RE: Film Review: Shock (1977): Bava’s Last Film
hi dear @janenightshade, I really don't like horror movies, I don't find any taste in it! but one thing that I have always asked myself is: how do children act in these films? Do they remain traumatized for life?
congratulations for your work and for the curie vote ;-))
That's a good question. I know that in this case, this kid only appeared in two movies and then disappeared, so it's possible he didn't have a great experience :). Pamela Franklin (who played Flora in "The Innocents" as nine-year-old) said that she was not allowed to read the whole script, only her own lines.
Interesting! but it is really difficult to understand what they can think because they act so well !!
I think they often seem to act well as they're not really acting. Especially when they're not acting, which of course depends on the director and how much (s)he withholds from the (non)actor.
Let's be honest, most people turn into 'actors' when they grow up, hiding their feelings and all. Kids are naturally themselves :>)
