BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA (2007) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@sealteamtwix]

ALL ABOARD THE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA TRAIN!!!! 🚂🚂

[@mrflickswatches]

Perfectly said ✔️

[@breezy3392]

Yeah, this and Watership Down

[@ajandrianjafymusic]

@@breezy3392 dude that movie messed me up as a kid

[@syedaman6999]

I watched this movie when I was 7 and NEVER watched it again…. The emotional trauma was too much to bare

[@ayeron6576]

fr watching this in class in 6th grade when we had a free day at the end of the semester , everyone just sobbing 😭

[@reynabaker6483]

Imagine watching this as a CHILD at school. The whole classroom was bawling

[@404-AnimationYT]

My 5th grade teacher once made us read (and watch) Bridge to terrabithia and Where the red fern grows and everyone was probably on the verge of shedding a tear. Memories.

[@mrbeybladetrading6618]

reading stone fox was the saddest thing ever

[@Thebeezzkneezz.]

My mom forced me to watch my girl. Why are child focused stories so gut wrenching?!?!

[@MySkybreaker]

@@Thebeezzkneezz. Because its to help you learn proper emotions and how to deal with them. Notice how when someone dies in a kids movie theres always a healing moment or lesson after?

[@PyroBear1776]

Probably the best lesson of any movie that’s out there in my opinion.

[@kylespevak6781]

This movie is the realist depiction of death. It's sudden, it's unfair, and then you have to sit with it for time until the grieving goes away

[@skylerjameson5682]

It was actually wrote after something similar happened to the authors child. Her child lost a friend suddenly. The family had been on vacation and lighting hit them.

[@Ariel-sb7vq]

This movie was simultaneously the coolest and most tramatizing kids movie ever. you know besides the already adult stars in this film, it also produced some amazing stars. at the time josh hutcherson was know as a child actor that exceled at these types of magical films (see: Zathura which came out 2 years prior) and this was the breakout of bailee madison (the girl who plays his little sister), not to mention annasophia rob playing leslie and what a powerhouse she grows into.

[@amber.ren_1995]

I love Zathura! One of my all time favorites! I watched it so many time growing up. Emotional too a bit as well sooo good ❤️❤️❤️ I love Josh Hutcherson. 😊

[@ajplays7241]

and also no one else notices Hannah Montana being on their screens lol

[@laurocoman]

Once Leslie is dead, there is no flashback, memory, she doesn't even show up in his imagination. It's done, you just saw her for the last time and didn't even know it.

[@hajinka98_]

There are fanmade flashbacks kinda like a alternative universe of this movie where Jess talks to Leslie but it's just edits from different movies with Josh and Annasophia

[@laurocoman]

@@hajinka98_ that's interesting, but I don't think that part of the film should go any other way. It's brutally realistic. Death is usually so slow you get to see the worst of a person's agony going for too long or so fast that nobody gets the chance of finishing anything regarding the deceased. One day she was the most enjoyable part of his life, the very next day she is gone forever. That is masterfully done.

[@breezy3392]

This movie really shows just how abrupt and how jarring losing someone can be 😢 how it may not hit you right away, but you can break down later 😭

[@skylerjameson5682]

The author wrote it after her child lost a friend out of the blue.

[@BigGator5]

"Just close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open." Fun Fact: At the end of shooting, AnnaSophia Robb fought incredibly hard to take home the shoes she wore throughout the film. Instead, she got two pairs of pants. Hot Take Fact: The emotional scene in Terabithia where Jess is picked up and cradled in his father's arms after imagining he is being chased by the Dark Master and falling took fourteen takes on a full day's shoot, broken in the middle by lunch. Full Circle Fact: Katherine Paterson wrote her novel in 1977 as a way of helping her eight-year-old son recover from a traumatic incident, where his best friend was struck by lightning and killed. Her son, David Paterson, grew up to become the film's producer. Make Believe Fact: Because shooting was not done in sequence, a "make believe" scale of 1 to 10 was used so Josh Hutcherson could gauge how much computer generated imagery Jess would be seeing. They rated Jess' view of Terabithia from the treetops as level 10. Similarly, the five stages of grief emphasized in the book (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) were used so Josh could appropriately focus his performances in the later scenes of the film.

