I'm not a good person to ask about violence. As the thread has been reminded of late, I never raised kids. My only experience in the matter is my own childhood. I've always been a monster-movie fan. I had nightmares for months after seeing Them, the 50s version with the giant ants. I had to really beg my folks to keep letting me see them. And as the thread also knows, I'm a totally non-violent person. I'm the gal who posts about rescuing bugs from the pool. As a result, I'm not at all clear what the fuss is about re violence.

Having said that, it would seem that there would be a difference in that Braveheart depicts real violence and Freddy depicts fantasy. I don't know at what point kids can tell the difference. I would think that real violence would be more damaging. Bambi upset me a lot. Still bothers me to think about it.
