Top Ten Worst Movies to Show in a School Class Full of 8 Year Olds
This is the movie that crosses the line of adult oriented crass and gross out humor and ends up being simply disturbing. The humor in this is so deeply dark that I ended up feeling way worse than after Requiem for a Dream... we see the complete mental and physical breakdown of about all of the level, to an extent that I have not seen in any movie, comedy or serious. Actually, the fact that these are puppets and customes doesn't make this any less intense. In fact, it adds to the filthy and un-hygienic atmosphere.
Nevertheless... this is a masterpiece. No sarcasm here. The entire tone, the characters that you actually care for, the showbiz satire,...
Also, it includes the greatest and most catchy song about gay sex you'll ever hear. Really, this has become one of my favorite songs since then, musically.
Absolutely inappropriate for children definitely, but I think many people dismiss this merely as a piece of adult oriented comedy, but there's much more to it: it is actually about the early 70s youth who want to revolt no matter what, but only for the sake of revolting, and not because of serious politics or sociocritical thoughts and ideals. Fritz becomes part of several movements and countercultures throughout the film that sometimes contradict. Since this was made in the middle of the free love ideology of the hippies, it has much sex, but also satire, plot and interesting thoughts.
This thing is rated 6+ over here... should be 12+. The violence is disturbing to kids, in most cases you need to be a teenager to handle that.
My cousin is 8 and he saw clips of IT (2017) on YouTube
I don't know this movie, but it doesn't seem to be inappropriate for children.
I don't know this either, but also this looks perfectly suitable for children.
Watched the movies at age 8 or so, and most of my classmates did so as well. For children, this type of movie is more of an exciting thrill ride - enchanting, funny, yet a bit scary - than truly violent.
Adventure, fantasy and scifi are fine for most kids that age because they are already familiar with the formula and the context is entirely fictitious, and you have heroes and bad guys. Also they can smell a cheap jump scare from miles.
But please note that I come from Austria and that perhaps the children in other countries have different experiences (my generation grew up on anime series such as Pokémon, One Piece, Inuyasha, Case Closed,...)
(All of the JP movies are rated 12 over here)
It's terrible! Even though I use to love watching the whole entire franchise as a kid!
