why oh why

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2002)

watching the movie more than once will show you little details, sometimes funny details which unbelievably makes it even more depressing for you know what await beyond all the laughters.
I can't help but to ponder why Setsuko and Seita are not shown in the end with their mother and father just like in the family picture. That would have helped reducing the pain/depression/trauma, you name it. Watch at your own risk.
In the end, I would say like what other user mentioned; Setsuko and Seita are with their parents now.