[@jacksonconley5117]

I say Katherine Paterson deserves mother of the year.

[@bandlover341]

Her son co wrote the screen play

[@andisea4006]

Leslie death news not intended to make you cry or feel sad. But it intended to make you feel empty, hollow and depressed.

[@CheunBG1]

[@clunt2548]

Succeeded

[@BoxOKittens]

The scene with Jess crying to his dad and blaming himself always gets me crying ☹

[@ajandrianjafymusic]

This movie messed me up as a kid, I’d lost my mum a year before it came out. And Jess blaming himself for Leslie hit so hard, My dad took me and my brother to see it at the cinema I came out in tears to this day I can’t watch this movie without crying

[@mrflickswatches]

I feel you. Sorry about your mom.. it gets tough sometimes even 20 years later for me! And this movie was heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time🤍

[@ninakennedy4092]

This movie tore me up inside. I couldn’t stop crying after she died.

[@mrflickswatches]

Felt that 😭

[@agenttheater5]

24:02 The woman who wrote the book this movie is based on, she wrote it for her son after his best (and first) friend was struck by lightning and killed. She gave him the manuscript to read to ask him if it was ok to publish, he said yes but only if she dedicated it to his friend so she dedicated it to both of them. Her son was one of the writers for this movie.

[@kellylyncottrell6191]

That's so sad 😭😭😭

[@agenttheater5]

18:07 Book goes into a bit more detail - she confided in her friends about it and they told everyone else. Now no one will talk to her because by confiding in her friends she broke an unspoken but important rule the students hold dear, that if your parents are poor, dumb or mean you don't talk about it, so her friends dropped her because she 'snitched' on her dad. I guess here it's mostly just that now she's 'the girl who gets hit by her dad' so rather than being sympathetic to her they whisper about her behind her back and stare at her like she did something weird. Either way her friends didn't save her a seat.

[@SurferStarBabe]

Bridge to Therapytia, that's how I like to call it. One of all time favourite movies 😢

[@SoapyTurtles]

I never see anyone reacting to this and that needs to change, like immediately! Hopefully y'all will start a trend for it! To this day, it's still one of my favorite movies and makes me cry every time I watch it. The book is amazing as well! Unfortunately, semi-based on a true story, written by a mother whose son's friend died. ):

[@CodeeXD]

Imagine my surprise as a kid going into this thinking its gonna be like chronicles of Narnia

[@mrflickswatches]

Felt that 😭

[@theanimeniac1906]

As a kid, the reason I loved this movie was because of the visuals and the world. Now as an adult, there's another reason behind it. It shows that you should be able to use your imagination no matter how old you are. That it can truly take you to unusual and fun places. On top of that, you never know what that can do for your future. Especially the best parts about it. Also it teaches us that even if someone is gone, a part of them lives on through something (in this case, Terrabithia). Leslie and a lot of people around Jess taught him that, and now he's showing Maybelle that by showing her the world him and his best friend made together

[@dcemerald70]

When I watched this film as a kid it was sad to see Jess lose Leslie. As adults I not only can sympathize with him, but I actually know the feeling. While I understand it’s a bittersweet film for children, I can see it as film that can help a child when they go through the grief of losing a friend or a loved one. So thank you for this reaction.

[@mrflickswatches]

Indeed I understand it as well, losing my mom at a young age killed something inside of me I still have yet to get back, to put this in a kids movies is deep. But it’s life, it does happen I commend them for doing so! It was sad but made the movie very memorable 🙏🏼

[@nathaniellollis3868]

I'd never even heard of this movie. When the son was told that Leslie had died it BROKE MY HEART, man!!!!

