A proposito di questo titolo

 Parents should share not only living books but great works of art with their children, and movies are no exception to either of these. Our goal is to help parents determine movies that are worth sharing with their children, and to help those parents impart the ability for their children to partake and discern media, whether it be print, audio, or visual (or any combination thereof), and to be able to take the good and leave the bad.© 2023 Water and Shade Media Arte Genitorialità e famiglie Relazioni

    Episode 0: Intro to the Living Movies Podcast
    Jan 7 2021
    Welcome to the Living Movies Podcast! We will be posting new shows starting January 12, and then every other week after that. Our aim is to review children's movies and the ideas they try to convey to our children to determine if these are movies we want to share with them or not. I hope you're able to join us as we dive into old and new movies and enjoy them again.

    Episode 11: Up
    Jun 8 2021
    This week we're reviewing Up, Pixar's tenth movie. It is a movie about a grumpy old man who wants to give one last gift to his wife but instead finds a grandson, a talking dog, and more adventure than he signed up for. While this movie is a love story, it's also a crazy adventure story, and somehow Pixar manages to blend those themes so seamlessly that it works really well, aside from sometimes feeling two separate movies, Even so, this move does have some really good ideas that it puts out there, and I think it would be a great one to share with children of any age, but especially the older ones who will be able to grapple with ideas like grief and regret a bit better than the youngest of viewers. Some of the ideas that this move puts forward are these: * Things are just things. The adventure we are on is more important than the things we have gathered over a lifetime of adventures. * It is the boring things that we remember and long for with the people we love. Ordinary life. * Promises need to be honored. Keep your word. * It would be really cool if dogs could talk. After watching this movie I think would be appropriate for most ages, though it still is a bit too much for my youngest. With that being said though, it really does seem to be geared to the older kids, and for them it would be a great one to share as it has so many jumping off points for great conversations. I realize I said that WALL•E might be the most timeless Pixar movie, but Up gives it a run for its money. If you haven't watched it yet, check it out.

    Episode 10: WALL•E
    May 18 2021
    This week we're reviewing WALL•E, Pixar's ninth movie. It is a movie about a janitor robot who just wants to find some love. He's cleaning up earth after the humans left on a giant spaceship, and he's been at it for the last 700 years or so. Then a ship lands and launches another robot, EVE, who has been sent to find signs of life, which she ends up doing. Well, WALL-E falls desparately in love with her, but she doesn't reciprocate, and the rest of the movie is him chasing her and doing what needs to be done. Hilarity ensues, many robot noises are made, and the humans find out what living is all about. While there aren't many speaking parts in this movie, there are great ideas that it portrays, and it is as visually stunning and enjoyable as any other movie I think I've ever watched. Some of the ideas that this move puts forward are these: * Living is about more than just existing, you must experience things. * Just because something is difficult doesn't make it bad. In fact, most things that are truly rewarding are difficult. * The digital world is not as good as the real world. Don't get lost in your devices! * Life cannot be all about seeking pleasure, it must also be about others (and taking care of the environment). After sharing this movie with my own children (after we recorded the episode though), I think it is quite appropriate for all ages, within reason and parental supervision of course, as its visual style makes it appealing and accessible for even the youngest viewers. Truly this might be Pixar's most timeless movie so far, and I think the story it tells and the ideas it imparts are as valuable as any other children's movie I've ever watched.
