Fantastic movie, but… damn. :sob: If people really want to be miserable, they should do a double bill with Come and See… But both are deeply effective anti-war films. Unlike so many films out of hollywood that try and fail.

I can elaborate on it.

“I am NEVER going to put myself through a movie like this again. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER AND YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!”

“And then there’s me. I’ve spent over thirteen years perfecting the art of sprouting gray hairs over every imaginable tragedy that could befall my children. Hey, life is scary. I don’t need to imagine THAT hard. What happens in Grave of the Fireflies horrifies every fiber of my maternal being.”

“I am NEVER going to put myself through a movie like this again
…
In point of fact, I didn’t put myself entirely through this one because, y’know, there are limits and I think I hit mine at about forty minutes.”

I can understand that. you really have to be prepared for this one.

I can just watch Totoro again.

This is a really good movie too:

The film was originally released as a double-feature with Totoro following it. There should be a legal requirement that Totoro is always available and queued up when Fireflies ends

Powerful. Poetic. Brutal at times, but not gratuitously so.

This sort of looks like a live-action Metalacalypse… with slightly less carnage?

Also… BABYMETAL!!!

In the first one, they poured a barrel of reindeer blood on a promoter.

Yorgos Lanthimos has outdone himself in terms of sheer weirdness (and that’s really saying a lot), but this triptych does not add up to the sum of its parts. I recommend watching Beau Is Afraid for your next weirdness fix instead.

Ah, so that’s why he stopped making his 4-minute videos!
