The world can be dark sometimes, and sometimes we find that a great escape would be watching our favourite movies especially when we were kids or want to revisit the movies we saw as kids, however, sometimes those stories we saw might not always be all happy go lucky because sometimes, they can include darkness, things that do happen in this world, like death, genocide, divorce, struggling families or more.
