I have watched that movie and that movie can stimulate sinful feelings especially in guys. I would do that with great caution. For girls its a good movie for a mother and daughter to watch then discuss but not for guys.

With all due respect I disagee, feelings in and of themselves are not sinful, God created us with them, it's whether or not we learn to control those feelings that is the issue. One of the fruits of the spirit is Self-Control, so learning to control one's reactions to their feelings would be part of that.

So while I agree it may stir a young boys feelings, it is the parents responsibility to help him learn to work through and control those feelings, which is why the conversations during and after such a movie are so vitally important.

it is no different than teaching a child to control their feelings of anger when they are hurting, the same principle applies. You do not want a child to react in their anger lashing out to injure someone any more than you want them to react to their sexual urges, where they may end up with a child, or with a disease.
