Chapter 1543: The glimmer of life, too cruel to look directly at
This version of "Grave of the Fireflies" may be lacking in some places, but it is similar in many places.
Zhou Qingquan wrote in "Film Weekly": "We have looked at that catastrophe from various angles, from the perspective of soldiers, from the perspective of civilians, from the perspective of victims, and even from the sidelines.
The perspective of the perpetrator, and the perspective of the perpetrator.
But it’s really rare to see it from a child’s perspective!
The sentence at the beginning of the film was just shortly after the catastrophe, the sentence "I am dead". It can be said that this line at the beginning tightly grabbed my heart, in a bloody red
In the film, a young man begins to reminisce. This is the memory of his soul. He is already dead. This is destined to be a tragedy...
The movie does not exaggerate too much to show the catastrophe caused by the island invaders, but seriously tells the story about two war orphans.
The cute Doudou was digging a grave for the dead fireflies. His brother came over and asked his sister what she was doing. Little Douzi said: "Mother was not placed in the grave when she was making a grave!" I heard from my aunt that her mother was already dead, so she put it in the grave.
In the grave." After the brother listened to his sister's words, the tears he had suppressed for a long time finally burst out of his eyes. Their mother had been killed in the air raid. He had been hiding it from his sister and said that her mother was not feeling well and was in the hospital. The sister squatted there and was sad.
He muttered: "Why did you die when you didn't feel well..."
Cute Doudou! She didn’t even know why her mother died. When she was staying at her aunt’s house, she would suddenly think of her mother in the middle of the night and cry non-stop. But now she had to silently accept the reality that her mother was dead. The village was destroyed.
The Japanese massacre destroyed the home they had finally found once again. They lived in this deserted mountain village and depended on each other, but she was only a four or five-year-old child.
The war caused the brother and sister to lose their mother and their home. Although they were lucky to escape the bombing of the plane, they could not escape the entanglement of hunger. The lovely Doudou, the one holding the candy box, jumped happily and cheered that he could finally
The child who ate the candy did not escape the two death threats of hunger and rheumatism in the end. She held the candy box in her hand, but she could no longer eat the candy inside, but she could no longer open her eyes. Before she died,
She told her brother in a weak voice: Brother, thank you!
Seeing this, my tears came down again. It touched the softest part of my heart. I had to accept the cruel ending of a beautiful life being destroyed!
The end of the film echoes the beginning. A child of his brother's age, a strong boy, also starved to death on the street soon after. The brother and sister finally lived a happy life in another world, which was a dark red world with fireflies.
Flying all over the sky.
In my mind, my understanding of the title Grave of the Fireflies is that it foreshadows the end of life and hope for Doudou and his brother, all of which are projected into a box of fruit candies.
At the beginning of the film, their family lived a middle-class life. Their father was a heroic air force soldier and their mother was a beautiful and virtuous housewife.
Fruits, canned meat products and fruit candies are used throughout the text. However, the war is cruel. Families are destroyed in an instant, bringing misery and nightmares to countless families. When they wake up, everything changes. They died in the bombing in an instant.
Becoming an orphan, the beautiful life before turned into a luxurious and unattainable soap bubble, bursting at the touch of a finger.
However, what the movie does not show are more children like these brothers and sisters who died in the war.
They don't even know why those people came to our land to burn, kill, and plunder.
Four-year-old Doudou silently endured the news of her mother's death, quietly sewing clothes and cooking for her brother.
The biggest luxury is to lick fruit candy.
Her life was as dim and short as the light of a firefly, but she still said "Brother, thank you" before she died without any regrets.
war.
This war once turned our home into a cemetery full of wild flowers, a tree that was split into half and whose life was fixed at the beginning of the war, and a butterfly with incomplete wings that staggered on the ancient battlefield.
This story is fictional, but more cruel and unbelievable tragedies than this story happened constantly during that war.
