The movie is also less gloomy than the original animated film. You already know what’s going to happen next, yet it is a whole new side of the same story. This live action version is, in many ways, not that different from Studio Ghibli’s film. Viewers get to see how she dealt with the issues of war and how in the end, she chose the welfare of her own children even when she was viewed as mean and selfish. The aunt also has more children in this version, many of them very young and the youngest suffering from asthma. She became increasing desperate in providing food for her family, and she took that stress out on Seito and Setsuko. She only started being cruel when she found out that her husband had died in the war. In the live action version, the aunt was initially kind.
In the animated film, the aunt appears to be harsh and heartless to Seito and Setsuko. The movie starts 60 years after World War II showing the cousin, now old and grey, telling her granddaughter about the war.īecause of this, we get to see the aunt’s side of the story. However, unlike the animated film, this live action version is told from the siblings’ cousin’s perspective. The story of the siblings, Seita and Setsuko, pretty much remained the same. Aired on November 1, 2005, it stars Nanako Matsushima and Mao Inoue. In 2005, a live action TV movie was made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Produced by Studio Ghibli and directed by Isao Takahata, the animated film became a huge hit and the story became the classic tale that it is today. It was made into an animated movie with the same title in 1988. The novel recounts his own experiences during World War II and how he witnessed his younger sister die due to severe malnutrition. Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) is originally a short story written by the Japanese author, Akiyuki Nosaka.
