Is Shawshank Rendemption appropriate for a 13 year old?!


Question: ??


Answers: ??

I saw it when I was thirteen. Obviously it depends on the kid in question, but while the movie contains mature themes, the depictions aren't overly gratuitous and the themes are there for artistic purposes, not shock value. Specific things that might cause parents concern: language, violence including prison beatings and a suicide, and implied gang rape, if I recall correctly.

When I put it like that it seems worse than it is. The movie has an ultimately uplifting message about the power of hope and the human will in the face of adversity and injustice that sticks more than the coarser elements. I'd exercise caution if the thirteen year old in question is very sensitive or, well, very insensitive; but for the majority of those that age it's fine.

yeah

No... Not unless you are showing him how to shank someone in the laundry room when he/she goes to prison.. Come on meow..

boy yes, girl no

It kind of depends on the maturity level of the 13 y/o. A very mature one, yes. Average maturity or less, no.

no

It's a very good movie but inappropriate for a 13 year old, in my opinion.

I really think it depends on the 13 year old. I wouldn't have had a problem with it if I had seen the movie when I was that age. I think my younger brother would have.

nobody knows for sure. but i do know its a kickass movie

No...

I would say "no"

depends on the kid, i saw it when i was 12

the film has some suggestive material and violence, including a jail rape scene that is implied but not shown. You should probably speak to the your nephew before you watch the film and explain that the film is going to have some disturbing elements. If he is mature enough to understand and think about what you say, then he's going to be able to watch the film. If he is excited about it however, or completely ignores what you tell him then he's not ready. Don't show your nephew this film unless you're sure he'll learn from it. Also, ask him what kinds of movies he usually watches.
