A 13 year old? I feel sorry for that kid. That's just negligent to show a 13 year old those movies.

You think there is too much talking and not enough action? True to a degree, but there is some good action scenes between all the dialog. And no nudity although some bad language.

Is this a joke? Those movies are brutal. Why would you want a 13 year old to have those ideas in their heads? I feel sorry for them.

Yes some scenes are uncomfortable as a family but I just accept it.

All the good stories are basically R anyway. They are really old enough.

Agree with this.

How about you actually try to be a parent instead of your kids' best buddy.

I bust my ass parenting but I have a different philosophy than you. I simply don’t believe in censorship. I saw many R rated movies as a preteen and I don’t see any problem with it. I do not believe violence in film makes children violent and I do not believe sex in film makes children into sluts

Violence in films may not make them violent but it will probably damage them.

Onward is on Disney Plus. It went basically straight to digital as the theaters are all closed. Good if you have a couple of boys.

Onward for TEEN boys? That movie barely held the interest of my preteens

I'm not sure you watched some of these closely to understand the story line and how these teach us something about ourselves and how to overcome adversity.

Inglorious Basterds shows how the oppressed can rise up and beat the evil Nazi Germans in WW2 with their cunning and creativity. And what great acting by Christopher Waltz which got him an Oscar.
Kill Bill is an uplifting story about a woman scorned who is the best (absolute best) at her profession and seeks to right the wrongs she suffered at the hands of those whom she thought were her friends.
In Resevoir Dogs the police who are down trodden are eventually victorious over the criminals once again showing crime does not pay.

To the PPs, to each his own. I also would have zero issue showing my 13 yo these movies. But we censor very little, almost nothing. If things are violent, sexual, etc. we talk about them. If I knew DC couldn't handle something -some sort of trigger or genre or whatever- we wouldn't watch it. But my DC absolutely could handle those movies.

They used to make movies with complicated story lines that were not violent, that were worth watching. Those movies use violence as the frame to drape a plot over. They disgust me.
