the lovely bones was a very sad movie its my favorite i wish that the guy didnt take her down there but he did and all around the state this is happening to young children and i feel bad for them i wish that we couls just put this to a end but sadly we cant these people should really clean up there acts and leave these poor little inicent children alone
Most people on here are saying how the lovely bones is not a very good film, i however love it and it has to be one of my favourites. Yes it may not be the most remembered or yes it may be seen as 'inferior' to twilight but i still think it is an excellent film.
when i saw the lovely bones with my friend I had mixed feelings of anger, and sadness because it's true it happens in real life and the fact that her parents never found her body!!!!!
@storybook1118 sadly this happens very often in my country... I'm from Guatemala and cases like the one in the film are very common here... its really sad :(
@Runnerrmejor i completely u derstand what you mean:P i yesterday saw it for the fourth time and i listend all night long the music and now again!! there are extreem beautiful scenes in it. and seeing that makes me cry from happyness. and indeed its like in normal live,love and hate mixed up in the society!
I found a nice quote in Michael Cunningham's book Specimen Days, a quote that kinda suited the idea of the movie. It sounded something like " And the reason why you're still alive is that no one decided to kill you today"
These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence. The connections, sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent., that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it.
the bit which just makes me feel upset, is when he throws her body into the pit, inside the safe. who the hell can just go 'oh, i wanna kill someone' i could never think that, and if i killed someone, i couldent live with myself. no matter how much to envy or hate someone, its just wrong to take their life.
@IAVAIN I believe this was played when Mr.Havey is falling down the hill at the end and when Suzie begins talking about the importance of life before the credits.
this movie beyond touched me.....I could not stop crying....when she came back to kiss the boy she liked, instead of bothering to stop them from hiding her body.....because in the end that's all that mattered....oh my gosh im crying just thinking about it
I came to this song because I think "Another Green World" by Brian Eno is an astounding album and not because of this film. I'll probably get a lot of negative votes but I have to say that this is not a good film at all. The performances were good to great, the two best being Tucci and Ronan. Jackson messed this up, the tones of the film clashed, the script was poorly written, the natural imagery was good but the CGI was cheesy. Didn't do it's source material justice in any form.
Don't let the fangirls bother you, Liam. Anyone with intelligence and an actual heart knows this is an awful and offensive film. You are better off sticking to the novel.
@TheCanadianPrairies The novel wasn't brilliant ,for me anyway. I just don't like seeing classic Eno tracks having 95% of their views because they were in a crap movie. Just had to get that little rant out of me haha.
@danieltubed Well, if you want to say my view is a minority you should check out critical reviews. Like I said, the performances were amazing and the direction was pretty good but the script was terrible. This film could've been amazing but Jackson messed it up. If you want to try and make a film have such a large sentimental message you shouldn't have such a high level of violence (unless you know how to make the two tones work like some directors do). I'm happy you enjoyed it but I hate it.
@LiamCrowley1990 like i said before to you ITS YOUR opinion,if you say: in my opinion my feelings blablabla then i dont complain,but you cant make a standart with your vieuw for all the people ,you know what i mean dont ya?
@danieltubed Yeah, I do see what you mean but there isn't one film in the world where there's a universal consensus on how good the film is so everyone's opinions are exactly what count. I don't want to argue by any means, every film has it's fans and detractors so I don't expect to change your mind but I don't think it's fair of you to say things like, "thats YOUR opinion!!!!!" as if it's wrong. To be honest, I only came because of the song anyway.
@LiamCrowley1990 thats true what you say, every opinion is an individual truuth and cant me bring down...i think that i so enjoyd the song and movie that i didnt want to read ''negative'' comments.i understand you and i think you understand me also,no problem :):)
the story is just so beautiful and sad, but good thing mr harvey got what he deserved in the end...and when i watched this movie it brought tears in my eyes especially the part where susie's parents really show how much important she is to them...it's just beautiful....
The Lovely Bones (novel) was better than Twilight (novel).
The Lovely Bones (movie) was inferior to Twilight (movie) despite the core audiences being the same, unfortunately.
Twilight (movie) was more faithful to source material than The Lovely Bones (movie) and, dare I say it, a better film than the Lovely Bones will ever be.
@TheCanadianPrairies Twilight is a Joke!!! look at the quality in actors in Lovely Bones. Oscar Nominated! Twilight can't even get the graphics right.
Yet Lovely Bones was critically panned by every critic. Even Roger Ebert called it for what it was. Disgusting.
Graphics? Oh, you mean like the needless CGI Peter Jackson pumped Lovely Bones chock full with? At least Twilight told its source material's story.
Twilight may suck utter ass and all, but it's still a superior film to Lovely Bones. Twilight's remembered by thousands. No one even sells Lovely Bones where I am on DVD/Blu Ray. It's a thankfully forgotten film.
