Disturbingly beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2019)

I do not get very emotionally invested in movies, neither do I leave a review after watching one. The fact that I am writing this itself speaks a lot. I haven't bawled so hard after losing my granny. The end was just tragically beautiful. Many scenes were tear jerkers but what got me completely invested was when Setsuko asks her brother holding the dead fireflies that why do good things have to die so soon. The metaphor was daunting and just could not be ignored.
I cried so much at 12am that I couldn't control myself.
Thank you for this brilliant masterpiece that I don't think I can dare to watch without crying. This has just become my favourite animated movie of all times.
Simply brilliant
