RE: Grave of the Fireflies: A sensitizing film [ENG/ESP]
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
When I watched this film π¬ at the very first time, I thought that it was a somber π film about two poor children who tried to live without help from adults during the war. And, I thought that there were many of children who were like them because of the war....
But, when I watched it second time, I realized that he couldn't communicate well with his aunt and his relatives because of his mere childish pride which he thought he could live without them. Also, he failed to ask for help although his parents saved much money in their bank account which he could withdraw.
This film gives me lots of insights not just because it's a sad story, but also I felt that it made me think π€ π how we have to save children and how children communicate.
Do you know that in the reality, the writer of this story Akihiko Nosaka, he actually asked for help and he survived and he couldn't save his little sister due to his childish pride he had (in the end, he couldn't ask for help in the reality as well, which made him regret profoundly)....then he decided to write this story.
It's up to us how we understand this story, but it's so nice that you've introduced this story to Hivers ππππ This is one of my favorite pieces by Isao Takahata π

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 πππ

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 AοΌ in Intercultural Communication in Anime πππ
