Read some original unedited Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Hollywood wouldn’t dare accurately make those into movies, they make Saw movies look tame. And unlike Saw movies they were intended for kids. Violence has been a part of entertainment for as long as there’s been entertainment.

Oh please...
Look at the age of the kids taken to this violent movie by parents...look at the number of kids playing violent video games today...look at the number of kids watching violence on TV...
My guess is that you can’t compare to the fraction of kids who were reading Grimm’s Fairy Tales. I grew up in the 40’s and 50’s...I don’t remember reading much of Grimm’s fairy tales.
If I did...
We all had a mom and dad....and relatives close by who were loving. We went to church and were taught to fear God, or we would burn in hell....scary stuff, but it worked..lol...
We had prayer in school every single day...and a pledge of allegiance to the United Stated flag everyday... and we said, “one nation, under God...”
We were taught to respect people...even if we didn’t like them.
Obviously you are not from my generation! But good luck! Sad times.

Then you didn’t grow up when I did...
When my generation went to the movies, no ones throat was slashed...no blood was shown...no gorey scenes.
At the movies, we watched Abbott and Costello flee from a mummy...and we sat in theater seats scared as hell. That was it.
I do have to admit that there were cowboys and Indians, and cowboys and cowboys fighting each other, but it was always clear who was good and who was bad. The good people always won...
It made us aware that good and honest people win.
Not so in movies today.
