I'm not one to cry easily, but I still cried even though I already knew it was coming! It's just so sad!!

Almost...
I don't know, how did I, but there were no tears.
But almost...
Not bawling but crying yup...Who couldn't cry at the thought of beautiful and enchanting Leslie dying like that. I love the movie but I hate that Leslie dies - it bothers me every time.
shareI agree. Good movie, but it's very upsetting.
shareit made me sad..not afraid to admit it...well at least not on here lol
shareI did and still do sometimes. I still feel the blood drain from my head when Jess's dad tells him about Leslie dying.

Just watched it with my oldest and fell to pieces. It's tough stuff, especially when you consider that it's a kid's movie.
shareHow IS this a kids movie anyway? You have a good story about a boy who makes friends with a girl, and they make up a magical world called Terebithia, and everything goes well....then all of the sudden, you hear "Your friend Leslie is dead." Shocking!
It's not a kid's movie.

You're right about that.
shareI just saw it on BBC1 after hearing about it's sadness and I did cry too..

Yea I was watching it on BBC 1. I was watching it with my brother so I had to try with all my might not actually let any tears come out but it was really sad... I might have to watch it again on my own so I can cry to my hearts content, lol.
I'm engaged to a great dane
Weird actually, when you think about it, people who feel ashamed for having emotions, well maybe someday the ideal of turning everyone into senseless robots will be accomplised *Shivers*
The silence is deafening!
i did. and it's not strictly speaking a "kids" movie, more a family movie with powerful emotional content
shareI was gonna let it all out but then my mam came in to put away some clothes which ruined the effect lol.

Ha what a nightmare! I've not been caught doing that before :D though when I finished watching the Elephant Man I had to run into the bathroom and lock the door incase she came up :P

AGH! The first time I watched this movie, I watched it with my whole family and they all totally ruined it for me. But I finally just watched it again, in peace, and cried like a baby. I loved the very last shot of Leslie. I thought they did that really well. That's when I first teared up. And then I basically cried from when Jess's dad told him she'd died to the end of the movie. :)
But AnnaSophia makes me cry in every movie she's in (except maybe Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, actually, no, I cry there too). But seriously, she's incredible.
Great movie.

yeah, I'm not long after watching it on BBC1 and had knew nothing about the movie before hand, so your damn right it made me cry, how could you not even cry a little at such a sad event in a movie.
shareyeah, got to put my hand up here!
I quite often find myself getting more into movies than the people around me, and I seem to feel more emotion towards the characters than most do, but regardless of how cold your heart is, this movie has to pull your heartstrings!
So sad, and so well directed!
Beautiful film
me too, i'm a girl and i usually cry in most movies, but this movie hit me HARD! i couldn't stop crying as soon as i realised that she was dead, i still kept secretly hoping that it wasn't true. i cried hard and the type that hurts in your throat.
but even after the movie ended and as i was reading other people's reactions on here, i still had tears streaming down my face. like someone mentioned here - it feels like a real person died.
after learning the motivation behind the author's desire to write this story, made it even more real. I just keep thinking what a beautiful, enchanting, kind and fun girl Leslie was, i know she's a fictional character, but still makes me feel very sad that she died. like someone else mentioned, its a mixture of emotions, sad for Jess for losing a best friend, he was having so much fun with her in the forest, sad for her parents, losing such an amazing daughter, guilt for Jess not inviting her along and going to the museum instead. this movie has definately touched my heart, and will stay with me for a very long time. i don't think i will be able to watch it again though, i dont think i could take going through all of that again. it's too heart wrenching. This film broke my heart.
