Bridge to Terabithia is a tragic story of two best friends, Jesse and Leslie, both young students. The story revolved mostly around their friendship and their ‘secret hideout’ where they see creatures from their imaginations.
After watching the movie, I realized that I almost had the same fate as Jesse who lost her best friend. I was separated from my best friend when I entered high school and seems like I am not satisfied with how I cherished our moments together. Another realization I had is about how I regret not obeying and spending time with my father when he was still with us.
Going back to the story, I was also able to observe how Jesse transformed himself from a meek boy to an adventurous person. I find it relatable, because when I was younger, I didn’t like exposing myself to others, but when I learned how to express myself through singing, I find it easier to make friends and talk to others. I also became more optimistic after going through lots of problems when I was 14.
I believe that this movie will forever remain in my heart because I have never watched a movie I could totally relate to.
