Grave of Fireflies
I found this pic and changed the colors on it (art for the Grave of the Fireflies. I think those who watched the films by Studio Ghibli should know this title). It has been on my computer for a long time, left unfinished because I got upset every time I looked at it. I have watched this anti-war movie only once and will never watch it again. It absolutely broke my heart. Now I think of all the little kids now getting to know war and my heart breaks again. Kids who were hiding for the second day in the cold subway and sleeping in damp shelters. I would never have thought that in Europe, in the modern world of today, something like this could become reality again.
