CARPE DIEM: Bridge To Terabithia

Few days ago, i watched this fantastic movie called Bridge to Terabithia. Don't get me wrong. I'm not an outdated person. I had watched this movie when it first came out not few days ago. I chose this movie as my related text for my English assignment whereby each of us had to find a related text that has "journey" and relate it back to the novel that we studied "Looking for Alibrandi".

This movie really had touched me in some way. This movie is so meaningful that Katherine Paterson(the author of this movie) should be applauded. However, we should not forget Gabor Csupo'(director) who did a wonderful job directing this movie. Josh Hutcherson and Annasophia Robb the actor and actress for this movie who played Jesse(Jess) Aarons and Leslie Burke respectively were great too. Both of them did a brilliant job well done. I personally like the character Leslie Burke(Annasophia Robb) as she is filled with joy and such charisma. It was sad that she died at the end of the film. I was like," What!!!! She died?!" I have to admit that this movie brought me to tears.

For those who didn't watch this movie, here is a sypnosis:-

"Animation master Gabor Csupo directs his first live-action film in this adaptation of the novel The Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson. In the film, Jess (Josh Hutcherson) is misunderstood. Despite Jess' talents as an artist, the school bullies pick on him, his father (Robert Patrick) belittles his dreams, and his four sisters invade his space in the family's cramped house. Jess' bleak world changes when Leslie (Annasophia Robb) moves into the house next door. Bright, creative and outspoken, Leslie also finds herself an outsider in their school. Soon the two are thick as thieves, spending their after school hours exploring the woods beyond their backyards and on the others side of a creek, which Leslie deems the kingdom of Terabithia. Here, they create their own magical world, complete with a Dark Master and his minions, dragonfly soldiers, giant trolls and a treehouse fortress. In Terabithia, the two friends let their imaginations run wild and control their destiny, far away from school bullies and the pressures of adolescence. Hutcherson and Robb are well cast as Jess and Leslie in this coming-of-age tale. Hutcherson handles both the melancholy intensity and unbridled joy of his character beautifully, and Robb's smile and charisma are infectious. Zooey Deschanel also stars as Miss Edmunds, the music teacher who befriends Jess. Parents should read the book or learn more about the story before taking young children to see this film, as the story includes not only some scary creatures, but also the death of a young person. Terabithia and its creatures are created by WETA Digital LTD, the same company that did the effects for the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and KING KONG."

Well, for me, the sypnosis of a movie is never enough. Those who still didn't watch the movie yet, should get a copy of it right now. This movie is not a children movie but actually for every group age. I could confidently and bravely say that this movie will change your life in some way. This movie will definitely be in my TOP 10 favourite movie in my whole life. WATCH THE MOVIE!!!!!! I wish and hope there is Bridge to Terabithia 2. However i got a strong feeling that it won't have a sequel as firstly, Katherine Paterson did not wrote a sequel and secondly, Leslie is dead. So, what will the sequel be about?! Anyway, my fingers are always crossed. Haha.....GO JOSH AND ANNASOPHIA!!!!!

Here is a video clip of Annasophia Robb's music video:

P/s: By the way, i heard that Annasophia Robb is acting in a film directed by Gabor Csupo'. The movie is not out yet. Maybe in 2010 or 2011.
