I read the book and watched the movie. Though, I think the movie here was a lot better. What has me siding with the movie for The Lovely Bones was one of two things. I don't really care for rape scenes but I can deal with them but that isn't it. In the movie, Susie possesses Ruth, so she can finally have her first kiss with Ray.
In the book, Susie possesses Ruth, so she can use her body to fuck Ray repeatedly in her apartment while Ruth is unconscious.
I watched the movie for the very first time like a year ago & it made me cry & I loved it! I got the book Wednesday & finished it today all I can say is its really good . I did notices some differences in the movie it doesnt show when Mr. Harvey rapes her or that Susie's mom has an affair with Len & some other stuff they didnt show but , in conclusion I love the movie & the book .
The book was really bad I read it before the movie and it was soo long and boring and the storyline was like a high school kid writing for an english exam, the movie made it alot better the director is a genius
lol i watched the film first because it was on tv and i was like HAVE TO read the book lolz so i did and i was like...Woah...so different lol- both are good though :)
The guy is is so cute in the lovey bones unfortunate we don't get to learn more about him and u know what i just realized he looks a lot like the guy from teen wolf don't ya recon?
Director Peter Jackson wanted to make an adaptation that would be appropriate for his daughter to watch--so an R-rating was out of the question. With all the senseless violence portrayed in films today, it's refreshing to watch films in which such grotesque scenes contained in the book version are implied in the film instead of graphically depicting it. And yes--Saoirse Ronan is one of the best actresses Generation Z--along with Chloe Moretz, Dakota Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld.
i saw the movie first and i am now in the process of reading the book.. when i first saw the movie i loved it.. i do agree that you should watch the movie first.
Rose McIver, who played Lindsey, is very sadly overlooked. She took this character who didn't have much screentime compared to the others and made her shine anyway.
i've read the book and seen the movie.... i thought the movie was great, but the book was much better.... i actually felt more emotions with the book than with the movie....still, great adaptation though :)
Just finished reading the book.. I do believe that the movie has captured the essence of the book.. I disagree that the movie didn't do justice with the adaptation.. It is complete as u cannot put everything in the book to the film. Kudos to the film! Kudos to Peter and the rest of the cast. most esp. to saoirse! i cannot imagine anyone better to portray susie salmon than her.
I hated soo much that they never would find Susie's bones. I cried and cried after this movie. And It was very scary when the older sister was in the muderers house and he was in there..what would he do if he found her when she was laying on his grass (probably sprained her ankle) it was daylight..!!!
@RawrTara52 He would have killed her too..When I saw her on the grass and Mr. Harvey that was downing (I'm not english, I hope it is correct what I wrote) the stairs I said: "Oh no! he kills her too?? that family is so unlucky!" Fortunately she lives. I would be happier if they would have caught him e put in prison..damn pedophile!!!!!!!!!!!
@RawrTara52 Mr. Harvey is the man who lives in the green house, with glasses, moustache, and those ice eyes so freaky!!!.He murders her in the cornfield at the back of the school!!! In the hole he built under the earth!!!!!!!!!!
1St time i saw the movie i watched it again like 3 times than i read the book in 3 days! both are awsome but i absolutely liked the movie way better:)
Considering this wasn't wrote out to be a movie, they did a REALLY good job making this in to a movie. It was exciting to see how they played with it.
I imagine some people actually use their imagination for that. Anyway, many of the characters were described diffently in the books I felt. for one, Susie was more 'average' looking in the book...that way people can identify more with her.
@seraphiccandy21 The book was boring, id didnt made my cry etc. Here it's different. Great actors; nearly everything is great here. Usually i thought the books are aleays better than the films, but since i've watched this film i know it's different.
i watched the movie first, and was COMPLETELY blown away... By far my favorite movie of all time... INSPIRATIONAL. and the book... i read it after, but it too was absolutely AMAZING. WHAT A SUCCESS :)
Just watched the movie today and ordered the book the second it was over. Cried for an hour and then for another hour on my husband's shoulder. One piece of advice: if you are a girl - do not watch that movie during PMS. Have to agree with some of the comments - this is the scariest and most traumatizing movie I've seen in my life. I can't believe it's not rated R.
@poodtang1 so true! i am ten and i saw the movie and after that i read the book for some stupid reason and then i was only like 30 pages into the book and i was scarred for life
@ECGELSV In the book Susie was raped, murdered and dismembered. Susie's mom cheated on her father with the detective who was investigating her murder THEN she abandoned her family. One thing I can point out is the scene in the movie where the detective said they found blood, in the book they found an elbow. The book was darker and more graphic.
i watched this at a sleepover with loads of friends and we assumed the family would come in at last minute and get the safe with her body in. But they didn't and we were moaning about it all night. What an amazing film though, I will remember it forever. Such an amazing cast too!
