts, they eventually came to the end of their lives and became inconspicuous victims of war.
Their fate is tragic, they should have enjoyed their parents' loving childhood without worry, but they "did not have enough to eat, did not wear warmly", and ran for their livelihood every day and fought for their lives.
The lively and cute knotted knot with the candy box will never laugh again, and the strong and brave man Qingta who stands tall in the sky will also turn into a firefly and fly away.
In addition, this film brings us more reflection on the war.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the death knell is not only for the brothers and sisters, but also for ordinary people, soldiers who fight blood (justice). </h1>
Nowadays, we can sit in the air-conditioned room and eat watermelon, we can travel the world with our mobile phones, and we can eat popcorn and watch movies in exchange for the lives and blood of countless children.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > draught do not forget to dig wells, think of danger in peace, and do not forget the national shame. Life is precious, cherish peace! If you can, may there never be a war in the world! </h1>
