Funny Innocent Sadist

Sorry I tagged this Innocent Sadist, but I can't help it. It's funny that Sadie doesn't want her brother to grow so she's crying. A tantrum of existential angst has become a viral hit this week, as five-year-old Sadie bemoans the passing of the years. “I don’t want him to grow up!” she screams about her younger brother, who sits smiling by her side. “And I don’t want to die when I’m a hundred!” she sobs, choking on her tears. This isn’t the first time the girl from Arizona has been emotional over ageing: her father Ryan Miller told Time : “She’s cried about not wanting to get older herself in the past, but this was the first time she was upset about her brother”. The clip ends with Sadie crying out “I want him to stay little!” before becoming hysterical over the relentless march of time. Reassuring words from ‘the boy who wouldn’t grow up’ in this clip from a 1924 silent film. “You just think lovely, wonderful thoughts and they lift you up in the air,” says Peter Pan, played by Betty Bronson, as he teaches the Darling children how to fly. Herbert Brenon’s Peter Pan was the first film adaptation of JM Barrie’s play, and stuck closely to the stage version. Most copies of the film were destroyed over the years, but in 1990 it was restored and given a new score.