@TheCanadianPrairies I know I am kind od jumping into your fight, but I have to say I agree with you 100%. Lovely bones was such a simplistic book, the movie should have been too. The grahics were horrible. The scenes with "Heaven" were so fake looking, I dont get why they didnt use a real field instead of all of that fake CGI stuff. It was pretty much forgotten...
Problem is, "Heaven" wasn't meant to be like that. "Heaven," in The Lovely Bones was many heavens, that is, a heaven for each and every soul. It was why the book called it SUSIE's heaven, not just Heaven in general, and let's not get started on the fact that the movie didn't even bother to deal with the subject matter that drove Susie to "heaven" anyway, so "heaven" with its many metaphors wasn't even needed.
The film was a bloody mess. That's why no one even remembers it.
I know it's sad, but that's what happens when you cater exclusively to teenyboppers. Peter Jackson gave his balls to Hollywood in a shoebox, yet just a decade or so earlier depicted gritty subject matter with Heavenly Creatures.
I read the leaked screenplay that was released once upon a time. They had a great film there. But Jackson had no integrity and that great film might as well have been Twilight: Electric Boogaloo.
@TheCanadianPrairies I don't think so. I know plenty of people who shed a tear for Suzy. The movie was emotional and very good. It could have been better though.
@guitargrrl13 This song kicks in at the moment the evil dude is rolling the box with her body in into the pit, it merges from some ambient chords, it's a good film, a gripping film, it's a sad point in the film tho. Music of this quality can work either way, I think this is euphoric, but I have heard it under a different mood, a sad one and it showed me it's all down to mood. Undoubtedly tho quality is quality and this is king.
@Dianiktos Yeah. Now that I remember when it happened, I can say it definitely created a sad mood in the movie, but just listening to it, it seems more victorious... Love the book and the film.
"I was fourteen years old when I was murdered: on December 6th, 1973. I was here for a moment, then I was gone. I wish you all a long and happy life". She's so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
The saddest thing about this movie is the realization that all over the world there really are creeps like that man everywhere and there really are kids just as beautiful as Susie Salmon that just get taken away....taken away from the parents, taken away from us.....thats really why I cried so much in the movie because everything that happened on earth to Susie was highly realistic. So sad.I am a parent and I wouldnt be able to live if ever my son was taken away like this.
@cherls15 I interpeted the movie differently... the part where i got most emotional and cried was when Susie got to kiss with that boy.. through the other girl.
You say everything that happened to Susie was highly realistic, but what i feel is that the movie shows that even though these things happen, there's a bigger picture, a higher reality and that earth is just a huge learning process. This movie actually didn't make me sad at all.. I thought it was very beautiful.
The saddest thing about this movie is actually that it is grossly negligent in seriously dealing with the tragedy it depicts, and is incredibly insensitive in its portrayal. The film is so tasteless and handled so poorly it might as well have slapped every grieving parent around the world and had the words ‘LOL DEAD KIDS’ flash across the screen for the duration.
This film was an insensitive and sugar-coated look into the world of child murder. And it couldn't even do that right.
@TheCanadianPrairies if the story were made up then I would agree however...this story is taken from the book in which the author went through a similar encounter which was terrible.Her name is Alice Sebold go look her up.In my opinion this was probably her way of making sense of it all and finding a way to cope with all the trauma she would have went through.Also you could go down the serious, criminal way of looking at the movie or if you are a parent and this happened,I would indulge in this.
I know all about what Alice Sebold went through. I am damn sure she would be offended that her story - inspired by her own experience as a victim of rape - was reduced to a bloody joke by Hollywood. This movie was a slap in the face to any grieving parent. But remember the Hollywood maxim.
No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the modern audience.
@TheCanadianPrairies How would she be offended if she wrote the story though? I read the book and apart from the movie leaving out alot of things I think Peter Jackson still was able to portray the story that Sebold wrote herself.
Sure, kiddo, you tell yourself that. You tell yourself that an incredibly disjointed film with the shittiest police investigation ever depicted on film, that has even the actors (Sarandon, Weisz, etc) criticizing Jackson's direction, that has critics calling it disgusting and neutered, and that has been utterly forgotten and not even sold on DVD/Blu-Ray where I am a good portrayal of Sebold's story.
This film was made for teenyboppers, not mature adults as it should have been.
@TheCanadianPrairies Stop talking with such an attitude...theres no need for it and stop being so pompous...you just make yourself sound annoying and maybe in real life you are not annoying.You obviously have strong feelings about the film and you should keep it that way...stop ranting on youtube...its pathetic.If you were to meet me in person you wouldnt talk with such an attitude.Who gives a shit what critics say about the film?No-body should listen to critics.they are just people with opnions
Hold on, sir, hold on! Let me call emergency services for you. They've probably got a good salve for your butthurt. Stop ranting on Youtube? I'm merely using this site's functions, good sir. Maybe you could spend some time learning about said functions instead of acting so pompous yourself. Real life? Pfffft. What? Should I expect even more butthurt from you if I told you all this personally? Everyone I know doesn't like this film, and they are pretty nice people.
