Bridge to Terebithia : 4 of 5
2.18.2007 5:34 PM \| Link	I knew nothing about this movie before I went to see it, since I haven't read the book, but before I went I heard some interesting comments by the filmmakers about how Disney has mis-marketed the film. The trailer definitely makes it look like another Narnia-style story, but that couldn't be further from the truth! Actually, the film is about young friends who find the courage to overcome problems in real life by facing difficulties in their shared make-believe life. The plot deals with many difficult subjects, including family difficulties, school bullying, faith questions, and even a shocking tragedy that left me completely shocked (which of course, I can't actually mention here!). So, the fantasy portions of the movie are extremely brief, but they're fun and important to the rest of the story. The child actors do an absolutely incredible job - their performance is really amazing! I have a feeling Josh Hutcherson could grow up to be a real star (he definitely has a great emotional quality). The final scenes of the film really had the tears rolling for me, and afterwards my pal Melinda and I were at a loss for words to describe how we felt. Bridge to Terebithia is a beautiful, emotion-filled movie that celebrates the magic and difficulty of life. Labels: disney, movies
