I watched Bridge to Terabithia for the first time and it completely wrecked me.
I went in thinking it was just a sweet, imaginative kids movie… and wow, I was not prepared. What I thought was going to be light and nostalgic turned into me sitting there fully emotional, questioning everything, and trying not to cry like a baby by the end.
As a kid, I feel like you’d see the adventure and friendship. But as an adult? You feel the deeper stuff the loneliness, the imagination as an escape, the way life can shift in an instant. It hits harder because you actually understand it now.
I literally had to sit there afterward like… “why did no one warn me??” 🥲
I thought it was a kids movie… why am I crying? 😭
10/10 movie, but also… emotionally disrespectful lol.
