Monkeybone

After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.

If your children see this movie, help them to understand some of the images they have been subjected to. Children will likely need reassurances about dying, death, and illness. They may be frightened by the corpse that comes to life, and many of the other weird fantasy characters. Also, the depiction of a grade school boy being sexually aroused, and sexual comments between humans, will likely generate questions or concerns for young viewers.
