Barefoot Gen (sub)

RATING: ★★★★

A very disturbing but necessary film to watch, Barefoot Gen is a Japanese animated film based on the semi-autobiographical comic book series, Hadashi no Gen, written by Keiji Nakazawa. The film is a powerful anti-war piece that shows the devastating effects of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. The story follows the life of a young boy named Gen and his family, who lived through the bombing and its aftermath.

At the start of the film, we see the society living in extreme poverty as a result of the government’s war effort. Food is running low, rations are small, and people are starving. Everyone is on edge as air raid sirens keep going off and they have to continuously hide in bomb shelters until an all-clear is announced. The film does a great job of showing the audience what it was really like to live in a war-torn city.

The bomb was dropped, and the impact was instantaneous. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, buildings and land were destroyed, and there was smoke, ash, and fire everywhere. The visuals in the film do not hold back in illustrating the calamity that followed the bombing of the city of Hiroshima. We are offered several minutes of a sequence that shows the broad range of victims of the attack, creating a moment of realization that no groups were spared.

Throughout the film, we see the survivors trying to cope with what has happened to them, their friends and family, and those around them, while simultaneously trying to learn how to survive in such harsh conditions. The story emphasizes the ways in which war affects everyday people. A lot of times, when we hear about tragic things that happen, whether it be wars or bombings, it is easy to dissociate from those events, not focusing on the way that it affects the individual, and instead focusing on what it means globally and politically.

The film also features scientific background information that plays over some of the scenes, painting a horrifying picture of the facts that we've heard time and time again but never really thought deeply about. Watching people die from drinking the water, not knowing that it had radioactive substances in it, was heart-wrenching. It showed how soldiers treated the bodies of the victims, as if they were never alive, which was disturbing to watch.

The story of Gen and his family is heart-wrenching. Gen tries his best to take care of his family, both before and after the bombing. One scene that was incredibly saddening was when the bomb first hit, and we watched people melt away and shrivel to dust. The film also portrayed the survivors of the bombing as zombies, which was very disturbing. The fact that Gen's baby sister did end up dying made everything so much sadder.

Barefoot Gen is a very important piece of history that shows us how destructive and devastating war can be, and how it affects innocent people. It serves as a reminder to be grateful for what we have and to never take it for granted. Although it was a difficult watch, I think it is important to watch things like this to really understand that casualty statistics are more than just numbers; they account for the individual life, with dreams and hopes, of a human being.

Goh and Self-Esteem

Goh displays a lot of symptoms of low self-esteem. It probably started at a young age, both from his parents neglect and his difficulty with making friends. He puts on a confident front, but for anyone paying attention it's easy to see through it, especially when he blushes so easily.

As a way to protect himself from feeling worthless, he tends to give up easily and avoid doing anything he doesn't feel good enough at. He even says, "If you can't do something, give it up, right?" And he doesn't start to change that way of thinking until he sees how it's affecting his relationship with Scorbunny.

He doesn't speak up when he's upset or share how he’s feeling, and considers others to be more important than himself. Like when he prioritizes his parents happiness over his own, and tries to act like he's doing fine when he's not. The same thing happens with Raboot too, Goh thinks he's making it unhappy so he tries to leave it even though it makes him unhappy to do that.

When Ash notices the signs that Goh is upset, he starts to ask Goh when he thinks something is wrong and it gives Goh more opportunities to express how he's feeling.

Goh feels like he has to be correct all the time to prove himself, which can be tiring for him to keep up with. But he relies on his knowledge to show his worth and to get praise and attention.

He also gets really upset and stubborn when people don’t agree with him, resisting their viewpoint until something big enough happens to change his mind. Like how he's very antagonistic towards Gary, until he starts to realize and accept that Gary's criticism can help him improve.

And Goh is also very self-critical. He's a perfectionist that sets high standards that he feels he has to meet, otherwise he's not good enough. Mew has to be his first Pokemon, he has to do everything on his own, and he has to excel at everything he does. Even towards the end of the series, he's still struggling to balance his lofty goals with realistic expectations for himself. During the Project Mew arc, he felt like he should have been able to handle the situation without relying on his Pokemon.

Part of the reason Ash has helped him so much is because of all the encouragement and constant reminders that he's there to support him. Goh wasn’t really used to being praised like that before, so it helped him start developing a better mindset. And just having a close friend, that actually stuck around and pays attention to his feelings, probably helped boost his self-esteem too.

Goh is still working through his self-esteem issues at the end of the series. He even fell back into some of his old habits after Ash said he was leaving on a journey, but he has made a huge amount of progress and has lots of friends to support him now.

ik it's been pointed a ton that ash is way more physically affectionate with goh in journeys and he goes back to visit people a lot more often than he did compared to previous series which i think is such a nice development after sun and moon.. like ok i rewatched the final s/m episodes so many times and cried but the little details of ash going quiet when mao asks lilie if she will come back after finding her father, and kaki pointing out that ash's journey won't just be for the vacation.. when professor burnet and kukui hug him goodbye ash doesn't lift his arms to hug them back and idk. i just love these little details. i think alola taught him more to be more openly affectionate with his loved ones

They proceeded to get away with it and sweep the competition but then Ash felt bad and decided to give the prize money and title to the second place winners. They quickly ran away with no one knowing who they really were.
