Keep your mind wide open


Just finished watching Bridge To Terabithia. I really enjoyed it. It was a fantastic show. There's just something about fantasy shows that attract me. For example Narnia, Harry Potter. This movie is definitely going into my top 10. It wasn't a typical fantasy show tho. Unlike Harry Potter and Narnia, this show doesn't really have a magical world. It was a world made up by 2 kids. Here's what the movie about.......


Jesse Aarons is a boy from a poor family. They have to grow their own food and he has 2 older sisters and 2 younger sisters. Jesse's life is practically what you would call miserable. He feels his father loves his sisters more than him. He gets bullied in school. And he pretty much doesn't have any friends. Most of the time, Jesse would take out a blank book and start drawing. Now, he is a very talented artist with a great imagination.
Although, his talents aren't appreciated by his father or the kids at school.

Then, one day, a girl name Leslie Burke moved to their school. She also has a miserable life despite being rich. She too got bullied a lot in school and wasn't getting any attention from her parents when they are writing a book. Leslie is a talented writer. She too, like Jesse, has an amazing imagination. They soon befriended each other. One day, they found a river . Above this river, there was a tree with a rope tied to it. They played with the rope going back and forth the river.

Suddenly, Leslie thought that they both needed a place for themselves. A place where there are no bullies and no one but them knows where it is. They then use their imagination and ''make'' the land across the river into Terabithia. A land where they rule as King and Queen. A place where they can do what ever they want. A place that is inhabitant by Mystical creatures. They soon became fond of this made up place and come here everyday after school. As time goes by, Jesse finds out he is starting to fall in love as this is the 1st time either of them had a real friend.

I'm not going to spoil the rest so that all you guys would go watch it. And for those of you who have, i hope you agree with me on how great this movie is. After i watched it, i suddenly remembered that I'm in reality and had to come back to my own life. I wish i had a place to go to when things are down. Great movie! 15/10
