Grave of the Fireflies


Wow, I loved this movie! I didn't cry while we were watching it in class, but I did about 3 hours after. The images and characters stayed in my head...I saw them everywhere. It reminds me of when I watched the 4 hour long Bollywood movie "Kal Ho Naa Ho" I cried for days. The story was intense...life changing.
A friend and I drove around downtown after class. The streetlights were fireflies. All children were Setsuko. Candy in the gas station became a luxury. And I wanted a rice ball.
I want to make Setsuko smile.
