rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | I watched the dubbed English version of this film. But the language doesn't really matter for the scene. I think it is one that would have bothered me at 8 years old. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Nothing scary about God showing us that death does not have the last word, life continues and love wins. It is a hope we all long for deep in our hearts and know is true. What might be scary for you is that we also know that justice prevails over evil willful ignorance and prejudice. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

There is no god showing you anything. And if there was, he certainly wouldn't be turning his son/himself into a zombie, that's just weird and terrifying. I doubt if you've really thought this through, you just accept it as fact because that's what you were taught as a child. As an adult, the thought of somebody coming back from the dead to 'save' us is a stupifyingly primitive and arcane notion. It's right up there with sticking pins in a doll likeness of your enemy, or gazing into a crystal ball to see the future. It's from a world of ignorance and superstition that died with the birth of science and rational thinking. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I'm reading the book right now, and just rewatched the movie this weekend. The movie seems a little dated now. The remake opens in April. Looks good: “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I'm not big on zombie movies either, but will make an exception for Dawn of the Dead. The Walking Dead does nothing for me. Watched the first few episodes and gave up out of boredom. My favorite genre in the science fiction/horror space are robots and aliens. I love the whole Alien franchise. Ex Machina was one of my favorite movies in of this decade.

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | as far as films watched as a child affecting me as an adult, I can remember being in the back seat of a car at a drive-in and having to turn away completely and hide my face. 'Tarantula' from 1955 [seen in maybe '59] definitely gave me a life-long fear of spiders, or at least intensified what I would have had A Tyrannosaurus Rex from some movie about that time scared the poop out of me too. I would think it was 'Land that Time Forgot' or 'Lost World' but no versions of those are dated right I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

For me it was Forbidden Planet in 1955 at the drive-in. This monster terrified me for 10 years in dreams. I still get uncomfortable when I see the movie. Robby scared the crap out of me too. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Isn't there a skinny dipping scene in Forbidden Planet? I must have seen that movie when I was about 12 and that scene is all I remember -- and that clunky robot. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I was 6 when I saw it, a far bigger impression was made on me. I had a friend who saw Wiz of Oz when he was 5 and had screaming nightmares about the witch for years. This is the scene you mean and of course she wasn't really nude. You can see the suit when she gets out of the water. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