The movie starts from the cruelest moment, when the brother died in a dirty and dim corner. Later, the person who found the brother threw the candy box on the brother into the grass. I think the sister's soul, which stayed with the brother after his death, was picked up.
, starting from this sugar box and slowly entering the beautiful but cruel movie scene, the souls of the brother and sister are finally together, and there is no need to worry about everything in the world. From the movie screen, it can be seen that the scenes where the souls of the brother and sister appear are all in the warm colors of the sunset at dusk.
of.
The brother takes his sister to the place where he lived before, as if on a time journey. The movie enters the real color, allowing us to see the story of the brother and sister. The family is broken up, and the brother and sister depend on each other until the end when the sister is malnourished and sick and leaves. This movie
It's too cruel to smash beautiful things to show them, but it just makes you feel beautiful most of the time.
However, such cruelty is only caused by two individuals, and more cruelty is hidden in those silent scenes.
Just like this pair of brothers and sisters, they don't understand why we live a good life, but such misfortune befalls us. They don't know what they did wrong?
A four-year-old little girl needs to endure hunger and silently bear the pain of her mother leaving this world. She is so sensible that it makes people feel heartbroken, and her heart is cut like a knife.
We can't imagine that a four-year-old child, in such a desperate situation, is still there obediently sewing clothes for her brother, obediently waiting for her brother to come back, and even when she is dying, she still does not forget to thank her brother!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a father, to be honest, I really don’t dare to watch more movies like this, because I really can’t stand that my child is being treated so unfairly.
The pain and despair that belonged to her age.
The elder brother is undoubtedly strong. He didn't shed tears when he saw his mother covered in bruises. He didn't shed tears when he saw his mother's dead body being buried. But when he suddenly saw his sister making a tomb for his mother, he held back the tears for a long time.
Running like a spring.
"Why do fireflies die so quickly?" My sister's words touched the hearts of each of us. Her life, like this firefly, brought a glimmer of light to the world in the endless darkness.
But it was so weak, but so warm. When I heard my sister's last words before she died, I could no longer hold back my tears and let them flow down my face. "Brother,
Thank you!" This is the sister's endless love for her brother, her endless nostalgia for the sweet little sweets, and her endless confiding in the human world. My brother buried her with his own hands, taking her ashes and the fruit box with him and the last words.
Hope is gone...leaving us with endless sadness, regret and thinking!
Xiaodouzi, you are still a child, my brother wants you to live happily!
Xiaodouzi... Come, follow my brother, we are going to start our new life, in our humble house, our paradise, our own home...
Little beans...there is something to eat, although it is not rich, but eat it quickly, we have to survive,
Xiaodouzi...I had another big harvest today. Look, I got a lot of good things!
Xiaodouzi...what's wrong with you? Brother, go buy some delicious food to supplement your nutrition!
Little beans, little beans...
Little Bean...you know what? You'll never know.
In the end, Xiaodouzi could not resist the fate and could not escape the torment of hunger, so he left on a night filled with fireflies.
The elder brother hugged Xiaodouzi tightly. Xiaodouzi held the button that he thought was a candy and left quietly...
The next day, my brother left with the ashes and never returned.
Soon my brother also left in despair...
In the darkness, Xiaodouzi held her brother's hand and happily ate candy. The fireflies in the sky were flying happily, as if to congratulate them on finally finding happiness...
She is no longer hungry and no longer in pain, Xiaodouzi, it is her brother's fault.
The night sky in the city has become quiet.
Children of their age, who should have stayed by their parents' side and acted coquettishly, have experienced unbearable suffering. And who caused all this?
They are young and don’t understand yet, but we moviegoers all understand that forgetting history is tantamount to a kind of betrayal!
Just like the brother and sister didn't understand what they had done wrong, what did they do wrong for the tens of thousands of people who died in that war?
It's still the long green fields, the vast blue sky, the warm houses...the cheerful background music, the two children running wildly...
