Took the Oldest to see this movie. I don't know how Disney does it. The movie is Bridge to Terrabithia and Disney has found yet one more way to really make you lose yourself in a story line. Incredibly visual movie, full of adventure, great topics for discussions with your child.
There is the death of a child. I knew it was coming, Tammy told me that a child died. I just didn't know which one. I wasn't the only one crying. No way, not even close. I heard the sniffles and quiet sobs and I even looked at my son and it was affecting him the same. It was a great movie that makes you think about why things happen, and even if you don't know, can't find the answers in your own heart and mind, you have to sound like you have them because in some cases, your child might be nipping at your heels with the same questions and needed answers...
I recommend the movie; highly. We went to Lucas' grave after, I suppose we were both in the perfect mood for it, in fact, that's exactly what he said when I told him we were going, he said, "sure I'm in the perfect mood for it anyway". So off we went. Cathartic. These short moments in life--I'm telling you.
I actually think the little friend, Leslie, was sent specifically for the main character (the boy). I have thought about it these past few days and I do think that. I think very much that Disney makes no movies on accident, that there are storylines woven sometimes so deeply if you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't see it. I saw it. Just did. More on this theory in another post later....
Check it out. Even if you wait till it comes out on DVD. Sometimes a bit slow moving but every slow part had meaning and neither of us bored with it.
