'It emotionally scarred me, and I hope history won't repeat itself with my kid.'
all explore the sadness and grief that comes with losing a loved one. I get it. It's important for a kid to learn about death and loss, especially since ignoring it won't prevent it from happening. So why, then, do I seem to have it out for? To be honest, the death-centric storyline hits a bit differently here because it's the death of a child, which is arguably one of the saddest things in the world to think about, regardless of how or why it happened.
It's also most likely what earned it a spot inWe don't even see Thomas J. die onscreen, so it's not about the moment being too graphic or violent or anything like that. It's more about the emotional impact it could have on someone before they're fully ready to handle it. I remember what struck me most while watching it was that Thomas J. was my age, and he died. I had seen adult-like figures die onscreen before, but someone like me who had barely had a chance to live? That struck me with a fear I'd never experienced before because I didn't even know that was something to be scared about.Of course, it's definitely worth noting every parent has the right to decide what they think their child should or shouldn't watch. That means I hold absolutely no judgment against anyone who does want their kid to see this film. Heck, I saw it at a young age, and I don't judge my parents one bit for letting me — even if it did make bees my sworn enemies for life. But with all the great options out there these days, I would simply prefer to postpone my own child watching it for as long as humanly possible.
