Thank you very much for leaving your comment, the truth is you are right and I didn't leave it in the post so as not to give spoilers. I think it's a bit of everything, Seita's stubbornness, the aunt was quite cruel in how she said things, especially to poor Setsuko who was just a little girl, also the indifference of many adults. I think the aunt did behave a bit badly, come on, she didn't even give them good food and Seita's mother's clothes had been sold. I've seen a lot of discussion about that situation, but I really don't know what to think other than that there were several unfavorable situations, if I think Seita didn't know how to ask for help and thought she could do it alone. Anyway, I think it's a movie that teaches us a harsh reality.
Yeah, I agree. The aunt is pretty harsh, but I believe that people had to be ego-centric in a way to survive in the wartime. Well, Seita didn't do anything while others were working. That sucks. The saddest part of the film is that the most innocent Setsuko died because of the cruel side of humanity and the war made changed lots of people including the aunt and Seita. What a masterpiece by Isao Takahata 😃👏👏

The most interesting thing about this story for me, is that not everything is "black" or "white", there are nuances, given the context and the situation that was lived, I understand that the aunt was like that, maybe it was not the best way to act, but, many people at that time had to be selfish. Seita was quite impulsive, but I don't crucify him because he was only 14 years old, we can't expect him to act like an adult. It's definitely a work worth analyzing and that's what I like most about it.
Indeed!! Indeed!!! You would definitely get an A＋ in Intercultural Communication in Anime 😃👏👏
