World war II - A Story of Gen, Part-1.

I probably wouldn't have believed the horrors of World War II had I not seen "Barefoot Gen." At first I thought that no other sad movie can create Japanese anime like "Grave of the fireflies" movie but later today I was proved wrong. I wouldn't have understood how cruel a man had to live after World War II until I saw this movie. This story is based on a true story.

At first it is seen that a family of five members spend their days in a very easy and smiling manner. A dog playing with a variety of chirping birds and insects. So many people are collecting various crops from their lands and taking them to their new homes.

Gen was talking to one of her next door family members, she had become very good friends with her neighbor. The time was as the year 1945 or the month of June meant that the war was going on. Suddenly, one afternoon Gen found a group of ants entering their house. Then everyone sees different types of light.

Because the Fatman nuclear bomb was dropped there. If you see the scene, your whole eyes will be filled with tears. To tell you the truth, after watching two movies, I suffered so much, which in fact I have not suffered so much in centuries. After the atomic bomb was dropped, various types of people and houses started to disappear. Babies in mother's arms, small children, day laborers working on the street, various types of boys and girls playing, that insect catching dog and a little girl next to Gen could not survive that day.

I couldn't hold back when Gen went to his house after the atomic bomb and what he saw. I felt like I knew when I was going to cry. The situation was so bad that I felt like I would burst into tears at any moment. Gen went there to find his father, his sister and his younger brother trapped in a broken house. Gen was only 8 years old and her mother was pregnant. That day they hanged their father, his sister and his younger brother. His younger brother kept saying

"It's very hot here

It's very hot here

it's hot in here"

If anyone has seen this scene, I would say that if a person does not cry, he is not a person. This scene was so painful that any human would cry without seeing this world.

His mother was pregnant and his mother was going to die with them. Later it is seen that his mother is going crazy giving a kind of depressive laugh. Later, relatives in their neighboring house did not save them. After his mother became pregnant, there was nothing with them that would bring out the child in their womb.

Then his mother gave various instructions to John about water, cutlery, towels and various other things to bring to him. Later it is seen that her little child is once born on earth. But the saddest part was that his mother had no breast milk because there was no food during World War II.

They went to different kinds of people to find where they could get milk. Later it is seen that a woman who will be burned in the fire agrees to breastfeed her baby. But one time it is seen that woman dies. As a result they had no way to save the child.

Later, Gen finds a warehouse, first full of different types of rice, but below, the rice is intact. Later they could survive for a long time by eating this rice but they needed milk for their baby.

One night they were talking about this and then a little boy came to steal their rice. The stolen boy is captured by Gen and later placed in their home as the stolen boy looks like Gen's younger brother. The next day the two go together to collect money for milk.

They have to look after a man in a house for which they pay him money. Later it is seen that when they come home in the evening with that money and go to sleep, their mother is crying so much that their little born baby is no longer alive. If you see this scene, you will not be able to control yourself.

First their father, sister, younger brother and later their new born baby they could not save. What would you say if you see this scene at the end? I myself did not want to finish the movie completely but it is not right to leave anything incomplete.

Later they slowly started living like this. For a time, preparations were being made for them to depart from life forever due to want and oppression of various kinds of people. Later, if Japan surrendered, but what was to happen was complete. We never want any kind of war or conflict in our world.

Gen and ryuk's story I actually couldn't finish. I hope to finish with the second part in tomorrow's article.
