Another tangent on this subject

Just a few moments ago, youtube directed me to a long forgotten source of twistedness, emotional growth and childhood trauma. I used to watch this over and over on a VHS tape from FUJI (yes, I’m that kind of old), with the title on the label written in blue ink, all capital letters, slightly slanted. I would sit too close to the television and cry my eyes out through several parts of the movie. Was it the eerie musical score, the gloomy dialogue or the damp colors? Was it the nasty octopuses or the whale hunters of epitomised evil? Was it the existential mood, overhung by fear of being completely defenseless in an unforgiving and dangerous world? Was it the dancing walruses? Was it all of the above?
anyhow….this is defo not a kids film, cause it’s DAMAGING.
As are all the best kids films :p
Another piece of a childhood…
Still, the best movie I saw as a kid was Animal Farm and I believed for many, many years that the horse didn’t really die, ’cause mum and sis told me so.
George Orwell, another candidate for AMAZING! XD
