"Grave of the Fireflies" is certainly not without its merits. In fact, the innocence and innocence of children is indeed shown very well.
These have also been retained.
In the small screening room, although it was just a hand-drawn animated film, because this film was directed by Li Yi, no one dared to underestimate it.
This special screening was attended by Li Yi's close friends, as well as some well-known media and film critics whom Li Yi has known and collaborated with for many years.
After all, the promotion and distribution models for animated movies and live-action movies are still different.
As for the movie "Grave of the Fireflies", to be honest, Li Yi himself didn't know how to promote it.
This film is very heavy. Not only is the film itself heavy, but the background is also extremely heavy. Of course, he can promote it like other films of the same type, but Li Yi doesn't want to.
It's not because people are afraid of words, but because he doesn't know what this movie will bring.
So I first invited people I know well to watch the movie and give them some opinions.
At the beginning of the movie, Li Yi didn't make many changes.
Because it is presented in animation, it is relatively not that intuitive.
The first person to appear was a boy of thirteen or fourteen, facing the screen: "On March 21, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, I died!"
He turned around and saw a scrawny boy in ragged clothes leaning there.
Some of the passers-by walked away in disgust, while others put down some food with sympathy, but the boy did not move. When he was dying, he seemed to hear the voice of the immature sister calling him: "Brother!"
Finally he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
He murmured his sister's name: Doudou!
In the evening, the cleaners come to clean up.
"Oh, poor child..." The cleaner couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the skinny child.
"Forget it, living is a life of suffering these days. Hurry up, they said that a foreign press corps is coming tomorrow and they want to clear them all away!"
"Come and help, this child is dying!"
Then two cleaners were carrying the dead child, and suddenly there was a "clang" and a box fell from the child's body.
"what?"
"Candy box?"
"Throw it away!"
The cleaner threw the candy box into the grass outside.
The candy box opened and the contents fell out.
The fireflies were dancing in the wind, and the scene was so beautiful. Among the fireflies, a cute little girl appeared there. She looked inside the train station and saw her brother lying on the ground. She wanted to step forward, but was pulled by a hand on her shoulder.
.
She turned around and saw that it was her brother! The light from the fireflies shone on the faces of the brother and sister.
A happy smile immediately appeared on my sister's little face.
The brother knelt down, picked up the candy box, and handed it to his sister.
The younger sister shook the candy box and then held it in her arms. The elder brother reached out and took his sister's hand and walked forward!
The title of "Grave of the Fireflies" floats.
On the train, my sister was playing with the candy box and wanted to open the lid, but she was weak and couldn't open it. She had to ask her brother for help.
The brother opened the lid of the candy box and handed it to his sister. The sister poured out two candies, first handed one to her brother, and then took another one and put it in her mouth.
So sweet!
My sister's feet were dangling as the train drove into the distance.
Outside the train, there were dots of firelight, which looked very much like fireflies, but they were not fireflies, but the firelight from airplane bombings.
At that time, the island country was bombing Jinling, and the city of Jinling was in chaos. Suddenly, fighter planes with the blue sky and white sun logo flew up to attack the island country's bombers.
The crowd below cheered, but unfortunately, we were quickly outnumbered.
Jinling City was in flames.
My mother looked worriedly at the planes fighting in the sky, and took her brother and sister to hide in the air-raid shelter. The sister was still young and didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so she was still clapping her hands nearby.
The mother was carrying a bag of things, and the brother was carrying his sister on his back. Suddenly, the sister shouted: "My baby!"
It turned out to be her favorite doll made of rags. After taking the doll, her brother ran to take out a photo in air force uniform from the frame and put it in his arms.
But when he wanted to get other things, a horn sounded outside, telling residents to hide in air-raid shelters.
The mother and brother quickly ran out with their sister, and bombers flew in the sky again, and countless shells fell from the sky.
The brother quickly rushed into the house with his sister, but there were gunshots and flames all around.
The streets were filled with cries and people running to avoid the bombing. Soon they were separated from their mother.
The brother carried his sister on his back and ran to a bomb shelter and put her down from his back.
The younger sister was trembling with fear and hugged her brother's arm tightly.
The brother comforted his sister: "It's safe here, don't be afraid!"
