To be eaten or not to be eaten: that is the question!


To be eaten or not to be eaten: that is the question!

So I have been thinking a lot about the short film, Circuit Marine, (the one about the pirate captain's pets) and my first thought was it seemed a bit too tragic and sad to really be a children's film, I mean the parrot, fish, and cat all die and get eat by the crew!!
So I got to thinking, is that what parents really want to show their kids? Is that sort of film something we really think children should be seeing?
But then I asked myself the question; what happens to the child that has no idea what tragedy is? What happens once they grow up?
Everyone dies in this world and Life keeps going on, no matter what happens.
So why do we try to pretend that it doesn’t?
So why try to shelter children from that truth?
When child first see a tragic film, painting, or story, they might not quite understand the reasoning for the suffering, loss or pain they see, but I can guarantee that someday they’re going to find out about tragedy.
Cause no one can protect them from tragedy forever.
So why do we always try so hard not help children understand tragedy?
Instead we see artist making children movies and books that are boring and not full of knowledge, because they are either trying hard protect kids from the world or trying to make a quick million.
What I'm trying to say is that the short film we saw could be watched by children, and yes they might not understand all what’s going on, but one day they will understand the tragedy of it all.

Just think: We were children once, and all of us understood the tragedy in the short film.
