Kids can be so cruel, I remember this one kid telling me to go look under the wheel of my parents car for my younger brother. For context my Brother at a year old was run over in an accident involving my father driving the car...... so yeah... I threw a chair at that one kid.... split his lip, gave him a black eye and broke his nose...
I'm so sorry to hear that I hope the little bastard learned his lesson
That's sick and I am sorry to hear that. I'm glad you gave him a lesson. Maybe he can learn about it before he says something stupid again that gets him killed.
Tammy Haszara good
+Masquerade the bad thing about internet now, is that everyone can say anything they want without consequence, because if you say something bad in the real world, ya gonna get smacked
Francisco Benjamin Ruiz Aravena True.
That poem she was reading was the biggest foreshadowing ever and always flew over my head until now. Holy crap.
Oh my god
***** I know, right?
O holy mother of God, I just realized this thanks to your comment.
holy shit
WAIT WHAT
CAN YOU PLEASE WRITE HERE WHAT SHE WAS SAYING
To be fair, historically speaking, a king's sister would be a princess.
Princess would be the queen if there was no queen before her serving.
@Casandshail No, she wouldn't.
@Casandshail No, she would be princess and first in line of succession until her brother the king has heirs on his own (assuming there aren't other siblings). Queen Consort is the king's wife.
@Casandshail I get it! Cuz incest!
How would she he queen? If she had a brother, there is obviously a male heir to the throne. Therefore, no queen. "Historically speaking..."
Not sure you know what you are talking about... What history? What country? Example(s)?
Principal: we have had several complaints about you kicking off several kids from the bus.
Bus driver: because i am the king of busworld.
Principal: well king you have been overthrown. Welcome to unemployment land.
Principal: Well helloooo Mr. Fancy Pants, I’ve got news for you pal, you ain’t leading but two things: Jack and shit, and Jack left town
“Hey honey how was work” well darling bus world is no more
Aw fuck XD
Or the kid could have just said... I didn't do that.
Was that Soooooo hard to say.
There are wet rags and then there's whatever he is.
I don't see how fantasy land would have given him self esteem.
Maybe boxing lessons... or a job building something.... but running from trolls?
Lmao 🤣
Fun Fact: The author of the original book based Leslie's death on the real-life death of her son's best friend, who was struck by lightning on a beach. It was actually one of the first books written for children to ever tackle such a heavy theme.
...I'm sad now.
Little Loud Wow
Jonathan M.
A) The son's friend.
B) It probably happend in the 70's or before then, so, not soon enough?
How is that a "fun" fact? More of a depressing fact
That's not a Fun Fact. That Fact wasn't Fun at all!
Little Loud wow I bet you she was shocked when that happened
its funny to think that the critic is just sitting in his chair doing this crazy stuff without music and clips before editing.
Jayden Staal I'd feel like a loony doing it. I'm always impressed that people pull it off so well.
It is funny to think you actually see him using old clips of him NOT just sitting in his chair...
Except that one scene when he was sitting on his toilet
Death Rope
I think its just called a Noose
EpicsBroFlame... talk about some dark humor.
I think you're missing the point of the animation style.
Before Jess met Leslie, all he did was fantasize. He knew they were just drawings, and was okay with that.
Then he met Leslie, and for a moment, she managed to convince him that fantasy was reality.
videohistory722 Although these things really don’t look all that great on repeat viewings. He’s kinda right on that part. And yeah, it would be really effective if they actually played into their everyday life more, since that’s what the movie was trying to say at times.
I do have to say imagine if in the movie Leslie found/saw Jess' drawings and decided to put them into their imagination world. Then you see the creatures start out as drawings in real life. As Leslie puts more details in it we see, through Jess' point of view, the creatures go from drawings to real life. I think that would have been a better idea.
“Wow. We suck even in our own fantasies.”
“I can’t be cool anywhere.”
That dialogue would be infinitely superior.
Kai0fDathomir. I actually read it when he said it. 😄😁😅😂🤣🤣
Yep, story of my life!

@@wardedthorn6523 I'm glad someone's intelligent here.
“Running is magical”
It’s magical alright.
It’s magical how fast it makes me want to die.
I feel that
I got hit by a car last week, and it turns out God doesn't actually damn you to hell when you die. He just sends you to Bus World.
It's not terribly interesting, but at least they have internet access.
Do they have free Netflix? If so, sign me up.