[@xkeyairuh]

Ah, I remember watching this movie as a kid, having a huge crush on Josh Hutchinson lmao, and never experiencing a personal death of a loved one. I almost forgot about this movie despite having watched this soooo many times. But watching this reaction after almost a year of losing my abuelo, who was my father figure as well. This movie really hit me hard. Like I'm sat here sobbing, face wet, lol it wasn't until the slomo shot of her we see of her waving that I started getting teary-eyed remembering what was gonna happen. Wonderful reaction.

[@mrflickswatches]

Rest easy to your Abuelo ! 🙏🏼🤍 I’m too familiar with loss and it never gets easy, we just grow with it, and yes this movie did me dirty lol Did not expect to get emotional watching it

[@ottoswanson6664]

This movie brings me back to 4th Grade. I fell in love with Leslie, then her passing hit me hard

[@Isabella-tu9fb]

That's bad of people to tell that teacher not to cry and just to forget her husband. Its okay to cry and you should never forget

[@agenttheater5]

I think the problem is that the dad doesn't know how to be a father to teenagers, and that while he can keep his distance to a degree with his teenage daughters he knows it's expected that he be there for his son when he becomes a teenager, and because he doesn't know how to do that he tries to distance himself emotionally from Jesse and focuses all his attention and focus on May Belle because he finds it easier.

[@Isabella-tu9fb]

Yeah Leslie's parents were probably hurting more cause no parent wants their kid to die before they do. Its supposed to be the other way around

[@ImMyOwnOreilly]

Thank you for reacting to this movie ❤️ This is my favorite movie from childhood and defined my whole adolescence (I dressed like Leslie, cut my hair short, didn’t care what other people thought). I still hold this movie very close to my heart. When I went into the movie theatre as a child, I knew she would die because I read the book. Every single time I watch this movie I drop tears (even during your reaction), it still makes me feel EVERY emotion. One of my friends and I from grade school made our own Terabithia in her parent's basement (giant paper troll, fake trees), it was magic. Thank you for watching this your channel is great! Found you from the Harry Potter reactions

[@mrflickswatches]

That’s so dope 🤍🙏🏼 thanks for watching ! And yes this movie was amazing. Definitely pulled on my heart more than I thought it would

[@samanthasummerfield1762]

The song at 9:24 you asked about is Hayden Penettiere

[@jessea4438]

I was too young to fully understand loss when I first saw this movie (I was about 6). I was basically just confused as to why Leslie went away, and I didn't believe Jack either when he said that she died. I basically spent the rest of the movie waiting for Leslie to pop up out of nowhere, only for that to never happen. I was basically stuck in denial well after I finished the movie. When I was a little older, I rewatched the movie again. I don't know if I was expecting a different outcome or what, but it finally clicked with me, and it left me feeling even more depressed the second time, but at the same time, it felt like relief. I had never gotten closure from the first time I saw it, so I did end up feeling somewhat better. For 3 years, I tried to convince myself that Leslie was still alive, but after I was able to accept that she wasn't, it was like weight lifted off of my shoulders.

[@K-J-A]

I totally understand not shedding tears but still feeling the feelings. When I watched this movie as a kid I was so broken that I cried like a newborn for a long time. But as an adult, I watched The Grave of Fireflies, the film that I consider the saddest of my life so far and I didn't shed a single tear... But I can't describe in words how this second film destroyed me internally... The pain in the chest that I felt and the emptiness... ( I even made myself a promise never to recommend this movie to anyone..) Anyway, I believe that many experiences in life teach us to deal with emotions in different ways and that is why I will never judge the way someone receives something just by the amount of water on their face. 🍷 All the best to you two and thank you for sharing your experience with this fantastic movie with us!

[@mrflickswatches]

Appreciate This a lot !

