Grave of the Fireflies: Difference between revisions

* [[Due to the Dead]]: After {{spoiler|his sister}} dies, Seita prepares a funeral pyre for her. His mother, on the other hand, is dumped into a mass grave.

* [[Dying Alone]]: {{spoiler|Seita}} in the opening scene.

* [[The Faceless]]: The Americans are rarely seen, and even more rarely discussed. The war itself is treated as a sort of unending natural disaster the Japanese are trying to survive.

* [[Food Porn]]: Heartbreakingly justified. There are long, lingering shots on much of the food in this movie, whether it be a bowl of soup, a jar of pickled plums, a handful of fruit drops, or a rice ball. When someone is enjoying the thing they're eating, it's made very apparent. And this makes perfect sense; when you're being rationed, when you're starving, any meal is food porn.
