Grave of the Fireflies




This is one of the best movie I have ever watch
Is so sad and real...

We often take our life fore granted, we never be greatful of what we have and the beloved one we have with us.
In fact, we always complain of our life.

After watching this movie, i only know how blessed am i.
I have good food and nice cloths to wear...
I even throw away food that I dont like when the other side of the world is fighting for something to fill their hungry stomach.

This movie has really lead me to see the poor side of the world, which i had not experience and ignore.

Just....
Nothing much to say..


I'll pass my time to the Synopsis below to explain the movie


Synopsis
When their mother is killed in an air raid near the end of the Second World War,

a young boy, Seita, and his little sister, Setsuko, go to live with their aunt.

As life with her proves to be extremely difficult, the two eventually leave

and try to survive on their own while making their home in an abandoned tunnel.

Analysis
Isao Takahata's animated Grave of the Fireflies falls short of being a masterpiece,

but it is still a deeply affecting and remarkably innovative film.
