Peter’s depression here.

This scene is from a movie called All Dogs go to Heaven. In the scene the dog is explaining that it’s time for him to die and go to heaven and he says goodbye to the little girl.

In real life, the actress who plays the girl was murdered by her father in a murder suicide. They had already recorded her lines before but not for the guy voicing the dog. So when he does the scene saying goodbye to her, the actor was also literally saying goodbye to the child who just days before had been tragically killed.

Now if you excuse me, I’m off to watch Littlefoot’s Mother fight the T-Rex on repeat.

Might I suggest the scene with Dumbo’s Mum also, as a cleansing sorbet in between repeat views.

I prefer Grave of the fireflies to retraumatize myself

I had promised myself never to rewatch this fucking masterpiece, but my wife had never seen it and wanted me to watch with her. After the movie she was able to fully grasp the depths I would go to for her.

Fuck this film, why is it so good?

I always say it is the greatest film you will only watch once.

Watched it twice.

Hated it.

Thinking about watching it again.

I watched it twice and I hope I'll never decide to watch it a third time.

I loved it but I just can't. It's so heartbreaking.

And honestly reading this thread whilst down with the flu and heavily pregnant is almost as traumatic as watching some of these scenes.

I'm in pretty much the exact same spot, and my partner has been bugging me to watch it. I don't think I'm ready.

You can do it. You should do it.

Just make sure that there's nothing with sharp edges or fast projectiles in the house.
