Movie review:
- GenerationofSwine: I’m the eldest son. Growing up, my parents didn’t believe in censorship, so I watched a lot of movies that might not be appropriate for my age. Most of the time I can honestly say they have no real effect on me…
- …but there were parts of the movie that traumatized me in the same way that Bambi and Old Yeller did.
- I just recently tried to rewatch it but had to turn it off because I remembered what was going to happen next. Poachers.
- I’m almost 40 and I can watch really scary movies where humans are harmed in the worst possible ways, but I still can’t get past Gorillas in the Mist.
- However, what I get to watch is always something I like. I firmly believe that (aside from the Alien movies) this is definitely one of Weaver’s best roles. That being said, if you can stand it and get bullied for you, it’s worth it.
