18-year-oldIn 1943, 18-year-old Suzu marries Shusaku, whom she had met as a child, and joins his family in Kure, a large naval port city 15 miles away from Hiroshima City, as a navy civilian. As she adjusts to her new life, the threat of the Pacific War begins to encroach on the townspeople.
A spirited 18-year-old woman is married off to a man she barely knows as she combats the daily struggles of living in Hiroshima during World War II.In This Corner of the World / Film synopsis
For older viewers, “In This Corner of the World” is a worthwhile break from the norm, a Japanese animated film adapted from a popular manga that boasts evocative hand-drawn animation and emotionally insightful storytelling.
Shusaku, who returns from his naval service, meets with Suzu by chance in a deserted area of Hiroshima and tells her that he has found a new job. They come across a little girl, a war (atomic bomb) orphan struggling to survive in the ruins after losing her mother, and adopt her into their home in Kure.
The red umbrella is very symbolic of Japanese weddings. The color red in Japan means life and wards off evils and the umbrella itself keeps the bride dry if it happens to be raining. It's quite large and usually carried by man who follows the bride in a wedding procession.
As she thanks him for "finding [her] in this corner of the world," the monster from the beginning of the movie, who is supposed to be Yoichi, is seen carrying his crocodile bride. This whimsical moment indicates that Suzu has not lost her ability to daydream after all.
On the way back, a major air raid hits Kure, forcing Suzu and Harumi to take cover in a public bomb shelter. When the raid ceases and all appears to be safe, a time-delayed bomb abruptly goes off, killing Harumi and taking Suzu's right hand. The story only gets bleaker from there.
It is based on Joan G. Robinson's 1967 novel of the same name. The film follows Anna Sasaki staying with her relatives in a town in Kushiro wetlands, Hokkaido. Anna comes across a nearby abandoned mansion, where she meets Marnie, a mysterious girl who asks her to promise to keep their secrets from everyone.
Netflix announced on Monday that Sunao Katabuchi and MAPPA 's In This Corner of the World film will be available on Netflix in Japan, the United States, Canada, and "some countries and territories" beginning on March 15.
KamishinSince both Ruka and Shinobu are the most popular students at school, Suzu mistakenly believes that Shinobu is the one Ruka likes until Ruka later clarifies that the one she likes is Kamishin.
It turns out that Suzu isn't pregnant and that stress and a poor diet due to wartime is just preventing her from getting her period.

In This Corner of the World is an extrodinary pieve of art that should be on everyones top 100 films to see before you die. Without telling anything to give away the plot, and believe me it was harder than i expected.

Title: In This Corner of the World a.k.a.
Y'know, having asked that question, I can't really remember why I wanted to check this movie out.
First of all, it's easy to wow the audience with gorgeous visuals, which goes a long way for an animated film to earn critical praise (go figure, eh?). And that's precisely what this film does, albeit in subtle ways.
Well, remember how I said earlier that this film does an excellent job pulling you into its characters' daily rhythm? It might do too good a job for many, since one of the big complaints I see online is that the movie is exceedingly slow. I won't lie, I found myself checking the clock every now and then, too.
In many ways, yes--from the standpoint of narrative importance, artistic mastery, and historical significance, In This Corner of the World absolutely deserves every word of praise it gets. However, from an audience enjoyment perspective, it loses some of its goodwill with pacing issues that may take some people straight out of the film.
