This movie took a turn I wasn't expecting 😢
Such a traumatizing yet heartwarming movie. Both Jess and Leslie dealt with so much, yet they brought out the best in each other.
I remember when I saw it when I was a kid, it broke me so much that I cried for 2 hours after it ended. I didn't watch it until I was a teenager, and then I cried for 4 hours haahah. I really understood Jess a lot, and I felt a lot like Jess in my childhood, and I really thought it was so nice for him to get a Leslie, because I wanted a Leslie. So no wonder it made me tear like a maniac! It is such a good, and deep children's movie, they don't make movies like this anymore. Thank you for watching it, so I could watch with you!
I remember picking up the DVD for this back in the 'aughts and having the exact same reaction to the third act. I had only seen the trailer which made it out to be a tween imagination adventure. Having known nothing of the book it was based on, I did not see that coming, and just like you I was in a state of shock and bawling my eyes out by that point. It revealed this deep sorrow that I ultimately discovered to be not a reaction to the death pf the character, but rather a reaction to the death of my own childhood - nay, childhood itself. We who grew up with a rural disposition cherished those times in our life full of imagination and wonder, and it sometimes feels like that now, as adults, we are incapable of being in that place anymore. Life just killed it. So while yes, the shock of Leslie's death may have brought on the sadness, but something deeper is revealed as well. The knowledge that us and all the children we grew up and played with no longer have that feeling. And that's what is ultimately devastating.
You're NEVER too old for a "kids" movie imo, I'm also in my 30s btw...
i lost a friend suddenly when i was 14 and saw this movie a few years later. I was very surprised by the twist and it ripped my heart out, but helped so much because I was able to relate to Jess' character and what he was going through to process my own emotions. i don't know anyone who hasn't cried watching this 🥲
I love this movie so much, btw… this guy deserves more subs love his reactions
I reacted exactly the same way when I saw this many years ago
I remember reading the book in grade school. I was bawling my eyes out in the middle of class.
wow i cant thank you enough for reaction to this movie as soon as you said "imagine the rope breaking" i knew this was going to be a good reaction and this movie had such a big impact on me that when me, my older sister, and my younger brother where growing up on our family farm we found this little area at one of our creeks that had a little bridge made out of stones that we just randomly found and for a while we would all go play there those are some memories i can never forget and as someone who related to the main character in alot of aspects i think i get why it hits me so hard anyway i started a playlist for my favorite videos on yt (dont know why i havent done that since i started using yt like a decade or more ago lmao) and this will offically be the first video in it i love your reactions brother and just wanted to let you know i subcribed earlier in the day even before i decided to watch this and this has set my sub is stone
The film is based of a book. They changed the setting a bit to be more modern while’s the book took place in the 70s. The author wrote the book for her son who lost his friend, she was hit by lightning when she was 8 years old. David the son wrote the screenplay for the film.
I saw the film for the first time at my grandparents place and remember crying every time I watched it. I recently used the book and film for an assignment of how I could use it for teaching purposes, and I had to rewatch the film, I ended up crying the entire time at the end. Then I read the book thinking I would be fine. I was wrong, I cried during the last chapters, and I was feeling this dread because I knew what was coming. It was different from watching the film because you knew what Jess was thinking and it was so sad. He was in denial and got annoyed with everyone who spoke about Leslie like she was dead. The book also stated that Leslie was a strong swimmer, and that is part of the reason why Jess didn’t believe she was dead. I think it said something about how if Jess had been there and jumped in to save her he would most likely have drowned too, and that helped him to relive it wasn’t his fault.
Every time I watch this time I cry like it’s my first time watching the movie(I actually watched it when I was 7🫠)
5:07 yep..Well About that...😬
Man , my favorite movie , finally it gets attention from reaction channels :) i've even read a book . Definitely can recommend you more movies with Anna-Sophia Robb , she's the best in everything - but one gem as an example - Soul Surfer :)
Great movie and good commentary. I subscribed!
Great reaction!
I recommend rewatching this movie but this time look for foreshadowing. It will give you a deeper appreciation for the movie. In particular listen for the symbolism in Leslie's SCUBA diving report.
Keep in mind that foreshadowing can come through visuals like the bus driver's hat or the visual of seeing ketchup in Leslie's hair as well as references to death in casual conversations throughout the movie.
I was shown this movie by my grandma when I was like 10-11, traumatized the hell out of me, I've now recommended it to every one of my little sister's friends, and every time without fail, they come crying to me being like 'Why'd you recommend that to me?' (Yes, I'm evil (however my little sister didn't cry while reading the book or watching the movie so who's the real monster here? lol))
Year I lost my Dad.. Emotional times to say the least.
This is bad wrong but I wonder if Jess ever got a woody, cause you know he never got a chance to tell Leslie he loves her. And by the way, there's a fanfic called " 5 years later", if your wanting to hear a alternate timeline where she doesn't die, give it a read, pretty nice.
Love America anyway, screw the haters.
edit. Really surprised they didn't play hots for the teacher when jess went with miss Edmonds.
life lesson, reality's harsh. But you learn from people and keep moving forward to keep their memory alive.
small dogs bark the loudest.
Dude, I'm not saying don't curse and I'm not gonna matter, but that's life,lifes harsh.

bro
reacts to the film (IF ONLY 2004) thank you
You know, some people are coming up with theories that Leslie’s death wasn’t accidental: she was murdered. They think Ms. Edmunds did it because when she calls Jess, she looks like she’s speeding almost. And when Jess tells her they should invite Leslie, she looks scared. And she’s jealous of his relationship with Leslie because she’s a pedo who wants to groom Jess, and Leslie is in the way of that, and it would work out great since Jess already has a crush on her.
I also cried my eyes out even though it's cheesy
Torture because why did I just cry along with you during this reaction 🥲. Such a great film. It’s so sudden just like death truly is in real life.
Great reaction dude! One of my favourite movies. Such great character development, you're rooting for the relationship, you wish you had somebody like Leslie in your life, and then she's gone. I really wish they would make a sequel just for the sake of seeing what happens next.
Then the boy will grow up, become a screenwriter and write a film script for the film adaptation of a children's book written by his mother.
@@dreamfall77 fuck are you talking about?
@@DemonEmbarasser The events of the film are based on real events.
@@dreamfall77 Um... I know? Your first comment was way out of context lol. Were you drunk? My comment had nothing to do with the *real life* person who the story wa about.
@@DemonEmbarasser You wrote that you were wondering what happened next. If the events of the story are based on real events, then the sequel should be the same. Or did you want to know what happened there immediately after the end of the first part?
