Is it normal reading this story made me want to watch schindler's list?

So I remember reading a story about how Steven Spielberg told the little girl in the movie not watch it until she was 18. She watched it when she was 11 and said she felt traumatized. I was 16 at the time I read this and it made me curious about the movie. I'm 18 now and still haven't seen it, but admittedly I would've liked to have seen it at 11 to see if it would've had the same affect on me as this girl (I have a thing with age, it's a common theme of my questions on here).

    By strange coincidence, I was reading about that little girl on the internet just yesterday. It's a good movie.

      I just started watching it on Netflix today. I didn't finish it yet but it is good, though I'm sure if I watched it at 11 I probably wouldn't have been "traumatized" per say, but it's disturbing nonetheless.

        There's an obvious difference between someone watching it now at the age of 11 or any other age for that matter and a little girl who was nearly exterminated watching a representation of herself less than a decade later.

    My mom used to refer to The Deer Hunter as the, "shooting yourself in the head movie".

    My mother won't watch that movie, along with several others that she knows would upset or scare her.

    There were plenty of movies I was told not to watch when I was a kid. So I'd go rent them and watch them anyway:) like Last house on the Left and all the Faces of Death flicks. Yaaa.

      The faces of death. It brings back memories. Now we have the internet if we want to watch someone die.

    My father let me watch Poltergeist when I was eight. My brother had a clown that looked a lot like the one in the movie. And there was a big gnarled oak tree just outside his window. To this day I still have trouble sleeping with the closet door open. Also my father looked just like the guy in the old Amityville movie.
