Bridge to Terabithia
Through the beginning, the movie sets itself up nicely and we are introduced to some of the main characters, and we soon find the story revolving around a quiet boy who is really good at drawing. Then we meet the new girl in town who beats all the other boys in a footrace. Soon we find out that this girl, named Leslie, has quite the imagination, and has a knack for telling stories, which quickly has the two forming a friendship. At this point I was really impressed with the children in this film, especially the two leads. Their performances were wonderful, and at this point the story began to pick up nicely as the two characters began exploring the woods in their backyard, and started to dream up a fantastic kingdom they named Terabithia. I wouldn't have had any other person direct this film other than Gabor Csupo, he really knows how to capture the lively imagination of a child, and I became engrossed in this movie.
Like I said, I never read the book, and when the plot finally revealed the infamous "Terabithia" twist, I was shocked and heartbroken. It took every last bit of my strength to keep from bawling my eyes out right there in the theater. But still, I watched.
The movie kept right on going, never missing a beat. Although the past event was tremendously sad, there is a great lesson and a lovely ending with the boy and his sister, and the continuing magic of Terabithia. This movie will make you laugh, break your heart, and dare you to keep an open mind. I would definitely consider this a family classic, sort of along the lines of E.T., Stand By Me, and My Girl.
