RE: CineTV Contest: Raiders of the Lost Ark - How to Impress a 5-year-old

The Meaning of Life is a masterpiece, but I can see how it would go above the heads of young minds. Clearly, the exploding fat guy is hilarious, but to be traumatized by him you'd have to be ... a prissy girl, ewww! (Sorry, this childish outburst was the first thing that popped into my mind.)

Thinking about the movie, I can also see a serious kid asking their accompanying adult all sorts of complex philosophical questions, trying to understand the jokes while getting immersed in pondering deep concepts. Is that the kind of kid I would have been? Maybe, but there's no way of telling. The first time I saw this film I was 17.
