I have to admit it. I cried, I cried a lot while watching this masterpiece of animation. The horror of the war and the apocalypse of the atomic bomb, engulfed my eyes and my soul so deep inside. It always should be remembered: the first casualty of war is innocence. Hadashi no Gen is a masterpiece, a legacy for the whole humanity. I have read many stories and talked to some survivors from the atomic bombs and I have to say that this movie is the first one that get so poignantly close to what happened on that August, 1945. The only thing I wanted to say at the end of the movie was:"I am sorry, I am sorry that I am human and that I can be so limited...I am sorry..."

This is definitely one of Mel Gibson's masterpieces. The movie focuses on Jesus last day and leaves no spaces for telling the message and the story of the Jesus entire life. I think Mel Gibson wanted to address only those people who already know the story whether they believe or not. I watched the movie very carefully and tried to spot that so much shouted anti-Semitism. I couldn't find any! I guess this is just a confirmation that as now as two thousand years ago, in the world there are a lot of people that like to see not farther than their own nose. I think the movie should have been rated NC-17 for its contents.
