i have so much to say, tho words cant really describe how real and deep this story is - but music can and the soundtrack does it perfectly
One of the most beautiful, poignant, heartfelt and utterly devastating films ever made.
This will have you crying. You've been warned.
One of the saddest films Ive ever watched, had me in tears! Great story, great characters and good animation. Watch this movie!
one of the saddest and most sensitive films I've seen in my life, a masterpiece of anime
Sad. Jesus Christ! 8/10. Works strangely well opposite My Neighbor Totoro
Come for the sadness, stay for the depression. It's that sad. Watch this once and you will be changed person. It's that powerful.
Moving and terrifying, this movie doesn't pull any punches. One of Ghibli's best.
One of the darkest portrayals of war in cinema, and the effects it has on civilians
Beautifully animated, achingly sad story that demonstrates perfectly the loss of innocence as a casualty of war.
