O MAN! I just finished watching Grave of the Fireflies for the first time ever. It's such a powerful film. Really puts perspective on how weathly we really are. And it's SO sad. Be sure to have something funny to watch after seeing this or you'll become depressed. *goes off to put Zim Vol.3 on* it was strange, but I never cried until the credits, then I bawled. :waah!:

I used to own this at one point, and then sold it quickly because the show was just TOO pessimistic for my liking! Sure, we can watch all those war films like Pearl Harbour, but when you see something like this... well, you get to see what it is like from the other point of view....

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

Love is that feeling you get when a girl looks at you and it feels like your driving a car at high speeds and experience a sudden drop. You know what i mean? That sudden sinking feeling you get in your stomach? Yeah, that's love. Leave's you speechless everytime.

A devastating film, based on true-life events of the author. Shows the side of war we rarely see. A must-see masterpiece.

Yet, it is a powerful piece on the "human experience." I also place it in the "must see" category. It will make you think about your own life and about the way you treat others.

Studio Ghibli once packaged this movie with My Neighbor Totoro, I'm told. It's a good paring. Watch Grave for it's impact and message and then immediately watch Totoro to restore your hope and faith in humanity.

Yeah, I remember seeing that movie a while ago. That was such a sad movie, but it was really good though.

Life is not about us using God for our purposes, but about Him using us for His purposes.

Faith is not creating a false reality, but acknowledging God's promises for us.

The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you

Tenshi....I don't think the movie's supposed to be sunshine and happiness...

GotF is on my do not watch list because I'll be crying the whole time. :( And I don't mean tears, I mean the full out bawling that leads to a headache. And Asterlon does not like crying at movies. How do I know I'll end up ill? I looked at the movie's site and started crying just watching the trailers. :'(

Very emotional I see (nothing wrong with that though). I felt very sad for the characters in the film as I watched but amazingly I didn't cry (which is interesting because I can be a real crybaby). I have the movie subtitled on VHS but I want the collector's edition DVD. I've watched it more than once and I catch more little nuances each time. I can't wait to get the DVD and watch the extras.
