War and common people Manga Fumiyo Kono 'In This Corner of the World' found life in an animated, feature-length film directed by Katabuti Sunao. This director is known for his successful animated series and cartoons, such as 'Pirates of the Black Lagoon', 'Princess Arite' and, of course, 'Sinko with the Whirlwind and Millennial Magic'.
'In this corner of the world' of course, it turned out to be the strongest anime of this director. The cartoon balances between something good, warm and native, and at the same time terrible, ruthless and tearing apart.
The story tells the life of a Japanese girl Suzu Urano, whose fate fell at the time of World War II. From Hiroshima, the heroine moves to the city of Kure, where she marries. While there is a terrible war, which takes place very close, Suzu is engaged in family, everyday life, human affairs, creates comfort in everything for which it concerns. The reality is quite different, and the war darkens the bright and warm life of the heroine, throwing her more and more terrible trials. . .
I wanted to cry watching this movie. The film is heartfelt and very touching. I liked and was surprised that the story was unpredictable. Watching the story of Suzu Urano, recalled the cult cartoon Isao Takahata 'The Grave of the Fireflies'.
There is so much pain and injustice in watching. War is so terrible. One day, when asked: ' what is war?' I was told - ' war is when a plane flies and bombs from above all the children and women who happen to be in the field. These are the words I remember when I saw this picture.
The tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is one of the darkest spots in human history. The hair stands on end from these events and all the details. This film is even deeper than it seems at first glance. It is neither banal nor simple, it shows all human life as it is, and how fragile everything is and can collapse in an instant.
I would recommend this cartoon for those who love subtle, deep and soulful works, because this animated picture is just that. Think about what you have seen for a long time, analyze everything, appreciate what you have. The anime is built in an elegiac atmosphere, which is ideal for this story.
'In this corner of the world' - military, animated cartoon with the genre of drama and melodrama 2016. The result, the full-length tape is very strong, and the film adaptation turned out to be successful. Anime deserves attention.
There will never be a war.
