There really ought to be a word for the description of seeing a film twice - once when you are an adolescent, and then when you are an adult. Seriously.
Sexuality was especially difficult to deal with. Yes, I felt it, but I could never EVER admit it. And so movies (thank you CABLE) were my outlet for letting me know I was maybe normal.
I remember seeing "La Petite Sirene" in the early '80's and immediately identifying with the American heroine Laura, the ugly-duckling who actually goes after the mechanic who shows some interest in her.
FYI The sex scenes are very PG. And the ending is somewhat downbeat.
Still, this put me on the road to film as a major in college. so hey!
