Bryce: "This is going to be a fun watch" Me, knowing the plot: Yeah, sure, let's re-live my own personal childhood Vietnam

[@KellyCarter-xz3nn]

I personally would never forgive Rob for letting me go into this gushing about this fun fantasy movie 😂

[@ellax325]

The absolute silence from Rob every time Bryce mentioned he thought the rope was gonna break 😅

[@rybock]

The author of the original book... her son's best friend died being hit by lightning on the beach.... the whole point was the loss of Leslie, that was what she was trying to process by writing this in the first place.

[@raawrrx]

That makes it even sadder 😢

[@lucariomew358_2]

Also, She actually wanted to include the lightning in the movie, but was told it was too unrealistic. Despite that being what actually happened in real life. So they changed it to the swing rope snapping thing.

I'm definitely with Rob on this - if you have watched it once, it will be engraved in your brain. Only watched this because I've been a big fan of Josh for YEARS. And this movie absolutely broke me. Can't believe some people read the book in school 😭

[@salliejones6002]

I remember this and island of the blue dolphins in school so so sad

[@thegrasslands4187]

Yes we read this book in school and it absolutely destroyed me.

[@KellyCarter-xz3nn]

Yea whether you experienced the book or movie first, it was a shock. I read the book so I’d already had the heartbreak, and got to watch all the other kids who got that shock from the movie. It’s kinda crazy for a kids movie

[@btaudio3060]

The first time I watched it, I was really young so I really didn’t understand much. But when I re-watched it not few long ago… I was sooo sensitive! I kept crying nonstop.

For context on why the teacher invited Jess to the museum. The book was written in the 70s when you could do stuff like that.

This movie still makes me cry. For a kids movie it def has some mature themes and ages pretty well. Even with the fantasy parts it doesn't feel cheesy watching it now

[@robynhood42]

38:21 Dont have to imagine cause I was that kid 😭 Went to the theater fully expecting a narnia-esque film (the trailer for this was insanely misleading 💀) and instead I was confronted with childhood trauma

Yes, this film was dubbed. Good catch. It was filmed in New Zealand and some of the local actors ended up having to have their lines dubbed. It's also why you didn't recognize the animal Jess let out of the cage- it's an animal that doesn't live in North America. It's a type of possum!

[@jackieebear]

Zuff saying “my Peeta” in the opening >>>>>

[@LavenderViolet536]

A really great adaptation of an excellent book. As other commenters have pointed out, the book is loosely based on the author's son losing his best friend as a child. It's such an important book that does a great job of introducing children to grief. I've read this book so many times. It's a classic for a reason.

[@cheneytheron2826]

This ruined me as a kid. This ruined me as an adult. Ugh, loved it. I also cry every time I watch it.

[@Violet_Willows]

This makes me cry every time 😭 the nostalgia of childhood makebelieve, having friends that get you through hard times as a kid being bullied, being in nature carefree

[@manuelagaviria5542]

This movie will never not make me cry! It's so sad, but definitely one of my favorite childhood movies. I love the world Jess and Leslie create and how he brings May Belle into it at the end. I'm glad the dad finally stepped up at the end and was able to console Jess. RIP Leslie

[@lydiaking322]

Gotta mentally prepare for this one. I really love revisiting movies that I watched as a kid. I couldn't really appreciate that scene with the teacher in the hallway until now as a grownup and parent. The empathy and grace that teacher showed really got me.

[@beetusg8853]

When I got to that point I was leaking bad.. I’m a grown ass man and should not have cried like I just did.. I forgot all about that character turn there going from expecting her to yell to her completely understanding and love for him in that moment

[@lydiaking322]

@@beetusg8853 A lot of adults don't take the step back to remember that children are so new to life even the older ones, they need compassion and grace. I'm not saying coddle them into entitled and selfish menaces to society, but when they need it most be compassionate.

This movie was soul crushing as a kid but it did actually teach me how to process losing someone, and it really hits home because one of my friends passed away in grade 6 which was 1 year before this movie came out

[@11ibi]

I was not expecting that twist that was sad but I really did like how the ending was still kind of hopeful passing it on to his sister great reaction guys

[@lorancehack5206]

Still remember reading this in the 5th grade in 2001. I'm an adult in my 30's now who doesn't read books anymore, mainly manga, LNs, but this book left a long lasting impression. I still remember the faces of a few of the girls in my class who cried. The twist comes out of nowhere and you were just shocked. I didn't know it but some of them read ahead. We would only read at least 1 chapter every week together, review and discuss things. I was shocked and upset. I hadn't experienced losing someone, but this book was to teach children that loss is real and how you dealt with it going forward. Having experiencing losing someone, you never ever feel the same again. Just a lot of pain and guilt. You just have this big hole in your heart with a ton of regrets of what you didn't do more together. Time does heal but you just wish you had more time together. Looking back, I appreciate the efforts of my teachers.

