also i didn't finish boyhood. found that movie kind of boring tbh

edit-

this is probably the most emotionally intense film i've seen in a long time



i dunno if it would make anyone here cry but it is a subtitled 2 hour black n white film that never lost the attention of my ADD-riddled mind. i think that's really saying something

honestly i have very little exposure to east asian films/culture in general but i always knew one day i would take the time to delve into it. i have an online friend who is pretty well versed in their films and he gave me that recommendation as my intro. i was expecting to be somewhat bored tbh but it's really top notch stuff. since this one i've seen samurai rebellion and yojimbo (both buy the same guy as harakiri), which are also top notch films. yojimbo is apparently the movie sergio leone ripped off when he made a fistful of dollars. i liked that western flick but honestly yojimbo is way better/funnier and has a cooler protagonist imo.

Watch this - Grave of the Fireflies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Might even get an extreme emotional reaction from it too.

Is Yojimbo not Kurosawa? I've seen it, and it's great. Big Kurosawa fan.

honestly all these jap names confuse me. my understanding was that the same dude made all 3 films. if not then maybe i misunderstood something my friend told me. haven't been doing research or anything myself tbh. either way i liked the movies. but that name you mentioned, kurosawa, definitely sounds familiar.

edit- yea you're right, the harakiri and samurai rebellion are both by kobayashi, whereas yojimbo was by kurosawa. different film makers. my bad. come to think of it yojimbo did seem different from the other 2 as well. harakiri is my favorite movie of the 3, but sanjuro from yojimbo is my favorite character out of any of the samurai flicks so far.

I can't remember the last time a movie caused me to tear up but there are certain moments on certain albums that will kick in the waterworks if I listen to them in the right setting.

'Cartoon' makes it sound like Family Guy or something. It's animated yeah. It's superb though.

Watch it m8. It's not even that long.
