Underrated, Grossly Misinterpreted Ghibli Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2015)

Grave of the Fireflies is a underrated, grossly misinterpreted Ghibli masterpiece of a film that you never wanted to see again.
not going to make review about it as there are hundreds of reviews already Just to make some points: Grossly Underrated - The fact that it is not even considered as a mainstream Ghibli title when it deserve to be placed as one of the greatest animated films (or just films) of all times shows that it is grossly underrated.
Grossly misinterpreted - many critics and reviewers interpret the film as an anti-war movie. Cant be further from the truth. Graves of the Fireflies is about the story of a siblings and their hardships in life, thats it plain and simple. The story is the authors confession of guilt and desire for atonement after her young sister died in his care in real life. It just so happen that the setting is WW2.
In reality it can be applied to any situation where human hardship, particularly children hardship, are involved.
Right now there are millions of young desperate Seitas and little innocent hungry Setsukos all around the world that are abandoned, dying from malnutrition and hunger, being unable to afford medical care, being sold into slavery, physically and sexually abused... and yet people like us (who were torn by the feeling of not being able to help Setsuko and Seita character in the film) are not making any effort to help these millions of real life Setsukos and Seitas out there.. is what i believe the true tragedy of this film.
