GOOD NETFLIX MOVIES PG13 MOVIE
Only you know your kid and what they are afraid of, so see the movie first and then make the decision of whether or not to take him. I hate when people take their kids to movies and then complain about them being traumatized. I was a very sensitive child and easily traumatized (still am to a certain extent), and they knew that you really can't trust ratings. When I was younger, my parents ALWAYS watched first any movie they were thinking of showing to me. Don't do the story a disservice because you think you can make it look better. That's the sort of change I don't want to see here. That tangible closure–much needed since he didn't leave a body behind 16 years previously–got erased in the film for the sake of a cool special effect. In the book, Rowling mentions Voldemort's body lying dead on the floor. After so much build-up of tension in the scenes previous, I think audiences will need to know she is dead.Īnd to touch on a similar issue in another fantasy franchise, this was a problem in the last Harry Potter film.
That being said, one of my few gripes with the BBC adaptation is the fact that there's nothing real about the Queen's transformation OR her death.
I don't want something like the birth scene from Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein showing up at the end of Silver Chair. I don't think I would mind some elements of the books being adapted more literally (like Aslan wounding Aravis or the Queen of Underland's death) but I come back to the question of whether it serves the story. I've had opinions for years (many of which line up with what fantasia and Rilian mentioned), but now I have to adapt those to a real-life situation. However, I would still prefer a well-made PG-13 Narnia film to a badly made PG one:)Īs a new dad myself, I'm still getting a grasp on the questions of what and how much is too much.
GOOD NETFLIX MOVIES PG13 SERIES
Basically, I think that the films should do what Lewis did create a series that can be enjoyed by all generations.
There are already so many films that take a violent approach that I think Narnia should be different. If you'd seen the Narnians that were left behind in Miraz's castle all getting killed, it wouldn't have been nearly so moving as just seeing them standing at the gates before leaving them. In fact, I find that the scenes that affect me most in films are not the most violent ones, but the ones that are treated with the greatest respect. You can still make a film incredibly moving and sad, that affects both children and adults without making it gorily violent. I think that it's great to have at least one great fantasy series that isn't aimed for older children and adults. I know many kids who have been able to enjoy the Narnia films and yet can't watch things like The Lord for the Rings merely because of the film rating.
