Did you read any? They are killing those movies. And it's "Crimson Tide,"
not "The Crimson Tide" (unless it's some Alabama football documentary).
Here's part of the pin they stuck in Much Ado about Nothing:
Romantic Relationships:
2. During the first part of the play, why were Beatrice and Benedick always
saying unpleasant things to each other?
3. The witty banter of Beatrice and Benedick shows that they are both very
intelligent. Why were they unable to see that they cared for each other? Why
did Benedick say such stupid things about marriage? How could people as smart
as Beatrice and Benedick not realize their affection for each other and then
permit themselves to be brought together by a transparent deception?
4. The relationship of Hero and Claudio is so frail that it can be destroyed
by the deceptions arranged by Don John. What does this say about their
relationship?
5. Do you think that Hero and Claudio are mature enough to make rational
decisions about romance and marriage? At the beginning of the film, were
Benedick and Beatrice making rational decisions about romance and marriage?
6. How does this film show the cruelty of love? Give at least two examples.
How does this schoolification of perfectly good movies gag me? Let me count
the ways.
Nah. Let me not. <g>
Some of the comments were okay, but to inflict all that on a child who just
wants to watch a movie with his mom is horrible.
Last night we watched Forrest Gump--my husband, me, Marty and Holly. Holly
was making a castle with blocks at the same time, and we didn't draw her
attention to gross or sad parts. We identified famous people by name if the
narration hadn't done so, and we didn't make any speeches. We answered kids'
questions and commented to their comments, but there certainly wasn't a
test!!
I think a set of questions on each movie would turn kids against movies.

I liked this site and will refer to it as a list of movies to choose from when we are in the mood to see one. But I'll probably skip the questions and just watch the movie. Or ask my own questions if I think of any. ;-)
