Product Information

タイトル:火垂るの墓
出演:辰己努／白石綾乃／志乃原良子／山口朱美
監督:高畑勲

戦争に翻弄された幼い兄妹の姿をリアルに描く、高畑勲監督による日本アニメの金字塔。

昭和20年、戦時下の神戸。14歳の兄・清太と４歳の妹・節子は空襲で両親を失い、親戚の家に身を寄せる。そこで疎外された二人は穴蔵で生活を営み短い幸せな時を送るが、やがて節子は衰弱して短い生涯を終える。そして後を追うように兄の清太も…。野坂昭如が自らの体験を元に書いた短編小説を高畑勲監督がアニメ化。過酷な状況の中で生き抜こうとする小さな命を客観的な視点からリアルに描いている。特に細かい描写で描かれた人物の表情はこれまでのアニメをはるかに超えた出色の出来映え。また、暗闇を飛び交うホタルの中で兄妹が佇む幻想的な場面はただひたすら美しく、リアルな現実描写と溶け合って見る者の涙を誘う。日本アニメ界が生み出した一つの金字塔とも言える傑作である。

An Unspoken Reality Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The experiences of these two children represent what I called, the unspoken reality of war. For the people fortunate enough to not have gone through it, I suggest going through it with this film. Follow the little boy and girl and their candid eyes, squarely in your living room, as you experience what truly happens to the forgotten and innocent participants of war. I will never forget the opening sequence of the film, where the discarded candy container would unleash the sparkling memories of the brother and sister, as they once again would find each other, even in death. Perhaps all political leaders should view this film. Maybe we will have a better world as a result, one of peace.

Depressing... Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I watched this a long time ago and I remember crying because it was so sad... How two children at a very young age during the World War II lost their parents... As they strive to survive... they find many ways to live properly until the war is over... This anime shows the tragedy of the innocent people during the war. No matter what country attacks whoever, there are ALWAYS innocent people involve in every side.

Graves of Fireflies Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I saw this movie a couple of months ago (English version). Beautiful story, but sad... It brought tears to my eyes. It's a cartoon for grown-ups. it's a must-see, two-thumps up. I will buy the CD so I can see it again anytime I want.

i seen this film when i was a little girl and i can only remember some of it , it is very sad story and that it was set in ww2 in a japanese war this story is very sad i tell you why! there are these 2 kids, a 14 year old boy named seita and his little sister named setsuko she is only 4 year old in the begining it shows seita died at the train station and then at the start it show's you how it all started by going back in time. it all started in world war 2 where you see that they set in a japanese family in a japanese house it was night setsuko could not sleep so seita made her fall alsleep by walking her out the garden and when they got back it was in a war and the next day seita hide every thing in the back garden they had to split up from home seita and sestuko had no where eles to go and they had to spilt up from their parents and that setuko ask how is mum and dad doing seita sad worry ourselves when t seita and setsuko when they went to school as a hospital t setia didn't know his mum was very ill, so setia decide not to tell his little sister incase she will get upset and his dad was workin abored a japanese ship caption that has already died ! After their mum died they live their auntie their Aunite was very nasty beacuse his aunite said when you are 14 you are suppose to work at the time and so the seita decide to live home with setsuko so they ask this man can he work for him he said yes only for a few days beacuse he was had less money and less rice after the boy got some money he would go to a shop to buy some rice then They were very poor, one day he was walk along the pathroad when he saw a sweet pack it was made out of tin and he shake the tin it something that was in japanese had some noise it had some sweet so he give to his sister and when ever they had a war comin they used to nick people food and belonging and whenever it was dark or when his sister used to cry he always give her a sweet to stop her from crying. They thought it would work out but it didn't. The best part when they live alone they made a tent with his sister and capture all the light files " think that what you call it" and put them in a jar and put it in the tent and it will glow in the tent " now how cool is that! hoping to do it if i get a chance beacuse i live in the uk and in the uk they don;t have any light files maybe when iam on a hoilday or something " the boy would that about his father beacuse his father is a captain of the japanese caption" sad part- crying " setia work and work till he worked when he came back from work his sister setsuko was very ill and after a few days she died the seita had no one else and had no where to go sad at the end he died but a excellent film and it won best Japanese Animation film cannot remeber the data . iam hoping to buy this film when iam older still a bit too young to buy it hope i buy it in a few years time since it is a excellent film Tomb of Firefiles is excellent film hayto is the best japanese manga if you dunno what is manga, manga is a japanese drawing

One of the best films of all time Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
To say this is one of the best films of all time is an understatement. I cant say too much about why it is so good but after you have watched it lend it to someone, anyone and listen to what they say about it. Deeply moving and life changing. Stop reading this review and buy it.
