Adversity in Life
-
Ah, that one is called Princess Mononoke or Mononoke-hime. Yes, it is unsuitable for young children but teens can watch it and hopefully get the meaning behind it. It also has an environmental message as well. For younger kids, you can let them watch Nausicaa, Valley of the Wind for the environmental message. My DD loves it.
ADD: To "teach" adversity in young kids, can try "Kiki’s Delivery Service". It’s a bout a 12yo girl who’s a witch and part of her coming-of-age rite is to leave her family and find a town on her own to live in and earn a living using her talent, which she has to yet to discover. She learns to be strong and independent through the obstacles she faces and makes friends along the way. -
Actually I think teens would love the violence in the show and the true meaning of that story might be too subtle for them to truly grasp.
When my brothers saw it, they were impressed with the blood and multilation of the body parts.
My compilation didn’t have the full archive of Miyazaki Hayao’s works. Difficult to find them in the market. -
Maybe boys and girls see different things. About the teenage boys being impressed by the violence and gore, I really am not surprised.
(I base this observation on my experience working with teens for a number of years.)