Busworld goddammit!
**whispers** "BUS WORLD"
Masterxl MVs that was the best thing ive read today
ok this is really funny
“One that we can use a tone of false advertising to trick Narnia fans into seeing.”
So true.
I laughed so hard because that's why I went to see it. I was a huge fantasy geek with LOTR and Narnia (for some examples), so when I saw the adds for this I got excited. I hadn't read the book yet, so when I watched this I definitely was confused, I felt ripped off lol. I liked it better after I read the book
It was exactly what happened to me, its a good movie but I hatred or because I felt ripped off
I was obsessed with fantasy films at the time this came out and when I saw the trailer, I was expecting something like Narnia or Spiderwick Chronicles XD Needless to say, it was an alright movie but definitely a bit of a disappointment
I will not lie I fell for that too. I was expecting ‘Harry Potter-Narnia-Middle Earth’ but, even though it’s still a decent movie, got this ‘life is too short’ movie instead.
Like "I Kill Giants". I was like "So, you lied to me..."
Believe it or not, in the book, the way they tell Jess Leslie's dead is for one of his sisters to say straight out "Your girlfriend's dead and Momma thought you were dead too."
I think that's what made the revelation even more shocking
She gives everyone a piece of gum! I wonder why she was Violet Beauregarde in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Coincidence? I think not.
Omg i didn't notice that
That's gotta be a reference
I thought she looked familiar.
@Diana Perez yep. two years before
@@havinnazl6621 thanks captain
Okay. That line from the bully after Leslie's death was terrible. Who thought of that?!
Apparently the bully.
WesT That's just evil, why not just give him a black cat and a twirling black mustache "Hah, your friend Lily is dead, all my friends are alive hahmmmm yes"
NOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT JERK
actually, it was in the book. So...The original creator.
Maybe I'm just not in the know but did you use a gif for a profile photo?
Imagine Leslie as a Dungeon Master. Just imagine.
Alright Terribithians, let us dive into our adventure!
-Uh, Leslie, please tell me this is gonna be a normal one?
A troll of 1 thousand fires attacks!
-Oh Christ.
How can a corpse DM a game?

“You broke the magic rope”
( get it because that’s how they died I’ll leave)
I actually really loved this movie, yes, it gets a bit wimsy. But remember Leslie was dealing with moving and not having real friends until Jess. And speaking of Jess, he was being bullied and was being looked over by his parents until Leslie died. And when they weren't overlooking him (especially his dad) they were asking a lot of him, his younger sister taking up a lot of the attention when all Jess wants is approval. Which makes it more impactful when he and his dad had the moment in the woods and Jess sought forgiveness from his sister. Over all it seemed like Jess's imagination was being squashed from multiple angles and Leslie was fueling both there imaginations to help Jess as well as help him, dispite them never directly addressing Jess's problems completely.
@Brandon Brooks well it’s disney so it wouldn’t be by default anyway
@@lilithjade4363 it was actually screenwritten by the son of the author, who the book is based on, so i would argue it still holds up as it’s own. My opinion but I greatly prefer the movie.
@@birbwho "the son of the author" means nothing. hes a different person.
The book was beautiful but this movie feel unnecessary
@Nightmare1398 The book did go more in detail of certain events the movie is still one of the best adaptations
When the Critic flipped out over the, “fastest kid in the class now,” is absolutely hilarious. 25:22
"There's ya, and then there's nah, and that was NAH"
“He did not! He did not!”
If I find the 70 people who disliked this review
They're DEAD MEAT

"Beep, beep, beep, beep. You know what that is? My loser detector."
Well it must be going off pretty often when you're by yourself. Also that's the stupidest insult I've ever heard.
I know, right! Besides, gaydar is the obvious insult here
+IrishStar oh hey its u again
Still doesn't beat "Hey, assbutt!"
If some kid said that to me, I might die of laughter.
Buddy Duarte BUS WORLD
One point I think Critic misses about the “overly-whimsical” scenes is that they’re trying to highlight beauty where people normally don’t notice it.
The other month I was at the museum Bodyworlds-The Happiness Project in Amsterdam. One of the things they had was two simple swings. Nothing fancy about them, just invited people to use them if they wanted. I read into this a little deeper.
By using the swing, you gain a feel of excitement in your stomach, you’re more aware of the air around you, and you can feel that little more alive.
