Truly Profound

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2004)

First of all, I would like to thanks the creator of this movie (anime): Mr.Isao Takahata, for the very inspiring and believable animation.
I have nothing to say that haven't been mentioned here. More than 400 reviews should confirm you to try this gem.
However, If I may add my opinion, the strongest message of this film comes when Seita's ghost stares out at us at the end before he returns his attention to the sleeping form of Setsuko. As if he was saying "Look at what war does to people. Please don't ever repeat what happened again. War is not glorious nor honorable. We just wanted to live more..."
So true.