I can only say that it is too bright and sad!
That red candy jar may be a little show off and great happiness as a child of an officer's family in that era. Doudou laughed wildly and loudly, clean, bright, thorough, and indescribable joy...
But it was after experiencing a series of misfortunes; in the dilapidated and deserted mountain village where I lived;
It's on the devastated ruins that are smoking!
Who said that everything is the best in a child's world.
It is undeniable that the movie uses children as the entry point, which is really cruel!
The description of death in the film may be something I have never been able to accept or let go of!
But I know that the real history is crueler than what the movie shows, much more cruel!
When the sugar jar was turned upside down, the last three pieces of fruit juice candy stuck together appeared in the little girl's hand. Her heart suddenly shrank. The sugar was gone, and happiness must have gone away!
So the girl, who was as bright and transparent as candy, was melted by the darkness.
I can only say that she is too cute, so cute that it makes people feel distressed and untouchable. She is also like a transparent and impurity-free soul that can float away at any time.
When eating was almost a problem, she would stand by the river, blinking her eyes, and tell her brother: Mom said she should brush her teeth before going to bed;
She would stand by the river by herself and play guessing games with the water;
She will use mud to make cakes for her brother to eat...
She lights up the world like a firefly.
Until she lay there emaciated and dying!
Silently, I buried the fireflies. Why did my mother die so quickly like the fireflies, with numb eyes...
So, the silent surge of despair turned into loud pain!
Maybe you shouldn’t have watched it in the first place. It’s a movie that is doomed to be sad from the beginning. All the beauty, magnificence and joy are all built on the death, and are just illusions floating over the bottomless abyss. A slight gust of wind is enough to blow away
Scattered, very nakedly exposed to reality, the whole body was firmly locked, no exit could be found, and there was no way to escape...
Darkness comes to an end. When we walk out of the cinema, it is a cool summer night outside, with a breeze, the chirping of insects, and the croaking of frogs!
The brother and sister seemed to be sitting like that, laughing and joking, peacefully surrounded by a large group of light green lights that would never leave!
Such cruelty is far more cruel than the countless miseries that intuitively allow us to see.
Just two children are so unbearable, not to mention that at that time, tens of thousands of children died tragically in that catastrophe!"
In fact, as Zhou Qingquan said, in this movie, because children are used as the entry point, it is so cruel that it is difficult to watch directly.
One fan commented: "
As soon as I started, I thought I would have trouble sleeping because of this!
Sure enough, this is definitely a movie that after watching it, I least want to watch it a second time, or dare not watch it a second time.
The first time she shed tears was when the little girl was restricted by her brother from visiting her mother. She squatted on the ground and sobbed, almost silently, her little figure dragging a long shadow.
Such a film with a compassionate tone about the fragility of life in war, there are many kinds of crying in the film.
The little girl was crying silently. As a girl, when I was a child, I could only helplessly shake my shoulders and cry silently when I was a child. It was not over until I was tired of crying and fell asleep.
And this kind of crying, after the girl actually learned the news that her mother had passed away, finally evolved into crying wildly, although it was also silent, but she let her tears flow freely. The brother, who did not shed tears easily, forced himself to hold on in front of his sister.
For so long, I burst into tears at that moment.
The first time I cried loudly was when I found that there was no sugar in the fruit juice candy box. A willful little girl can feel the greatest happiness in the world with just a small candy. She never thought that happiness is so short-lived. Brother
Knocking out the last few candies stuck to the bottom of the box, the crying stopped abruptly. Once it was lost and found, even the sugar water was worth cherishing.
But this willful little girl, when the fire of life is getting weaker and weaker, would rather have nothing, as long as her brother is by her side. Sugar can be replaced by buttons, and cakes can be made of mud. And that
The glimmer of fireflies that can warm the dark night is so short and fragile.
Building a small grave for the fragile fireflies is actually for your future self."
