One of the best war movies of all time.

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2003)

This movie though it is anime, makes more of a statement than any recent big budget, Hollywood, realistic (propaganda) war movies I've seen.
The films heart is so relevant to the present day happenings in our world. I do not have any personal experience in times of war but It is easy to see that the real victims are civilians at the mercy of their government. Grave of the Fireflies is beautiful, touching ,and a ground breaking animation that will also break your heart. You will love this film if your are not afraid to feel. In order to kill people you must first dehumanize them. This film highlights the humanity of its characters showing both their strengths and weaknesses during times of war. But it delivers the message in a pure, magical and innocent way.