I think they are telling the same story with that rope swing. The film is trying to highlight that there is beauty all around, but people are generally too occupied to see that beauty
Plus it’s just kids being kids
Just like the dude in American Beauty who loves the video of a plastic bag…oh wait that was stupid then and it’s stupid now. Not every normal thing is whimsical
@@jackhageman9983 not with that attitude
It may not have aged well, but this movie has a special place in my heart and my childhood.
Yeah don't let bitter nostalgia critic ruin something wholesome and Good
@@misterbobby8913 seriously this was one of the only movies that addressed/helped me deal with real grief as a child.
@@lilithjade4363 Word, Facts. This movie is Objectively Beautiful.
True
16:55
Look my best friend’s dead and my teacher’s hitting on me. I don’t know what’s normal anymore ! 😂
Omg
The Disney princess revenge planning was hilarious!
Yeah, I never knew Ariel with a gun could be something I needed to see in my life yet when it happened I had to replay it and laugh again.
Masquerade Me neither. That was awesome.
David Cappadoccia Yeah.
David Cappadoccia 935 ftw!! Edward's Walnut Delivery!
And in the end, it looks like the princesses won
I love how Jess and Leslie can somehow see the exact same thing when they’re fantasizing
we see what jess sees
We don’t really know what Leslie seeing because we aren’t looking from her pov but she’s helping and telling Jess to imagine it and that’s what we’re seeing. So they’re basically imagining the same thing
I mean she’s describing what she’s seeing to him, so it’s reasonable to assume
3:17 *I mean, when’s the last time you heard someone say “Dead Meat”?*
All the time now, thanks to James A Janise.
Heisenkirk 2000 same man!took the word right out of my mouth
70s-90s bullies are weird....
Growing up in the late 2000s and now,
I WANT THESE BULLIES BACK!
At least they were not talking about weird sexual stuff.
Bullies are weird, regardless of what era you grew up in
@@warrenlehmkuhleii8472 Not to mention back then you could actually dole out beatings outside of school to said bullies.
@@BrokensoulRider Good point. Nowadays teachers punish the kids who fight back. Happened to my little cousin not so long ago.
@@isexuallyidentifyasukraini5407 That's why you make sure you threaten lawyers. They'll listen to the side that has lawyers. Especially in the event that someone ends up killing themselves because of bullies.
Leslie was into roleplaying before it was cool.
Was roleplaying ever cool?
@@alexeysaranchev6118 only in bed
People have been LARPing for decades
Leslie is dream girl manic pixie
she's be a great Dungeon Master
This girl could play Alita back in the days :D
Same thought!
Shiiiiii you right
The eyes wouldn't even need to be made bigger!
I swear she looks different in every scene
Is it weird that I misread that as “this girl could play Attila”?
Bridge to Terabithia:
*The movie you watched when you were 9 looking for fantasy only to find deppression.*
I trained to be a schoolbus driver last year. It is actually illegal to kick a child off the bus en route to their destination. You can ban them from riding the bus for the rest of the school year, but it's not really the bus driver's decision to make. He would need permission from the dispatcher. Also, I really hated that scene. It was really annoying how that child lied about getting tripped and got the other kid kicked off the bus. That's why I'm glad I was homeschooled. Also, you're not supposed to humiliate the student by punishing them in front of all the other students. You're supposed to send them to the front of the bus and punish them privately. The point I'm trying to make is that guy should be fired.
Trainfan1055
All Im thinking is that homeschooling worked out great huh.
Also far from the films only leap in logic.
Realistically if anything had happened to that kid the bus driver would be responsible.
Remember kids: homeschooled=bus driver
Contrary to previous comments, having a career as a bus driver is an ok thing. Not for everyone. But you do what you wanna/gotta do.
Being a bus driver is hard work when you consider you have to deal with the other drivers on the road (at least 50% drive like idiots) and having to deal with the students on the bus (at least 50% act like assholes, no matter their grade) at the same time. If you could throw kids off the bus like in this movie, the bus driver would have thrown over half the students off the bus.
I'm surprised you didn't make a gum joke about Anna Sophia Rob because she's the girl who's gum obsessed in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
Pattyrick55 good point.
LOL 😂 IKR
Yeah. Stick to Juicy Fruit gum (pun not intended), because it doesn't TURN you into fruit.
Look like she didn't have the right gum to eat to float up and not did
Pattyrick55 holy shit that was her??
