'Grave of the Fireflies'


Several years back, I had no real issue with seeing children in film, books or whatever be injured or killed.

God, you write it and it sounds 100 times more callous. But it's how I felt. I could read a book about the Holocaust or watch a film and not get too caught up in it.

Now, I have a two-and-a-half-year-old and it makes me sick to my stomach to see harm done to a child. Sometimes I can't even watch it.

"Grave of the Fireflies" is tough. It's extremely sad and you're just hoping and waiting for the war to be over so they can get back to some normalcy and live. Then it falls apart and it haunts you for the rest of the week.
