This is a movie you only see once. The author Akiyuki Nosaka (The real Seita) wrote the semi-biographical novel that this film was based on as an apology to his sister who died of malnutrition during the war and as a way to assuage his survivor's guilt. He passed away a few years ago.

I cried from reading the Wikipedia description of this movie. Still was not prepared for the visual of him finally gets back to her after finding food only to find her fading.

[@MeowTube_Daily]

I was really happy in the scene close to the ending where he goes to his sister and tells her that he finally got enough money to buy some food for her, but finds her laying there. I was happy she would actually survive, untill he said in the background after she said she's gonna rest for a while that she never woke up after that. Devastated, a beautiful narration of the losses the people from the 40's faced. My heart really goes out to the people that lost their loved ones during that.

[@Josh-Fischer9804]

You got that absolutely right because once is all you need to see how impacting this heartbreaking story really is as I've seen it only once and still remember everything from it. Tell me that's not incredible. I'm going to come off as very heartless here but in my opinion Seita and Setsuko's deaths are his fault in this story and could've been totally avoided altogether so as a result of me seeing it the way I did yes this was extremely sad to see and watch but I didn't cry to it only because Seita because of his pride and unwilling to endure a harsh relationship with his abusive resentful bitch(I can't even censor myself here as she really is a bitch here)of an Aunt is directly what leads to his and his sister's death. However to add insult to injury the story is partially done from the Aunt's perspective as well so we see how she's feeling as well as Seita and Setsuko refuse to contribute anything to the current family they have or the household with Seita throwing up excuses as well as weaponize his status as the son of a Navy captain during WWII instead of trying to work or go to some school of some sorts while the Aunt's daughter and husband who I assume are his cousin and uncle respectively are busy risking their lives working very hard making sure everybody else is okay. You would feel extremely resentful if you were in the Aunt's shoes and remember this was WWII so you were expected to contribute at least a minimal effort in aid efforts to say the least but instead of contributing something Seita decides to weaponize his position as the son of Navy captain and abuse it to avoid working and then runs away with his sister when things really don't work out and refuses to return even when it means he'll live and be safe so I'm sorry if I have no sympathy for Seita here but from what I saw here I feel I'm in the right in my opinion. That doesn't mean I hate him I just don't sympathise with him as he could've lived. By the way I got all of this from one single viewing of Grave of the fireflies

[@michaell.9204]

Actually that scene could entail the sibling safe guarding the new Japan since that was the popular discussion on how to deal with pain of losing love ones. So that they won’t think they all died in vains

[@bluestarartist2010]

There’s another thing to this. Culturally they believed when you die you go to 1 of 3 places; heaven, hell or…there’s a word for it but basically if you die with regrets or anything like really strong feeling you become earth bound. He blamed himself for his sisters death and just never moved on and his version of death was making it up to and caring for his sister. Can think back to the scene when the kid ran out of the cave saying he saw a ghost, that could have been Seita’s spirit.

[@neverforgetme95]

one of the most powerful scenes in this movie for me is the cityscape at the very end. It acts as a hand that connects 2 worlds: Seita and Setsuko's world in the past, and our world in present day reality (or in this case, 80s Japan). It brings us closer to their story, and makes it feel even more tangible.

[@MondoBeno]

When I first saw this movie, I wondered what was going on with their aunt who won't feed them. My research shows that in the last year of the war, Japan's food shortages were extreme, and so was child mortality. The youngest children were fed last, and the mother were too malnourished to nurse babies. It's a footnote event that's left out of the history book. I hear that as a result, the generation gap for Japanese born after 1945 (at least the ones who lived) was very large.

Setsuko lives to tell this story to newer generations. She will tell to the new generations the hardship of war. She will tell that even if our country lost during the war, her brother is her hero. She will tell that even in the darkest time, her brother did everything to made her happy. Until today, I don't understand the fact that Setsuko died before Seita, it seems so wrong to me. Yes, Seita also died at the end, but I think it happened because he got no more will to live, since all of his family members died.

