GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES (1988)ホタルの墓 | Studio Ghibli - Movie Reaction

[@TakahashiTakami]

This is a wonderful movie, but one I would never watch again. It breaks my heart as someone who is Japanese, I can’t imagine the hardships that my ancestors went through. If you’re taking movie requests, I recommend 聲の形(A Silent Voice). It’s a movie about bullying, but a wonderful movie nonetheless. I love your reaction videos Catmimi and Batam. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@dkrtomodachi]

Thank you so much. We will check the movie. Thank you as well on your sweet and beautiful comments to us❤️❤️❤️

以前は8月になると毎年テレビでやっていたのに、今は他のジブリ作品は放送されるのに火垂るの墓はやらなくなった。なぜだろう。 戦争を知らない世代が受け継いでいくべき作品だと思う。

[@池田友幸-q1h]

サクマドロップスの経営者が身内で揉めてるのがあって、その関係で放映出来ないみたい

[@sachicon]

@@池田友幸-q1h そんな事情があるんですね。突然放送しなくなったので気になっていました。またテレビで放送されて欲しいなと思います。 ありがとうございます！

これは本当に悲しいです:(

[@lancelehman1105]

There was so much pain and suffering everywhere for every country involved in that war. I am American and have a love for Japan. The Kyoto Tachibana band increased this to new heights. War is death on so many levels. History in this way must not repeat itself if at all possible. Be aware and watch that no one starts another one while noone is looking or paying attention. No more pain.

[@アレパパ-e5j]

このような事が、今でも世界で起きている事が情け無いですね。

[@ヤッホーヤッホー-i5z]

日本だけではなく戦争が起きれば世界中でこんな悲劇がたくさん起きます。世界中の人々が自分の国だけ豊かになれば良いと思わずに、国同士、協力し譲り合い、お互いの国が共存共栄を考え、平和な世の中になる事を望みます。広島や長崎の原爆関係も見て欲しいですね。

このアニメを改めて見て思った事。それは我々は極めて恵まれた環境に生きている。そしてある程度の人達が不満を持っている。そして私は感じた。今の我々の不満は贅沢であり、清太や節子の死を無駄にしてはいけない。と。みんな強くなってより良い世界を作ろう!

First saw this film about ten years ago; when it ended I just sat silently for a few minutes, then watched the whole thing again. Did I just see what I thought I did? Yes, I did. I re-watch this almost every year in the lead-up to 11 November, though I understand why so many people say they could never sit through it more than once.

[@BenjaminFlagg_GameDesigner]

Apologies, but what's the significance of the 11th of November in this context? I am asking genuinely, I just don't know.

[@distinguishedflyer]

[@schlamuffenimperator9460]

The name of the autor's sister was Keiko. Now she will never be forgotten.

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

The author lived his whole life with the burden of knowing his sister starved to death and he didn’t save her. He was a child too. I feel so sad that he had to live with that.

[@crystalbowie1212]

The "Tomb of the Firefly" is too sad to be seen many times. But how many children died of malnutrition after the war? I hate to imagine it, but it's a reality. I think it's a movie that reminds us that humans need to make efforts to avoid war.

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

Yes that is what it comes down to. When adults decide to wage war inevitably children will suffer and die.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

you missed the "best" most saddest part: when the song "no place like home" is played and the abandoned shelter is shown with all the debris, which ghost-like images of Setsuko.

[@tomoeabce]

Grave of the Fireflies is not an anti-war movie. It is a "double suicide or The Love Suicides(shinju mono)" movie. Sugimoto Bunraku Sonezaki Shinju: The Love Suicides at Sonezaki( shinju mono)" written by Monzaemon Chikamatsu in the Genroku period (1688-1704) was the original "Shinju Mono" and caused a huge boom at the movie. Akiyuki Nosaka, the author of "Grave of the Fireflies," himself said in an interview with Takahata that this movie is a "shinju mono" story. Nosaka: On the one hand, it is a tragedy, and on the other hand, it is a very happy situation. As for Seita, he is trying to build a heaven for the two of them alone in the world. Takahata:I assume that the main characters will die, and I follow the path leading to their deaths. But I think you are right when you said "heaven. I want to portray that properly in the movie. Isao Takahata reiterated that the movie "is not an anti-war animation at all, and does not contain any such message" ("It is not just an anti-war movie, nor a sob story about a poor victim of war, but a tragic story about an ordinary child living in a time of war. ), he said that it was unavoidable that the movie was perceived as an anti-war animation. Takahata himself describes the movie as a heart-wrenching story, stating, "If I want to show the tragedy of war, I have to do it more intensely." Takahata himself described the movie as a (shinju mono). Takahata explains that although the siblings succeed in establishing a closed family life, their refusal to live in harmony with those around them and their failure to make it in society is something that can be seen in the lives of people today. Takahata:, "Those were very oppressive times, when 'totalitarianism,' the worst kind of social life, was considered to be righteous. Seita tries to resist such totalitarianism and build a 'pure family' with Setsuko alone, but is such a thing possible or not? But can we criticize it? The reason we modern people can easily sympathize with Seita emotionally is because the times have reversed. If the times are reversed again, I have a horrible feeling that there will come a time when there will be more opinions denouncing Seita than his relative's aunt."(from wikipedia) When I was in the third or fourth grade, I saw Grave of the Fireflies in the school's audio-visual room, and I did not see any children crying a lot. I don't know what the kids in the same grade felt and how they understood it. I didn't write a book report, nor did I discuss what everyone thought of the anime. I guess it was open to individual interpretation, as it was when I saw Princess Mononoke. We also watched Home Alone 3 together. I watched "Grave of the Fireflies" over and over again until I got tired of watching the recorded video. I felt the closed world of just the two of them quite a lot... It was also my favorite of Takahata's works.