@TheCanadianPrairies who gives a shit about the people you know? you're just another angry person out there wanting to use youtube as an outlet and seriously you sound so invalid to me. So lets just end this whole retarded conversation anyway...go talk to the people you know about how much you hate this film. You're feel better.
i never read the booksome people said he just killed her others say he raped and killed her.... id want to sound like a pervert or anything but witch one was it..? can someone plz tell me
When I saw this movie I cried so much that I did not know where I would go and I just want to see it again ... It is so sad that there is not anything sadder. The saddest thing is that this is happening in the world around us. Wherever we go there at death's door without our noticing how much the Pavek us. It is available in every breath and every step we take the saddest things is that we all eventually die but not everyone gets a happy ending to a short life ...
I sat in on an q&a session after a screening of the lovely bones, and heard stanley tucci talk about the particular "bunker" scene, he said in the script it was much darker, and showed more, however being the Stanley has children he asked Peter if they could tone it down
well who the fuck NEEDS to see a rape seen like wtf? you all know what happened and think about if that was your sister mom aunt cousin even DAUGHTER, and then some big time movie producer made a GRAPHIC rape scene exactly how YOUR loved one got raped, how would you feel? ya exactly fuck all you inconsiderate people man it makes me sick
@IITiiMeZII Actually in the movie the rape scene doesn't happen. If u really saw the movie, you would know that, she runs away in her mind, but she's really being killed. Watch the movie for fuck's sake.
@miiiikku so you also like being in love without somebody to love? or you like being pregnant without the baby stuff? you like the usa..but not texas and washington.......it comes with the movie paardenlul!
@moos996 How about if serial killer was just a detail on background. Movie should had concentrated more on sorrow of the father and his difficulty to accept death of his daughter and what that caused for the daughter in afterlife.
@miiiikku the daughter died because of a serial killer.....she met in the afterlife all his victims..the whole movie is about the serial killer..you want to make a new movie be my guest delete the serial killer but it wont be the same movie...lets make a remake of titanic but just the stuff you like ok? so no boat and no love scenes..pretty good movie that will be..................
@miiiikku so you also like being in love without somebody to love? or you like being pregnant without the baby stuff? you like the usa..but not texas and washington.......its part of the movie paardenlul!
This movie was amazing. But wow so sad! I very rarely cry on movies, but this one was ridiculous haha. I think they made the characters so connectible. I felt connected to all of them and so it made it so easy to feel what they felt. Love, love this movie. :) the music really set the mood as well. All the music in this film had meaning and brought the emotions of the characters together with the music.
i love this movie its got that moment where it makes u think about life and world other and people who are attached to each other. all i can say is this movie got me thinking on what it is to feel spiritually and physically, cnt wait to read the book
There was very few detail in her death scene because her death wasn't the main focus of the film, but the aftermath showing how a family copes with such a tragic loss. Every one of her relatives seemed to deal with it in a different way. It's strange because every day you hear something on the news about a child dying and while your life continues on normally afterwards because you just brush it off, someone else's was just tragically ruined.
If you're smart, you'd see that we never would need to depict it graphically. Besides, Jackson could have at least depicted her story rather than cut entire parts out just to make it appeal to teenyboppers. The whole movie screams that Jackson didn't know what Susie's story was about. None of her neighbours were even caring. How did they find the sinkhole? Why did Ray not care? Who was Ray? Why did Ruth not be burdened more with seeing Susie's ghost? So many loose ends...
While it is understandable that you can't fit the entire novel in, I'd have loved to see them try to fit something from it in, like how Abigail's affair was caused BY Susie's death, like how Lindsey and others actually care about Susie enough to show that it hurts them deeply that she's gone, and so forth. There's so much that was left out that I don't even consider it an adaptation. It's just selling out to teenyboppers and political correctness lovers.
Since the movie lacked much much much much MUCH detail, i think it's safe to post-recommend that peter jackson should have ended the film with the scene where all the girls that were victims of Mr. Harvey came to welcome Susie to heaven. I cry every time the youngest girl just stands there looking at Susie, smiles, and then finally runs to her and gives her a hug. =')
I think it's much better that there was no detail in Suzie's death scene. This gives everyone the chance to reflect on what they have seen by themselves, if they want to ponder about what happened they can but it doesn't force anyone to face what happened to her. Plus, if it was shown, you'd only see what was there.. like a book, I enjoy creating the setting in my head. Although what happened is a horrible thing, everyone can have their own way of dealing with it. Brilliant movie, and song. (:
such an underappreciated movie... I really don't see how people panned it, it was even better than the piece of shit, ridiculously metaphore-laced book.
and this is coming from a guy who's not that big of a Peter Jackson fan.
Is is not bad enough that there are people out there who kill children, but then go to the effort to make sure their bodiesare never found! how awful do deny a parents right to bury their child!
This is awesome beat.

