Grave Of The Fireflies

Of all the animated films I have ever watched, I feel that The Grave of the Fireflies is the most eerie. This is the second time I have watched the film and each time I feel like I have learned something else about the time period and people. The movie is about two orphaned children named Seita and Setsuko and their struggles to live during World War II. It is very disturbing to me because instead of this film showing the point of view from adults it’s from the view of children. The brutality and effects of war are shown without censorship as these children face what there lives have become.
It also shows what war can do to people positively and negatively. A lot of the prosocial behaviors that people exhibit disappear during these war times
