Bridge to Terabithia

Ow--my heart. This movie was emotionally wrenching but I loved it! First of all, it was a family movie and I did not have to be on guard with my children--it was all safe content. Second of all, it had everything--themes of friendship, pressures, injustice, overcoming, death, rebirth, life, imagination, creativity.

The bridge is symbolic--she was his bridge, he was hers. Together they crossed into themselves and each other and she helped him to build a bridge to others, something he had never allowed himself to do.

We WILL read the book together--my children and I.
