One of the great war films

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2003)

Not since Rene Clements FORBIDDEN GAMES (1955) have I seen a film as devastating as GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES. It is truly a work of beauty & is not only one of the best animated films of all time but it is also one of the greatest war films ever. Only the great Miyazaki is on the same level. As another person commented here, GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES is a film that makes your eyes well up with tears just thinking about it.