i watched the movie i thought it was great and sick at the same time i am the father of a murdered daughter unlike the movie our monster was her boyfriend wo stabbed our daughter in the the heart and through her in a drainage ditch for 6 mo.suntil 2 hunters found her in the movie it shows the girl in heaven welcoming the murdered children thats how i thought of our daughter i left the room and cried for 10 min
The ending would be better if they find her body in the end and her father finds him and beats him brutally until hes unconscious. Then he would pure gasoline all over him. Lightning up the matches. And before he sets him on fire he will say " You are gonna pay your price" "This is what you get for doing this to my daughter and your other victims" He throws the matches, and then he is set on fire. Then he screams " aaaaaaah!!!!!!!! to death. Then he goes to hell, and everyone cheers. The end
great comment i have an essay to write about it and i gonna put ur comment their for fun, but what u didnt think about is why the dad would say you are gonna pay........ after beating him UNCONSCIOUS , and how would he yell.
im currently reading the book now and im only on chapter 3 and i saw the movie a year ago when i was 11 and wouldent go up the stairs by myself. LoL. the movie was fantastic and very mysterious. i recommend it to anybody!
I read the book and it had so many parts that were not included in the movie like the rape and the mother and the detective .... I think the boom was a lot better than the movie
i personally did not like the movie...yes i'm gonna be cliche and say i read the book first and the book was better...but peter jackson doesn't always have to be so 'fantastic' i think all the effects and unnecessary 'coolness' was a waste and took away from the actual story. the book was magical in itself without having that bright almost insufferably obnoxious visual 'aid'.
Okay, I understand giving an interview is difficult (I'm not a public speaker by any means) but we'd all understand if you need to slow down and think about what your going to say, hell, say "um" every other word like me, just quit stuttering like an autistic 10 year old
So, basically the book left out all the sexual aspects. The rape, her mother's affair, how she saw her sister and her sister's boyfriend having sex, and how when she took over Ruth's body she had sex with Ray.
@pockychan0102: How can you even comment when you haven't read the book?! duh. The title of this video is BOOK vs Movie. Hello. Anybody home?! This movie was made for 6-10 year olds. Made me want to puke. RUINED by dumb a*s Peter Jackson!!
The movie was terrible. Nothing like the book. They watered down the book and made it into a "G"-rated kiddie movie about "living in the in between world" if you are murdered. OMG. Really?! Seriously?! Horrible on so many levels. They writer and director destroyed the beauty and heartbreak of the book and turned it into a piece of crap. Don't waste 2 hours.
You may or may not have seen the Poseidon Adventure (1972 the original ) or liked it. But the book and the movie were also very different. I liked the book way more then the movie as the book had a lot more in it that the movie left out completely.
Do you also find that most movies are quite different from the books they come from.
It actually really pisses me off if they are going to make a movie about the book make it verbatem.
one of my favorite things about the book and movie is that the killer is killed by the very thing that susie said would be a good murder weapon both where good although the book made me cry more then the movie (yeah I'm a crybaby) the book was a little better but the film overall was great I recommend both
loved the movie n novel as well but i dont knw y they didnt showed they strong bond of father-daughter in movie as was in the novel...in novel she had strongest connection with her dad n half ov the nove infact more than half ov the novel was abt father m daughter ....but in movie it was not.....still movie is a must watch
I guess when it comes to movie adaptation it is not necessary to follow the way it was told in the book. Knowing also the fact that the story was told in a flash back form. The Book is great and the movie was also great. That's it! Its the Art of the Director.
i think he's right, the books always go into more description, the film did'nt even tell how she died properly. But i really loved the film and book, (i say always read the book first, that way when you watch the film you'll know what happens if it skips parts) all of the characters have more description in the book, also, several or more of the characters were not mentioned in the film..
I read the book before i saw the film, and ... i liked them both very much ... I agree, some things just loose themselves in teh movie, some importaint informaition obout the characters are left behind. I dont think its a bad thing, somehow the movie is more obout Susie, and the book is very focused on the family and friends she left behind. It is a different perspective. Also, i belive the movie is very emotional, while the book, for me, was more simple and direct.
The Lovely Bones movie was OK... I think that the movie was so long that they couldn't fit everything in-they missed a lot of things from the book, like Susie's mother Abigail has an affair on her husband with Len (the cop). It also didn't really make it clear that she was raped before she was killed. And even the little details, like when Holly talks she has an accent when she shouldn't, annoy me. Sorry for the movie lovers. I didn't really like it. I think that everyone should read the book!
@SugarBabySugar I have never read the book. But I have watched the movie, and I knew right away she was raped... you know, because Mr. Harvey WAS acting really akward...
