Interesting article. Knew someone who watched “Grave of the Fireflies”, said they were too depressed to commit suicide afterwards.

I recommend John Barth's The Floating Opera. Poor guy (the protagonist) concludes life has no value, but is too nihilistic to commit suicide.

Grave of the Fireflies was one of the most troubling movies I’ve ever seen, mainly because I had no idea what to expect when I sat down to watch it. It certainly is not a pro war movie though. Nor is it a pro Imperial Japan movie.

The two great Japanese movies about the war are “Fires on the Plain” (1951) and “The Burmese Harp” (1956), both directed by Kon Ichikawa. Both are considered classics of Japanese cinema.
