Very Powerful

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2014)

A movie that shows a true look at how it was for some children in Japan during the bombings. Some would work and live in the factories, others would remain with teachers and schools, others would move to the country side with groups and stay with teachers, their families or relatives and others would do what Seita and Setsuko did, stay alone, or run away and stay alone. Either way it was not an easy situation for anyone. The fight for food and shelter was very true in its nature.
A very sad look on how war can affect a people on all levels. Truly beautiful movie, and the voice of the little girl Setsuko, done by Rhoda Chrosite, is truly what makes this film even the more crushing.
The only credit done by Rhoda Chrosite as I have seen, but the voice for Setsuko gives this film it's sad, alarming and dooming nature. Not an animated film for kids in my opinion, a real tear jerker and one not to forget any time soon. One of the top 10 best animated films in my opinion.
