I must confess that I never used to watch animated films, mainly because I considered them as an exclusively children's genre, however, out of curiosity, after my nephew mentioned this film to me, I watched Midory, the girl of the Camellias, and of course I completely changed the perspective of my opinion, this movie is definitely not for children, it has a very strong background and difficult to watch even for a sexagenarian adult like me, in fact I would never want to see it again, and not because it is a bad movie, but because it is so raw that it left a bad taste in my mouth that I would not want to experience again.
Debo confesar que yo no solía ver películas de animación, sobre todo por considerarlas como un genero exclusivamente infantil, no obstante, por curiosidad, luego de que mi sobrino me mencionara esta cinta, vi Midory, la niña de las Camelias, y desde luego cambié por completo la perspectiva de mi opinión, definitivamente esta película no es para niños, tiene un trasfondo muy fuerte y difícil de ver incluso para un adulto sexagenario como yo, de hecho no me gustaría volver a verla jamás, y no porque sea una mala película, sino porque es tan cruda que me dejó un mal sabor de boca que no me gustaría experimentar nuevamente.
Summary/Resumen
Midori is a girl who lives with her mother, who is sick and because of this she has to work selling camellias in the street to support herself and her mother. A girl alone is very vulnerable, especially because of her innocence and lack of malice, suddenly a man arrives and buys all the camellias that the girl was selling, which made her happy, besides, he gave her his card and told her that she could look for him in case she needed his help. Upon returning home Modori realizes that her mother was dead and to top it off rats were devouring her body. The girl has no choice but to look for the man who offered her help, so, following the address written on the card she arrives at a freak circus where she starts working, but it is there where Midori's real ordeal begins because the poor girl is assaulted and harassed in different ways, even going as far as intimate abuse, something absolutely disgusting.
Midori es una niña que vive con su madre, la cual está enferma, debido a esto Midori tiene que trabajar vendiendo camelias en la calle para poder mantenerse a ella misma y a su madre. Una niña sola es muy vulnerable, sobre todo por su inocencia y falta de malicia. De pronto llega un hombre y compra todas las camelias que la niña vendía, lo cual hizo que ella se alegrara, además, le dio su tarjeta y le dijo que podía buscarlo en caso de necesitar su ayuda. Al regresar a casa Modori se da cuenta de que su madre estaba muerta y para colmo las ratas estaban devorando su cuerpo. La niña no tiene más remedio que buscar al hombre que le ofreció su ayuda, así que, siguiendo la dirección apuntada en la tarjeta llega a un circo de fenómenos en el cual comienza a trabajar, pero es allí donde comienza el verdadero calvario de Midori porque la pobre es agredida y vejada de diferentes maneras, llegando incluso hasta el abuso íntimo, algo absolutamente repugnante.

Opinión
The story of this film is already quite shocking and painful, but it is even more so in the visual section, as it is very graphic, they did not skimp on rudeness or unpleasant resources to represent the cruelty of some of the characters, and that is why I found it so unpleasant, that is, it is not that the film is bad, on the contrary, in general it is like a way of expressing what perhaps we all prefer to ignore, the suffering that many children have without parents, it's just that this kind of movies make me very uncomfortable, but mostly because of the fact of knowing that it is true, that many children are subjected to all kinds of abuse by unscrupulous people who have no heart. Every time the protagonist tried to be happy and forget the horrible things that had happened to her, someone made her live another horrible experience, there were even many scenes that I decided to skip and not watch, like the one where one of her coworkers kills all of Midory's puppies in a horrible way.
La historia de esta película ya es bastante impactante y dolorosa, pero lo es todavía más en el apartado visual, ya que es muy gráfica, no escatimaron en rudeza o recursos desagradables para representar la crueldad de algunos de los personajes, y es por eso que me pareció tan desagradable, es decir, no es que la película sea mala, al contrario, en general es como una forma de expresar lo que tal vez todos preferimos ignorar, el sufrimiento que tienen muchos niños sin padres, es solo que este tipo de películas me generan gran incomodidad, pero sobre todo por el hecho de saber que es cierto, que muchos niños son sometidos a todo tipo de maltrato por personas inescrupulosas que no tienen corazón. Cada vez que la protagonista intentaba ser feliz y olvidar las cosas horribles que le habían pasado, alguien le hacía vivir otra experiencia espantosa, incluso hubo muchas escenas que yo decidí saltar y no verlas, como esa donde una de sus compañeras de trabajo mata de forma horrible a todos los cachorros de Midory.
The animation is not the best, the characters look rather static most of the time and do not have much fluidity of movement, but as I am not a consumer of anime or animated films in general I ignore if maybe this is a type of genre or if it is due to the time in which the film was made, if I am not mistaken I think it was in the year 92, according to what my nephew told me.
La animación no es la mejor, los personajes s ven más bien estáticos la mayoría del tiempo y no tienen mucha fluidez de movimiento, pero como no soy consumidor del anime o de las películas animadas en general ignoro si tal vez este es un tipo de genero o si se debe a la época en la cual fue hecha la película, si no estoy equivocado creo que fue en el año 92, según lo que me comentó mi sobrino.
And anyway, that's all I can tell you about this film, I invite you to watch it if you want to make your own opinion, but it really is very difficult to watch, especially when you have children. Thank you very much for reading my review, see you next time.
Y en fin, eso es todo lo que puedo decirles acerca de este film, los invito a verlo si quieren sacar ustedes mismos su propia opinión, pero realmente es muy difícil de ver, sobre todo cuando se tiene hijos. Muchas gracias por leer mi reseña, nos vemos en una próxima oportunidad.

Thank you!
This anime has animation in keeping with the era, however, it could have been better. I think the story is quite distinctive, but it's not for everyone.
Thanks for sharing with the community. Hope to see it soon!
Yes, as I was reading, precisely because of its subject matter it didn't get much budget so they did what they could with what they had. You're right, this anime is not for everyone, I wouldn't watch it again.
Thanks to you for the opportunity.
Dios, recuerdo que solo vi algunas imágenes de esta película cuando Dross la mencioné y me impactó mucho, no es un film para todo el mundo, pero al mismo tiempo tampoco creo que sea un film para disfrutar (¿Quién que se precie de sano mentalmente lo haría?) sino para analizar y profundizar en una triste realidad que existe lamentablemente en todo el mundo. Excelente análisis.
It's clear that the movie had a big impact on you, and understandably so, as it deals with some very dark and difficult to digest themes. It's interesting how you mention that you didn't usually watch animations, and this one in particular seems to have changed your perspective. I'll add it to my list!
