"Don't worry, Susie, he's alive and well; it's surrounded by a perfect world," Dad said. There are clean and white clouds floating in the pure sky, the breeze is blowing, the golden wheat fields rustling in the warm wind, the elderly and children walk, work, and play... But even such a perfect piece The world, because of the obsession of the world, I do not want to set foot. - Susie

"Lovely Bones" is a movie recommended by a friend. When I first saw the title, I thought it was just a movie with a slightly favorable taste. After I spent two hours watching it carefully, I was instantly ashamed of my arbitrariness. The film tells the story of a 14-year-old girl who was raped, killed and dismembered by a serial killer, and what she saw and felt after her death.

Destiny changes, often making fun of people. Susie is an optimistic, upbeat and delicate girl. When she received the first invitation from the boy she had a crush on, she was killed. For many people, it was just a normal day, but for every day For relatives who are waiting for their daughter and sister to return home from school as usual, what was an ordinary day has turned into a day of grief. The father who loves her the most can't do it by himself. He searches for her like a madman and finds the murderer. A day, a week, a month, a year... When the sadness fades and life continues to move forward, Susie is gradually forgotten by her relatives, friends and lovers. In the world of the soul, Susie watches the murderer at large and wants to kill again, watching her beloved The boy meets a new lover, but there is nothing he can do. She was crying, sad, restless, furious, hated. Only her father, the one who loves her the most, has never given up looking for the murderer, and even lights a lamp to guide her, guide her home, and become the backing she perseveres in the soul world.

It is often said that because of deep love, the loved one cannot bear to be hurt. When Susie saw that her father was accidentally injured in the hospital because of her, her mother ran away, and the whole family was on the verge of breaking up, she found that because of her obsession, her loved ones could not be happy and happy, so she began to reflect, explore, and wake up. In the end, Susie decided not to be persistent. She wanted to go to the paradise of the golden wheat field on the other side of the mountain to release her soul. When the obsession is put down, everything starts to move in the direction of light. The father cheers up again, the mother returns home, the younger sister grows up bravely on her behalf, and the kind girl loves the cherished boy instead of herself.

The ending of the movie is a little surprising. The murderer was not arrested and brought to justice as expected, but it makes people feel ridiculous. The escaped murderer was hit by an icicle falling from a tree on the way to escape and fell off a cliff. , does not end well, which is exactly the sentence "things change unpredictably".

Although we are always powerless in the face of too many things, we can make our own choices. To believe that this is still a wonderful world, with people we love and people who love us. For them, we have to go on bravely.
