    She wanted to give her brother something to eat, but he didn't know what to eat, so he gave him a stone!!

    "Grave of the Fireflies" is a Japanese animation produced by Studio Ghibli in 1988 and directed by Isao Takahata. The film tells the story of Kobe, who lost his mother due to air raids and was adopted by relatives, his brother Seita and his 4-year-old sister Setsuko live away from people and hide in a cave under the rule of the Rinki (an institution established to rule the people of the time during World War II), but gradually die because they do not receive help from adults.

    The film's depiction of hunger is very vivid, and the work brilliantly reproduces the various feelings of love and hatred and distrust of people born of hunger, and reproduces the atmosphere of that era that can no longer be seen。This is a work with the theme of "death", and it does not have a political preaching, but makes a frontal attack on "death" and faces it seriously. This gives the work a sense of freshness.

    It and another anime, My Neighbor Totoro, were released at the same time, each of which challenged the abstract themes of "life" and "death".

    "Grave of the Fireflies" is a bit like Hirokazu Kore-eda's film "Nobody Knows", with a hint of despair and helplessness in its plain warmth, although it is a story about the orphans of war victims. When his mother died, the male protagonist turned over and turned round and round in order to amuse his sister's horizontal bar, and deeply felt the male protagonist's forbearance of tears, and at the same time full of warmth and love.

    In fact, from these details, it can be seen that the young family's family still has no real sense of this disaster at this time, and they still have thoughts, thinking that this desolation is short-lived, and they can still return to their previous peaceful life after it ends. But this is also in strong contrast to the miserable appearance of my mother who was covered in bandages after the death, which makes people feel the cruelty of war again.

    She loves her brother very much and just wants him to live!!

    My brother was starving to death. The younger sister is the only motivation for the elder brother to persist in living, so after the death of the younger sister, the elder brother has lost the hope of living. In the end, he chose to starve to death, ending his short life.

    In this cartoon, the beginning depicts the destined ending of the brother. The soul of his brother, and the soul of his sister, who was locked in a candy jar, wandered with the fireflies, to the train station and many other places.

    Grave of the Fireflies is the work of Japanese director Isao Takahata, a cartoon that depicts Kobe, Japan, after the end of World War II. In the catastrophe of planes attacking people on the ground in the air, his brother Kiyota and his four-year-old sister Setsuko are dependent on each other after losing their mother.

    At that time, Japan was under the control of the Tempo, and the elder brother and sister left the city where they lived and hid in an isolated cave. The two of them were unable to find food, and at that time, under the pressure of war, there was no surplus food to fill the stomachs of the people.

    My sister was so hungry that she kneaded the dirt into balls and used them as food. Even later, my sister ate the marbles in her brother's hand as candy, which was also the cause of her death. After his sister died, his brother couldn't stand being alone in this world, so he also ended his own life.

    The cause of death of the brother and sister was, in the final analysis, that the war had caused too much harm to people.

    I got enteritis because of malnutrition.

    Both the original book and the animation have said that when Seita took Setsuko to see a doctor, he said: Setsuko is having diarrhea and guessing the remainder. It is a direct proof of the enteritis of knots.

    For enteritis caused by malnutrition, the method should be injections, medicines, and nutrition, but the doctor is very indifferent and only says that he is malnourished.

    In the original book, Seita bought a lot of food for Setsuko to supplement nutrition, but because of the Guan Peng Kai system of enteritis, Setsuko ate what she ate and pulled anything, and died miserably about a week later. The animation is not as detailed as it is shown, but if you look closely, you can see that there are a lot of brief descriptions of this side of the chain omen.
