My boyfriend didn't shed a single tear watching this film. Is this a red flag ? Am I dating a psychopath with no empathy ?

My boyfriend didn't shed a single tear watching this film. Is this a red flag ?
There’s no real wrong way to feel about something this heavy. Maybe he didn’t like it.
Post breasts.
Thoughts?
Why didn't he just go back to aunt's house instead of murdering his sister?
Anon, did you watch the film ? She was a b***h and clearly didn't want to take care of them at all. Would you feel comfortable being around that atmosphere ?
This is why I can't feel bad for them, it seems to matter of pride.
The aunt had kicked them out, I would feel sympathy, but instead, Seita decides they should live in leech invested bunker and start stealing shit.
If Seita had stomached the aunt for a few years, he could have gotten a job as a laborer.
It's not even an anti-war movie like so many morons believe. The director based it off his own real experience and it's a story of regret, he feels guilty about what he did with his sister. The moral of the story isn't "WAR BAD" or "AMERICA BAD", it's "I fricked up big time as a kid during the war and suffered for it"
Or you know, it's also an allegory for how the Japanese continued fighting even though they had clearly lost, out of a misplaced sense of warriors pride, leading to the pointless deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.
>leading to the pointless deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians
Yeah, not like the USA could just not kill civilians.
Funny though, killing civilians to get a government to surrender is called 'terrorism' nowadays.
It's only terrorism if you're an unsanctioned faction. Basically, if you're not part of the big boy club ala League of Nations.
>killing civilians to get a government to surrender is called 'terrorism' nowadays
It was total war by that point and international rules are meaningless practically speaking
I always wondered though why the US didn't drop more nukes in Vietnam? I mean that scenario right there is precisely what people argue when defending the atom bombings
The Soviets already developed a nuclear bomb by the time America got involved in Vietnam, as I recall.
>international rules are meaningless practically speaking
But international rules was exactly the reasoning for hindering Japan's expansion in China.
To be more precise, international rules only affects the loser of the war.
>The Soviets already developed a nuclear bomb by the time America got involved in Vietnam, as I recall.
The Soviets got the bomb by stealing the technology from the US.
The US got it from European israelites anyway.
>why didn't the US drop the atom bomb in Vietnam
USSR and China had them, and as the amount of those was undisclosed, there just wasn't enough reason to open Pandora's Box.
director? no, this is based on book, whose author felt that.
Ghibli director had nothing to do with this shit.
You can feel bad for the girl anon.
Because the movie is based on real life and real people don't act rationally. See George Costanza.
This is why the movie made me angry rather than sad. It could have all been avoided if the kids weren't dumbasses.
>be aunt
>difficult enough to feed own family, let alone two additional kids
>can they at the very least abide by the rules of the house? No
>reasonably ask them to knock it off with the noise
>the older brother gets mad and runs off
>welp
Leaflets have never worked in any war
This. I hated this movie because the kids were too moronic to follow simple reasonable rules.
enough to feed own family, let alone two additional kids
They brought a giant jar of rice and she also sold their parents stuff. It's so dishonest of you to pretend that they were some poor beggars at the mercy of their aunt.
Exactly, didn't cry at all. Decent movie, and felt bad for the little sister as it wasn't her fault if I recall just the stupid brother. Could have just followed rules and been fine.
Men don’t cry as easily as women due to the lower levels of oestrogen. I’m not memeing, it literally regulates how easily tears flow. Men have a higher threshold of a emotional pain before they cry, the fact that he isn’t crying doesn’t mean he’s not sad.
This, I get a lump in my throat if a film is sad, but I haven't cried tears because of a film since i was 5 or 6 (Dumbo).
No you're a Dumbo.
It's bullshit I don't want to cry but the bridge of my nose crinkles until tears come out, that's like getting an onion in your face
The Americans dropped leaflets on Hiroshima and Nagasaki warning the japs to leave, but they didn't.
That's on them for being morons.
>leave your homes and families and uproot your entire existence
>welp they didn't leave they deserve to be killed
Do Americans really think like this?
Was that the mindset of the japs at Nanking? Or maybe it was the mindset of the japs at Unit 731?
>b-but those were civilians!! u can't blame them fo-
And yet here you are blaming all Americans with homosexual little, "hurr do le americans le really?? XD" snide remark.
War is bad and is sad
Why do Americans care what happens to Chinese to begin with?
so why should they care about diet-chinese you wienermuncher shitskin?
>"hey we're gonna bomb the frick out of your city so idk maybe you should leave or something"
>"rmao whatever yboi"
>gets bombed the frick out of
>"NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU how could you do this to me ebir american piggsu"
Dropped them from where? The sky?
How do you even know they landed at the intended place? Bombs weren't precision back then.
They didn't drop them to specific jap's doorsteps
what if they can't leave? you're leaving all your belongings + your house behind, maybe some people would rather die
that's why they're morons
>konichiwa chinese citizens, it is us, the guys killing your husbands and sons
>you would do well to leave your houses and belongings if you know what's good for you, we swear to you it's a good idea, for we are going to drop the sun on two of your cities full of innocent civilians
>please do not believe your government's propaganda about our ruthlessness, they are total fabrications
I get the idea behind trying to exonerate the ethical burden of snuffing the lives of hundred of thousand of women and kids by showering the japs with leaflets, but yankees can be fricking weird sometimes.