Fun fact: the guy who directed this movie is one of the co-creators of Rugrats (No, really. Look it up.)
Gabor Csupo!
Now that's a *S M A S H I N G* fact
I know
As long as he isn't a co-creator of Tugrats
Huh
You can definitely tell this was supposed to take place in the 70s
i watched this movie in elementary school and the only part i remember is "god will damn you to hell" and the entire class of atheists bursting out laughing
Top kek
+Shemh3 I spent three days thinking of mine.
I would have been laughing
You had an entire class of atheists? What kind of school did you go to and where can I find it?
hah
Don't forget that other little bit of foreshadowing with her poem seeing as she drowned in that creek.
Googleplier oh my god I never realized
Googleplier I noticed that
I realised at the start of the video and then forgot
Googleplier omg wow
O_o
Regardless of how the film is, the theme is absolutely incredible imo. It just fills me with emotion every time I hear it.
26:30 Okay first of all, being a princess does not "make" you anyone's daughter, it's the other way round, being the king or queen's daughter will make you a princess.
But more to the point, a princess can also be the king or queen's sister, George VI's sister was Princess Mary, and the current queen's sister was Princess Margaret.
The only way a woman in royalty can be queen is if she's either the heir to the thrown or married to the king.
...
*Sweet home alabama*

How dare you criticize my childhood.
But its so overly dramatic about the swinging because it was seen through Jess's eyes. He had always had no friends and had no one to really be with and have fun with so that moment for him was hella amazing
God... even watching a comedic review of this movie still makes me cry. The first time I saw that movie, the scene where they said she had died really came as a punch in the stomach. I just can't brace myself for it, it always hits me right in the feels.
Heck, there are still tears rolling down my cheeks as I write this...
Then you definitely don't want to watch the original. It was way more serious and sad.
Stephen Wagner There's an original? Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
***** all dem feels T^T
Same here
Shiny Sneasel There are two kinds of people
Not gonna lie, I cried when you showed the clip of Jess hugging His father crying.
I'm sensitive
Kiersten Simpson same
Honest to god same
Ethan Thompson omg lol
Haven't seen the movie in a long time, but that's probably the best part.
JonDoesGaming yeah i mean i watched it again last weekend and realize how much of a crazy twist in tone the movie took and the great lesson it taught to a generation
This film holds a very special place in my heart. I had a similar story to Jesse's. No friends (I didn't even go to public school, my parents insisted on homeschooling me and my siblings), a family falling apart with my parents separating (and feeling powerless to stop it), remote country life in southern Maryland, financial hardship (I also wore my sister's hand-me-downs!), unhealthy religiosity, budding artistic and creative skills antagonized by a pressure to do "manly" things, and, unbeknownst to me at the time, latent homosexuality. When I saw this film for the first time in theaters, as a vulnerable fourteen-year-old, it made me feel seen.
Leslie was the friend I needed then, and as she did for Jesse, the character helped me through the dark time. She inspired me to stay true to my interests and what I wanted to do with my life.
Grew up and went to college. After graduating I was hired by Walt Disney Imagineering in Florida, before heading out to California to be a story artist for film and TV. I'm exactly where and who I need to be, and I want to inspire others to do the same.
If you happen to be another "Jesse" reading this, to you I say, don't ever give up on your dreams. Don't be afraid to try new things. What is it you want most? The journey of life is excruciating, yes, but the joy you experience along the way is magic. The world can't wait to see what you have to give! ❤
Thanks dude, and have a fantastic spring.
"Dead meat" is also the phrase the vultures quawk.
And the scrogers or squirrel things say 'beep beep beep beep..." like the other bully did
This was legit the first movie to ever break my heart... Really doesn't hold up the same after 12 years
Lilly Bean same it doesn't hold up now Because we know how outdated it was to begin with
My first was iron giant
kameron hall ya that was great and that still holds up
Lilly Bean same
That's how the book affected me. The movie didn't seem to catch as much of that feeling... but maybe that's because I read it at about age ten.
Well...
At least there will be no disturbing reunions...

Jess had issues that weren’t being addressed because of his four sisters and his parents being concerned about the family finances. He had to share a room with his younger sister and his area was the size of a large closet (not quite walk-in wardrobe size though). On his birthday his father even takes back his present despite nothing really being wrong with it, and he has to wear his sister’s hand me down shoes because they couldn’t afford a replacement pair (and it sounded like Jess was really getting the max mileage out of his old pair). His art was how he expressed himself since no one was willing to express interest in him or his interests until Leslie came along. Terabithia is how Jess can work out his frustrations from the real world and this allows him to build up confidence that clearly shows.
