For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

It's actually quite easy. Just focus on the victims rather than the killers. Come and see, Grave of the Fireflies, Catch-22, All quiet on the Western Front, …

I've only watched Grave of the fireflies once. Can't bring myself to watch it again.

Fun fact: that debuted as a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro.

Damn, that's... oof. yikes. I hope Totoro was the first movie in that double feature.

Although, note to self if I ever open a drive-in movie place....

All Dogs Go To Heaven and Pet Semetary.

Babe and Vasa De Noces.

Fantastic Mr Fox and Antichrist.

Wall-E and Irreversible is a stretch.

So maybe Pinball Wizard and The Accused.

Band of Brothers is also a good one. War movies are so often the "moment of heroism" or tragedy, but in reality, it's not a moment. It's months, years on end of always being on full alert, where one false step one time is enough to die.

Bump for Come and See. I believe it's a government sponsored Belarusian anti-war film and it's pure horror. Watch that if you believe all war films glorify war.

Also Gundam: War in the Pocket. Great miniseries that zooms way into a small conflict to really focus on how war effects everyone.