Yet Lovely Bones was critically panned by every critic. Even Roger Ebert called it for what it was. Disgusting.
Graphics? Oh, you mean like the needless CGI Peter Jackson pumped Lovely Bones chock full with? At least Twilight told its source material's story.
Twilight may suck utter ass and all, but it's still a superior film to Lovely Bones. Twilight's remembered by thousands. No one even sells Lovely Bones where I am on DVD/Blu Ray. It's a thankfully forgotten film.

@TheCanadianPrairies I know I am kind od jumping into your fight, but I have to say I agree with you 100%. Lovely bones was such a simplistic book, the movie should have been too. The grahics were horrible. The scenes with "Heaven" were so fake looking, I dont get why they didnt use a real field instead of all of that fake CGI stuff. It was pretty much forgotten...

@MyBadLanguage
Problem is, "Heaven" wasn't meant to be like that. "Heaven," in The Lovely Bones was many heavens, that is, a heaven for each and every soul. It was why the book called it SUSIE's heaven, not just Heaven in general, and let's not get started on the fact that the movie didn't even bother to deal with the subject matter that drove Susie to "heaven" anyway, so "heaven" with its many metaphors wasn't even needed.
The film was a bloody mess. That's why no one even remembers it.

@MyBadLanguage
I know it's sad, but that's what happens when you cater exclusively to teenyboppers. Peter Jackson gave his balls to Hollywood in a shoebox, yet just a decade or so earlier depicted gritty subject matter with Heavenly Creatures.
I read the leaked screenplay that was released once upon a time. They had a great film there. But Jackson had no integrity and that great film might as well have been Twilight: Electric Boogaloo.

@TheCanadianPrairies I don't think so. I know plenty of people who shed a tear for Suzy. The movie was emotional and very good. It could have been better though.

@guitargrrl13 This song kicks in at the moment the evil dude is rolling the box with her body in into the pit, it merges from some ambient chords, it's a good film, a gripping film, it's a sad point in the film tho. Music of this quality can work either way, I think this is euphoric, but I have heard it under a different mood, a sad one and it showed me it's all down to mood. Undoubtedly tho quality is quality and this is king.

The saddest thing about this movie is the realization that all over the world there really are creeps like that man everywhere and there really are kids just as beautiful as Susie Salmon that just get taken away....taken away from the parents, taken away from us.....thats really why I cried so much in the movie because everything that happened on earth to Susie was highly realistic. So sad.I am a parent and I wouldnt be able to live if ever my son was taken away like this.