It also links into his relationship with his father. As Jess buys more into the fantasy world it annoys his father who doesn’t see it as practical. He lashes out at Jess when things go awry because he isn’t aware his parental favouritism is having a negative reaction on Jess (which also influences Jess’s relationship with his sister, their father’s favorite who Jess has to share a room with). So when Jess doesn’t have someone he can talk to when the one person he did talk to has died, his father realises that he’s been passively emotionally abusive towards Jess and that Jess needs a shoulder to cry on and someone to blub what he hasn’t been able to let out.
25:27 My reaction when Mysterio said " If you were good enough, maybe Tony would still be alive."
"We can kill them younger, can't we?"
This right there actually made me spit out my drink in laughter, bless you, Critic.
I never watched this movie but I dead-ass always thought that was Dakota Fanning. And, upon looking up this actress's wiki page, I'm realizing that every movie that I thought starred Fanning (Because of Winn-Dixie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Race to Witch Mountain, etc.) actually starred her. My whole life has been a lie.
Captain Con Queso am I the only high schooler who doesn’t like using dead-ass.
you dead-ass are
My God, I just realized she was the girl from Charlie and the Chocolate factory
Didn’t Dakota Fanning voice Coraline in ‘Coraline’
That’s not her??
Can't deny that Leslie's death really does hit like a ton of bricks.
No matter what anyone can ever say, you all shed a tear at one point when Leslie was confirmed dead,
You all did.
I want a movie about Bus World™.
Bridge to Bus World.....BUSWORLD GODDAMNIT!!!!!
And the way the main character dies is tripping on the stairs to the bus
Bus Man vs the Subway Chums
God damns you to the bus!
When I was a kid, I spent lots of time with my preschool teacher and all we did was bake cookies. I'm still friends with her to this day.
so you're dating her?
That's sounds awesome.
That's really nice
Ya bang
denial?
I watched this only because I was hoping Doug didn't know how it ends and I wanted to see him be surprised. I was not disappointed. "Man is something bad ever going to happen in this movie?! Okay someone better have died! Oh ... shit."
I caught the second half of this movie on tv one day when I was sick. Damn I was utterly shocked. Never seen a movie take such an unexpected turn. It made me cry to be honest because I was so surprised.
"Is every little mundane thing going to be an incredible adventure?" Yes, yes it will. That's kind of the point.
having leslie writing about being underwater is...kinda dark
Yeah it is.......😐😒

11:34 Still one of the best skits in the series. 🤣
God dammit I remember bawling my eyes out at this movie when I was a kid. I have not touched it since, despite loving everythinf leading up to...you know what.
I remember being too young to understand this was a movie trying to make me understand death
You know? now that I think about it this movie reminds me a lot of those indie films where a guy hangs out with a "manic pixie dream-girl"
it pains me to admit it, but i find myself liking such trite in cinema. paper towns and garden state are good examples.
locke103 I ducking hate films like that. It’s just too plain and obvious to me, you know, they’re always thinking of something and are always right. Because "they can be anything they want".
The scene of the Critic whimsically taking a dump on the toilet was one of the funniest things I've seen him do!
It is literally hilarious as hell
What? It was cringy as fuck
Dear NC,
Thanks for having the image of the Disney princesses giving the “stink eye” brand into my brain and haunt my nightmares for all eternity! Like my life didn’t have enough problems already.
Your fan,
NO
Thus the “Free to Pee” movement was born
For a really sad film about death. My god, this is one of the funniest Nostalgia Critic videos 😂
BUS WORLD!
Wastelands Nomad TERABITHIA GOD DAMN IT!!!!
"What do I need them for? I AM the Barbie!"
It just made Wednesday morbid.
In the middle of the review, youtube played their own Juicy Fruit gum ad, lol!
DancingAT wow lol
I kind of miss these old Nostalgis Critic videos. Sure the humor hasn’t aged great but there are times where it can be funny. I really enjoy when he brings up pertinent information about the film which he doesn’t really do as much anymore
I remember reading this book when I was a kid. I loved watching the friendship between Jesse and Leslie grow, and was destroyed when Leslie died. It is a timeless classic, and it didn’t shy away from the hard things. It had been the first book like that I had come across, and it left a lasting impact. Thank you, so much, for this book.
