First seen the movie back in the late 80's. I was probably 9 or 10 yrs. old, I didn't quite able to get the whole story then.... probably for having it on Japanese Language and have to read the Captions below, by doing that, I have missed all the subtle scenes that is depicted mostly by gestures..... I am now 33 yrs. old... I encountered the Movie again when I was browsing at a video rack, while waiting for my Wife as she pays what she got. I saw the DVD, title was diffent on how I remembered it, bought it, and saw it again for the second time... these time I am watching with my family, took a glance at my Wife and saw tears rolling down her, my 8 yr. old Son too was sobbing, telling me why is that Cartoon so sad.... to make matters short, I just want to say that, seldom we see movies like this.... movies that is trying to separate us from our Narcisistic ways, movies telling us that there are some People somewhere who are 100 times less fortunate that us, movies that tries to tell us to want what we have and cherished it, not to want what we cant have. Its kinda hard to live in a society where Materialism is placed on top of everybodies goal... and where everybody thinks of preserving their Selves first than others... watch this movie and see what really is important.... contentment or Materialism.... family or wealth.... I gave this Movie 5/5, this is the top of my list to watch.... nothing have ever come close in beating it.... watch it and see how great the movie is.... and be touched by Seita and Setsuko on how everybody ignores them, and be amaze how these kids have literally nothing to own, yet still they pursue to live, despite the struggles, despite the hindrances....
