Beautiful but utterly heartbreaking experience

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2015)

First I have to say, you must not expect an action-packed movie.
This is a movie that honestly shows horrors of wars. And it's filled with emotions, real and devastating but also heartwarming.
It follows the story of a boy Seita and his younger sister Satsuko when they are left practically alone during and after the war. The boy takes care of her in any way he can, and tries his best to stay strong for her. But there are moments when he just gives in to his grief and then his sister shows that even though she is very young, she understands him and wants to comfort him. They try to make the best out of their situation, and stay positive, but that's hardly possible when life throws the worst at you.
The events of this and similar movies should always be kept in mind, as the reason why wars should be avoided no matter what, to teach us to love and care about each other, help out whenever we can.
This movie is in my opinion truly a Masterpiece, it described one of Million heartbreaking stories that most certainly happened throughout our history filled with destructive wars and if we don't do anything to prevent that from repeating, there will be more. And the purpose of this is to cherish what we have and take care of each other.
I would recommend this, but be warned of its content. It is beautifully devastating movie. And I gave it a 10/10 without a second thought. But probably, I will never watch it again, because my heart can't withstand more sorrow that emitted from this story.
