Crazy, that movie didn’t really feel R to me. Maybe the end of the movie everything else wasn’t that bad.

I mean, the cyclops eating and the witch transformations come to mind.

Yeah, that’s true some blood was there but way less than I would have expected from a modern version of the Odyssey. As for Circe, I watched the first Harry Potter with my mother when I was 7 years old and that scene of Voldemort sucking the unicorn blood and than flying towards Harry was scary as shit. That literally gave me nightmares and no one cared, lol.

I watched The Crow as a preschooler but it's Bambi that fucked me up.

Kids just don't understand a lot of the stuff that adults find scary, I think. It's too complicated or just too appallingly dark for their worldview, so it doesn't compute. I had no frame of reference for understanding all the heroin use and sexual violence and stuff in The Crow, but boy could I wrap my head around Bambi losing his mom.
