♥ Sunday, May 20, 2007
I am officially a fervent fan of the new movie Bridge to Terabithia.
And I don't know why.
When I got to the part where (SPOILER, DON'T READ!) Leslie dies, I just started crying. Not many people realise this, but Leslie was the first and only friend Jess had. And he lost her after those few weeks.
I know how that feels. When you're living a life where family can't be counted on and home is not a place you want to go to, and school isn't very promising to be friendly about (no, not personal experience), and you feel as though you're alone in this world. Someone comes along and in a matter of days they change everything and turn things from shit to gold bars, and they let you see things in a completely new and different light, let you realise what's truly important in life. And yet you lose her in a matter of weeks for forever.
That kind of pain is too wincing. It's ao acute, you can cry for days and still have tears to flood the oceans and seas.
Can you imagine? Losing someone you really love, whose smile brightens up your day, whose voice you hear every moment, whose imagination you admire and adopt, whose sadness becomes yours, whose joy you deeply feel. The person you turn around and expect to see, and yet you know that she is gone forever.
The part where I really really (started) screwed my eyes was when he was in terabithia after she died and he heard her voice calling him over and over again. It's like, you know something is gone but yet again you hope that things'd be the same as the past, like Leslie would be there in another corner as he turns around. Just like how it was just a day ago. That hope in his heart and denial at the same time, I don't know what to call it.
The other part was when he saw his dad as some evil lord who was running after him. It's as if that world he shared with Leslie which he badly wants to keep is suddenly diminishing, like his imagination of the evil lord yet seeing reality at the same time that that person was his father. That feeling is like, losing everything you've ever really loved in your life, his imagination. His one and only friend after so many years of being bullied and looked down upon and never paid attention to. One person who could take one look at him and say, there's something about you today.
Oh the part where he was crying was so, so, so heartbreaking.
Plus Josh Hutcherson is going to grow up hot I tell you. :D
I'm still feeling it. I shall go do physics now, though there is nothing to do.
