Grave of the fireflies

Looking for a light, nice, funny animation movie to watch with my wife, to relax a bit after a hard day, we came across to “Grave of Fireflies” of master Isao Takahata.

We wathced it until the end without a single blink of an eye and, even though it was very far from what we were expecting, we are thankful we decided to watch it.

In a historic period of unexpected wars, when most of world countries are planning to spend more money on weapons than on schools, this movie is the perspective on war from the most innocent people, the children.

I dont’ want to fool you with my own review, I just want to tell you that it will make you think, and it’s the reason why you should watch it too.
