I watched Bambi the other night with my almost 3-year old. I've seen it before but it's been many, MANY years. When they came to the part where Bambi and his mother are being chased by the hunter and you hear a shot and know that Bambi's mother's been killed, I braced myself for the image of Bambi's bloody, twisted mother lying on the ground. And then I realized that Bambi was made 60 years ago before they showed blood and twisted dead bodies on the screen, and that an offscreen gunshot was about as violent as it got in the movies back then.<br/><br/>In short, I think you probably thought those things about dead bodies because we just hear and see it all the time now. Kinda sad. <br/><br/>Found you through Devilish Southern Belle, by the way. Ha! I watched Bambi the other night with my almost 3-year old. I’ve seen it before but it’s been many, MANY years.
