About:
The 2nd live-action adaptation of the semi-autobiographical short-story most known through its 1988 anime adaptation.

This version depicts Seita and Setsuko’s aunt as being mean-spirited from the outset. Overall, it’s the harsher film, with both Seita and his aunt portrayed inflexible and self-centered.

If you’ve seen the anime, it’s recommended you watch this after the 2005 version.

I guess you’re still really mad at Steve. Everybody knows that he broke your heart when he called you a cry baby. I think it’s time to be a man and move on. You’re obviously still very much in love with Steve and you think about him all the time. Maybe you should grow up and stop being a baby about it. It’s embarrassing. Get over it for Christ’s sake, you lovelorn dork. Spam time now? Grow up and stfu about it.

This is the first one I watched. I guess I watched them out of order. I had no idea what it was about at all. I didn’t read anything about it. I just pressed play and watched it. It’s based on a true story and it’s depressing and grim. The other 2 versions are probably really good too but I can’t say that I am jacked up to see them. I just want to curl up in the fetal position and be left alone for awhile. 4 stars.

The anime adaptation is very good. I suggest you give it a watch when you have the time. Such a heartbreaking ending – I found it sadder than the one in this movie, but probably because it was the first I watched. To me, the visuals tells a greater story and delves into the grimness of living through WWII in Japan.

I’m going to watch that one later today and maybe the 2005 version too. I didn’t know the story was so grim. Very sad story.

The other, longer version, was far better. And it was closer to the anime as the story was told. But much more of a tear jerker.
