This post reminded me of this incredibly moving anime, Grave of the Fireflies.

Farhad has another video here, and I'll quote what he said there:

Grave of the Fireflies (火垂るの墓, Hotaru no Haka?) is a 1988 anime movie written and directed by Isao Takahata for Studio Ghibli. It is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka, intended as a personal apology to the author's own sister. Some critics (most notably Roger Ebert) consider it to be one of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made. Animation historian Ernest Rister compares the film to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List and says, "it is the most profoundly human animated film I've ever seen."

Wandering properties of death
Arresting moons within our eyes and smiles
We did rest
Amongst the granite tombs to catch our breath

Worldly sounds of endless warring
Were for just a moment silent stars
Worldly boundaries of dying
Were for just a moment never ours
All was new
Just as the black horizons blue

Then along the bending path away
I smiled in knowing I'd be back one day

From YT: "Ellen Burstyn's much-lauded monologue from Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream. I've also included the reaction of Harry (Jared Leto) afterwards in the cab because it's entirely appropriate and just perfect."

I thought Burstyn's performance was incredible.
