Sometimes I think back and think about how movies and shows from back then would never fly today.
.
Like the hatchback of Notre Dame has a murder in the opening sequence where a priest runs down a woman and her baby and causes her death on the front steps.
.
Then the priest tries to throw the baby down a well because it's ugly. It's only his fear of God that prevents him from doing so.
.
He keeps the child sequestered for years, brainwashing him about how ugly he is to the point the kid befriends a bunch of stone gargoyles that eventually convince him to try and escape for a day. Which he does, only to be STRAPPED TO A WHEEL, and have rotten fruit thrown at him, until the sexy stripper-gypsy rescues him.
.
The priest develops such an unhealthy hard-on for the gypsy he becomes obsessed with her.
.
Big scene of her praying to God for help for her people because racism runs amok
The movie also contains:
-an on-screen (but audible) torture scene
-a scene where people are nearly burned alive in their homes (the man that rescues them is then shot and nearly dies as a traitor)
-a very public almost-execution (complete with catchy musical number)
-Esmeralda nearly being burned alive for refusing to fuck a priest
-the priest trying to murder quasimodo, only to fall into the flaming world below
-a hallucinogenic fire song that had to be censored because the fire-lady looked too naked
-Quasimodo busting into esmerelda's tent when she's undressing
.
And a dozen other things I'm sure I've forgotten. And, yes, I realize the antagonist wasn't actually a priest, but I don't remember what title he held, so just pretend I used the right word
You can’t totally blame Tommy he himself is just a baby. Technically a toddler. He only understands what baby/toddlers understand. We forget that though we hear him talk and figure some real adult emotional things out he still is just a baby.
He was an only child he didn’t I stand how this other baby can come in and just take over his parents.
Which honestly the parents did a real poor job of splitting their affection. They should of had Tommy be more part of meeting and getting to know Dill.
Many of you know I come from a family of 6 kids I am the only girl.
When my youngest brother was born I was in 1st grade. I don’t remember my mom as pregnant but I remember the day she called from the hospital to tell us she had a baby.
All my brothers and my Dad were sitting on my parents bed and my Dad was on the phone with my mom. He said to me mommy had a baby. You want to talk to mommy?
He than handed me the phone. I didn’t listen to anything she said all I did was say “If it isn’t a girl don’t bring it home.” Than I hung up the phone and walked out the room. My brothers and Dad laughed like crazy.
I found out later the nurses in the room heard what I said on the phone and they laughed as well. They were aware of how many brothers I have.
When my mom brought my brother home she told me sorry sweetie they wouldn’t let me leave him their.
I still don’t see why they didn’t just exchange him lmfao.
