Who Else thought Hayao Miyazaki made this movie Lmao! I DID!! WHAT A GREAT MOVIE CRIED SO MUCH!!

[@Confluxi]

There’s so many small details in this movie that make it so relatable, so human, and so sad. From the aunt immediately scolding Seita and asking if he contacted his father instead of consoling the fucking child for his loss to Seita finally breaking down his stay-strong facade after Setsuko tells him she knows their mom is dead because the purpose of the facade was only to protect the innocence of his sister. What a stab in the heart.

[@kn2549]

I think thats the reality of war that this movie depicted. You get so used to seeing people die that your emotions start to get numb.

[@renatolaranja52]

Seita let his pride get in the way and it cost him and his sister their lives

[@cutecrochet]

That aunt is evil

[@Cocomi6789]

​@@renatolaranja52 It's not the fault of Seita, he was a fricking 14 year old so he was practically a kid himself, yet the war caused the two to completely lose their parents. Seita was way to young to deal with the trauma of losing both his parents, getting treated like garbage by others and taking care of his sister all together. He did everything in his power to stay strong for his sister and provide for her and himself aswell. The fact that he thought she was JUST sick and that she would get better soon is pretty self explanatory that he was innocent aswell. By the time he realised that his sister was slowly dieing it was too late. So, it is not the fault of Seita nor is he the culprit of Setsukos death, it's the fault of polititions and the government for starting the war in the first place.

[@renatolaranja52]

I Doubt it you see it's their story. The difference between their story and ours is that They made it. Even if they made the movie the story went along with their imagination so they can convince them self of any happy ending they want too. We are not in control of the ending so when we see something happen all we can do is hope that it ended well. That's why when you are left on an unanswered question your mind cannot relax until the Director confirms a happy ending for example Your Name SPOILER In Your Name even tho they met again everyone wanted to confirm their relationship rather than imaging it with their head.

[@fileflies]

I see a lot of discussions about “this country deserved it because they did xyz” or “this country was justified in doing xyz” in the comment section of videos about this film. If this film teaches you anything, I hope it inspires you to think beyond those abstract “countries” and political justifications and to give a thought to the countless innocent people who get caught up in conflicts because they just so happened to be born at the wrong place at the wrong time. However justified or holy your cause may be, wars do have casualties and consequences on both sides.

[@sanmesh96]

Nicely said

[@fartlord5000]

"just" wars is just a made up modern concept used to justify war. There are never good and bad guys in wars, and it's always innocent people who pay the ultimate price for other people's crimes. People who argue Japan "had it coming" for continuing to wage war or that the protagonists of this movie deserved it (it's a movie ffs, a story) are horribly misguided and without compassion -- not to mention they missed the point. It's not about the US is right or Japan is right, because neither were. No noncombatant civilian deserves to die, and many times it's their lives which slip through the cracks when two parties fight major wars. The sad irony is that many times such "tactical" carpet bombings had little to no effect on a nation's ability wage war except killing thousands of innocents and ruining the lives of countless others.

People need to keep in mind that this movie was not created send out anti-war messages, or put the blame on Americans (This was publicly clarified by the creators of the movie). It beautifully illustrates the conflicting interactions between individuals and the Japanese society during the chaotic periods during the pacific war. The original story was written based on the actual story of the author, from the guilt of allowing his sister die from starvation during the war from starvation. Each character has flaws, and makes mistakes that leads to its consequences, while also illustrating heart warming aspects despite desperation during war, such as the lady who gave rice balls to Seita when he was nearing his death at the station. Regardless your view towards history, I believe this movie is a masterpiece that allows you to think about the various interactions that takes place, beyond simply feeling sad, allows the audience to develop various interpretations.

@connorbranscombe6819 But showcasing the civilian point of war makes it anti-war? Showcasing the atrocities of war makes it anti-war? So all war movies should just glamorize and show the one-sided heroics of war? Those are the movies that are accurate? Yeah right. Like you said, just because someone says it, doesn't make it true. Just because you believe only the golden side of war should make an accurate movie. Doesn't make it true. And I'm not trying to 'take down' anything. I'm trying to showcase an educated, realistic perspective. Anyone who's actually been through war, who's touched it, knows it's absolutely terrible. George Orwell fought it a war and writes of it's horrors and uselessness. Hayao Miyazaki himself lived through wars and bombing. But I'm supposed to take your opinion as the correct one.

The age gap between my younger sister and I is around the same as the siblings in this film. I loved being a part of her growing up, while having her help me keep my youth, through radiating such a simple understanding of life that is ever-present in a child but forgotten by many adults. Being too young to understand why people actually kill off other human beings. Being too young to care about war and only caring that you keep your older sibling close to you throughout the conflict. This is one of very few films which is able to accurately capture the essence of not just being brother and sister but knowing that without one, the other could never function or live through such an ordeal. It is a true love story in its purest and more crushing form. I actually had to leave the room a few times throughout this film, when I first watched it, because I didn't want my mates to see me full fledged crying. The last time I cried like that I was 10 and my rabbit died. Anything that can break me down into my own soul THAT much, deserves a comment opening up in appreciation.