[@sathvamp1]

I totally understand that too! Emotions are definitely interesting on an individual (AND SITUATIONAL etc) basis. Even though it doesn't seem like I've been personally particularly "cultured" to withhold expressing my feelings or anything like that, through most of my life I never cried much at all. AND (thinking about something you said, Mrs. Flicks), I also made / make a point to never, EVER ever cry in front of people... it's not I think it's always bad to do or anything, but it's just that the thought of it just made me cringe and still does! BUT THEN... along came the FIRST film that strongly triggered tears from me (Pixar's "Inside Out", at a late age ~30!) That trigger must have been VERY strong, because I happened to be watching with my roommates... and it took an insane amount of effort to NOT cry in front of them! The effort was SO great, in fact, it was actually PAINFUL for me to withhold tears, and in fact it was SO painful to do so that I immediately wished I could go back in time a few minutes and just let it out... even WITH my roommates there, lol. And weirdly (well, weirdly to ME), after the movie was over, I found myself CRAVING MORE tearjerker movies. That craving was SO unusual for me that I went off on a research tangent until I discovered that feel-good brain endorphins often come along with tears (apparently they're designed to dampen the emotional pain for us)... and I guess I'd deprived myself of those, hence my [very new] craving. Unfortunately for me at that time, re-watching "Inside Out" on my own did nothing. Neither did watching any of the "classic" tearjerkers often found in lists online. It took me a few YEARS to [accidentally stumble across] another one... "Interstellar". Then, after some alert "looking", I found a few more than "worked on me", some of them a frustrating 7+ months apart though lol... such as "The Land Before Time", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, "My Girl", and then I found some "record-holders" for me eventually: Nimona was my first "repeater tearjerker"... holds the record for pulling tears for about 15 re-watches!). The Turkish version of "Miracle in Cell No. 7" pulled tears between 5-6 times during just ONE first watch (I'd lost count!). "Hachi- a Dog's Tale" got me for about 6 re-watches, and the 2nd., etc watches were even more intense than the first probably because that story was so painful I'd caught myself repressing my emotions upon my first watch. Once I realized I was doing that and made a special point to let myself really feel it... it was like a flood.

Acceptance is the hardest for me when her character died cause we all can relate to losing a friend, i have lossed 2 friends and this movie hits hard

[@ashleymclaughlin6901]

I read the book in like 4th or 5th grade so I knew what to expect. However I didn’t watch the movie until long after I graduated high school. It wasn’t until I lost my grandma on Thanksgiving 2020 that I truly learned about grief that this movie broke me.

[@mrflickswatches]

Watching the movie but understanding it now as an adult. I actually both know how they feel I was alone for like my entire childhood til now I found a bestfriend who I'm so happy be by my side and we both know the thing that we been through. We both lost our bestfriends from different reasons and other stuff that we been through too. Even though we're still going through something especially that we regret or we blame ourselves for it, but we fought our demons, suicide and other things that we went through.

[@dontelopez2227]

I havent seen it in so long but it still make me tear up

[@mrflickswatches]

Was hard to watch at end for sure, did not expect it at all!

[@JRGKpersonal]

i was about 10 when i first saw it. at the time I didn't really react to the death or end of the movie, I was disappointed at the lack of action even. when I saw it again at 18 i broke down crying. what hurt more was a classmate I would talk to committed the big S and I couldn't stop thinking about her. even now I still tear up at this movie

[@RichardM1366]

When Jess is at Leslie's wake and he is talking to her dad you see a blonde ghostlike image drift past. It is one of the most interesting part of the movie.

[@dreamfall77]

Yes, this is an important moment, only it happens after a conversation with her father, and she looks like an ordinary girl passing by with mystical music playing.

Oh I f***** cried like a baby because it represents friendship and loss family. I couldn't imagine losing my best friend tragically that would break me yet alone a daughter that just cruel when it's your burying your kids.but also like you I watched this movie and started crying again over loss. Because when my grandmother died it felt like I cried so many tears then I couldn't cry for years then this came out the year before my mom died young. I'm still crying over that.

This movie collectively messed with every child’s feelings that saw it haha. Even with someone like me, who was lucky enough to not have to deal with the death of a loved one as a kid, it still hits hard because you just don’t expect it to happen.

[@drewhoughtaling4017]

[@Austin.Kilgore]

13:16 It was because he let it go and the dad wanted to kill it

[@agenttheater5]

19:10 And I'm just thinking - even if she doesn't believe it, isn't it more meaningful that she's approaching it and viewing it as something interesting and beautiful even if she only sees it as a story rather than believing it out of fear, obedience or just because you've never thought about it?

