[Discussion] Hotaru no Haka (Grave Of The Fireflies)
[Discussion] Hotaru no Haka (Grave Of The Fireflies)
I was just on ann (anime news network) reading the news, as you do then I see a post about Grave Of The Fireflies Live-action so I went to the site and noticed it stars Matsushima Nanako and Namase Katsuhisa, and so I went to the wiki and noticed I've been there before browsing and didn't even notice.
So I rushed to start a topic of this, I'm sure other anime fans like me are going to be really excited about this, if you haven't seen Grave Of The Fireflies (which considering the type of people that come here and how well known the anime movie is I think that's almost impossible) then you should since it's an amazing movie.
Anyway It'll be a 3 hour special on the 1st of November (This Tuesday) at 9 (I think)
Can't wait

Hmm, I'm not sure how I'll feel about this. Seeing an animated 5yo starving to death was bad enough. That's the entire reason why they animated it instead of making it live action. They didn't think the audience would be able to see past the shock of a seeing an actual small child gradually starve to death on the big screen.
this anime brought tears to my eyes! it was pretty sad. live action, eh? i should just wait til it comes out. i don't wanna make any negative assumptions until i see it. nov 1st, huh? cool! my sis just told me i can't see this because it's her bday and i'll be busy kissing the ground she walks on. and according to her, yatta!
nevertheless, i'll check it out the next day.

The Anime really shocked me.
It was so sad, but at the same time it just wasn't your regular fictional sad anime.
It really told the story of a horrible time, which WWII was.
In regular movies war is often shown as if it's some kind of video game.
I hope they made the LE Movie just as drastic, or even more, as the Anime was, just to show people that war isn't just about some green flash lights on tv

Hotaru no Haka Live Action Drama
There's a (60th Anniversary Special?) live action drama for the reknown anime Hotaru no Haka, or Grave of the Fireflies. It stars the popular actress Matsushima Nanako!

I heard this is really sad as well from the raw provider. So, this is a TV one-shot movie drama? I wonder why it's not released in theaters? Anyone in Japan see it yet?

This special is just as sad as the movie. I was mentally prepared before I watched this show, but even so, I couldn't hold back my tears. This drama special follows very closely to the movie, especially the later parts. Gosh, I cried buckets for the last 45 minutes, I cried even more than when I watched Grave of the Firefiles the movie. I guess I'm just too emotional, but the actings of those two young actors are great. I really wish there will be subs for this drama special.
gosh! i love this anime to bits and thanks for informing about the movie! ah~ its the boy from Engine deshou?
yeah. i cried watching the anime and if these two kids brought to life what the anime did...... then.... i think i need more than a box of tissues.
*edit*
i just finished watching and i cried even more horribly than i did when i watched the anime. my gosh. the kid was great! i don't know if its just me, but this is the first time that i cried this badly after watching a movie.
and yes. this version actually gave a very fresh perspective with regards to the aunts point of view and it was brought out nicely.
kudos. GREAT SHOW

definitely worth watching
The thing that makes this version really interesting is that it shows you a little more from the aunt's pov. The story is narrated by Setsuko and Seita's cousin just after her mother (the aunt) dies. It's an interesting take on the movie without detracting at all from the tragedy of Setsuko and Seita.
Re: definitely worth watching
Yes, I can't agree more! This is a refreshing take on the story, and from this perspective, the aunt is actually not evil... she just behave like how a normal person would react! Definitely worth the 2 1/2 hrs to watch!hanchan wrote:The thing that makes this version really interesting is that it shows you a little more from the aunt's pov.

Ive seen the anime version years ago. I remember I cried non-stop even when the movie has ended. I end up being depressed for a very long time.
Few hours ago, I was TRYING to watch it. After only 5 minutes, I started sobbing again as the anime version scenes keep on coming back to memory. Both story start so alike it's very hard to experience the vewing again.
As I'm typing Ive stopped watching it. I cried too much already. So far, I got a bit from the aunt POV. something that was lacking in the anime version. Eventho I understand more her position, I can't help but feel bad for the two kids.
I'm still half way of finishing watching this. I'm still unsure of when I'll be able to continue it. Probably whenever I feel my heart can handle it. Currently, I'm too moody and depressed. It might be a fictionnal story and not a documentory per se, still its background it's one true reality. That's the thing that hurt.
I wrote too much already. This movie a great one. A must watch. The anime was a classic. This one should be too a nice reference to represent the cruelity of war.

SOrry to bring this back up. I just saw the special and I must say it changed my entire view on the war. I have never cried so much in my life. Not even when someone died. I literally cried gallons and my shirt was wet from tears by the end. It's interesting to see a Japanese pov of the war instead of an American which I'm so used to. I love how it showed from all point of views especially the Aunt's. This was so great.
