Grave of the Fireflies

hackedx · 03-24-2008, 01:48 AM

probably the saddest Anime movie i have ever seen.

The story is about a brother and sister who struggle to survive in WWII era Japan after their mother is killed in an air raid and their father goes off to fight the war.

This is a must see!!!! This movie shows how big of an impact War had on everyone in Japan.

Sad AMV for a sad movie:

Watched it ages ago in class for drama. I felt like punching the guys aunt? Not sure since it was ages ago but she was a bitch to him and his sister.

While i understood why he took these actions I really think he should of swallowed his pride for his sister at least.

Ah... nostalgic.

I refuse to watch it simply because i know im gonna be depressed for like 3 days after watching it... and I don't like that.

I haven't watched it because I hate movies that play off the sympathy card in cheap settings like war.

They should make a sequel and show the effect the Japanese had on the other countries(China, Philippines, etc) they absolutely raped. THAT would be doubly depressing.

Yet, I guess Americans are the only people that are masochistic and enjoy shaming themselves.

I know Grave of the Fireflies is an anime, but has anyone seen Empire of the Sun? That's a good movie and I'm sure Grave of the Fireflies is a good movie. At least it's mentioned millions of times as a fulfilling, but sad movie.

Hail Hayao MiaZAKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