Each dead person in those reported and unreported millions of death, have their own story, own trauma and thier own tragedy. And one death in family is not only just one death, it literally destroys 2-3 lives for their rest of the life. I am fortunate enough, that i atleast i have food to eat and house to live.

I watched this film recently. As a grandson of someone who lived through the Japanese occupation of our south east asian country during WW2 and was around to tell his grandkids about the horrors done by the japanese soldiers, this film still moved my heart.. It is hard to reconcile the price of war on civilians of both sides. The people of both sides suffered hunger, malnutrition, physical and psychological torture. There was no glee of retribution that "the other side suffered just as horribly" ... Last night, weeks after watching this film I still think of Setsuko when I had my rice dinner, and felt soo gratefull and yet achingly sad for her and others kids like her, for the bellyfull meal that I had. White rice never tasted so fullfilling and precious to me.. What an amazing thing storytelling can do.

[@kyleschroder9045]

I assure you. US civilians did not see anywhere near the hardships suffered by Japanese civilians. Japanese people in the US even had it better, and I assure you, they had it way worse than non Japanese US citizens. Sure in many cases civilians on both sides of a war suffer.

No movie has ever made me cry as hard as this one. Probably because the ages of the characters are about the same as the age differences between my sister and I and we grew up in a military family. The entire time watching it, I kept feeling that under different circumstances, this could have been her and me. Also, I think more Americans should watch this movie. I don't think enough of us realize what it's like to be the battleground of a major, modern war. The US hasn't had a war fought on its soil since the 1800s and too many simply don't understand the trauma inflicted by military action.

This novel is based on Nosaka’s experience during the war as a14 years old boy. He lost his entire family including his step grandparents, his step parents ,his uncle and aunt by B-29 firebombing . And so he had being left alone with a baby sister and had to take care of her all by himself. Actually, after the end of war, he met his birth father who was serving for Japanese navy as a captain and later became a mayor of Niigata prefecture.

For all those who are wandering this is not an Anti-War Movie. I have seen people who are ignorant enough to say that these kids deserved it after Pearl Harbor. But we must not forget each sides have innocent people being killed each and every day. No country is innocent in war. True sometimes a country does start the battle with another. But remember that even if you bomb a country back you are the enemy to them as they are to you. Not even America can be seen as innocent...Yes Terrorist kill people and they're not innocent. But America does indeed bomb some places in the Middle East and that causes death. Just as death was caused in this movie. It represents the innocent that has no where else to go during the war, no relatives/families. And it just shows the utter destruction of them.

[@Varan12341]

*claps* Fucking well said, sir.

[@jeromecullen2617]

Learning about WWI in school, teachers often tried to justify the atomic bombs. "If we didn't bomb them, they would have took more innocent lives. It was the only way to end the war." No! I can't believe ANYBODY can justify bombing innocent civilians. Around 60 civilians died during Pearl Harbor. The rest were people who laid down their lives for America. At least 129,000 people died about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We Americans took revenge to a whole different level and the result is still prevalent for some Japanese people. And even though I'm an American, I'm ashamed of our actions then and I'm ashamed of our actions now. I would also like to apologize of behalf of America for the role we played in taking the lives of innocent people during any war.

[@psiloxplays]

I think it definitely has anti-war themes. Both through destruction of their home in the firebombings, and through the mistakes of the main character (and other characters in the film), adopting a prideful and nationalistic attitude that, in the end, kills his sister--the one true innocent in the film.

Whenever someone asks me for a movie recommendation, I would always watch this movie alongside with them. So I have seen this for 6 times already, but I still cry my eyes out every single time watching it.

This is the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Having a little sister I can't even imagine facing these problems by her. It made me cry alot, thinking how many innocent children have to suffer because of these brutal times. 💔

Never been so deeply moved...beyond words. Captured the brutal reality of their lives as well as the subtleties of human emotions in such a profound way. I am forever changed by this film.

This is such a heartbreaking movie. I’ve never cried so much during a movie, I’ll probably never watch it again but it left it’s mark. War and pride is so horrible

The soundtrack, the artwork...a perfect rendering of the wonders of youth, how children see the world and their limitless imagination. The flamboyant colors of the artwork and the innocent playfulness of the soundtracks....all of it is mesmerizing. Studio Ghibli and the composers made a wonderful world as seen/felt by children, while showing daily struggles, but the strong emotions and relationships make it all worthwhile.
