couldn't stop crying

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2006)

this is actually the first 10 out of 10 that i've ever given. it's unbelievable. i recommend watching it with someone who will hold you when you cry, a box of tissues, and chocolate. it makes you want to die in the end, it's so sad. it is set during world war II, in japan. these two kids, sato and setzuko (sp?) try to make it on their own. watching this movie gives you the feeling that everything that is happening, is happening to you. it's not pity sobbing, it's flat out sobbing. i absolutely do not recommend watching this alone. it's way too much to handle. at one point in the movie, i almost turned it off because it was THAT sad. when they released the movie, they had the viewing of this movie, and immediately after the viewing of "my neighbor totoro" because they didn't want to send people home so completely depressed. you might want to do that. just rent them both and watch this one first.
