That's right, the girl next door, Leslie, who suddenly appeared in front of Jesse, the peasant boy, should be an angel just because of this moving and pure beauty at first glance. The director of The Chronicles of Narnia, which is also a magical film, is far more moving than the former. At least, he chose a moving and beautiful heroine. Anyway, the main reason for recommending the two big boys in this film to me is almost the only reason - the heroine is very beautiful. This is a very special film. The people who watched it liked the heroine from the first sight and liked this movie, and then fell in love with this angelic girl, Lesilie, even more in the shuttle of this movie.
I don’t know if it’s a reflection of Western society or because of stories. Introverted and peculiar children have become the common targets of being excluded and bullied in schools. Boys in Ben X, even Japanese kids are treated like that in All About Lily Zhou, and Jesse in Bridge of Wonderland is no exception. Different from everything in "Lily Week", "Bridge to Wonderland" follows a road of redemption and growth for teenagers. At home, he did not feel much family warmth from his father, and treated his younger sister with indifference as if venting his dissatisfaction from his father. He only had a hobby of painting and a desire to become the fastest runner. Let him spend his daily silent time in painting and running - his life is silent. After meeting Leslie, exactly after Leslie shared with him the secrets of the kingdom of Terabithia in the jungle behind her house, after swaying through the emblematic river of boundaries and valves, Jesse began to change , began to grow. The warmth of this friend from Leslie brought not only the warmth of a young heart, but also a key to open his heart, opening the door for him to jump out of the drowsy life in the past. Time and time again, enter the world that the two of them "discovered" together: explore this magical land together, build their secret base, discover magical creatures, and leave no time to fight against bad monsters. A "weird guy" who is also in the eyes of other classmates finds joy and freedom to put aside many troubles.
It has not been stated clearly whether this magical land exists in the "real world" of the movie story, maybe it is just a fantasy land that Lesilie brought to Jesse. Is it this little girl who just moved from the city and also feels lonely in this small town to find a fantasy to fill that loneliness? Give up after thinking about speculation. After all, this has nothing to do with the center of the story, as long as you understand that it is this piece of land that brings a burst of happiness to the two children; this girl brings a different kind of memory to this boy, his Life begins to take a different course - and that's enough, we can confirm that this teenage girl is Jesse's angel. As the book's author Katherine Paterson's original intention was changed from this film: just to write a book for his then 11-year-old son, let the girl in the book become his angel and accompany him through childhood. It's just that she didn't expect that now Lesilie is not only the angel of Jesse, or the angel of her son, she is already the angel of many people who are familiar with this story.
So there is no need to worry about whether this girl with the smiling face of an angel really died in that accident? After all, she's an angel, and angels don't stay on earth for long - she just chose a special moment to leave Jesse, the boy she didn't think she needed so much anymore, and like all angels return to heaven, she was there for him disappeared from the world. And he took his sister to the country called Terabithia again, and let the movie end in a dreamy and gorgeous world - indeed Jesse can also bring his sister a fairy tale kingdom, so he no longer needs Lesilie this angel.
Angels do not live in the mortal world. Lesilie, the angel-like girl next door, may appear in a corner of the earth, in front of someone, even if it has never appeared in our world, but it will always be in our hearts.
