- How did Bridge to Terabithia become a movie?
Katherine Paterson's heartbreaking novel, Bridge to Terabithia made a huge impact on me when I read it as a kid, and probably many other kids through many generations. A powerful story had the ability to do that.
I felt it was right for me to pay homage to the first book to ever make me feel like I've truly lost a friend when a character died (sorry, it's not George RR Martin). In this episode of Adaptations, I look into the tragic inspiration of Bridge to Terabithia and how the torch of the story was past on from mother to son.
This is the story of Katerine Paterson's novel, but it's also a story about David L Paterson's childhood and his adaptation of the Newbery award-winning children's novel.

I remember hating how the story went, I think I was like 8 or 9 when I watched it, I wish I didn't. Not until I was older at least, I remember the story ripping me to shreads.
Me too 🥺😭
I didn’t cry or care about sad movies before but this one hit deep first movie I actually cried to
Just thinking about this is giving me emotions. This book really helped me with dealing with the inevitability of death. Im not a big reader but this book was one of my favorites as a kid
Wonderful vid, I got to see the film when i was 7 which tore my heart for a long time, then when i grew up i got to read the book in School such a childhood love that i got from this film.
Ahh that's mean ...... You born in 2000 ?
Same I watched it in 1st grade, now I’m in fifth so we have a assignment tomorrow I have so much knowledge from it
The original movie was much better imo
such as sad origin story!
It really is... this was the first book to really hit me with a tragic ending. I remembered how off-guard I was. It's hard to explain, but many years later, Ned Stark got beheaded and I experienced the sensation all over again.

I can’t help but feel the creeps and the chills during the 1985 adaptation coverage. Such creepy, dark music around that part. I never even knew the dialogue was dubbed over.
At age 7 I always asked myself why she died...a beautiful story though
I remember reading this when I was younger. I remember predicting the ending
Thank you so much for providing this video
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment! 👏
I remember reading this book- I saw the movie too but I can't remember much if it. All I know is it really made me think and helped me understand the realities of loss.
The book and movie made me cry in 6th grade my class read this and it was the only time I actually enjoyed going to school this book was a huge impact on me
Thanks for covering one of my favorite books. Didn't care for the movie, but it's nice to see people giving the book the legitimate attention it deserves. The book helped me cope with losing somebody close to me as a child (though this person didn't die).
I just came across your channel and all the videos I've seen so far have been exceptional. I can tell effort was put into them since all the videos were well presented, competently edited, engaging, and informative.
Wow! Thank you for all the support! More videos to come 👏
Thank you for sharing your insights about the movie I learned a lot. I've just finished watching the movie again. Trying to see how my understanding changed since I watched it in 2007.
I did have a different interpretation from what was meant by Katherine Paterson. I'm now interested to read the book. Just to understand what the author's original focus is behind the meaning of the story.
I still shed tears because I too lost a friend when I was 9. He died of eye cancer.
This book still remains as one of my favorite childhood books
When people get hurt, they learn to hate... When people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow… and how you grow is up to you.
i love this, didn't expect this to be this good of a video, thanks !
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for a wonderful content and presentation 🙏
i low key cried
I was like 5-6 when I saw this. Didn’t realize how sad it was, until I watched it years later.
Same I remember watching it and feeling sad but now that I’m older I can view it a lot more abstractly
This movie broke me as a kid
I love your review and I must say this movie didnt seem to great to me as a kid. However as an adult now I can appreciate and see the lessons that I would have learned from it. How bullies may not all be as bad as they seem for no good reason. How not every parent acts the same way but in the end most will love their children even if its through tough love. Also how life is full of greatness and yet still holds many disappointments too. I was a kid who made up imaginary games like they did and I also had a hard time in school and making friends. This movie was very relatable to me as a kid. I can only hope other children may look back the same way as adults. This movie was clearly made to show the authors life lessons more so than entertainment and I think it did so very well. I think having seen this and some other content had helped me with the passing of a family member. Strangely enough that same family member had gifted me a acrillic paint set in a wooden box just like in this movie. That family member I had previously praised for her paintings also left me with a birthday present I asked for 1 year. It was a remake of another picture she did in the past that I could frame. I still have that picture framed and on the wall of my house. So... yeah this movie hits me a bit hard.
Breaks me every time
For the longest time, I was afraid of death. I rewatched the movie and reread the book in high school and suddenly, I came to terms with my mortality. I know that my loved ones will continue to live while I reunite with the rest.
We’re you scared of not being born?
This is a great video but the background music feels wrong
i agree
No no no she died because she tried to go alone when Jess went on with the music teacher because Jess was not there, the rope broke because she didn’t have Jess with her!!! Jess was the king remember?
Yeah v know that she died when rope broke and this is what the movie says but this is true story and in real life she died by a lighting strike😭
It would’ve happened anyway it had to do with the rope breaking they both could’ve died if he was there
@@evanpowers6045 nope, jess wouldve stopped her from swinging in the first place and ic it broke when theres the two of them, they will figure something out, the sad part is she was all alone that time and no one to help her
OMG I had no idea . Thank you for this
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
Is so heart breacking i love it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks bro this moive made me cry 2 to 3 days😭
i am cry infinity time
I cried sooooo much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
one of those movies you should definitely definitely show to your kids.
"why did Leslie have to die?" -some kid
"everybody gotta die some day, Red." - Barnes
I had not read the book. I was really not satisfied with the excuse of her dying in the movie by falling in the water. Kids that grow up with a rope swing over water like that tend to be self taught swimmers. As she was such a vibrant girl that relished being outside and the freedom and resilience growing up like that can give (which is how I grew up and with a male best friend) it made no sense to me that she would drown. Honestly, there is something more believable about the randomness of a lightening strike. It helps explain that death can be random and sudden. I could have used this book in 1977 when I was in 6th grade and found a good friend I had just meet that year dying of an overdose in the school bathroom during classes. Back then they did not give you any therapy. The adults just refused to talk about it. They looked the other way when she came to school with bruises down her arms. Only the police that talked to me then gave a damn about the abuse her father was giving her after her mother had died. I think this book is something I need to find now. I am 58 now but it might still give comfort.
Make a vid about orphan (2009)
Good horror with a really interesting ending!

Lisa? What are you doing here?
What the freaking hell?!?!?!? What are you doing here...
Love this film and this vid.
Beautiful 😍😍 and heartbroken story😭😭why Leslie die
I was certain I had read the book, no, AND I am certain I never will, sometimes you just can't take another loss.
This story was actually very interesting and nice but l wonder how the girl died
Why did the background music have to be so scary….
No one speaks about the 1985 movie
It was very bad. The acting is like if they were reading right of the script and Leslie looked like a boy which they changed in the movie and it was a VERY good decision
Even the author and her son hate the 1985 version with her son going on to describe it “as the crazy cousin in a mental hospital nobody wants to talk about”. That’s right. He compared the 1985 film to a frigging mental hospital patient!

It’s a great book a movie
When the part 2 will release
Wtf was that music at the end 😕
This movie tramatized me as a kid 🤣🤣🤣
So I'm in Maryland too
Why there is no part 2 of this movie
It’s been years, but if Josh Hutcherson played a grown up version or even his sister in the movie going back to bridge to Terabithia that would be kinda epic haha
R.I.P
Thanks for the video and also does Jesse have a regret for leslie in the book or is it just for the movie ?

I believe there are fan fiction out there that continues Jesse's story
@@theelliotchan
Yes, and I have found fanfiction that really makes sense, and the story is very beautiful, I found it on the wattpad written by Elle Fred, I hope the script he made can be made into a film, with the same cast Leslie and Jess, Anna and Josh
