BTT is one of those films that opens up your imagination...being an avid dreamer myself, i found that i can totally relate to Leslie's fantasy world...im all for FANTASY! yeah, that should justify why im so hooked to Harry Potter or LOTR or BigFish and other films of such genre...
But when it comes to reading fantasy themed books, im not so gung ho about it...cant explain why but i suspect it's gotta do with all those very foreign fantasy terms and the effort you've gotta put in to get 'inside' the author's imaginary world...i prefer my own ideal world...
so back to BTT, it's always refreshing to see a promising young star like Josh Hutcherson who really has a flair for acting in any films...he was featured in Polar Express and also Zathura, both of which i fancied...dont remind me any of the kids in Narnia, i dont even remember their names, that how's bad they were!
the only thing about BTT is that, yeah, they created a world of Terabithia, and hey, we wanna see MORE OF THAT....what happened!? i dont mind that they move back and forth the fantasy world and the real world, but just when everyone got all excited after Jesse built that bridge for his sister and we can see that glorious view of that beautiful valley (that's in NZ, btw...) and its magical creatures, everything came to an abrupt end...
Quite clearly i didnt see that coming, i was still having trouble getting over with Leslie's death, and was kinda expecting them to find her in Terabithia and to fight the mentioned war against some evil masters, it never happened...
I must say the whole film was half-baked in that sense, but i have enjoyed it while it lasted...so, i guess i cant complain...
still, Leslie shouldnt have died, i didnt even get to say goodbye...
:p
