Grave of the Fireflies I thought going into this movie would be tears galore but it actually isn't, it'll leave you just feeling devastated and hopeless which is actually way worse. I had this question Setsuko asked growing in my mind constantly "Why do fireflies die so fast?", which metaphorically referred to her death at the end; She was a firefly who died early. The story of the effects of World War 2 has been told several times but not in this way, it wasn't even from Seita but from the little girl Setsuko - my thoughts on war normally came from books about the Nigeria Biafra War like Half of a Yellow Sun and There Was a Country but this movie was just simply the most simplistic story and visually stunning tales of depression, hunger, good and evil, joy, little droplets of hope, pain, disease. I tried to put myself in their shoes by asking myself - Would stealing be OKAY in a time of war? would I ever survive ALONE in a time of war? What if I had a child I knew could never survive? What I was doing or the industry I was working in be important in the time of war? Will my perceptions of family change? Would I rather survive the war or die in it? Would I even have the will to live if I never developed connections strong enough not to ask those questions? Like 90% of Ghibli lovers, I'll never watch this movie ever again. I can't rank it by the way 2 Likes 2 Shares |

ErenXSatoru: The most depressing war movie I've ever watched and one for all times. No live action war film even comes close. To tell you how much impactful the animation was. Had nice visuals as well. There's another anime movie I hear is as depressing and gut-wrenching as "Grave of the Fireflies"— Barefoot Gen. I hear it might even be more depressing sef talking about the same themes of war as well as the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. I'm lining up that one very soon. Watch movies like these and you'll know that most people chanting for war never really know the consequences or have experienced it first hand. 2 Likes 1 Share |

oyaskii: $1M for that shitty movie 😲😲.. I don't think Brotherhood production cost was up to 200 million naira, but we all know Brotherhood was a better movie than this. The folks who made Black Book have a lot of explaining to do as to why that movie gulped a million dollars in production cost. I respect your opinion Sir, the fact is that we encourage mediocrity a lot, that's why the industry is stagnant. Asides the locations, and the few veteran actors that did justice to their roles, the whole thing was just horrendous. Well for starters RMD acts were just horrible and unbelievable, you could see him struggling with the action scenes all through the movie. To run or move from one place to another was a huge task for him. Secondly, notwithstanding that the plot was cliche, the most annoying part of it all was that it was all over the place. One minute it was John Wick, but rather a dog, it was a human being, next it moved to John Rambo Last blood, before you say jack, it's now Taken.Ha!!! Oga writer copy one movie na. Honestly the industry needs to buckle up, one step forward, ten steps backwards. Check out Korean movie, I don't mean the love sh.it, I mean actual Korean movies and see what real progression looks like. 3 Likes 1 Share |

majesticguy:Maan..The $1m most likely went to the color grading and serènrèn cinematography 😄, "Brotherhood" was marginally better than this, but even that also suffered from the same fundamental flaw of repeated or haphazard script writing. Brotherhood followed the tout/agbero/omonilè template, you wouldn't believe what happened next!, The same filmmaker took the same exact template and basically repeated it a mere few months later, and here is where it gets annoying, she sold the rights to the same streaming platform, and this time called it "Gangs of Lagos" 😩, and that's not even the kicker, she went further to use the same lead, "Tobi Bakre" in both 😩. I basically can't tell these movies apart. My friend that is a sound engineer worked on the score of both, told me that the "Gangs of Lagos" project, was the easiest money he has made, he basically just tweaked the score from "Brotherhood" a little and pasted it in "Gangs of Lagos and called it a day 😩. Imagine my "shock" Africa Magic announced a new IP show weeks back, and named it "Slum King", no prizes for guessing that it is still the Agberó/Omonilè template 😄 and you wouldn't believe who is still the lead in this, our very own Tobi Bakre again 😭. Them wan use this template wound us, 😩😩. So you see, the industry here have a serious problem with originality and proper scripting. It is so sad that Nigeria actually has a rich history of literary work work just waiting to be adapted into movies and these filmmakers aren't ready to pay to get these rights, at least when Hollywood writers hit a scripting mental block issue, they turned to this option. I'm still waiting for a proper adaptation of the classic, "The Last days at Forcados high" 😩😩. . Maan..You called this right, but we live in a society were if you hate mediocrity, it will seem as if you are doing the wrong thing. In Uni, I can't even lie, i didn't use to bother with new gen 9ja songs because of how sub-par they were but they took the criticism personal, rebranded Afro-beat, and now like 50% of my daily songs driver is Afro beat, and basically the whole world is vibing to our sound now. But the movie industry is the direct opposite, it is like a cult, you are the opps if you criticize. Well for starters RMD acts were just horrible and unbelievable, you could see him struggling with the action scenes all through the movie. To run or move from one place to another was a huge task for him. Maan...You called this rightly again. I knew there was something totally off about his portrayal of the role, man was basically fighting for his life in it,😩..The RMD i know is not the "Action guy", in his younger days, he was a lover boy type cast, then as he grew older, he became a sugar daddy/ family man type cast, he can also pull off an "Egbon" role that wouldn't require all the stunts he was desperately trying to do in this, You see as Sam Dede was comfortable in his role, because that's what he is used to. RMD, i am afraid doesn't have that range, and the casting crew are actually mad. Secondly, notwithstanding that the plot was cliche, the most annoying part of it all was that it was all over the place. One minute it was John Wick, but rather a dog, it was a human being, next it moved to John Rambo Last blood, before you say jack, it's now Taken.Ha!!! Oga writer copy one movie na.. lol. Yeah.,The writing was a big big problem no proper flow, no proper character design, everything was just happening haphazardly with near zero coordination. If they had sticked a proper script, they might have be on to something special with the very fine production set they had, shame it all seems like a waste as the flick has a near zero replay value. They seriously do need to buckle up and the Korean project should be their inspiration. Some 15 years ago, The Koreans were not even at the level they are now, but they did serious work and they now they are churning out top shelf shows and movies almost on a weekly basis and having major streaming platforms jostling for rights to these Korean content. Nollywood has come so far to still be at this level and i seriously do hope they improve because for some reason i am in a love/hate relationship with them so i am rooting for the industry to succeed, if for anything, i have people in the industry that get thier daily bread from it, and it would do them a whole lot of good to their pockets 😄 and thier career trajectory if the Industry goes to the very top by making quality media that the whole world would want to see. 4 Likes 1 Share |
