Yesterday, sitting on the couch, being sick, I got around to watching this movie I'd netflix'ed a little while back.
There are many movies that I've seen that I don not feel the need to ever see again. Pan's Labrinth. The Libertine.
Solid, good film making, but with stories that once consumed, leave a lingering, coppery taste.
I can add the anime "Grave of the Fireflies" to the mix.
Yes, it is a "cartoon". Anime, even, but with none of the fantasy that one usually associates with the genre.
It is the story of two children at the eve of WWII Japan, and the struggles they endure. It is a sad, haunting, and moving piece.
I would recommend it to adults, but this "cartoon" is NOT for children.
