The Lovely Bones [Blu-ray]

The movie has its graphic moments, which was the reason I turned off the movie midway. However, the depictions of the afterlife and Saroise's soul penetrating eyes got me watching the movie again after reading the spoiler in wikipedia. The second time around I saw details and screenplay that I completely missed on the first viewing. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The plot gave us a good message in the midst of tragedy, namely healing begins with moving on. The screenplay was full of unexpected twists and turns. For instance, the movie watcher did not even know the antagonist of the story died until 3 scenes later when the antagonist sees her murder soaking in a bathtub.The acting --- it was beyond compare. Saroise Ronan (Susie) had a way of looking at you that utterly penetrated our soul. Her facial expressions were nothing short of magical - the watcher can read her every emotion and can't help but feel compassion for her. How can a 13 year old portray so perfectly such grave subject matter? I wanted to cry every time she cried. Wow. The murderer had the perfect look. He gives you goose bumps just by his slow and deliberate actions and his almost emotionless face - fitting of someone with no conscience. Perfect portrayal of a serial killer.The symbolism - they are everywhere - the gondola, the candle, the tree of life, the bracelet, the safe, the iceicle, the sinkhole - just to name a few. But you'd miss them if you watch the movie just once. Along with the message of the movie, these symbols glue the plot elements together in a way I have never seen in any other movie. Focus especially on the icicle, the gondola and the sink-hole. Watch the movie twice and you'll see what I mean.The message. Regardless of your faith, the movie has some positive messages behind an otherwise tragic plot.- healing begins with moving on- to move on once must confront one's fears and confront reality- our loved ones live on in our memories, but don't let it be a barrier to moving onOverall, despite the critics' negative reviews, I think it is an extremely well acted out movie with an exceptional screenplay built on a surprising plot that manages to portray healing and growth after tragedy. It is a phenomenal movie. Just watch it more than once. Better yet, read wikipedia and then watch it.

This is definitely an underrated movie! It had me in tears but such a beautiful and sad story.