500 Days of Blandness?
Cmon.
You missed the opportunity for 500 Days of Dumber.
Oh well...
Or 500 Days of Bummer for the death scene
+TyphoonZebra Sounds like a sponsored event for a vehicle.
RobotSnake dude, you need to visit urban dictionary. Hummer has more than 1 meaning ;P
TyphoonZebra I try not to visit UD considering every entry seems to have a sexual slant.
RobotSnake 'Hummer' is a commonly known term for oral sex. Like, probably top three best known. I would know.
This movie was the theatrical equivalent of blueballs for me, it was spot on with tricking Narnia fans.
Grapple Agreed.
Too bad, because I didn't even know this movie even existed at the time. I was too bust waiting for the next Narnia movie to release.
I hated this shit, it was the first time I was falsely advertised to
19:30 this is my favorite part of the whole review
This is how I saw this movie:
"People don't look around them enough, cell phones are killing society."
"Make a movie where we over romanticize staring at clouds and the world around us, using kids and their imaginations, but do it with kids who are old enough to have grown out of that phase already. Then have one of them die, just to rub in how much we take the world for granted."
Regardless of the source material, THAT is what this movie feels like. Psychotically specific is right - most kids that age don't DO this kind of shit anymore. They were trying to modernize it, as well, which speaks to the incredible failure there. It speaks to psychological abnormality/damage, or the pure and sheer BOREDOM of having NOTHING else to do at all, that these two spend so much time in this little imaginary world of theirs. Don't get me started on how messed up it is that they disappear for HOURS at a time and no parents are looking for them until one of them DIES.
But the movie was before the smartpones
@@andreasolano8248 well they did have that bit about everyone watches TV. I also got the impression that by being away from tech that some how makes everyone worth less
I mean the movie is directly inspired by a real life story. The novel is written by the mother of the boy who is the equivalent to the main character.
Multiple elements are from the real life story, such as playing around the woods with their imagination, and having this girl turn the boys life around for the better and becoming best friends.
In fact her real cause of death of being suddenly struck and killed by a lightning bolt had to be altered because the editors said noone would believe it.
And I really don't understand your criticism. because there are definently kids in those ages that play around like that.. hell there are still ADULTS who who play around like this. How is this any different from a people playing DnD or participating in roleplay?
It seems weird that you would feel this triggered of over a movie just showing two kids play around in the woods.
The only one being "psychotically specific" here is yourself, who is strawmanning an entire movie.
25:40 why did Critic become Gru from Despicable me?
Because he hates this movie as much as I do
There is yuo, and there is nuo, and that was *NUO!*
@@haihai9022 actually because of what that kid said
I like this critic better
Well, he always kinda sounded like Steve Carell
The "trick Narnia fans into seeing" part is so accurate as that is why I saw this dumb ass movie.

Me too.
At least Jess is cute😍

Ariel and Nostalgia Critc could get along with their love for guns
The director of this film was Gábor Csupó, co-creator of Rugrats.
Who else wants to see a horror sequel to this where Jess is haunted by Leslie's ghost? Just imagine it: She could make him see Terabithia at times when he shouldn't be, like in school!
+SilverHairedFreak25 That.. would be amazing
+SilverHairedFreak25 It truly is his Silent Hill.
Get Disney to do it, they need more scary horror movies.
+2 bros and 1up What if Jess is been dead the whole time and he's actually in purgatory, that Leslie is actually his '"otherself" that he made up as an alternate ego and wished he wanted to be like because she's a representation of him when when he was alive on Earth (including everything that happened to him when he was alive) and his death because she died the exact same way he died (the rope, getting hit horribly by a branch, and drowning), also Terabithia and the Bridge represent a place that he wished to escaped and live in back when he was alive, and all the positive turnarounds in the movie you see is what he wished had of done to fix when he was still alive, but the thing is he doesn't know he's dead and he's thinks this is actual reality or possibly a dream.
+SilverHairedFreak25 It never ENDS!!!!!! it never ENDS!!!!!! IT NEVER FUCKING ENDS!!!!!!!
If Zoey Deschanel was my teacher, i'd bet hot for teacher too, dont lie you would too.
No
Yeah your right...
