I wanted to do Grave Of The Fireflies in second person because it was such an important film to me, and writing in first person would be harder.

我想以第二人称来作《再见萤火虫》因为它对于我来说是一部十分重要的影片，如果以第一人称来作的话可能还要难些。

But the choice of using hard images is necessary: like it was necessary for "Grave of the Fireflies" to tell the story about how life was in a bombarded city.

但是使用冷酷的画面是必要的：就像《萤火虫之墓》里要讲述在一个被轰炸的城市里的生活所必须的。
