Might seem surprising, but I felt that these movies are more similar than what meets the eye.
They both tell the story of a Japanese woman living before, during and after WW2 (of course, Millenium Actress also covers a time period exceeding the 1950s), the viewer practically witnessing them growing from childhood to adulthood and beyond. Taking the Japanese perspective of the war, both movies show that their culture is not characterised solely by atrocities and violence, unlike what is portrayed in many WW2-themed movies.
Deeply connected to rebirth: rebirth of a society, of a country and of the people themselves.