@SugarBabySugar Or that Buckley grew up and Lindsey got a boyfriend/fiance. Or that her mom came back because her dad had a heart attack or that susie got to be with ray 1 last time through ruth. if they wouldve done the whole book in the movie i wouldve given it a 5/5, not a 3/5 even though i liked the movie.
@SugarBabySugar i read the book before watching the movie & i found it a bit too much for my age but the movie was a lot more decent & i liked it more!
I saw the movie then read the book and agree with pretty much all the reviewer had to say. I think the inbetween is reaslised much better in the film and Rachel Weisz's character is underused but it's interesting how much of the book is in the movie even though it's not focused upon - Abigail in particular.
I can understand fans of the book may have been disappointed with the movie because a lot of depth cannot be transposed across.
this movie was incredible!! the book was great too. The movie didnt scare me but one night I had a nightmare that i transformed into susie and I tried to exploit mr harvey but he just chased me then he grabbed me then I woke up. yeah pretty scary.
@Habubachu true. but i love how in the book suzie talks alot about how an icesickle would be the perfect murder weapon because the evidence melts away
@Jleeluvxxx I KNOW!!!! at first I was like when is he gonna get captured but then att he end of the book he dies then I was like..hmm this is much better lol.
@stardusth2o Dear lord im happy i didnt have that nightmare and uhh the book is so good i love how he just falls and dies. Totally wishing that there was more of the book in the movie though.
@crackerjack9292 Agree, when you watch the movie first it's hard to read the book after cause they are so different. like twilight.. Its WAY DIFERENT..
My main problem with the book and movie is the lack of poetic justice in terms of what happens to Mr. Harvey. His death was too quick, and I wanted to see him end up in Hell, but the question of his soul is never answered.
@SpongyOLlama I think you missed the point. The story is about Suzie's life and how it affected her family and friends. Her murder wasn't important in the end and like she says 'everyone dies'.
The nature of the afterlife is not explained in the movie and we don't know what happened to Harvey when he died. Maybe he went to another version of heaven. At the end of the day Suzie had a much more important and fulfilling life than Harvey did.
Personally, having read the book AFTER I saw the film, i lovedd the movie but the book was more graphic and descriptive. Perhaps it should have been taken into consideration to keep the graphic-ness in some scenes in the movie as they were written....it would have made it even MORE suspenseful
I give the movie a thumbs up for the visual effects but as for following the book... I thought Peter Jackson could do a better job. He did a good job with the Lord of the rings, so I thought the movie will be great, but I was kind of disappointed. He should've had more of Lindsey scenes in the movie and tried to get the events and timeline correct. For example when Lindsey breakes into Harvey's house. Wrong time compared to other events and what Lindsey took was incorrect.
It's really funny when people say 'oh the book was so much better'
Well duh... it's a book, it's meant to move your mind way more.
Movies are a totally different thing and they cannot, by any means, ever be the same as the book because they would be veeery long.
I'm so glad I saw the movie and then read the book. It's a magical film and the performances were amazing (most). I feel people who get obsessed about books and then criticize movies are actually missing out on really appreciating film
The Lovely Bones movie is a PERFECT example of why the book is better. There's a difference between adapting a book and then completely butchering it. Jackson not only sanitized the movie but he also removed even the littlest things like Abigail's contempt for motherhood and Lindsey's struggle to get out of her sister's shadow. Oh, and don't forget Susie's "in between" wasn't supposed to resemble What Dreams May Come. Where's her duplex?
@dodgesebring yeah they would be. there was a Stephen King book that was made into a movie and he didn't want the people who were making it a movie to mess it up by taking out details so it ended up like 6 hours long.
susie actually got raped in the bok but they didn't show it in the movie, but while i was watching the movie i asked my mom if she got raped too! i didn't know it was a book until my science class. The girl next to me had the book and i asked if i could borrow it and i read it. i say the book was better because it was more detailed. and yes i watched the movie first and i cried my eyes out! so movie was good but book was great and more dtailed!
I just watched the movie, and here's my thoughts. While the film is good in what it offered, it did remove alot of the character development for some of the characters, especially Abagail and Lindsey. I was disappointed that it also didn't highlight the blossoming and deterioration of the relationships of the people in Susie's life. Overall, the movie just felt rushed. I really did think that that Jackson's interpretation of the Inbetween was much better in the film though.
it's obvious that certain things in the book couldn't be filmed due to Saoirse's age. I mean she was 13 when Lovely Bones was filmed, mainly if you've read the book you know what I mean.
I read the book and watched the movie. Though, I think the movie here was a lot better. What has me siding with the movie for The Lovely Bones was one of two things. I don't really care for rape scenes but I can deal with them but that isn't it. In the movie, Susie possesses Ruth, so she can finally have her first kiss with Ray.
In the book, Susie possesses Ruth, so she can use her body to fuck Ray repeatedly in her apartment while Ruth is unconscious.

