The reason I'm asking is because my husband wants to watch it tomorrow, so he borrowed it. My 11 year old daughter wants to see it and I tried to explain to him how it affected me.
My son and I went to see it when it was at the movies. We live right down the street from the theatre and it was a REALLY hot day out, so my son and I walked. I carried a leather jacket because it's cold in the theatre. I cried so much and was horrified to the point that I got sick. When we left I was shaking, my head was pounding, my eyes were nearly swelled shut from crying, my chest hurt and my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it inside my head, I was wearing a leather coat and still freezing and it was 80 outside. My son put his arm around me and asked me if I needed him to carry me or if I wanted him to call dad to come get us. He said I was as white as a sheet.
Do you know if anyone else has ever let a child watch it?
I don't know anyone who has let a child watch it.. I don't know that I would personally..but that's just me.. it's so intense.. and scary.. if it affected you and I that way, think of what it might do to a child...
My children watched it. It broke their little hearts...but then I explained to them how happy the ending really was.........not an eanding really but a beginning......
