This film is about two poor children, Setsuko and Seita. It was in World War II. They lost their parents and home in bombing. The relationship between them are very strong. Seita is a great brother. He do everything for his little sister even face to the danger. They both face to starvation. They have painful life. Finally, Setsuko was died due to lack of food.
At first , I see the Seita in the train station. He play back the past of his memory. His mother was deadly harm in air raid , but died in sooner and their home was destroyed. His father was a navy officer. So, his father cannot protect him and Setsuko because of serving for the emperor. They become homeless and temporary lived in their aunt's house. Japan is facing to the loss, they had less food ration, not enough. Seita traded even his mom's kimono for rice.
Their Aunt's was very friendly in early time. As Seita had no job and no earning, she showed the unwanted behaviours. So, they left their Aunt's house and move to the unused shelter. They had a few food. They had got many troubles because they lived outside of the social system and they they had nothing to trade for rice.
So, the girl suffered the lack of food and she felt weak. For the little girl, her brother started stealing from the others. But he could not help to live long. She was dead. When I have watched this film, I feel very sadly for those. This is a good film.
This film contains two main characters, Setsuko and Seita. Seita is a good brother of Setsuko. He love his sister very much and carry out what she want. Setsuko said that she hate shelters. So, he take care her sister and don't go to the shelter. Unfortunately, their mother was injured seriously and died. He try her sister not to know about their mother. He did not want her sister to feel sadness but she know because their aunt said her.He wrote a letter to his father but there was no reply. Although their aunt is good in early, she is very selfish. They did not know the address of other relatives. So, they have no one to depend and they move and live in old abandoned shelters. They no earn. They trade all the things they have for food and finally they even eat frogs.
The farmer advise him to apologize the aunt and go back home. But he did not cancel his pride. One her sister was sick and need sugar . So, he stole from other. But he was caught and sent to police. The police man is very kindly and did not punished.
When air planes bomb, people hide in shelters and no one live in the house. So, he stole food in that time. He did not afraid the anything. But his sister had not enough food become more and more weak. As he lived in out social system, he did not about defeating of Japan. No sooner, his sister died. She could not eat the chicken and eggs which Seita brought for her.
Setsuko , one victim of the war, should not die. She is one of innocent people. The pass which she passed over is very painful. Only playing with fireflies is her relaxing for happiness. Setsuko and Seita is a main characters of this films. The author give the massage to audience with these two characters. This story is base on an actual event.
There is no pleasure in war. Some people lost parents. Some people lost children. Some people lost family. Many people are worried about their lives and families. Whatever it win or lost, all the people suffer many trouble,lack of food, people are killed,many building are destroyed. War effect the kids in mental and physical. They grow up with bullets and guns. The war bring tears and sadness for the people.
