About:
A TV live-action version of the semi-autobiographical short-story that is most renowned by its 1988 anime adaptation.
This version concentrates a lot more on the aunt and her life. And because it’s longer, running almost 2 1/2 hours, it can afford to explore in more detail the breakdown of her kindly nature in the increasingly merciless WW2 Japan, as she loses the ability to indulge luxuries like valor, honor and nationalism.
There are two prominent live-action adaptations of Grave of the Fireflies, and this one, despite its obviously limited budget, is probably the more enjoyable one. That said, if you love the anime film, you should probably watch the other adaptation too.
This was an interesting interpretation of the original film, telling it from another point of view and humanizing the cruel aunt. She still sucks for what she did, but it was still interesting!
I have AIDS & im really concerned about it
I had sex with an elephant
Blessed be the children who for they suck thy holy cock & blessed be the gay crybabies & pre-teen faggots & holy father forgive steve & although he bares multiple false witness & fornicates with many underage babes,amen
