Hotaru no haka
Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea will be screened on 1 jan :)
But this time round i have been told that the story plot will be less of a fantasy and more light-hearted as compared to Hayao Miyazaki's 2nd last animated film
Spirited Away.
Haha regardless of what, expectations still runs high.
Woohoo cant wait.
Seok Wei is going crazy over animes again.
In my attempt to search for a nice anime to try to satisfy my insatiable craving (huh?), i came across this film Grave of the Fireflies on youtube out of a random chance.
"Grave of the Fireflies (火垂るの墓) is a 1988 animated film written and
directed by Isao Takahata. It is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical
novel of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the
author's own sister...
...Some critics consider it to be one of the most powerful
anti-war movies ever made."
Adapted from wiki
Cried until like siao after watching the film.
It is awesome in the way that the novelist tactfully used fireflies as a symbolism of death in the movie. Especially death of the children who died early in the war.
Must watch! highly recommended :)
