What was the last movie you've seen?
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
^ Exactly. There's a reason it's called 'the cycle of abuse'.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
^True, but it doesn't mean one should accept or condone that behavior, rather just have an understanding of where it comes from (at least partly).
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
^ Agreed. But one must also remember that, to such people, their abusive behavior isn't considered abusive. In their minds it's completely normal. It's status-quo.
They've essentially been conditioned at a young age to believe that such behavior is, if not socially acceptable, than at least privately acceptable. Most don't even realize what they're doing until it's pointed out to them and even then they may resist change because the sentiments and associations are so foreign that they don't know how to deal with it, and can't deal with it, without the aid of a professionally trained third party.
It's just one more reason we need a better mental health system.

Also, if Jenny was a truly abusive person to Forrest, then she would keep him around and take advantage of him, yet she constantly pushes him away because she is personally ashamed of who she has become and what he would think of her.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Funny you guys mention that because I saw that and quite a few other movies when I went to goodwill earlier should've picked them up since they were .49 pretty sure that's better than they're going rate if anyone even really buys them now.
Finished Black Cauldron too...why in the world was this considered a kids movie? I don't know how as a little kid I didn't have nightmares about the horned king...still a great movie either way

I highly recommend watching, The Secret of Nimh, Watership Down, The Dark Crystal and The Neverending Story. That era of, "Children's Films," were spectacular, but would never be made in this day and age.darsparx wrote:

They made a Watership Down MOVIE?! That's one of my favorite books ever!BogusMeatFactory wrote:Watership Down
Final Fantasy IX is the best one
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I haven't watched Watership Down yet (soon though), greatly recommend Neverending Story, but I watched that back in the day so maybe nostalgia there (but I think it does stand its own).BogusMeatFactory wrote: I highly recommend watching, The Secret of Nimh, Watership Down, The Dark Crystal and The Neverending Story.

No nostalgia on these:
The Secret of Nimh is very good, but I watched Dark Crystal recently and I didn't really think it was that good. Worth a watch I guess. I liked the other Henson movie better, the Labyrinth.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Neverending Story as a kids fantasy movie is still good. The sequel is even worse than I remembered though.
