GAAH AGE SHOCK
Jan. 27th, 2012 09:09 pmI just saw a Beauty and the Beast gif on the tumblr of someone who says she is 15 years old.
That means the film in question came out 5-6 years before she was born.
I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around that. Does it occupy the same kind of space in her head that, I dunno, Robin Hood (the Disney version) does for me? Not that one can't appreciate a film made before one was born, but -- Beauty and the Beast? I find myself wondering "how can she grok?" even though it's hardly a deep drama film for the ages! I wonder if this is how everyone older than me feels about films that were out when they were X years old but I was a mere bairn or not yet born...
