Grave of the Fireflies, a Ghibli film. Stopped it a couple times. Ended up finishing it eventually, wish I never had.
This exists and is one of my favorite / most horrible shelf decorations
I've heard so much about it and never watched it. I love the Ghiblis though
It's not Miyazaki but it's a masterpiece nonetheless.
Yeah, that film crushed me.
Iโve never watched the movie. The synopsis alone crushed me. I couldnโt handle actually seeing it.
I watched it 20 years ago and still can't bring myself to watch it again.
I've never seen a Ghibli film. All I knew of them was they were renowned creators of anime movies.
So I started with My Neighbor Totoro. I had seen the character before. Cute movie. Not super deep but I enjoyed it. Next I wanted to see something a little more emotionally deep, so I looked up a list of their movies rated as such (without reading the description) and chose this next.
Jesus fuck that shit hits like a pallet of bricks. I just curled up on the couch and cried a bit after. That's rare/never for me.
Came here to mention this, you beat me to it.
Hands down the saddest movie I've ever seen
Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it.
I watched it with my girlfriend and the part about the bones in the tin candy container at the start of the movie flew over her head. She was hopeful that the girl might survive, I realized she missed the bones because she got a smidge hopeful when they went to see the doctor.
