@@bensullivan5398 I would recommend that you watch it in its entirety first before you consider watching it with people of those ages, and as fantastic of a film it is, because it is a psychological drama, you may not even understand it with one or multiple viewings, as I myself have seen it at least a dozen times throughout my lifetime and I don't even think that I totally understand everything about it. I also don't want to sound like an authority of any sort, but it is more adult themed because of its nature and bleak storyline. When they are closer to being actual adults, and with some more life experience, then yes I would recommend it to them as well, and only because it is one of those must see films before you die. It is both beautiful, bright, and brilliant, but it can also be distasteful, dark, and depressing. Apart from the story, it is gorgeously shot and spooled together and the acting is top notch. I hope that you decide to give it a chance for yourself, and a loved one, or a friend, or family and friends, and that everyone enjoys it for what it is, and I think that the more viewers you have the better it will be for everyone to discuss its nature and meaning.
@@bensullivan5398 I first saw it in a movie theatre in 1977 at the age of 12 (I had already seen it on television). My sister who had just turned 8 was with me. We loved it.
Imagine how she would have looked if only her red hair 👩🦰 was twice, three, four, maybe five times longer in length from root to tip for the movie?????!!!!!
I wrote a poem called The Red Shoes recently (I also write poetry) it is currently in a slush pile somewhere. I was explaining the analogy of The Red Shoes to my child recently.
This is one movie that deserves to help get the Rebel Theatre in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, USA, re-opened, especially with bargain basement ticket prices listed in the following age groups: $.75 cents for regular adult admission, $.50 cents for high school students, $.25 cents for college students, $.10 cents for kids ages 12 and under, and $.05 cents for senior citizens (age 50 and older).
My oldest son has plans for a Biblical movie epic titled “FROM NATIVITY TO PENTECOST” in which Clint Eastwood is an aging Roman Centurion recalling how he witnessed events ranging from the slaughter of the innocents of Bethlehem to the final ascension into Heaven. While Eastwood is mostly narrating, the Roman Centurion witnessing the events will be portrayed by Peter Billingsley.
