Fortunately there is heaven

In 2002, when "Lovely Bones" was published, it immediately triggered a reading boom in Europe and the United States. It was listed by the "Guardian" as one of the "100 Indispensable Books in Life", which can be compared with books like Pride and Prejudice. In the same column, its quality is naturally fascinating. At the same time, how can such a popular book escape the attention of the producers. It is said that it is extremely difficult to adapt the style of this book to the film. However, when Peter Jackson is in charge of the director, many readers of the original book are relieved, so that they have not read it. Care. Thinking about the trust in Peter, it seems to go with the flow. The "Lord of the Rings" series was also included in the "Guardian" book list. Peter was able to adapt the book to the box office for the film adaptation, Oscar ascended the throne, and the original readers The waiters are quite satisfied, and it is indeed rare in the history of film adaptations of famous works. Compared with "The Lord of the Rings", "Lovely Bones" does not have so many complicated clues. Compared with the depiction of Middle-earth, the depiction of paradise seems to be a matter of imagination and basically no technical problems. I also wait for Peter the Great to take advantage of the trend. One city. However, as soon as the film came out, it seemed quite embarrassing. The general trend of the comments can only be said to be "good". This is obviously not a compliment for a character like Peter, not to mention the dissatisfaction of the original readers. Is Peter the Great really counted? Did you miss it?

For me, maybe because I haven't read the original work, I feel that there are still many highlights in this movie, and the overall emotions are also very touching, but it also feels not delicate enough, especially after seeing it, I am quite puzzled, "Bone" , Where are "bones" and why are they called "bones"? After reading some people's introduction to the original work, I have a clearer understanding. From this, I understand why readers of the original work are dissatisfied with the emperor. The plot and atmosphere of the movie are the kind I like, with a touch of literary sadness. The tragic death of the 14 girl Susie is indeed touching and sad. She has a cute appearance, clear eyes, and dreams in her heart. Unfortunately, she is watching On the eve of dating the lover of her dreams, she was brutally murdered and thrown into chaos in the lives of her family, her friends, and others related to her. Susie is at the junction of heaven and earth, full of doubts, fears, and unwillingness. Watching the murderer at large, her family crying bitterly, and her lover silently sorrowing, this kind of unsatisfying feeling makes the living audience easy to have emotional resonance. Bei Dao once wrote in a poem, “Who wants to be a meteorite, or an icy statue of a victim, watching the unquenchable fire of youth, passing in the hands of others”, and how can Susie watch herself become a family member The pictures of the tribute, even the whereabouts of the body are unknown, and there is no tombstone. The world of the dead built by Peter Jackson is still extremely dreamy and magnificent, and at the same time it is emotionally connected to the real world. For example, Susie’s father broke a bottle with a model ship in grief, and his father smashed it in pain. The wife's desperate eyes were accompanied by the tragic stranding of boats in a bottle in the fantasy world, and Susie's helpless cry. The yin and yang of the two worlds complement each other, vividly showing the destruction of a family by a murder. As the boat in a bottle ran aground, the family’s life also ran aground. With the family’s fragmentation, Susie was unwilling to be reconciled between the world and the paradise. From Susie's dream, murder, to the breaking of the family, Peter Jackson still showed a story full of tension and emotions full of impact, which made people feel heartbroken for the victim and family after a tragedy.

But, unfortunately, when showing warmth and revival of life at the back of the film, Peter Jackson looked a little weak. Susie’s world is still dreamlike, and it makes people think that if such a world really exists, death would not seem so terrible, but even in such a world, the kind of separation from familiar people, the kind of loneliness The pain of death still makes death--especially such a tragic death--still palpitating. And the weakness behind Peter Jackson is here. Susie’s emotional bond with reality is weakened. Susie looks at the suffering of her relatives like watching a 3D movie, but the emotional communication between the two worlds is not as good as the previous grief. The coming is moving, which also makes the film not show the taste of "a family is like a human skeleton, even if one piece is broken or missing, the skeleton will eventually grow." However, there are some highlights in this part. For example, Susie’s sister turned to the murderer’s house to check the diary part. On the one hand, she gently turned page by page, while the murderer downstairs slowly noticed. The slow motion brought a lot of tension. . In the end, Susie realized the extraordinary beauty of a shot. The victims walked out of the nightmare and rushed to heaven with a smile. She possessed her soul and kissed her sweetheart, which left a romantic romance with the beauty of regret. The whole film still has a strong warmth, a taste of a literary film, after the heinous crime, it brings people calm, warm, and makes people feel precious and lovely in life. Even if the murderer is punished, it's not that kind of happily mindedness. Life still has to go on. Regret has happened. What should be taken forward or that step should be taken, and what should come is still coming, whether it is rebirth or punishment.

If you are not a reader of "Lovely Bones", this movie should not be as embarrassing as the media reviews, or the Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB score (in my opinion, the current 6.8 score is quite embarrassing for Peter Jackson). . See how the dead and the living get out of the quagmire under a tragedy, see how beautiful the heaven is, see how the performance of Saoirtha Ronan, whose acting skills have advanced to the next level, is really emotional, this work by Peter Jackson There is still a lingering aftertaste. For example, I have a strong interest in the original book, so I should come and read it.
