I've never cried so much while watching a movie 🥹. This cinematic masterpiece undoubtedly stands as one of the finest wartime films ever created. It can make you truly appreciate the good things in life and remind you how much your family and life itself mean to you.
The film revolves around two siblings navigating the harrowing aftermath of war on innocent lives. With moments of poignant poetry and a consistently somber undertone, it delicately balances a few glimpses of lightness amidst the pervasive darkness. Yet, ultimately, it shatters your heart into a million pieces.
I've observed people raising questions about Seita's choices, yet the essence of the movie doesn't lie in expecting a 14-year-old to navigate flawlessly through decisions. Just like real life, making mistakes is an inherent part of it, and it's important to note that Seita's decisions weren't driven by selfish motives. Each decision he took was guided by his love for his sister, and he embraced the immense responsibility of safeguarding her, regardless of the cost.
