One of the saddest and most beautiful movies ever made

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2014)

When i sat down Hotaru no haka or grave of the fireflies, i expected a very emotional movie, but i never could imagine how emotional the movie was in fact.
I have watched a lot of movies that touched me, with both happiness and sadness. But its very rare a movie makes me feel the way, Hotaru no haka did. The fact that the movie was so well drawn and the way the soundtrack matched the emotions in the scenes, is a very rare sight in movies. Its probably the most emotional, touching movie i've ever seen, and in the end i couldn't hold back the tears.
this is in fact one of the best movies i've ever seen, but also one of the most sad and cruel stories i've ever watched.
