"The Lovely Bones" is a recent drama film that has been released around the world and has been included in the list of movies watched by the British royal family. It should be said that in today's film market where gore and thrillers are popular, such films with psychological and profile descriptions are rare, not to mention some of the descriptions of the soul world. The pure definition is obviously not so accurate.
The tone of the whole movie is between dark and bright, sometimes it is a positive portrayal of the happy and plain daily life of a family, and sometimes it is accompanied by the change of the music, and it turns to describe some dark side plots. The transition between the two is very Naturally, the plot is like floating in the microwave, sometimes tight and sometimes soothing. I have to say that the director has grasped the rhythm very well.
In fact, the movie is neither scary nor thrilling. All the bloody and terrifying plots are basically hidden perfectly. In this way, Susan has changed from a living girl to a persistent soul. Rather than telling a story, the director is interpreting his understanding of death and love in his own way.
Because of her nostalgia for the world, Susan did not go to heaven with other souls, but stayed in the place where it intersected with the real world, compiling a beautiful dream with her own imagination and thoughts. At the same time, when her father smashed the model, there were also huge models in her world that crashed on the reef and shattered their bones. This not only shows that she has never been far from the life of her relatives, but also reflects the resentment of people living for her. People constantly feel that she seems to be around, but it is out of reach. Finally, they realize that letting go Don't give up, you can move on with your life. Her mother is conflicted about missing and forcing herself to forget, and finally chooses to escape from reality away from home, her father is paranoid searching for the murderer, and her energetic grandmother is trying to get the whole family back together. . Life is finally on the right track, the dead are gone, and the living people must continue to struggle for life.
The highlight of the film is the use of a lot of computer stunts to perfectly connect the fragments of the story. Before she was killed by the murderer, what ran out of the cellar was actually her soul, and she had been dead since then, and then observed the world from the perspective of a soul. She longed to go home, longed to find her family, but just like a blurred image through a thick layer of glass. Then, what happened to her in that strange world was even more surprising. No one can say what the world after death will look like, but the director gave us his understanding.
A girl who observed her family from a distance, she had to leave her family, and silently faded out of their lives with the passage of time. The whole film is conveying this meaning to us: no family member has really left us. As long as the love is there, they are there.
As for the murderer who had been in the dark, he still failed to hide his sins in the end. Susan's blood connection with her family eventually made her family realize something, but as the movie progresses we realize, 24 rolls of film, one roll a month, then by the time dad realizes everything, time has passed two years. The impulsive father chose revenge. But Susan looked at her father from a distance and finally understood that revenge was not the solution.
As a first-line director, Peter Jackson rarely deals with such low-budget drama films. Compared with "King Kong", "Lovely Bones" touches the deepest emotions in people's hearts more. It should be said that this film is a brave attempt by him, and it has indeed brought us another spiritual shock. The warmth, thrills, and brilliance of humanity in the film are worthy of our good taste.
