Actors, including Brad Pitt, were prepared to handle stunts involving animals and were given detailed instructions. Tarantino's sets are known for their no-phone policy and for bringing out the best in actors, pushing them to give their best performances.

This disconnection can make it difficult for survivors to fully communicate their experiences and seek help from loved ones who may also be disassociating. The fear of confronting the truth can lead to resistance to seeking help, and the consequences of speaking out can include losing relationships. It's essential to understand that healing is an ongoing journey and that everyone's experiences and reasons for disconnecting are unique. Survivors need support and understanding from those around them to begin the process of reconnecting with themselves and their inner child.
