Utterly brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2005)

I had no clue what kind of movie this was before I saw it. It completely threw me back and chocked me. It's been a very long time since I last got this emotional about a movie. I think it builds up the characters very well. You really grow attached to the kids and therefore their destiny is even harder to accept. The voices are very good as well. Setsuko has one of the best voices ever. After quickly hearing the English dubbed voices I'm extremely glad I had the Japanese sound on (eventhough I always do).
To sum this up... Watch the movie alone and you'll be in for a very very shocking yet lovely experience.
