Quote:Ever seen Grave of the Fireflies? Yeah, that ending didn't give us the benefit of a survivor to experience sadness "through".
And just think about how much more sad it would be if they had a survivor that's like "Look at what you've done to my country!!" and then he cries, but he's also mad too and that's important. So he takes up a machine gun that he finds lying on the ground, goes to Washington DC, and kills the President, thus saving Japan from shame.
Makes the emotions that much more potent, I think.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