i personally did not like the movie...yes i'm gonna be cliche and say i read the book first and the book was better...but peter jackson doesn't always have to be so 'fantastic' i think all the effects and unnecessary 'coolness' was a waste and took away from the actual story. the book was magical in itself without having that bright almost insufferably obnoxious visual 'aid'.

So, basically the book left out all the sexual aspects. The rape, her mother's affair, how she saw her sister and her sister's boyfriend having sex, and how when she took over Ruth's body she had sex with Ray.

The movie was terrible. Nothing like the book. They watered down the book and made it into a "G"-rated kiddie movie about "living in the in between world" if you are murdered. OMG. Really?! Seriously?! Horrible on so many levels. They writer and director destroyed the beauty and heartbreak of the book and turned it into a piece of crap. Don't waste 2 hours.

You may or may not have seen the Poseidon Adventure (1972 the original ) or liked it. But the book and the movie were also very different. I liked the book way more then the movie as the book had a lot more in it that the movie left out completely.
Do you also find that most movies are quite different from the books they come from.
It actually really pisses me off if they are going to make a movie about the book make it verbatem.

one of my favorite things about the book and movie is that the killer is killed by the very thing that susie said would be a good murder weapon both where good although the book made me cry more then the movie (yeah I'm a crybaby) the book was a little better but the film overall was great I recommend both

I guess when it comes to movie adaptation it is not necessary to follow the way it was told in the book. Knowing also the fact that the story was told in a flash back form. The Book is great and the movie was also great. That's it! Its the Art of the Director.

i think he's right, the books always go into more description, the film did'nt even tell how she died properly. But i really loved the film and book, (i say always read the book first, that way when you watch the film you'll know what happens if it skips parts) all of the characters have more description in the book, also, several or more of the characters were not mentioned in the film..

