Review: Bridge to Terabithia
I saw this movie last night, and doing some background research (searching on Google) I learned that the movie is actually based on a book. This is one of the few movies that I’ve seen first, and then have been inspired to read the book. Most of the time, it is the other way around, I read the book and then watch the movie, or just watch the movie.
Anyway, back to the movie. It is a story about a boy and a girl, Jess and Leslie, who become friends because both are outcasts at school; Jess is the son of a poor farmer, and Leslie is the new kid in town. Both of them are very creative, more so than normal kids of that age, and they create their own kingdom, Terabithia to get away from the bullying and the everyday. The story is wonderful, and touching. While there are grand special effects, they don’t over power the basic idea of the movie, and works wonderfully with the story line.
This is a wonderful movie that more people should definitely watch when you get the time for it.