[@StoriesWithAPurpose]

I loved this movie so much as a kid, this came out when I was 5 years old, I remember watching it a lot and not really realizing or understanding that she had died. I remember when I was old enough for me to understand and I remember balling. I think I was like 10-13 and it was really sad.

First...I read the book on my own, because I read books ahead of my age and I was reading mom's harlequin romances at 7yo if I read everything I got from the library. THEN, the FIRST movie adaptation was made. It was hard. Then I read it for preparation to student-teach in high school (I was in a program), so I traumatized 2nd graders. Finally, this movie occurred & I saw it with my nephews. It's NEVER a movie that doesn't hurt you in your heart.

After a neighbor 'touched' me when I was 5, my 15y/o sister would hold me at night as I cried, and I believe that she absorbed my pain. I didn't see this movie until I was 45, but it reminded me when my father told me, "Your sister is dead." and in flowed all the beliefs that it was all my fault. Still working on that 4 years later, but perhaps with time.... Best wishes to you as you travel your path.

[@Bri_Games]

The first time I saw this movie was on KZbin when I was looking for fantasy movies to watch. I cried so so much when Leslie died, even tho I know it’s just a movie and isn’t real life. Couldn’t remember the name to this movie so I thought it was just one of those things where you think it existed but it actually didn’t. I think you two would like Disney 1960s Swiss Family Robinson. It’s also really really good. Would love to see a reaction to it if y’all want to. Love the videos! You both do such an amazing job!❤

[@its_destruggle2226]

I saw this movie in theatres when I was probably 10 or so, and I remember when the bomb dropped, it just broke me, because when you’re that age you know about death, but you feel like kids aren’t supposed to die. I remember crying all the way home, and I remember crying myself to sleep. Only truly special media can get those emotions from us. I love this story so much.

[@Ocean_waves2002]

This movie is powerful..many have been traumatized while I watched this movie I was the a little traumatized I mean I still went in creeks and swung on ropes but yea this movie is a sad one,it was a good one but just like they said her death came out of nowhere…😢 I just found out about this movie about a week ago and I think it’s at my top 3 in my Disney list

[@cashhcris]

I remember watching a sad movie as a kid in 6th grade. We didn’t watch this movie Bridge to Terabithia, the movie was hatchiko that was abt a dog. But yea we watched it and I personally don’t like showing emotions so I only had some tearful eyes but nobody seen it cuz I was laughing it off and hiding my face a bit. Most of my class was literally crying and so was one of my friends who was a boy. He was crying crying. For me it looked weird for him to cry like that being a boy but we were young and I guess I handled it a bit better

I can relate to not wanting to cry in front of people... here is a story I like to share [now]: I'm generally not one to cry during movies... well at least until I got to about age 30, here is that story: The FIRST film to strongly trigger tears from me was Pixar's "Inside Out", at a late age ~30! That trigger must have been VERY strong, because I happened to be watching with my roommates... and it took an insane amount of effort to NOT cry in front of them! The effort was SO great, in fact, it was actually PAINFUL for me to withhold tears, and in fact it was SO painful to do so that I immediately wished I could go back in time a few minutes and just let it out... even WITH my roommates there, lol. And weirdly (well, weirdly to ME), after the movie was over, I found myself CRAVING MORE tearjerker movies. That craving was SO unusual for me that I went off on a research tangent until I discovered that feel-good brain endorphins often come along with tears (apparently they're designed to dampen the emotional pain for us)... and I guess I'd deprived myself of those, hence my [very new] craving. Unfortunately for me at that time, re-watching "Inside Out" on my own did nothing. Neither did watching any of the "classic" tearjerkers often found in lists online. It took me a few YEARS to [accidentally stumble across] another one... "Interstellar". Then, after some alert "looking", I found a few more than "worked on me", some of them a frustrating 7+ months apart though lol... such as "The Land Before Time", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, "My Girl", and then I found some "record-holders" for me eventually: Nimona was my first "repeater tearjerker"... holds the record for pulling tears for about 15 re-watches!. The Turkish version of "Miracle in Cell No. 7" pulled tears between 5-6 times during just ONE first watch (I'd lost count!). "Hachi- a Dog's Tale" got me for about 6 re-watches, and the 2nd., etc watches were even more intense than the first probably because that story was so painful I'd caught myself repressing my emotions upon my first watch. Once I realized I was doing that made a special point to let myself really feel it... it was like a flood.

