What if you were clicking away one night, breezing through streamed movie titles, searching for a film to watch. You see a trailer for one: looks good. Wife agrees. All is well until 40 minutes into the movie, when a group of kids is shown brutalizing a stray dog. This was definitely not in the description or the trailer! Wife insists the movie be rejected in favor of something else.
Well, there's 40 minutes you'll never get back. If only you had known in advance.
That's the premise of a website called, "Does the dog die." It lists every conceivable fear or "trigger" alphabetically, with descriptions of what is shown by movie title just a click away.
Not just violence against animals. Literally anything. Does a cowboy spit in a tavern scene? Does a parent yell at a child? Do passengers experience turbulence on an aircraft? Because the last thing you want in a movie is being surprised, right? ("Nobody told me I would hear the sound of a toilet flushing!")
Some of the categories:
Gross
Large Scale Violence
Medical : with a long list of sub-categories (injections, cancer, electrotherapy, etc)
Noxious
Pregnancy
Sex (of course, with another long list)
--let's say you find bondage objectionable. Click on that and you're taken to a list of movies.
Pulp Fiction? Definitely.
Oppenheimer? Nope no bondage. You're safe
I guess this site is akin to dining. The menu gives a description and maybe even a picture of an entre ... but doesn't mention every ingredient. Live a little. Walk on the wild side. Try a food item you've never had before, without an FDA listing of the percentages of every ingredient listed. You might find that you like goat cheese.
On the other hand, if you decided to watch Disney's Old Yeller for the first time, and do so with your young kids ....some might want a heads up.
