The Lovely Bones

I recently watched a movie "The Lovely Bones". In my opinion I found this movie very moving in the sence that it showed the conept between life and death beautifully. It clearley showed the relations between the killer ( Mr. Harvery ) and Suzie. This movie takes off in the 1970's-1980's. An odd man named Mr . Harvey moves into town. Suzie takes her usuall route through the corn field to reach her house. This is when she has her first and last encounter with this man. Mr. Harvey slowley trys to lure in Suzie into an underground hole in which he supposedly made for the neighbourhood kids. Surely this sounds as a warm welcome to the 14 year old. So she follows Mr. Harvey into this hole where he starts a genuine talk with this girl. Suspision reaches Suzie when Mr. Harvey states that it's "Kinda hot in here". Taking off his coat Suzie realizes that something is offset about this man. Unsure what to do, Suzie sits a while hoping things will cool off. Matters just seem to get worse, and Mr. Harveys gestures seem to be striking on the "odd" side. Suzies attempts to escape but it ends in a failure. Mr. Harvey's adrenaline kicks in, the fear of his attack getting out into public, he grabs Suzie and pulls her down to where he brutally kills her. This is when the distress and depression hits the family. The whole story picks up from this point. The desperate search for Suzie has no impact on her. Justice does not come, and she is clearley dead, but her spirtit ( as some people may say ) watches her family'a desperate efforts to track her killer. She does not clearley see her family but theres certain objects in the movie that symbolize the moments she spent with her family. Her father had all the clues but could not put them together. He was determined to fufill the need to find the person responsible in killing his daughter. What really bothered me about this movie was that the detectives looked at all the wrong people. Like HELLO some man moved in next door and nobody has ever been killed before he moved there! Like why not look at the clues, they're infront of your faces. The Salmons kept telling the detectives that they suspect Mr. Harvey murdered Suzie....But NO he just could not listen to them. Maybe if the detectives looked into the case then Mr.Harvey would of been stopped before he moved onto his next victim. He's killed like over 10 people. What is he going to get away with it without any consequences? I guess that back then this was not made to be a big deal and society never experienced the death of a child caused by another human. So this movie made me realy think. What's better. The will to live on knowing that you know you did something wrong and still have the power to repeat your mistakes without regret. Or to live knowing that you admitted to your mistakes but still know that you destroyed the lives around you. As the movie said " I don't think he realized how much a father could love his daughter ". Maybe the concept of love never applyed to this man and he needed to bias his life on the misery of the people around him. Needless to say, this man never realized what he did wrong and yearned for the satisfaction of another murder. As I said this movie was moving, but it really made you think. What was better for Suzie....The fact that she realized how to let go of the ones she loved, or realize that her death had made her family have stronger ties, connecting them all in a way they could relate to eachother.
