Lovely Bones
Last night was movie night, hubby likes movies a lot, I am not one who likes it but I will go with him. Just to make him happy, funny he hardly goes hiking with me to make me happy, maybe this summer I am going to be get deet on and lets go do something I enjoy. But lets do a KVM switch back to the movie, Lovely Bones. My hubby told me one the way home that the director of this movie was the same one who did Lord of the Rings, and he hasn’t done much since done, he started and stop projects. Well I think I know why he hasn’t done much since Lord of the Rings, because not many good movies have came out, he does well at picking good movies with out a bunch of language and violent scenes are done tastefully or as tasteful as possible.
Lovely Bones was about a 14 yr old girl who was murdered by her neighbor, I guess he enjoyed killing people. She was involved in school and the typical well behaved child, who sometimes didn’t get along with her parents, but it seemed she had a better relationship them most children her age. Well neighbor guy built a trap but I won’t say where or what kind of trap and got her done there. The scene lift your imagination to figure out what exactly happened to her, but you knew he killed her. I will say here heaven is nothing like the real heaven. I don’t think G-d would make a murder victim have to meet all the people he killed in the way they was killed. But it was still good. It was sad in some places.
She had to pick between revenge on the guy or healing for her family, this would be hard to choose from because being murdered is a great violation to the person and I think most would want revenge for a time. I know I probably would, but in the movie it showed that revenge wasn’t hers. In a way I am glad it showed this, because so many Hollywood movies are about gaining the revenge and having no consequences.
I will have to say that this is the best movie I have ever seen in this type of movie. It was done tastefully. In the end when his other victims where given names, and faces it was done tastefully and you learned exactly what kind of murder he was. I will admit my husband and I both felt more revenge then what the guy got in the end would have been nice or seeing what some of his death was like would have been nice, but honestly the movie was not about what he deserve but more of the story of the child family.
I would not recommend this movie for young children. Seriously new parents stop bring your crying babies to movies find a sitter that what they are for.
