When Life Departs Class Discussion Response

In response to the discussion in class today about the film "When Life Departs", I would have to say that I feel like this film is perfectly fine for children to watch. I think that it allows young viewers to form ideas of their own on how they think death works, and even though that may not be the Christian idea of death that many of us grew up learning in Sunday School, it is still important for them to hear others thoughts on how death works in order for them to decide what they believe to be the truth. Even if someone thinks that not showing their child this film will make these ideas that aren't considered to be Christian go away, they are wrong. Going to school, they will be presented with these ideas from their peers and the same questions that the movie causes children to ask, will eventually come up anyway. I think that if children are living in a Christian home, they should be able to watch this film and the parents should be comfortable with it, and be able to explain to their child what is the truth, and the fact that not everyone believes the same things.
