Where are the bones?,

Preface: To live is to be happy, because we will be dead for a long time.


The structure of this film surprised me. Whether it's the plot or the special effects, every scene of the scene will make me have a special feeling. I haven't read much of this type. Because of the novel I read recently, there is a special plot for the story of the dead (—!), but the person in the novel is still alive by relying on the fetish. And in this movie, she actually died.
It's really hopeless to dictate as a dead person, because you knew from the beginning that she wouldn't survive. The beginning of the film is a very typical happy family, the grandmother is avant-garde fashion and open-minded, the parents are loving, and the children are lovely. Occasional noise is just an additive to life, and it doesn't hurt real feelings. The indirect confession of the object of his crush seems unexpected. Seeing Susie's absent-minded expression and trembling eyelashes, she must have been filled with joy. Senior, I think he looks very handsome, really, especially when he smiles. This life is too good to be broken, even though I know it will.
Well, the murderer wears gold-rimmed glasses, has thin hair, and is thoughtful. When you meet him for the first time, you will find that he has a kind smile and a polite manner. However, beasts in clothing. When Susie first rushed out of the underground hut, she met the supernatural girl once. At that time, the girl watched Susie running in a panic, but in the already foggy night, her body was actually glowing with something that did not belong to this world. The light is full of light, and it feels like it will disappear from the heavy cold air in the next second, which makes people feel a little dazed. It wasn't until I saw that the bustling streets were empty and my father who was close at hand disappeared completely in the next second, and I didn't realize that she was already dead.
The director did not reveal the process of the murderer's killing, and there is no need for this, because the despair of the family is more cruel than the perverted killing. Losing Susie, the whole happy family is facing collapse. The arrival of the stylish grandmother is a bright spot, adding a touch of dynamism to the film's heavy atmosphere. She made a mess of the house, and the scene made people laugh and cry. At that time, my father was devoted to finding the murderer. My mother lost Susie and the conflict between husband and wife sublimated. She was full of holes in her heart and decided to leave for a while. So fortunate to have this precious grandmother, this family is still a family.
The ever-changing fantasy special effects are another highlight of this film, I think. For a while, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers suddenly became brighter, and for a while, there were heavy and dark precursors to thunderstorms. Various dreamy scenes were presented in front of Susie like a revolving lantern. Accompanied by her good friend Holly, Susie had a great time here. This is an illusory realm, at the junction of heaven and earth, you can see anything you have never seen before, including the family you want to see. Huge glass bottles crashed against the coast in Susie's world, and that was the model that father was throwing them together. A broken sail is like a little hope in my father's heart. Susie often stayed in that pavilion. The pavilion symbolized father's love. It was the umbrella that her father gave her, but her father insisted on looking for the murderer under her idea, which left her scarred and the pavilion collapsed.
The brave sister sneaked into the murderer's house to find evidence. She had long suspected that this man who lived alone was very suspicious. Under an empty floor, there was a notebook with many records. One page contained a photo of her sister and a lock of hair. The evidence was conclusive. This part made my heart beat a lot faster, and I didn't dare to exhale, but fortunately, I wasn't caught by the murderer.
Obsession is difficult to change between heaven and earth, and there is nothing to hone the mind more than reluctance. You have to let go to get out. The reunited parents embraced again, and the sister hesitated not to show them the stolen evidence. The murderer finally died of an accidental fall from a cliff, and the death was more than guilt. Susie reunited with several other murdered children, and when she was about to go to heaven, she went to see the senior she liked. Possessed on the supernatural girl, looking at his eyebrows, she smiled happily, both of them knew that this was saying goodbye. Although it's only for a while, at least I don't have any regrets. The family is beautiful again. It is also a happy ending.

(PS: I don't understand why it's called Cute Bones, this movie has something to do with bones!!)
