Wow! This is a first for me ever. I actually liked the movie better. Before you throw tomatoes, hear me out. I personally thought the book dry at first. As I stated in my review, I had a hard time connecting to Jesse right away. The movie was quicker and updated. Jesse and his family seemed closer than in the book. I did not feel as bad for him in the movie. Things were bad for him but it did not bother me as much. In the book his mom seemed oddly cranky. She seemed just a bit stressed in the movie.
I kept looking for Bessie the cow. What exactly were his chores in the movie anyway? Thinking about it now it seems weird that I would favor the movie when I do not like many of the changes made.
I guess I really opened my eyes and looked at Jesse and Leslie and their relationship for the first time. I am not a very imaginative person so I had a hard time picturing Terabethia and all of the adventures. The movie captured their vivid imaginations and how they trusted one another enough to allow the full experience to take over( the Janice Giant Troll really got me giggling). That changed them for me. I felt more emotions in the movie when Leslie died because I saw them having a deeper connection. And who would not feel bad for that adorable little boy.