[@beetusg8853]

The two books I remember reading growing up was this and Where The Read Fern Grows.. both amazingly heartbreaking in their book and movie

[@bourgeoisie7991]

watched this one so much as a kid that i didn't expect to cry as an adult but here i am sobbing with rob😭

[@jacobvommaro7937]

This movie NEVER fails to make me cry.

[@Heida77]

This movie never fails to make me cry 💔😭 But always good to be reminded just what a phenomenal child actor Josh Hutcherson was! He was also great in Zathura and Journey to the Center of the Earth. AnnaSophia Robb WAS in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she played Violet. Fun fact: She sings a song in the ending credits called Keep Your Mind Wide Open. But yeah, the teacher thing is a bit weird and mainly because, if you flipped the genders, most people would have an obvious reaction to that, but somehow it doesn't feel as creepy here? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Brooklynlamar1]

I actually knew that little girl first from carrie diaries and became obsessed with her and watched this movie because of it

I really thought this one would bring Bryce to tears, I’m so surprised it didn’t haha great reaction anyway, one of the most beautiful, wonderful and heartbreaking movies I ever saw as a kid. I used a rope swing with my friends to play in a glen when I was a kid until a body was found there (not by us).

[@SubKween]

I watched this for the first time yesterday and it broke me. Broke me all over again watching it with you. I wouldn't wish losing a child on anyone.

[@beezyqueen]

ahh, this movie came out in my 6th grade, and our class read the book and then went on a field trip to see the movie in theaters. i remember really appreciating the mature subject matter at the time, even if it was heartbreaking in both novel and film form. iirc in the book jesse does consider inviting leslie on the trip to the museum with their teacher- so that was a big factor of regret for him.

[@mcsgirlnaz]

This book made me cry so much when I read it at 11 years old. And then I cried just as much watching the movie at 20 years old. Quite frankly I don’t think I will ever not cry watching/reading this.

We read the book in school and we watched the movie right after, I was 10yrs old and at the time Leslie’s death confused me because I had no idea what ‘death’ was so I was just sitting there like “Why is everybody so sad?” A few months later my grandma passed away and this movie popped up on tv, I literally balled my eyes out because I finally understood what it meant. I’m 21 now and it still breaks my heart.😭

[@carlcannella4313]

The original novel that is is based on was attempt by the author to explain death to her young son, after his best friend was struck and killed by lightning. It’s a devastating watch (and read), but essential for kids. It handles its themes with such gentleness and empathy

[@aplis.]

god man , yall were like “imagine being a kid and seeing this” i had no thought of death and whatever and dang that shit was heartbreaking 😭😭😂

[@SLift-mn8hi]

I think I had read the book in school a year or so before the film came out so I was prepared for the ending, but when the film did come out I was a peer of Jess and Leslie (though slightly younger than the actors), and it still hit hard, and is pretty significant when I think of JH or ASR's filmographies (Bailee Madison too). I was also really tickled that Leslie's dad was played by an actor I recognized from "Power Rangers: Dino Thunder". For all that Jess's dad isn't great through much of the beginning, the book was written in 1979 for a rural, really "conservative" (in the sense of expectations of boys do x, girls do y) setting (and a family that is economically really challenged), and even when this came out in 2007 there was real truth to the substance of the expectations Jess was struggling with- he didn't get to be into art, he had certain expectations placed on him as the only son, and yet Leslie helped set him on a path to being more of himself outwardly, and others knowing and accepting that. For all that his dad's attitude is an obstacle for Jess in the beginning, both characters are allowed to have really meaningful character arcs (as are the others surrounding them). In terms of similar media (beside just the fact that the novel itself invoked Narnia), the films "My Girl" and "The Man in the Moon" (both released in 1991) are likely pretty devastating "kids" films dealing with death. I never saw either in full, but my younger sister was devastated by the former and my older sister obsessed with the latter.
