If you want 'the lady' to respect you as a manly man, you'll want to watch it alone, just in case.

Let us know what you think of Graves of the Fireflies? It just about killed me. One of the most wonderful and horrible films I never want to see again, and probably the single best anti-war testaments I've ever seen.