[@UnlicensedOkie]

I never saw this movie But I read the book in school when I was a kid This movie came out when I was 15 or 16

[@spontaneousadventurouskid]

love how you said that tears doesn't mean you felt the emotions or had a good reaction. i agree, people react differently. and it was so sudden that you don't know what to think at first.

[@danlyday7248]

Easily a turning point in my childhood.

[@Daytondaily]

I watched this movie for the first time when I was about 10. My grandpa watched it with me because I wanted to show it to him and he was an emotional wreck lol. I didn’t get it back then. It was upsetting but I didn’t cry (I dont think kids process emotion the same until their older) I’m 27 now and this movie gets sadder yet even better every time I watch it. Currently have tears in my eyes lol. Such a good movie for Disney to be behind it.

[@ayeron6576]

we watched this in school for a free day after testing in middle school or something like that and i remember everyone just sobbing , trauma bond forever 😭

[@jomon324]

Since Logan got mentioned, I have to say: I ran to my room when I watched Terabithia with mom and dad at home, and when I saw Logan and A Monster Calls, I was in a theater and I didn't want to sob loudly so I nearly passed out (full-on dizziness and heart feeling like it was being squeezed really hard, plus a feeling of being underwater) trying to hold it in, but tears still fell.

[@marzh5278]

I read the book in school first so I knew what was coming but it still destroyed my soul...don't worry about not crying my grandma physically can not cry since her mother died its like she cried all her tears that day and they never refilled

[@mrflickswatches]

🙏🏼

[@whizzardblizzard5696]

Finally. This movie needs a resurgence of reactions!

[@connell_creates1176]

You should totally see another movie Josh Hutcherson on when he’s even younger. It’s called “Little Manhattan” so good. Also has all the feels. ❤

[@james-nw9up]

I read this in.. 4th grade I believe.. and as a boy who would daydream a lot I really related to the relationship that the main kid had with his father especially when he made a friend who was a "weird girl" with short hair and what not.. but I definitely remember just bawling after i found out she had died cause I didn't see it coming at all. I ended up seeing the movie afterwards and felt like it did it justice... Leslie should've been more "butch" though

[@stardreamer26]

When I was in 3rd grade, my teacher read us this story, and I fell in love with this, so when this movie came out, I made sure my kids saw it. I did have an imagination like this, and it was amazing.🥰🥰

[@jayash2957]

As a kid this movie actually scared me But this time it just made me sad

[@BoxOKittens]

In school we read and watched this book and film, and also read and watched Holes, and both are cemented in my memory as defining moments of my childhood.

[@caitlinbrooks1085]

I read those same books and watched the movies. Did you have to read Where the Red Fern Grows

[@louuu573]

18:20 - it's something to be aware of. but don't justify their horrible actions because of it. someone can be the way they are because of an issue in their own life - but taking it out on a random classmate isn't the answer - and it's also an asshole move. so keeping the thought in mind is good, yeah - but just don't let yourself forgive them because of it.

[@Buugzy]

It’s even sadder when the film was based on a real person. Such a tragic story

[@shainaphillips7216]

*song comes on* "Who is this? It sounds familiar" Me: "it's her!"

[@jacobescobar1464]

i thought i was the only one who was fucked up after watching this i vowed never to watch this again after how sad it is last night i showed it to my son it hits different as a parent ❤️

[@mrflickswatches]

For sure it does. A parent should NEVER have to bury they’re own child. I wanna go before my daughters do
