The Movie, Bridge-to-Terabithia?

Question

Wasn't it too sad? What was the saddest part for you?

Mine was: Top 4 In order of appearance in movie

The father was very mean to his son, was not emotionally supporting, only concerned about finances.

The abusive relationship of the bully and her dad.

The death of Leslie and the guilt that accompanied it.

The love that was lost between Leslie and the Boy, he knew it at the very end that she really liked him, but it was not enough because he had unrealistic fantasies about the music teacher.

Then he pushed his sister away.

The movie is pretty sad overall, the contrast of the children's lives. Poor vs. Rich. Leslie had a good family enviornment that was nurtured, and he had it harder. She was sunlight is his life, magic realized, and he loved it at her house, but was sad to go back home. Did you like the movie?

Answer 1

i saw the movie that was made in the 70s, right after the book came out. of course the acting was absolutely atrocious, but it was closer to the the book than the new movie is. very horrible and sad, unexpected, i almost cried in front of my reading class when i saw it! but, the book is well written and i appreciate that they focused more on the ties between the children instead of the actual fanstasy world that they created. if the focused more on the world, it would seem like any other average movie that all of the 6-year-olds fall for. but because of the ending, its more mature, and that makes the parents enjoy it more. that's just what i think!
