A child's view

It’s a very peculiar thing, watching a video that I know is going against my beliefs and views and not caring if the video is right or wrong, but just enjoying it.  When else would this be possible.  When life departs for me is a rare moment when we lay aside our beliefs to try and accept the ways of a kid and what he has come to believe.  Would I really question someone at such a small age who has such an innocent mind?  ‘When life departs’ makes me step back and just enjoy something special, kids trying to grasp the concept of death.  And I love the cartoon style of it to make it even more of this kid type thing were it would seem like the kids themselves are drawing these pictures of what death is in their heads.

But then again just because a child has an idea doesn’t mean that that idea isnt just as true as an adults idea of what death could be like.  I feel like when watching this movie I knew that I couldn’t change the way these kids viewed death, but if I could, I guess I would try to steer them in the right direction.  Of course its not an easy thing, but children eventually do need to be told the truth just like eventually they need to be told that Santa is not really.  

I enjoyed watching this film for what it was, a film trying to get in the unaltered minds of kids.  Though I must say I felt the need to help correct.
