Forget the book, just talk about the movie, Reivew on The Lovely Bones

Seeing the bad reviews for this film, I can't help but feel helpless.....because most of the bad reviews for it are based on the comparison with the original work. In fact, the director has done a good job. He has fully conveyed the original work. The theme is expressed, I think the change is not just like copying, the key lies in the expression of the theme or the idea, the change is a re-creation, the original story is just a shell The trade-off is completely based on the director's expressive needs, so I think changing a new one Angle, enjoy the adaptation as a different work, we will find more, newer beauty...
I like the editing style of the film, the first half (before the girl dies) is smooth, natural and realistic. The chaos in the second half can even be said to be a bit fragmented. There are many people who don't like the narrative style in the back and feel that it is procrastinating and confusing, but I feel that this comparison of the performance before and after is not the director's brain-crazy trick, but the performance of the family before and after. The state of life, originally happy, smooth and then desperate, broken.... If you look closely at this film, you can clearly find the director's sophistication, and the use of techniques is very handy and innovative.
Another highlight of this film should be its theme, about love and family. This kind of taste of strengthening feelings through a big family accident is generally more common, but its highlight lies in fantasy.... It adds a perspective that we can't touch and understand in our lives to interpret family love, which is very Innovative.
