Grave of the Fireflies
- hinkley 4y agoGrave of the Fireflies needs a warning label. It's Schindler's List in a few important ways. 1) it's about WWII, 2) It's a gut punch, and 3) It's one of the greatest movies you only need to see once, and likely will only want to watch once. I've told the kids they can only watch that movie once they're old enough to drink.
- jker 4y agoI've heard this so much about _Grave of the Fireflies_ that I'm afraid to watch it - what if it doesn't affect me the way it does everyone else? Would that mean there's something wrong with me? Is it some kind of cinematic Voight-Kampff?

- hinkley 4y agoThe sad parts involve kids. If that doesn't phase you the CIA has some wonderful career opportunities they'd love to talk to you about.

- 2muchcoffeeman 4y agoWell, if you want Ghibli's best movie ... Grave of the Fireflies to my mind is easily one of the best movies ever made, let alone Ghili's best. I've seen it at least 3 times because I'm a glutton for punishment that way.
