> Bridge to Terabithia is one of those movies that haunts me to this day even now as an adult.

The film teaches viewers about death. It teaches the pain of loss and devastation you feel. Having your psyche immunized / desensitized by fiction can make your psyche stronger when similar situations arise in your life.

Your parents will die, your spouse and/or children will die, you will die. We may not like to think about it but all this is inevitable. All these events can damage your psyche.

Consider the film a vaccine to prepare your psyche cope with dire life situations. By watching the film you are making a trade: short-term pain for long-term gain.

> Incredibly beautiful movie
