Apologies for the confusion.

I guess Spiegelman gets the last laugh. Good for him!

UFA even made quite a few well known comedy films during the Third Reich era with probably "Munchausen" being the best known.

I would disagree . . . 13 years old is still too young.

Plenty of time to teach (young) adults about the world's ugliness; no need to wallow in it as children.

I knew of all kinds of nasty, horrible and grotesque things that humans were capable of well before 13. (I've been shooting people out of the sky in flight simulators since I was 8, and mowing down Nazis in Wold3d before that)

I think reality began to dawn upon me when I was swallowed by a dragon in Atari 2600 "Adventure." Watching my square body twitch helplessly inside the green lizard beast's belly was unsettling to my eight year old mind. A year before that when I was seven I had the unfortunate self-induced experience of watching "The Shining" on television.

Heh, my dad let me watch several movies that were quite inappropriate for my age and "The Shining" was one of those. I had trouble sleeping alone in my room for a few days after I saw it.

I was a little older when I saw The Shining, however it was still a long time before I felt comfortable writing a novel alone in an isolated hotel.

On a related note, it was long believed/assumed that the pages you see in the film with that famous line repeated continuously were simply photocopies of the original sheet of paper but nope! In classic Stanley Kubrick perfectionist fashion, he actually had someone manually type all of those sheets of paper.