>but yankees can be fricking weird sometimes.

>be pilot assigned to drop said leaflets
>dump them in the ocean because you hate the japs
Imagine being so assblasted that Island Chinks across the ocean barred your gay country club from their country that you blow the geostrategic load that could have prevented the Communist partition of Europe and nuclear Mexican Standoff for the next 80 years
A)They were already being firebombed for months and thought this would just be more of the same
B)Japanese didn't know what the frick a nuclear bomb was because it hadn't existed prior to this
It's not a war movie, it's like Into the Wild
I cry during some films when I feel an emotional connection, usually when someone reconnects with a long-lost love or redeems themselves, that sort of thing. One girl I was dating made fun of me during such a moment and I dumped her a few days later. Next girl I dated for about a year and when I started to cry during a film she pulled me in closer and we both had a good cry together. Her I kept.
>Doesn't cry
>He's a psycho
>Cries
>Ew I'm not attracted to him
This is how the mind of a woman works
OP is a man
so true
I never cried at it either. It's a fricking cartoon,
who cares.
Go watch with him Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade after this movie, it's the perfect combo.
Gave me a soul boost.
Situations in which people try to help other people from the goodness of their heart but end up hurting them kill me bros
This film is a dagger with my name on it and it bothers me so fricking much, I wish I had never seen it before
Imagine crying over a fricking anime
Yes, probably your bf isn't as homosexual as you
>muh women and children
The entire country was trained to kamikaze itself with handheld explosives and bamboo spears. What kind of obligation did the US have to value foreign lives more than their own government did and over the lives of its own soldiers.
So if America was being invaded by the Japanese, the American citizens should be expected to lie down and accept it?
>The entire country was trained to kamikaze itself with handheld explosives and bamboo spears if it seemed the US was going to kill their emperor
Fixed for you. There's a reason the firebombing raids avoided Kyoto and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, and why they complied with the occupiers the moment Mac posed for a photo shoot with Hirohito
it's a cartoon homosexual it's not real
you don't get it
Your mom isn't real
>You ate my only food...now I'm gonna starve!
I know it's supposed to portray how dumb kids are but god those kids were dumb
Why are Americans so evil bros
Ghibli can't ever top this movie, neither can Disney
I have not watched this film beyond the station guard tossing the tin filled with what is clearly his sister's ashes into a field. Too sad for me.
The lesson of this story is that it was tragedy could have been prevented from the start, they're dead because they're moronic af, so crying over their death means you're weak c**t
>hahaha American piggu, we will attack you even though you don't want any part of this war
>NOOOOOOO THE ATOMIC BOMBUS ARE MELTING USSSS
>THINK OF THE INNOCENT e-girl/SHOTASSS AMERICA SO EVIL
get rekt lol
>even though you don't want any part of this war
This, the bloodthirsty moloch-worshiping Yanks were looking for any excuse to spill blood.
and don't you fricking forget it
kek nazis being Black personlovers as always. they should have been nuked too and impotent polcucks like you should be raped by pack of Black folk you love so much.
America was already planning an attack on Japans south east asian territories.
The bombing of Pearl harbor was done as a last ditch effort to prevent the deployment of the American pacific fleet. It was carried out by novice pilots who had a few months of training and on the last few gallons of fuel that the Japanese war effort could muster up after months of American sanctions.
>reading this thread
>check out something on imdb
>picrel
How TF did they know?
The film was dull
Reminder that the message was literally that trying to exist outside of society is bad and brings unnecessary risks.
The author/director states he should have stayed with his aunt instead of shitting and pissing in a cave like a spastic.
I am an only child and this movie did nothing for me, I dont know what sibling love is
It's not that sad as far as films go. I've cried at a few films and this wasn't even close.
>crying over people you bombed
hypocrisy
Yes.
this movie sucks dick, I gave it an honest chance but it bored me to tears
Anime fricking sucks in general and everything that is supposedly "good" is astroturfed by weebs with no taste who feel like they are going to look more mature because this isn't about 12 year old immortal e-girls in mechas, when in reality it's all the same shit with surface level writing, atrocious voice acting and the most generic and cheesy "emotional scenes"
People always blow this movie out of proportion imo... it's a freaking cartoon gimme a break. I've had far to many real life tragedies to cry because of an anime
Every single general except Groves pretended they had been against it all along after they realized their legacy was going to be as genocidal nutbags even among american historians.
I wanted to watch this with a Korean girl I was dating but she was very opposed to this movie. She said "the Japanese deserved everything that happened to them in this movie, and more".
She's right, two bombs wasn't enough.
everybody has a korean gf except me AAAUGHAUGAUHGAU
>OP is a homosexual
Trite, predictable, anodyne
I haven't she'd a tear for the last 26 years of my life. Am I a psychopath?
You probably just don't have any life experience. I used to be like that too.
Why did the little girl starve when he gave her all the food?
No, he probably doesn't like propaganda movies like the one you watched or anime films.
Yeah, you should leave him. If anyone shows no empathy, or feeling when watching this movie, I'd go as far as saying they're not a human being.
I was bawling.
