Bridge To Teribithia

[JustJon]

Tonight, I was doing some web work and saw Bridge to Teribithia was on cable, so I figured I'd throw it on and have a cute kids' fantasy movie going while I did work. Holy crap was I wrong about this movie.

While I thought it was really good, at a certain point in this movie, it is really hard to watch, to the point where I had to stop working to watch it to the end. And no matter how much I liked it, I don't think I could ever watch it again.

Anyone else seen this movie? What did you guys think?

I read the summary of it, and I agree. It's not something I could bring myself to watch.

Yea, i watched this movie a while back.. The point where you talked about was pretty f'n hard to watch.. I know you are supposed to teach kids that those things happen but, i don't know if they are ready.. It just came out of nowhere too, no warning signs.

really funny you said this I just watched it as well, I thought it was crap, but my chick was crying her eyes out.

P.S.: I don't wanna ruin anything for people who haven't seen it. But it was his fault.

After reading the summary, I realized that we read the book in school too - although I think it was first or second grade for me. I didn't recognize the name, but I sure as hell remember the story.

The twist completely threw me - I remember being really depressed about it. I think everybody was. I remember spending the rest of the school day talking about it.

Weird how vivid the memory is.

[DarkHippie]

The book so depressing, i couldnt even watch the movie

Absolutely, what a douchebag he was.

[SatCam]

You can blame it on him, but honestly, it was nobody's fault. A girl is dead here. It's too late to place balme

[Kevin]

Shush spoiler McSpoilerton!

And was the douche's fault.

Sheepy was watching that movie while on Paltalk and he was saying "I hope nothing bad happens to those kids". I assumed that he was kidding and that he read the book as a kid and knew how it ended like everybody else (I guess it was just my generation that read it). Needless to say, it was like a gutshot when he got to the bad part. We were all sad for Sheepy.

Jesus, that sounds creepy as fuck. Why were you all watching him watching a movie?

PalTalk is odd like that.

[WampusCrandle]

i read the book and just remember how sad i felt. more recently i saw it, and just remember that she had died in the river, but jesus, i didnt think it would be so heart wrenching. and, to be honest, it reminded me of a friend that killed himself not too long ago, actually, about 3 years today, and i just started crying at the end, one of the few movies to make me cry. ugh, such sad movie

Good point...

[JustJon]

I was completely unfamiliar to with the book, like Sheepy, so it was just fucking painful and out of nowhere when it happened

[Ay Kay Forty2]

When I saw it, I know something bad was going to happen but when it did, I was literally holding back tears. That was the second time I had to do that, the first was at the end of American History X. But, to quote Ronnie B, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

but, a really good movie.

I might have a snappy comeback if that wasn't EXACTLY what happened.

Nobody tell Jezo about Paltalk.

Saw this with my niece and I thought it was awful and she did too. It was sort of a half-assed Neverending Story meets that My Girl with worse acting and terrible special effects. My niece was hilarious, she laughed and asked me, how do you die in a creek when the water is so shallow and even if you should know how to swim by that age.....my niece is only 7.

Yeah really, otherwise him and Spandyman will gang up on Sheeps.

Yeah- rented this for my kids (5 and 7) this weekend. Thought it looked cute- like something they both would enjoy. Checked the rating- PG for some mild violence and bullying, so I thought they would be OK with it. I figured I would watch it with them and address any bullying when we saw it.

But, HOLY F did that come out of nowhere. WTF? How about a little head's up? Later, the five year old fires out "Dad, am I going to die?" and we've gotta have that talk. Thanks, Disney. I think I need to go back to previewing anything the kids watch.
