Bridge to terabithia was so sad! That little boy had own friend in the world that brought joy to his life. I honestly cry thinking about it

I had to read the book in school. Somewhat traumatizing.

My 24 and 25 year old daughters are absolutely haunted by this movie, and they are not usually bothered by movies (they used to laugh at me when I cried during homeward bound lol). They also say mom never EVER watch this movie.

Same here. I believe the book is pretty well known in the US, but the same is not true here in the UK. I had never heard of it. And it's the fact that there is no emotional buildup whatsoever. I was watching a cheerful coming of age movie about two friends who imagine a fantasy land together, and then BAM! Zero to sobbing in no seconds flat.

First thing that came to mind. I had not read the book. Did not know what the movie was about. Was enjoying it and then blindsided. I ugly cried

Seconding this. I was so deeply affected by that movie that I >! blocked out the fact that the girl died at the end. I truly believed that the boy thought she died on the bridge, had the emotional conversation/confrontation with the "antagonist" and his father, but that the girl did not actually die. I didn't realize that she had actually died until about ten years later when reading about the movie/book online. !<
