Dead Poets Society

I loved watching this movie, speaks about education to make free thinkers.
Loved Robin Williams acting like in "Good Will Hunting" as an inspiring teacher, but this movie is older... and Ethan Hawke like in "Gattaca", someone trying to Jump off the cliff... Gattaca is another of my fav, will write about it when I see it 17th time

Hotaru no Haka ( A grave of the fireflies)

A movie about how people fought the war of survival at home, while men fought in the war. "You have lost the war if you die."

Again its a beautiful movie on affection between brother and sister... I miss my sis so much when I see these kind of movies... Another one that highlights this relationship is "Children of Heaven", my favorite. The small girl, Setsuko acted brilliantly as the lil sister.
Watching this movie, one would never feel like wasting a morsel of food... hunger and the fight to survive sometimes kills the spirit even of best of us.

All I felt watching this movie was, war wasn't worth it, there should be no boundaries, politics, taxes... all that matters is hunger, survival and life. Why bother about concepts beyond... that server as amusements and to write horrid histories as wars and battles... of men's arrogance?