Am I the only one who feels that Seita should have swallowed his pride and come back to his aunt? I know that she’s incredibly mean, but she’s the only family they had. And its a matter of life and death. Surely a life with a mean aunt is better than seeing your sister die…

[@ianloeb1672]

Unfortunately you have to remember Seita was also a kid bordering on becoming a teenager about twelve or thirteen years old at that age most boys are very stubborn and rebellious and unless they are dragged back by their parents would rather die than own up to their own faults that is what seita did add on top of that the Japanese people were and still are a very proud and prideful people do not fault him for what he did he did not know any better

[@reval8515]

Her aunt wouldn't feed them anymore. War forces people to be selfish and heartless, because otherwise they would go insane or die. For that reason I don't blame her, she just had no food left for them and asked Seita to get a job to provide food for the two, at a time where it was basically impossible for a guy his age to find an actual job with sufficient income. I doubt she would've cared about Setsuko if they came back, she would've just simply kicked them out of the house because her situation was already incredibly dire, and having to do with a malnourished child would force her to not care for her "actual" family, who had little food to begin with. In a peaceful situation, this would be a pretty cruel act, but during war, it's just a matter of survival. Think about the guy that says near the end of the movie:"Take this, your sister will burn much faster haha" as if it was a normal daily event. War dehumanizes humans and forces them to become animals to survive.

[@causeforthought1773]

I see it in a similar fashion, yet note Seita is just a child himself. The aunt takes them in and is somewhat affectionate towards them at the start based on the resources they bring, remember her comments about them having butter and other luxuries because they're classed as a military family, and the aunt even prompts them both to seek family elsewhere, prior to Seita taking Setsuko to live away. Don't get me wrong, the Aunt has the burden to prioritise and think practically, however, she herself has suffered no close loss, nor is there a means for either child to really contribute. Seita could help, but the aunt emphasises his age towards serving in the military, which he isn't of age. Seita does step up to try and care for his sister, and again, he himself is only a child. If he sought other family, that could have also lead to their deaths, and if the situation got tighter staying with the aunt, they could have found themselves homeless if food was short, the aunt would of kicked them out to save herself and her family, no question, in my opinion. Both of these poor souls were doomed as soon as their mother was out of the picture, to be lost in the fray. Setsuko was loved up until the end, her older brother lacked life experience and did what he could, even exercising a great deal of patience with her. The ending always gets me, them both overlooking modern day Japan, resources in such abundance, a life these two unfortunate children so truly deserved.

Modern cities, modern lives; living in peace and progress of the old and tormented ashes, and they were finally free from what had been a time of horrendous betrayal and unrest. To all the Seita and Setsuko, may your great and innocent souls Rest in Great Eternity.

I watched it for the first time during COVID time. It was both the best time and worst time to watch it. Worst because it didn’t helped me escape reality. Best because it made me reflect how a crisis change people’s lives forever (and with the war on Ukraine even more confirmed it). I feel blessed to watch this life-changing film. Sometimes film isn’t supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to make you think.

There isn’t a single scene of happiness in this movie if you think about it. Seita in the beginning dies and as the can with Setsuko’s remains are thrown onto the ground you can see Setsuko stare strangely at Seita. From the time of Setsuko’s death, Seita has had to live with the guilt of not trying to save his sister until it was too late. You can see every time the screen turns red, it can be seen as Seita’s built up guilt of not being able to save his sister. To summarise, Seita will have to always carry the guilt of his sisters death forever even into the afterlife.

The author even told the director of this animation to make Seita look like a bad person. (The author wrote this story as a semi-autobiography so the author is actually Seita)

The rest of the comments are so right, truly a "one-time-watch" kind of movie. Beautiful film, but this part right here, has me bawling every single time. Bawling as I type this comment .

Damn bro, i has a long time without crying until now, the time she called his brother's name just ended breaking me.

The whole soundtrack has an eerie feeling to it which fits the movie perfectly

[@radagonsoreseal3457]

The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful it’s the flute that gets me everytime. It brings out a feeling of despair it’s honestly the best arranged music in the ending scene that soundtrack is very legendary and could not have composed a better soundtrack for the movie.

Studio ghibli soundtracks never miss

They're no happy endings in war. Just dead and pain

[@AbdulMannan-jx1yc]

A movie I will never rewatch again...

Babies just little babies..

It's always the kids who are loser in war😢

[@Phreal95]

Anyone else noticed Seita looked at us before he looked away? it seemed he broke the fourth wall, but not sure what that was for or if it was meant for us.

[@wilmito1000]

Yes

[@ka_fasila_12]

I think its telling Us, war is all cruel, please stop

[@misochobit2849]
