The Movie that Moved me to Tears

Every Wednesday night, while my parents are at Alpha, my brother and I have what we like to call our “brother sister night”. We usually just watch TV and hang out together. One week, my brother was telling me about a movie that he was anxious to see. I didn’t tell him, but I had been thinking about seeing that same movie. I thought it would be a nice surprise to bring him to the movie theater and see it together on our brother sister night. The movie we saw is called “Bridge to Terabithia”, and it is about a boy and his friend who makes up a wonderful fantasy land called Terabithia! Toward the end of the film, the girl, who is the boy’s only close friend, dies. The boy is heartbroken and then, decides to introduce Terabithia to his little sister, making it a sad and yet happy ending. When the boy’s friend died, I didn’t know where the tears were coming from, but they just kept coming, and they wouldn't stop! I guess I was able to relate to the movie in that my best friend is very important to me, and I would be devastated if she was gone. I never cry in movies, so even though I felt sad, I was almost excited at this “accomplishment”. When I think back, I remember that the theater was filled with younger, elementary-aged children. When I was crying, I could hear them behind me saying things like, “Look, that girl is crying”, and later on, “Man, that girl is still crying!” I felt kind of silly once the lights came back on and I had to wipe my face to dry it off, but I was also filled with joy as I thought about the story my brother and I would always remember. The first time I cried in a movie, on our brother sister night.