Although he himself was trembling with fear, he had to be strong and pretend not to be afraid in front of his sister.
"Where is mom? I want mom!" Xiao Doudou cried to her brother.
"Mom is in another air-raid shelter and is safe. We will see her soon!"
The brother gently wiped his sister's face with a cloth. The sister's shoes fell off when she ran just now.
Her brother could only coax her and said: "When I get back, I will buy you a new pair, which will look better!"
The younger sister said innocently: "Brother, I have money too!"
As she spoke, she took out a wallet from her clothes, opened the wallet, and poured out various buttons and other gadgets.
The elder brother praised: "Xiao Doudou is so rich!"
My sister smiled happily.
Suddenly raindrops appeared on the ground.
It started to rain.
Heavy rain extinguished the flames, but after the air raid, Jinling City was no longer what it was before.
The brother climbed up with his sister on his back and saw smoke filled eyes.
They returned home and reunited with their mother.
But the happy time is always short-lived. Soon, they received the bad news that their father died heroically in the air raid.
The backbone of the family fell, and my mother shed tears.
Neither my brother nor my mother dared to tell my sister, so they could only cry secretly.
My sister didn't know what happened, but she was still playing happily.
But the war was getting closer and closer, and the army was about to evacuate Jinling. However, there were too many people evacuating, and their orphaned and widowed family simply could not get on the evacuation ship.
The air raid came again.
They had no choice but to take shelter in the air raid shelter again.
Only this time, bad luck struck again and they lost their mother forever.
My sister was very sad when she couldn't see her mother. My brother didn't dare to let her know that her mother had left, so he could only make faces and bark to tease her.
The neighbors told them that Jinling City was about to fall and asked them to escape quickly.
But where can they escape to?
My mother is gone, and my family is gone.
He heard that there was a church in Jinling City to take in children, but he took his sister to take a look, but all he saw was a closed door.
The island country's army entered the city and burned, killed, raped, and robbed everywhere. The brother could only carry his sister on his back and walk toward the mountains.
The brother carried his sister on his back and traveled through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the small mountain village where his distant aunt lived.
Because it is in the mountains, it has not been affected by the war.
When my aunt saw the two little ones, she felt very distressed.
The younger sister was still thinking about her mother, so her brother could only lie to her that her mother was injured and was being treated in the hospital.
Here, the ignorant sister not only still misses her mother, but also regains her innocent appearance.
My brother and sister live here, and my brother works diligently to help his aunt's family.
Being sensible makes people feel distressed.
But my sister would still wake up at night, crying and calling for her mother.
At this time, in order not to disturb the aunt and others, the brother could only carry his sister out of the door and coax her at the same time.
"Little baby, sleep well, little Doudou, sleep well..."
Fireflies danced beside him, and Little Doudou slowly fell asleep on his brother's back.
However, the good times did not last long. On this day, a group of national soldiers from the islands came outside the village.
After they entered the village, they gathered everyone together.
Because the brother took his sister into the mountains, he escaped.
But when I returned to the village, I saw the village was ablaze.
The villagers were gathered together and brutally killed.
The brother quickly covered his sister's eyes, not daring to let her see this scene.
The innocent sister still didn’t know what was going on, so she innocently asked her brother: “Brother, I’m so hungry, when will we eat?”
At this time, a gunshot was heard, and the brother quickly hid behind his sister.
In order to prevent his sister from making any noise, the brother took out the candy box, poured a candy out of it and put it in her mouth.
Waited until dark.
Then my brother ran out quietly, but the island soldiers had already left.
But the whole village was deserted. My brother saw many familiar faces in the village, all of them collapsed there.
He saw his aunt's family.
He didn't know what to do, his stomach growled, his brother wiped away his tears fiercely, and then returned to his aunt's house.
After searching for a long time, I found something to eat.
He quickly took the things to find his sister. After eating, the sister fell asleep tiredly, but she still called her mother from time to time.
My brother doesn’t know what to do next?
He didn't dare to take his sister outside because there were all those cruel beasts outside.
Fortunately, it is safe here for the time being, but there are no people around.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm. My brother went to cut firewood and search for food from every household in the village that had no one left.
However, this place has long been looted by the island soldiers, and the food available is very limited.
