Review on "The Lovely Bones" (Film)

Review:

    Peter Bradshaw, says that "The Lovely Bones" a startling story. "Its a mix of horrible and sickly-sweet in a ratio of one to eight". The lovely bones gives a pretty accurate picture of the afterlife. Bradshaw talks about the use of the term "my heaven" by Susie during the film. "Her spirit lives on, running desperately through the streets after the initial ­assault, ­unable at first to grasp that she is dead". This is a true statement. As you watch the film, it feels as though Susie is confused about her murder. She doesn't want to believe the fact that she is dead. When she focuses strongly enough, those who once knew her will feel her present. One example is her father and her little brother Buckley manage to see her just for a moment or feel her presents. Since Susie is in heaven, she is trapped in what she calls a "perfect world" just like the snow globe penguin that fascinated her as a baby in the beginning of the film. Peter Bradshaw says that it feels as though Jackson, the director of The Lovely Bones, has taken the meaning of heaven and "turned it inside out". In the film, ­instead creating a nightmare, he created a bland of "girly-sparkly" dream. I would definitely recommend this film to everyone. If you love suspend and tension, then The Lovely Bones is the right movie for you.
