Synopsis: Susie Salmon, a young girl who has been murdered, watches over her family -- and her killer -- from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.
Starring: Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Michael Imperioli
Directed by: Peter Jackson
U.S. Rating: PG-13
A very entertaining film but confusing at the same time. Peter Jackson tried to adapt the famous novel into a film that missed some significant details trying just to compress all the content into the script and deliver as much emotions as he could. No matter what, it was a colorful and imaginary story, supported by an amazing cast and direction.
While I was watching this film, I couldn't stop thinking on the films The Invisible (Justin Chadwin) and What Dreams May Come (Robin Williams). You might ask... Why? Well, On the film The Invisible, Nick Powell (Justin Chadwin) is attacked by a few guys and is being left hurt to death, forcing him to walk and live in that intermediate area between "Earth and Heaven", watching everyone and not being seen. His job was trying to help the people involved in his life and incident to help him to be found and saved. On the film What Dreams May Come, Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams) dies and stays in an imaginary and extremely colorful world and he shows the importance of decisions and the consequences of these decisions through the story shown on this film.
This is exactly what happens in The Lovely Bones. It is about Susie Salmon, a young 14-year-old girl who is murdered by her neighbor in a terrible incident and she gets trapped in between "Earth and Heaven" trying to help her father and family to find her killer and make them coup with their sadness and move on with their lives.
The Lovely Bones offers a good and complex material, attempts to engage people's emotions through a really interesting, colorful and imaginative story. I personally loved it, so I'm more than confident to recommend it to everyone who wants to watch a very imaginative drama/suspense film with an amazing cast.
By the way, I recommend also the two other movies mentioned on this review :)
What did I like from this movie?
1. The cast involved was great and really enjoyable. In fact, Stanley Tucci's performance has been highly recognized for his role in this film
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. People might get lost or find it a little bit weird if they're not paying full attention to the story, since it is complex, mixing images and situations from both worlds, the imaginary world where Susie is living in, and the real world where everyone else is living at the moment
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
