Borders uncomfortably on torture porn. The main characters are stripped of all agency. They are stuck in a hopelessly bleak situation where they can want nothing other than to survive.

1. Those fruit drops wrecked me. 2. All the discourse around this movie is about how this movie is a big sad and that war is very bad, both of which are true. Equally interesting and devastating to me was that it was also about the destructive nature of pride. Seito is a child of a nation that was convinced of its own right to use power; and part of this movie, to me, was asking Japanese viewers to look at their past directly as he looks right back at them.

One of the best anti war movies made. The horrors of war and how they change and affect both civilians on more than "property and loved ones died" basis makes this stand out. It's relentless sad and emotional without ever feeling manipulative, which is an amazing feat for these type of movies.

Well, that was the saddest movie I think I've ever seen. What an incredible sophomore effort from Ghibli, though. It's a beautiful, tragic story of a nation slowly dying as two kids who know nothing of survival try to get by. It's actually the first movie I've watched in I-don't-know-how-long where there were a couple points where I wanted to turn it off because it was just too hard to watch. I feel kind of justified in being intimidated by this one for so long, but I'm so glad I finally did.
