Film: Bridge to Terabithia
The Bridge to Terabithia is set in America, California. And there is a new girl coming to Jess’ school, and her name is Leslie. They both get bullied, the boy is getting bullied by two boys in his class. And Leslie gets bullied by one big girl.
I like the way the producer has put a rich family and a very poor family together.
What I disliked about the film is that the dark lord just runs but doesn’t say anything.
My favourite part is when Jess pushes his little sister and she started crying.
The most interesting character is Leslie because you never know what can happen with her.
There are lots of mean characters, one of them is called Lisa and the other two boys bullied Jess.
The funniest thing is when Jess’ little sister Mable, starts to sing to Jess and Leslie sitting in the tree then Leslie covers her mouth.
One of the happiest things that happens is when Jess gets invited to go to the museum with his music teacher.
The saddest thing is when Leslie dies because something makes her fall into a river but if you want to know why you have to find the film and watch it.
I recommend this adventurous film to anyone who likes to imagine.
