A wonderfully heart-wrenching love story for tweens, teens, and even adults who fondly remember when a friendship could be ignited by a gesture as simple as offering a stick of Juicy Fruit.
This is Csupo's feature directorial debut, but as creator, producer, and writer of "Rugrats" and "The Wild Thornberrys," among several other series, he's had a long career in animation, and he handles the CGI setpieces masterfully.
Great movie just like the book. I have written some essays on it in school because I love it so much. Some people hate the ending but then they have never read the book. Beautiful film.
When you see the previews of this movie, it comes off at a "Narnia" type film. you would be FAR MISTAKEN too take it at that, and not see the movie. It is this ages "My Girl". if you loved that movie, you will certainly want to see this film.
It is heart warming, enchanting, and deals with real life, and death. and all of the joys, wonders and imagination that comes with growing up.
I had a friend, who REFUSED to see this film for a whole month. I finally dragged her to this movie, and she fully expected it to be Narnia, after the movie, she left crying and thanked me for taking her to see it.
It is hard to explain the movie, without giving up too much of the plot. but if you read the book you know what it is about. ( i went to the books store to get this book, and it is only about 120 pages. it was amazing to see such a movie done with so little that was originally written)
For a book to movie translation i give it a 10 out of 10.
As a movie alone, i give it a 8 out of 10. the only thing i didn't like about the movie is that the pace is a little slow, and some parts could have been extended in more detail.
[Csupo's] take on Bridge to Terabithia doesn't pander or misrepresent, but instead illustrates the power of open-mindedness in both its forms: creativity and acceptance.
Some literal-minded attempts at magical realism are redeemed by the film's emotional texture, winning chemistry between the tyke leads and scrupulous adherence to a childlike point of view.
Though the first-time director, Gabor Csupo, has achieved distinction as an animation artist, he lacks experience directing actors. The best adult performance in the film is that of Zooey Deschanel; she comes off -- again, agreeably -- as self-directed.
For those who hate the movie cause of a child dying at the end, are idiots and never read the book!! If Katherine (the author) had hated it because of an ending she wrote she either would be crazy( she liked it so she is actually a genius) or the movie would’ve never been released!! The whole point of the book was to comfort her son for the death of his girl friend, who got struck by lightning!!! The movie was a wonderful portrayal of the book, and All the cast were amazing!! For me it was Annasophia Robb especially, fell in love by the end of the movie!! Was the first movie my late grandfather took me and my little sister to and comforted me at the end while I was bawling my eyes out!! Gabor Scupo was really fantastic and the direction by him made me truly feel what was supposed to be felt!!! The whole movie is a 100% great movie and no critic should hate it, especially none film industry workers, because you can’t do better, don’t criticize those who can!! All in all,
Love a first site and getting a better understanding of a kid’s life the goods and the bads, especially since I was bullied my whole life and didn’t and still don’t really get along with my dad and grew up with 2 older and 1 younger sisters, I related a lot to Jess!!!
The end, don’t hate till you made a better version/ actually read the book and the background, be informed, not ignorant!! Thanks,
Erez Bailen, writer and actor and soon to be film maker
di awal-awal film ini cukup menarik, namun setelah film berlanjut banyak hal-hal yang cukup membingungkan, yang paling **** dunia khayalan terabithia yang tidak jelas asal usulnya, overall disamping hal yang membingunkan tadi para pemainnya berakting bagus dan visualnya keren teringat dengan trilogi LOTR
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
When I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
