NBR: Movie "Up"

sinisterkat01 · June 2009

Not sure if this is worth a post, but did anyone see the new animated movie "Up" yet? It is supposed to be a kids movie, but DH and I saw a late showing last night for fun. I don't think that this is really a spoiler (so don't get mad) but they actually broach the subject of miscarriage during the introduction. Granted, this is not the basis of the movie, but I thought that was pretty interesting. It is something that almost seems taboo in this culture, but Disney actually put in the first 5 minutes of a movie. Who would have thought?

Now if Disney can do it, why can't TheBump cover the subject? (In response to someflower's post)

Also a warning, this movie will make you cry (given the subject matter in the first 5 minutes) so I almost had to leave the theatre and go to the bathroom for a few minutes. I was a wreck.

i really wanted to watch that movie, but someone posted a few weeks ago about the whole m/c thing, so i have stayed away. but i do agree, in a way it's almost admirable of disney to bring such a subject matter to light. maybe i'll see it... some day...

Well, it's worth watching, but maybe at a less emotional time. And maybe at home when you have a box of tissues . . .

I agree I like how they are bringing the subject out in the open.

I haven't seen it yet, going to give it a few more months until the m/c isn't so fresh in my mind.

I just saw it yesterday. I loved it - and cried through the entire movie. I hadn't heard about the m/c piece, and so was caught off-guard. But in many ways it was just what I needed.
