Grave of the Fireflies was such an amazing movie, but yes, profoundly saddening. A beautifully coloured picture, one that so easily seems to encapsulate both everything that’s best about human beings, whilst simultaneously also conveying everything that’s wrong with our species.
I’d love to watch it though again, but every time I’ve tried, I’ve not been able to because what kept me going through the first viewing, i.e. hope for both of them, just isn’t there anymoe because we all know how it will end for them both.
One of the most viscerally tragic movies I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them.
Black Mirror is great, but I can’t watch it because it makes me so sad. Same with rewatching Grave of the Fireflies.

Even on the first watch you find out that there’s no hope for them, but because that moment passes you delude yourself and forget about it
