I'm watching this right now... I don't know if I can finish it. I'm crying halfway through as it is.
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

la blue girl is anime porn, hentai if you will
It's a Japanese animated film about a brother and his younger sister trying to survive after the bomb dropped in WWII.

It's an other type of 'jerker'.
It's about a Japanese teenager and his 4-year-old sister during the later years of WWII... both their parents die, they're left homeless, and end up wandering, looking for a place to live and food to eat. It's... one of the most honest movies I've ever seen; it contrasts the horrors of war and the innocence of a child...
Goddamn, I don't know how to describe it. There's a good review by Robert Ebert online.

Don't expect to do anything right afterwards... I don't know if I'll be able to do anything else for a few hours after this... it just makes you sit and think.
Ebert review
This is a great movie. I didn't cry in it (my soul is a stone) but it's one of the saddest films I've seen. One thing that is apparent is a lack of a score playing throughout the movie (unlike those "sweeping" one in Disney flicks). I think this heightens the realism and lets you think about the movie as it's playing

That's why it was so painful for me to watch, I think... there was no ambient emotionalism to keep you going, it was just... there.
I think I saw Grave of the Fireflies when I was little. Don't remember much aobut it though. My friend has it on dvd..and i fully intend on borrowing it from him so I can see it again.
So it's sad, you say? Good...now I can have an excuse for crying.

Nope...but after reading this thread I'm going to have to track down a copy. I'm sure Blockbuster isn't going to have it. I'll have to check some of the more eclectic places here in town.
Meh, it was alright. It was sad, but I wasn't anywhere near crying.
Maybe because I like the deep evolving characters w/ massive drama anime.
