Acting, Reality and Children in Movies
Something happened in this movie that I have seen happen in countless movies. It believe it is a cause for great concern. When children are too young to realize the actors are acting they become the recipients of emotional trauma caused by the anger, attack, arguments, or screeming perpetrated by the actors towards them or towards others in the cast. The directors should be ashamed to use the vulnerability of young children in sceens that cause them to become not only frightened but completely confused as to why they are being emotionally attacked as the two little boys were in this movie. There is no justification for this kind of abuse to little ones just to forward a plot. The poor mothering skills can be talked about or implied in the movie but to terrorize a child for the sake of a story is wrong and should not be allowed in movies. I will never know the full beauty of this movie because I refuse to watch any movie in which a child's emotional well-being is compromised to "entertain" adults.
