A tear-jerking tale of a brother and sister who struggle to stay happy and alive in Japan during WWII.I have seen this anime several times, each time different somehow but every time just as sad to watch. Just came back from my friends place where we watched this on DVD it is still such a sad and moving film that its hard to believe you are watching animation. The amount of emotion and drama this anime produces rivals that of any live action film and will leave most people with tears in their eyes throughout. It is simply a masterpiece! The animation is breath taking for something produced in 1988, the plot, score, atmosphere and character performances are all excellent. This movie is truly touching, watch this if you want to know how lucky many of us are to live in such times and to see the purity of love portrayed through the two main characters Seita and Setsuko. A highly recommended film to watch, guaranteed to make any grown man shed a tear or two.
Pros - Awesome emotional drama that will keep you watching, fully engaged and concerned about the main characters. This simply left me speechless as to how to describe how it made me feel, it is so sad yet at the same time it is an amazing story of love between a brother and sister during such a hard and testing time. Just go and see it, even if your not a fan of anime it wont matter, this is a must see movie for anyone.
Cons - I honestly couldn't think of any, and for me this film didn't have any, nothing bored me, everything moved me and there is absolutely nothing i can think of that is in anyway negative about this film. It is just an amazing film, pure and simple. Go and see this, it may even change a part of your life it is that great! I loved it and I'm sure if you see it you will find it hard not to. This film is extremely sad though so perhaps if you don't like really sad movies don't see this. This is a shattering film, absolutely amazing in every way.
5/5 Jandals = One thing you should do before you die, see this film!Watch the trailer for 'Grave Of The Fireflies' Here
