Awwww, I can see what you're saying (((Pamy))). Took me nine years just to go to the cemetary. I couldn't bear the thought of my Mum being there.

Any opinions on whether a 2.5 year old would be too scared by this movie or if it would be too sad for her? I don't want to read all the details of the movie and spoil it for me, but I also don't want to have to leave 1/2 way if it's too intense for her. She saw Brother Bear and the Clifford movie and did okay.

Dear Brenda You won't know unless you see it for yourself.

Brenda, I think I'd let the PG rating be my guide. For such a young child I think I would stick to the G rated movies.

Brenda..they never show any real cruelty to animals (I just watched it this PM). They imply a lot but swing the camera away when the implication is that it is happening. Yes, Daddy is killed early but he is attacking a man at the time so it can't be thought of as cruel. 2.5 , IMHO, is really young for a child to sit through a non animated movie but what do I know about kids? I don't have any. There was a young one in there today (maybe 4 or 5) and she seemed to do OK. I thought it was an excellent movie, BTW, with beautiful cinematography (filmed in Cambodia)

Thanks guys. Maybe we'll wait and rent it or wait and see if it comes to the dollar theater (so I won't feel cheated if we need to leave early).

Is this the new Annaud film? If so, I'm going to whenever the next showing is. "The Bear" is probably my favorite movie of all time.

The Bear was the first movie I saw by myself (come to think of it, it's the only film I've seen by myself - at a theater, that is). It was showing in my tiny college town's discount cinema but nobody else was interested in seeing it. I'm glad I went though - it was definitely a unique and moving experience and watching it alone in the empty theater really drew me into that world. I'm intrigued by Two Brothers' premise, think tigers and Guy Pearce are beautiful, and am attracted to the exotic locales. I can't decide if it seems more like Rudyard Kipling or Jack London (or is it neither?). But I can't bear (!) movies where animals are mistreated or are killed so I'm a little apprehensive about seeing this.

Calamity, I felt the same way as you before I went. But I really enjoyed it. They really don't "show" mistreatment; it is sometimes alluded to but you don't really see it and, of course, the happy ending always helps!
