Grave of the Fireflies

It is the greatest movie that I will never, ever, watch again.

It was originally screened with My Neighbor Totoro…..

Btw I agree. It’s an absolutely devastatingly beautiful movie.

Oh man. That's entire theatre loads of traumatized children. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

It was the 80s. I’m sure they were all told it wasn’t bad and to go outside.

I'm usually not a particularly emotional guy but damn that movie messed me up for a while.

That is a heavy movie.

Reminds me of the movie "Nobody knows", also from a real story, also Japanese.
Whatsoever, anything relating to kids' suffering is...it's hard.
