WWII Japan had high hopes for a new country, but soon, their greed and misfortune lead them down a path of grief and despair. This is when Japan falls apart. The movie Grave of the Fireflies is accurate due to the depiction of the degrading society, wartime strategy, and conflict between U.S. and Japan. Seita and Setsuko, brother and sister, live through the difficult times, witnessing how their once caring community turned into an “every man for himself” scenario. They also suffer from the countries attempt on continuing to fight in the lost war and giving rations from their decreasing food supply. As well as inside threats, the terror of U.S. fire bombings was constant and had brutal effects on Japan.
