I didn't see it coming.

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2015)

Grave of the fireflies was on my watch-list for ages but never got the chance to remove it from there. Even i have watched almost every classic of Japan anime, i have never watched nor read anything about this movie and i totally neglected it.
Somehow i always think this is one of those "high fantasy" "FEEL GOOD MOVIES". But I have never been so wrong in all my life. It didn't even give me a second to understand what is going on but striking me in the first scene with the quote "September 21, 1945... that was the night I died."
I must admit that this movie changed me in so many ways. At the end, with my eyes red and wet, i thought "i guess i ll never laugh again as it was before seeing this movie."
I believe instead of teaching glories and defeats of one's country to our children, we should let them know what really war brings to human's life. How it destroys lives and every thing we know that makes us human.