I read the book before i saw the film, and ... i liked them both very much ... I agree, some things just loose themselves in teh movie, some importaint informaition obout the characters are left behind. I dont think its a bad thing, somehow the movie is more obout Susie, and the book is very focused on the family and friends she left behind. It is a different perspective. Also, i belive the movie is very emotional, while the book, for me, was more simple and direct.

The Lovely Bones movie was OK... I think that the movie was so long that they couldn't fit everything in-they missed a lot of things from the book, like Susie's mother Abigail has an affair on her husband with Len (the cop). It also didn't really make it clear that she was raped before she was killed. And even the little details, like when Holly talks she has an accent when she shouldn't, annoy me. Sorry for the movie lovers. I didn't really like it. I think that everyone should read the book!

@SugarBabySugar Or that Buckley grew up and Lindsey got a boyfriend/fiance. Or that her mom came back because her dad had a heart attack or that susie got to be with ray 1 last time through ruth. if they wouldve done the whole book in the movie i wouldve given it a 5/5, not a 3/5 even though i liked the movie.

I saw the movie then read the book and agree with pretty much all the reviewer had to say. I think the inbetween is reaslised much better in the film and Rachel Weisz's character is underused but it's interesting how much of the book is in the movie even though it's not focused upon - Abigail in particular.
I can understand fans of the book may have been disappointed with the movie because a lot of depth cannot be transposed across.

My main problem with the book and movie is the lack of poetic justice in terms of what happens to Mr. Harvey. His death was too quick, and I wanted to see him end up in Hell, but the question of his soul is never answered.
SpongyOLlama 1 year ago
@SpongyOLlama I think you missed the point. The story is about Suzie's life and how it affected her family and friends. Her murder wasn't important in the end and like she says 'everyone dies'.
The nature of the afterlife is not explained in the movie and we don't know what happened to Harvey when he died. Maybe he went to another version of heaven. At the end of the day Suzie had a much more important and fulfilling life than Harvey did.

I give the movie a thumbs up for the visual effects but as for following the book... I thought Peter Jackson could do a better job. He did a good job with the Lord of the rings, so I thought the movie will be great, but I was kind of disappointed. He should've had more of Lindsey scenes in the movie and tried to get the events and timeline correct. For example when Lindsey breakes into Harvey's house. Wrong time compared to other events and what Lindsey took was incorrect.

Well duh... it's a book, it's meant to move your mind way more.
Movies are a totally different thing and they cannot, by any means, ever be the same as the book because they would be veeery long.
I'm so glad I saw the movie and then read the book. It's a magical film and the performances were amazing (most). I feel people who get obsessed about books and then criticize movies are actually missing out on really appreciating film
dodgesebring 1 year ago 41
@dodgesebring
The Lovely Bones movie is a PERFECT example of why the book is better. There's a difference between adapting a book and then completely butchering it. Jackson not only sanitized the movie but he also removed even the littlest things like Abigail's contempt for motherhood and Lindsey's struggle to get out of her sister's shadow. Oh, and don't forget Susie's "in between" wasn't supposed to resemble What Dreams May Come. Where's her duplex?

I just watched the movie, and here's my thoughts. While the film is good in what it offered, it did remove alot of the character development for some of the characters, especially Abagail and Lindsey. I was disappointed that it also didn't highlight the blossoming and deterioration of the relationships of the people in Susie's life. Overall, the movie just felt rushed. I really did think that that Jackson's interpretation of the Inbetween was much better in the film though.
