Goldfinger

From Russia With Love

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

You Only Live Twice

Dr. No

Thunderball

 

The first six movies, basically.

 

Nice.

 

I'm a huge fan of the series (movies and books), and I've been trying to put a top 5 together. So far, I've got it down to the following (in no particular order):

 

1. From Russia With Love

2. Goldfinger

3. The Spy Who Loved Me

4. GoldenEye

5. Skyfall

 

Though I will say On Her Majesty's Secret Service contains my favourite Bond theme/soundtrack.

I had a feeling there would be something like that here. Cheers for that!

 

For now, I'm going to pretend I didn't read that article and hope No Time To Die closes out the Craig era nicely.

The topic of what children should watch at each age is as interesting as it is deep and sinuous. My opinion is that nowadays children are overly protected, we make them idiots by taking them away from everything and then, when they are teenagers, throwing them suddenly into the world.

@Casiusco

 

This I whole heartily agree with. The parental technique of giving children a false reality to live in until they’re a certain age has proven to be dangerous & short sighted. It’s no wonder that society has trouble moving forward when we are improperly preparing the children of the future.

I agree, @Veum. we should treasure and shelter the innocence of our children to ensure a safe transition without traumas into the adult world. Life will shape them to some extent but the core from early years will remain. 

 

 

@Mad-martigan

 

You are right when you say the core from a child’s early life will remain in their adult life & this is why it’s important not to shelter children from the truths of the world. If children are not properly prepared to deal with all the traumas life will throw at them they will have a hard time navigating through their adult years.

 

Parents shouldn’t worry about ensuring a safe transition “without traumas” into the adult world. The focus should be on ensuring a safe transition where a child understands & knows how to deal with the traumas that may come their way. 
 

Trauma is a part of life that can’t be avoided, so there isn’t a reason to shelter children from it when they are at the stage in their life when they are the most receptive to learning. Once you become an adult it’s hard letting go of earlier programming & most of the programming humans get in their early years are lies.

Being a child I watched movies that no child watches today, and whose parents would be very criticized today. And that did not make me a worse person, or a psychopath. If so, I would be in a forum for psychopaths from the movies & goodies telling them my personal opinion on what children should see, while spending a lot of money on movies I already had.

 

 

Same here, as a kid I watched all kinds of crazy a$$ movies & my parents used the movies as teachable moments, because even though a lot of these movies had fantasy elements they still had moments where they mirrored real life.

PS: At what age can a child watch The Shining? Nightmare in Elm street? Love Actually with two people pretending to do light tests for a porn? And Clockwork Orange? And a western full of dead and blood? Was Nolan right saying childrens can appreciate "2001, A Space Odyssey" easier than we can? He show it to his son when he was six years old. At what age can you see "Wild at Heart?". A Star Is Born? Godfellas? Well, it's a complicated issue, and with many different points of view. Maybe another thread.

 

 

Children are tougher, & smarter, than what adults give them credit for. I say children can handle these movies pretty early on in age as long as an adult took real time out to properly explain situations without sugar. Kids are so receptive that if you give them enough examples they would understand “adult themes” just fine. Kids are only naive because adults train them to be that way.

PS: And is any of those options better or worse than a Disney Channel series where the only important thing in life is clothes, appearances, and getting likes? When the idea that is conveyed is that the most important thing about going on vacation is not having fun, but having something to upload to Instagram ... What is really harmful for children? 

 

Any option when it comes to the television can be dangerous for a child to consume without proper adult guidance.

Then when they come to us for advise we can go " No point WE tried telling you when you where that age "

Interesting that you quoted Nolan about children watching "2001, A space Odyssey" because that was one of the reasons we finally decided to name our youngest Nolan 😊. It also helped that in Gaelic it means "a descendant of a chariot fighter or champion", and one of my all time favorites movies is Ben-hur. That final race, what a culmination to the personal dynamics between Judah and Messala, homoerotic tensions included!

Probably I didnt express myself correctly. When I said "shelter" I wasnt thinking on building a bubble to keep them safe from the outer world, but more like an "atemporal dome" where family members can share, feed from and chanel that innocence into a more sympathegic and benevolent personality (for everyone) which the world is so much in need of. its like when you cover yourself with a blanket and pretend that you are in a cave where anything is possible and then you ask them how they would react towards challenging situations. Its amazing how their innocent minds find the most simple and yet effective solutions to matters that we adults complicate our existance with. Thats why I also said "treasure" it, because the goal shouldnt be to artificially preserve that innocence in them forever,  but rather transfering it to ourselves, to learn from it. If done properly, you can turn it into a weapon for both them and yourself. And that includes, as you said, not hidding the "real" and cruel world from them, but rather showing them how absurd it can be. 

About traumas, I meant the dangerous ones, which normally dont appear from disrupting the innocence, say watching a violent movie. It has to do more with parenting itself. So what I really had in mind was protecting them from our traumas, which often lead us to behave in ways that can, inadvertently, cause more traumas. In occasions, the first potentially dangerous place they are going to face is not the outerworld, but their nest.

To the question: which content is more adequate for kids? Honestly, only them can answer to that. In the same way that each kid has different pain threshold or stamina or frustration tolerance, they also have different sensitivity levels towards external estimulus. The same thing can be disturbing or just confusing or plain funny to different kids. Just like with adults! what a revelation, eh?? Obviously there are limits to what would be healthy for a very young brain to be expose to. 

When watching Toy story 4, my older run away everytime gabby gabby or Benson appear in screen ( in all fairness Benson is creepy as hell!!). So yes, breaking news: a kid (or anyone for that matter) wont watch anything is not ready or comfortable with. So the content (unless you force them to)  is actually choosen by them, and all you have to do is to validate their decisions (whenever reasonable, that is). I know for certain that Nolan will watch a zombie movie much sooner than my older, and thats fine. We have to follow their lead, and not the other way around.
