first of all i would like to explain why i give this film a 10. i do not rate in comparison to other film because i take each film on it own and and i couldn not fault this film one bit . i be think of rating it a 9 just because it be a bit short in length but then again i think that it be that good that i want more . the animation be amaze . you forget that it just drawings one after another and and then you see something so breathtaking and you realise why the creator decide to make this an anime . to be honest i be expect nothing less from studio ghibli . the story be haunt in it simplicity . they be right to say it one of the best anti war movie of all time . the creator do not even try to present the then japanese empire a something magnificent and on the contrary . they give u the raw nature of the human kind and most of all the unspoilt love that can only be find between sibling . i watch the subtitled version of the film . it truly worth it . the laughter of the small girl still haunt me and i would love to watch this film again and again .