No comment
True
Eh, she's cute enough, I guess
Actually I loved the whimsical parts of this film a LOT. Dunno. Everything felt like that when u were a kid, and watching it for me just relived that feeling. Especially having a crush and feeling like everything magical
Your profile pic looks like Axel getting killed Jason with a hacksaw in the final chapter
And annasophia and josh have gone on to incredible movie careers.. annasophia with the Carrie diaries, race to witch mountain and a few others..
Josh of course with the hunger games franchise..
And when I saw this for the first time I started to have a huge celebrity crush on Annasophia Robb that still somewhat exists today. Hehe. And it’s honestly one of my favorite movies despite the sad depressing undertones..
10:36 "Also I have an idea for a young-adult series that rips off Battle Royale!"
HOW THE FUCK DID I MISS THAT JOKE! IT'S TOO FUNNY! OH MY GOD!
"DONT MAKE HIM GET OUT HIS CAKE DECORATING KIT!"
“You didn’t have enough backing so you had to go to Juicy Fruit?”
Well, I think someone forgot the power of Juicy Fruit, because as we all know, the taste is gonna move ya
Well you know it wouldn’t be the first time a catholic told me god would damn me to hell, but it would certainly be the youngest.
25:23 I would've pummeled that kid until he was dead.
Stabbed em with my ✏️
Until he was dead meat*
What was the phrase? I keep trying to understand it but I can't. Something about class?
TheGoldenAge2 Oh I see! Thanks dude, that was driving me crazy. He definitely asked for that punch.
Q
hahaha XD
I loved the contrast in this movie. Apart from when I broke off at the end. I loved how it was all happy and cringy and whimsical, and just darn right stupid and inconsequential.
I thought it was going to be about Leslie being annoyed that he had a crush on the teacher or some dumb Disney shit like that. But no. The movie catches you off guard.
Leslie died. It did it so well. When he walked through the woods, it was the exact same path/track just, Leslie wasn’t there. It was also so silent and empty feeling.
This really got me as I was just sitting there like “where’s Leslie?” This movie managed to hit me with this wall off unexpected realism that I had never experienced before. You see your hit with Leslie’s death, but you don’t accept it. You expect, since it’s a Disney movie, and due to the inconsequential tone set up before. That maybe Leslie’s still out there. Maybe. Just maybe some weird magical shit will happen.
I found my self begging that she would have been there when he went walking. It was only when he was walking his sister down to the magical place. That the realisation hit. Leslie, wasn’t there anymore. Not tagging along behind, or talking to him. She was gone. She left her world, and terebithia behind.
This movie is the first time in anything where I have refused to get over a characters death.
This movie put me in the shoes of the protagonist, unlike any other.
Doopy Doody fucking agree man. Tru words
I felt the same until the girl started getting creepy with her comments. I started thinking "...does her dad molests her or something?...is this where they are going?"
>it was all happy and cringy and whimsical
"Whimsical digestion", Critic called it. Which is dumb because it has absolutely nothing to do with digestion. Think about it. That look the Critic described. It's trying to create a notion of enchantment, of whimsy. But it fails. It's...Flimsy whimsy. It's flimsical!
That's exactly how I felt
I think it's the second kids movie that makes me cry, after a Thai movie about a kid and an elephant
26:30
No, the king's sister would be the princess, assuming she also has the royal blood
“Oh um, look at the time. I’ve got to go do some uh, sane things”
I think this movie would be better if the death of Leslie happened at the beginning and it would focus on Jess coping with the loss of her by building this magical land and he'll start having flashbacks about her
And various other things to help him remember her
Ryder R Well, taking on account what 13 Reasons Why did, it might not have been that hard
that'd be a better movie plot
well, I want to see this movie now. Better find someone to pay you for this idea so you can make it.
Nah, that would undercut the narrative of the book, which is designed to kick you straight in the balls with a stark and unflinching exploration of mortality.
This was one of the saddest movies I ever watched as a kid. One of the first ones where i genuinely remember being very sad.
The first film that I remember leading to genuinely feeling sad was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, after Cedric dies and his father wails over his dead body. I had to hold back the tears until the movie was over. Then, far more recently, there was this movie, which had even more of an effect. I've been thinking about it constantly for well over a month.
Free willy anyone?
@@fishofgold6553That scene is greatly acted.
When I was little I used to go to the woods and make believe too. I also built forts and played in the creek. You really got to put your into that mindset to appreciate this movie.
4:16, the perfect joke doesn't exi-