It is a night view of Kobe around 1987 in the last scene. The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in the 1990s caused great damage to Kobe. ..

[@sari-didi-papi-en-japon]

Original title in Japanese is hotaru no haka. The word "Hotaru" has double meaning. One is firefly and another is fire falling, which implies bombing falling from the sky.

[@dkrtomodachi]

Thanks for the information. You're amazing❤️❤️❤️

[@YK_Paul-J]

Grave of the Firefly is a sad movie, but it's also a very scary movie... Are you aware? Seita looks at us twice in the movie. It's the beginning and the end of the movie. At the beginning, he looks straight at the camera and says: "September 21, 1945, that was the night I died." It's talking to us, not anyone else. And in the last scene, Seita looks straight at the audience again in front of the modern cityscape. It's like "Did you understand?" In other words, this movie is a movie in which ghosts explain to us today "why I and my sister died in pain." And many people think that the scene where Seita overlooks the cityscape of Kobe is the only cut that shows the current time, but that is not the case. At the beginning of the movie, see a scene where he remembers his former appearance. You can see something disappearing. Instead, the dying Seita of 1945 appears. What disappears is the streetlight ashtray that was installed at Kobe Station in 1988 when the movie was made. In other words, Saita appeared as a ghost at modern Kobe station from the beginning, and has traveled between 1945 and the present millions of times. This means purgatory. He repeats this suffering forever. And he is a movie that looks at us, explains his suffering to us, and tries to tell us something. That may mean he's asking you for help. Or he may be jealous of you, or he may be warning us. There is no clear answer there. Isao Takahata also puts cruel realism in the film. It can be seen in the porridge scene that Seita made for Setsuko. Unfortunately, Setuko cannot eat porridge, and she dies after eating a bite of watermelon as her last meal. After Setsuko's death, he is so shocked that he loses his mind. Until then, Seita shed tears many times, but he never cried after Setsuko's death. He spends the night hugging Setsuko, but his face is expressionless. And when it comes to the morning scene, the shot shows an empty plate. The plate was the one that contained the porridge that Seita made for Setsuko. It shows that Seita was hungry and ate rice after Setsuko died. Also, you can see the scene where ants are gathering in the watermelon, but the watermelon in that scene is also eaten. The watermelon that Seita gave to Setuko is only one piece, but in the morning the watermelon is eaten cleanly. However, there is only one piece that has not been eaten. It's the last piece of watermelon that Setsuko bite. Seita shows that there is a perception that "this is what I gave to Setsuko," but that is his only remaining upset. But he eats and then cremates his sister without crying. This shows that his heart is already broken. Until then, seita shed tears many times, but did not cry after Setsuko's death. He hugs Setsuko and spends the night, but his face is expressionless. And when it comes to the morning scene, the shot shows an empty plate. The plate contained the porridge that Seita made for Setsuko. In other words, Seita shows that he was hungry and ate rice after Setsuko died. You can also see a scene where ants are gathering in a watermelon, but the watermelon in that scene is also eaten. Seita gave Setuko only one watermelon, but she can eat it cleanly in the morning. However, only one is not eaten. This is the last watermelon that Setsuko chewed. Seita shows that there is a perception that "this is what Setsuko has given", but that is his only upset. But he eats This shows that his heart is already broken. This is the brutal realism that Isao Takahata shows. Saita was sad but hungry, so she ate rice, ate watermelon, and cremated his sister without crying. This represents the collapse of the mind, and I think it was an attempt to draw the brutal part of human beings without hiding it.

Thank you so much for the information🙏🙏🙏

[@tetsuji4.5]

野坂さんの実話を映画にしたと聞きました。 実際は自分が腹が減って妹の分も独り占めしたり、泣く妹を叩いて黙らせたりした事をとても後悔していると聞きました。 映画のストーリーの中では、清太は優しいお兄ちゃんですが、実際は腹が減って、不安で、妹の事まで気が回らないぐらいの状態だった事だろうと思います。 妹の疥癬という病気や飢餓状態、実際は清太が節子に対して満足に与えられなかった表現が、漫画の可愛らしさからあまり読み取れなくなっていた様に見えます。 節子が亡くなる前、スイカを与える場面がありますが、もしかしたらあのスイカは自分が独り占めするつもりで買って来ていたけど、節子の自分を後回しにして、泥料理でもてなそうとする態度に、自分を恥じて差し出さずに居られなかったんじゃないかという様に想像しました。

[@如月-m1b]

戦争を始めるのは権力者で、何の価値も無い大義名分を勝手に肯定化して戦争するんです。 日本も昔、戦争が正しいと情報統制して戦争してました。 日本の為、祖国の為にと命を賭けて戦場に向かった方々も沢山居ました。 でも本当に被害受けるのはこの映画みたいに兵士だけじゃなく民間人なんです。この火垂るの墓という映画を見て、戦争がいかに愚かなことかを知ってもらえたらと思います。 悲しみと理不尽しか無い。 だから個人的にはたくさんの国の方々に見て欲しい。 戦争は愚かだと知って欲しい。 翻訳して下され。

No need for a "Trigger Warning" whatsoever. People need to experience raw emotions, and if they can't handle it, then they need to get some perspective. It's very kind of you, but isn't doing that small segment of your audience any favors in life, unfortunately. That being said....a non-Trigger "standard" warning is certainly applicable here, because WOW does this movie absolutely reduce me to a crying wreck every time... 😭
