This movie was so depressing.

Reminder that the point of the story was that everything was the boy's fault.
Mason Edwards
God that girl looks flat, fucking hot
Ryder Rivera
Why didn't they fish?
Jonathan Collins
For me it was infuriating
Aaron Reyes
This, they would have been fine had the boy swallowed his pride
Bentley Jackson
Tbf the aunt was being a bitch.
Jaxson Cook
When I watched this I felt the same way, instead of the last third being depressing I just felt angry at the boy for being so irresponsible
What was odd though is that when I talked to other people who watched it with me, they apparently didn’t pick up on that at all and just thought it was a straightforward tragedy

There's a homeless man within driving distance of your house. You could save him tonight.
Grayson Evans
Not that she was going to kick the out, even if she wanted it. It's survival on the line and he's treating the place like a crappy work place he should walk out on. Didn't really give his sister a choice himself.
Charles Rogers
Because you mentally are children and can't help but only think "what you would have done" in the boy's position.
Luke Nguyen
the point is that he grew up in a rich privileged family with high ranking father in the military and never knew hardship until he had to live with his aunt.
even the guy in real life, who's story this is about, blames himself entirely for his sister's death
Josiah Morgan
But that's how the viewer is supposed to feel. The story is an apology to the little sister he killed through his own shortsighted selfishness. Every scene is a penance for the writer. It's mostly retarded westerners who try to force the movie as some superficial anti-war propaganda.

This movie was the most try hard pile of melodramatic garbage I’ve ever seen. Try In This Corner for a more intimate take.
Isaac Rodriguez
Swallowing your pride is a lot harder than you think when you are a dumb kid.
Kevin Lee
there can be dual narratives to a story, you can't deny that he and his sister represent the cost of war. perhaps even symbolizes the mindset of imperial Japan, stubborn.

It's a true story, minus the brother dying at the end, that was just the author coping with the fact that he was the reason his sister died.
Tyler Peterson
James Allen
But this is a story that can be told without the war backdrop, symbolism aside. I really prefer in this corner
Bentley Taylor

A more palatable 21st Reiwa era take, no wonder Japs loved it. They learn nothing of their history.

>Some pointed out the incompetence of the brother, but his will is firm. His will was, not to protect their lives, but to protect the innocence of his sister.
>Their biggest tragedy is not that they lost their lives. It is that they don't have a heaven where their souls can go back to
>Grave of the Fireflies is not an antiwar movie. Nor is it a movie to appeal (to the audience) the importance of a life. I think it's a terrifying movie which depicted deaths without a place to return to.
-Hayao Miyazaki, 1988
Thomas Walker
Yeah, that was the point. Author of the book is on record wishing he had died instead, or at least died with her.
Gabriel Reed
No, the war was important. It was because of the war that everything started. At was because of the war that everyone had to do their part, which the MC didn't.
