graveyard of the fireflies.
i don't usually rewatch, but if the plane has it, i challenge myself. again. and again.
this time, i won't cry
.......but why? (à la Ryan Reynolds in "Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle") Some movies are one-and-done, and that is near the top of that list for me.
The M from S&M.
shouldn't that be what challenges do to you? like if it's not something uncomfortable to you then you aren't challenged enough?
now, I am also curious what makes that a one-and-done for you?
It's more that it challenged me so much that the gut-wrenching horror has been burned into my memory to the extent that I don't need to watch it ever again.
The reality was much worse. The movie was based on a short story written by "Seita" (Akiyuki Nosaka) as a fantasy, apologetic version of what actually happened, in that in the fantasy, he actually gave his starving sister some of his food, but in reality, he ate it himself:
There Will Be Blood is another one-and-done for me, for similar reasons; the human cost of human selfishness and greed. Also, the atonal, discordant soundtrack of TWBB is amazing, and fits the story perfectly, but is also really, really uncomfortable.
thanks for sharing!
that's probably a good reason i only watch it on planes.
i'll also check out twbb. maybe it's another cannes entry.
I have a similar relationship with "Dancer in the Dark" whenever I get around to it. I always cry...
i just read the plot. this reminds me of how we get our other senses boosted if we shut off our dominant sense(mostly eyesight).
it looks promising! i'll be sure to check it out in the weekend.
Seriously... Tissues and a blanket. Required.
If you need to talk after, we'll be here.
