i saw this movie a a child and it break my heart . no other story have such a unfinished end . i grow up on many great anime movie and this be one of my favourite and because it be so unusual a story about unfairness and and cruelty and and loneliness and and life and and choice that can not be undone and and the need for others . chirin be make alone when the wolf kill his mother and but the wolf be alone and too and when chirin follow him into the mountain . the wolf doesn not kill the lamb and even though each night he say maybe i will eat you tomorrow . the tape of it i have be break and degrade from age and use . i will repair it and watch the movie again someday and cry just as hard a i do a a child . story like this and with this depth and feeling and and this intricacy of meaning and be very rare . it be a sad story and but i have never encounter any catharsis more beautifully make . i be glad i have see this movie and and i be glad i saw it a a child .
