Thanks!

I'll make sure to watch it alone first before I let The Kid anywhere near it.

How does it compare to the first half-hour of "Saving Private Ryan"?

[ILL]

First half hour of "Saving Private Ryan" is probably the most painful 30 miniutes of film ever made. The Deer Hunter has a different form of pain, but there is some similarity in the young lives lost. Saving private Ryan almost gave me a coronary.

It's less gory by far than Private Ryan, but more disturbing in a way because of the nature of the violence. It's more gratuitous and psychologically based. I would let a 15 year old watch it, but probably no younger.