@cherls15 I interpeted the movie differently... the part where i got most emotional and cried was when Susie got to kiss with that boy.. through the other girl.
You say everything that happened to Susie was highly realistic, but what i feel is that the movie shows that even though these things happen, there's a bigger picture, a higher reality and that earth is just a huge learning process. This movie actually didn't make me sad at all.. I thought it was very beautiful.

The saddest thing about this movie is actually that it is grossly negligent in seriously dealing with the tragedy it depicts, and is incredibly insensitive in its portrayal. The film is so tasteless and handled so poorly it might as well have slapped every grieving parent around the world and had the words ‘LOL DEAD KIDS’ flash across the screen for the duration.
This film was an insensitive and sugar-coated look into the world of child murder. And it couldn't even do that right.

@TheCanadianPrairies if the story were made up then I would agree however...this story is taken from the book in which the author went through a similar encounter which was terrible.Her name is Alice Sebold go look her up.In my opinion this was probably her way of making sense of it all and finding a way to cope with all the trauma she would have went through.Also you could go down the serious, criminal way of looking at the movie or if you are a parent and this happened,I would indulge in this.
cherls15 3 months ago
@cherls15
I know all about what Alice Sebold went through. I am damn sure she would be offended that her story - inspired by her own experience as a victim of rape - was reduced to a bloody joke by Hollywood. This movie was a slap in the face to any grieving parent. But remember the Hollywood maxim.
No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the modern audience.
TheCanadianPrairies 3 months ago
@TheCanadianPrairies How would she be offended if she wrote the story though? I read the book and apart from the movie leaving out alot of things I think Peter Jackson still was able to portray the story that Sebold wrote herself.
cherls15 3 months ago
@cherls15
Sure, kiddo, you tell yourself that. You tell yourself that an incredibly disjointed film with the shittiest police investigation ever depicted on film, that has even the actors (Sarandon, Weisz, etc) criticizing Jackson's direction, that has critics calling it disgusting and neutered, and that has been utterly forgotten and not even sold on DVD/Blu-Ray where I am a good portrayal of Sebold's story.
This film was made for teenyboppers, not mature adults as it should have been.

The saddest thing is that this is happening in the world around us. Wherever we go there at death's door without our noticing how much the Pavek us. It is available in every breath and every step we take the saddest things is that we all eventually die but not everyone gets a happy ending to a short life ...

There was very few detail in her death scene because her death wasn't the main focus of the film, but the aftermath showing how a family copes with such a tragic loss. Every one of her relatives seemed to deal with it in a different way. It's strange because every day you hear something on the news about a child dying and while your life continues on normally afterwards because you just brush it off, someone else's was just tragically ruined.

If you're smart, you'd see that we never would need to depict it graphically. Besides, Jackson could have at least depicted her story rather than cut entire parts out just to make it appeal to teenyboppers. The whole movie screams that Jackson didn't know what Susie's story was about. None of her neighbours were even caring. How did they find the sinkhole? Why did Ray not care? Who was Ray? Why did Ruth not be burdened more with seeing Susie's ghost? So many loose ends...
TheCanadianPrairies 10 months ago
@AnnieMaddycomedy
While it is understandable that you can't fit the entire novel in, I'd have loved to see them try to fit something from it in, like how Abigail's affair was caused BY Susie's death, like how Lindsey and others actually care about Susie enough to show that it hurts them deeply that she's gone, and so forth. There's so much that was left out that I don't even consider it an adaptation. It's just selling out to teenyboppers and political correctness lovers.

Since the movie lacked much much much much MUCH detail, i think it's safe to post-recommend that peter jackson should have ended the film with the scene where all the girls that were victims of Mr. Harvey came to welcome Susie to heaven. I cry every time the youngest girl just stands there looking at Susie, smiles, and then finally runs to her and gives her a hug. =')

I think it's much better that there was no detail in Suzie's death scene. This gives everyone the chance to reflect on what they have seen by themselves, if they want to ponder about what happened they can but it doesn't force anyone to face what happened to her. Plus, if it was shown, you'd only see what was there.. like a book, I enjoy creating the setting in my head. Although what happened is a horrible thing, everyone can have their own way of dealing with it. Brilliant movie, and song. (:
