Movie Reviews of Bridge to Terabithia (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Our Dreams help us sort the past and plan for the future, but they are not reality
Summary: 5 Stars
It's important that you understand what type of movie this is, since it deals with several heart wrenching topics. I believe reviews should be written based on the genre of the movie; you may just hate crime movies, but don't give the Godfather a bad review because you don't like the genre. With that being said, Terabithia, while having fantasy and adventure elements is really a Drama and Tragedy. I agree, the trailers really do mislead you.
The fantasy scenes are the kids' way of dealing with their struggles at school and home. You may be hoping at the end that something magical will happen, but that is not what this movie is about. Its about loneliness, isolation, bullies, friendship, imagination, crushes, the yearning for close family relations, questions about what happens when you die, loss (deep loss), acceptance, hope and love. Every reaction is very human, which is the point the creators intended, but be prepared for it - if you're not in a soul searching mood, go ahead and pass on the movie. You have heard of the stages of grief, and they are most covered, but we are taken beyond acceptance. We end with a determination to prevent other loss and a renewed value for the relationships we still have.
Summary of Bridge to Terabithia (Widescreen Edition)
From Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media comes BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA the exhilarating and heartwarming fantasy-adventure about the power of imagination and the magic of friendship. Tired of being bullied at school and neglected at home Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke escape into the woods where Leslie opens Jess's mind to the amazing kingdom of Terabithia. It's a secret land where they reign supreme among the giants ogres and other fantastical creatures they create. As their imaginations soar and their friendship deepens they discover how to rule their own kingdom fight the forces of darkness and change their lives forever. Based on the Newbery Medal-winning book BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA will take you on a journey you'll never forget.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 786936715781 Manufacturer No: 05237200Based on Katherine Paterson's young-adult novel and filmed in picturesque New Zealand, Bridge to Terabithia has lessons to impart about empathy and self-expression, but the tone is never heavy-handed. Jesse (sleepy-eyed Josh Hutcherson, Zathura), a fifth-grade loner, lives in the country with his parents and four sisters, including pesky May Belle (Bailee Madison), who adores him. His strict father (Robert Patrick, The Terminator 2) works in a hardware store. Money is tight and classmates make fun of his hand-me-downs, so Jesse finds refuge in running and drawing. Everything changes when two writers and their daughter Leslie (wide-eyed AnnaSophia Robb, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) move in next door. Leslie is faster than all the boys, which initially puts Jesse off, but the two soon bond over their love of make-believe. In the forest, they find a creek that can only be crossed by rope. Leslie names the land on the other side Terabithia, where they imagine themselves rulers of the kingdom. Jesse and Leslie also connect with their unconventional music teacher, Ms. Edmonds (Zooey Deschanel, Elf), who encourages their creativity. Despite the tension at home, Jesse's personal life is finally coming together when the unthinkable happens. Will he revert to his anti-social ways or will he grow from the experience? Though aimed at all ages, pre-school students may find Terebithia's creatures frightening. For grade-school kids and up, however, there's much to savor in this smartly written, sensitively acted film. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