However, there was no need to go hungry for the time being. The elder brother took his younger sister to the mountains to cut firewood, fetch water, and cook.
He didn't know what to do, and he was afraid. He would always cry secretly at night after his sister fell asleep.
But he knew he had to be strong.
Because he promised his mother that he would protect and take good care of his sister.
Days passed, but there was less and less food to eat, so he could only go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.
At night, my brother went to catch fireflies to comfort his sister. He caught many fireflies.
They were released together. Inside the mosquito net, fireflies were flying, and the light shone on the faces of the brother and sister. The two of them lay there, as if they were looking at the stars in the night sky. It was so beautiful.
The next day, my sister was digging soil on the ground.
The elder brother stepped forward in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
My sister said innocently: "I'm digging a grave! Mom, isn't she sleeping in the grave?"
The brother was immediately shocked. The sister put the things in the pit and said, "My aunt told me. She said that my mother is no longer here and she wants to sleep in the grave."
Hearing what his sister said, my brother burst into tears!
It turns out that my sister knows more than she thought and is stronger than she thought!
"Doudou, can we go visit mom's grave another day?" Although he didn't know where his mom was buried, this was the only thing he could do.
Doudou raised her head, her little face already soaked with tears. She asked ignorantly: "Brother, why did the fireflies die so quickly?"
My brother can't answer this question because he doesn't know.
He didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day. Although his brother would give it to his sister first when he came back from collecting food, the little sister who lacked nutrition was still getting thinner day by day.
My brother saw the pain in his eyes, but he didn't know what to do?
That day, my brother took my sister out to look for food. My sister found a half-rotten sweet potato at a family's house and shouted excitedly to her brother: "Brother, I found something delicious!"
The brother combed his sister's hair and played with her.
But as the days passed, my brother and sister became thinner and thinner.
My sister is sick!
Crying and saying weakly: "Brother, I feel so uncomfortable! I want my mother. Can I see my mother if I die?"
The elder brother burst into tears, hugged his thin sister and shook his head: "No, I will definitely cure Doudou! Be good, Doudou!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He knew that he could not continue like this, he had to find medicine for his sister.
He put all the edible things he found next to his sister.
"Good boy Doudou, brother is going to find some medicine for you. Doudou is hungry, just eat some! Brother will be back soon!"
He wanted to take his sister with him, but his weak body could not carry her for a long distance.
So I can only let my sister stay temporarily.
God was not kind, and it suddenly started pouring rain again.
The elder brother braved the rain, gritted his teeth, traveled through mountains and rivers, and arrived outside Jinling City.
A teenage beggar-like brother was not stopped.
He came to the city, found a pawn shop, and exchanged a bracelet left by his mother for some money.
But bad luck only picks out misfortune, and he was quickly targeted as a child holding the money.
He clutched the money tightly and begged bitterly, but he was beaten and kicked.
The money was robbed, and he cried helplessly and desperately, but this could not change everything.
He wiped his tears and endured the pain in his body, and came to the door of a pharmacy, but he had no money and could not buy medicine at all.
It was getting dark, so he could only wipe away his tears and walk back.
Because his sister is still waiting for him.
Enduring hunger, he once again trekked across mountains and rivers and returned to the small village.
But what he saw was his sister lying there dying.
The brother looked at his sister with a heart-wrenching feeling. He hated himself for being useless.
He gave himself two hard slaps.
"Brother!" my sister's weak voice sounded.
"Doudou! I'm sorry, it's my brother who is useless..."
"Brother, don't cry, don't cry, just eat some candy. Mom said, it won't hurt if you eat one candy!"
Looking at the candy box handed over by his sister, the brother gritted his teeth and tried not to let the tears fall, but he couldn't stop it.
"Brother, it doesn't hurt. Eat Doudou!"
He brewed the candy with water and gave it to his sister to drink.
"So sweet! So... delicious. Brother, drink it too!"
That night, he hugged his sister tightly, but her sister never opened her eyes again.
At dawn, he seemed to hear his sister's voice again, but the sister in his arms could no longer call out brother.
That sensible, heart-warming sister is gone!
Went to find my mother!
He seemed to see his sister still there waiting for his brother to come home, and then she threw herself into his arms, chattering...
