The nuclear explosion animation, the plot at the center of the explosion is very scary and real, but the protagonist and mother are so neatly dressed after the explosion, and it is a bit incredible to be able to find a clean...

Anti-war film. The optimistic and cheerful children form a strong contrast with the cruel war, the tragic situation of the nuclear explosion, and the dying family members, thus accusing the cruelty of the war and reminding people to reflect on the war and cherish the peace. The work is intertwined with comedy and tragic atmospheres. Although the family of the protagonist has suffered a tragic situation, it still reveals an optimistic spirit, which is admirable. The direct performance of the...

Mazaki Mori's description of the process of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath is no less terrifying than the various photographic records of "The Collapse of Japan" that I read seven years ago. What is heartwarming is that in such hellish adversity, many "universal values" remain...

"I have never betrayed my motherland, and I will never betray. It's just that my motherland is different from yours. Your motherland belongs to the landlords and nobles, and mine belongs to the workers and peasants! I am convinced that my motherland will definitely become A country of the masses of workers and peasants, and in this country of mine, no one will ever call me a...

A regular animation of Japan's atomic bomb reflection education. The sensational method is acceptable, but the work obviously has a tendency to deviate from reality, which is quite similar to "Grave of Fireflies". The difference between the two is that "Grave of the Fireflies" is a single emotional outpouring, while the subtle political references in "The Barefoot Kid" weaken the tragic color of the work's destruction. And the most crucial destruction itself is nothing more than imitating...

8/10. The lack of moving mirrors in the plane scheduling constitutes a heart-wrenching warmth: the screams of countless lonely ghosts in the firelight and thick smoke, the streets are full of corpses and debris that will break their legs when they are moved, and the doctor with a heart like stone looks at it with indifference Patients with hair loss and bloody stools, survivors whose carrion was full of worms and flies flying beside them were rejected by their relatives, the black rice in the...

The part about having fun in the midst of hardship is nothing new. The nuclear explosion in the middle really restores the purgatory on earth, a terrifying scene of walking dead, and the black rain is coming to Mura Shohei. The anti-war theme is self-evident, and it is a bit cliché to forcibly stage a vibrant...

On the one hand, it portrays the misery of ordinary Japanese people, and on the other hand, it also condemns militarism. After the atomic bombing, the protagonist began to look for a job to support his family, while the father of a certain firefly lay flat and did not work, starving himself and his sister to death. There are still quite a few idiots around the world who are clamoring for this and that to be leveled. We must resolutely fight against such...

It does not focus on the United States that dropped the atomic bomb, but clearly points out that the stubbornness of the Japanese militaristic government and its disregard for the suffering of the people, the unjust war with foreign countries is the culprit. The more shocking the picture, the more disgusting pain it causes psychologically and spiritually, the more it can teach people to see the truth behind...
