Film # 4: Lovely Bones
Hello readers,
Tonight, once again, a movie.
Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson, 2010
film from a book that I have not read, so I make no comparison between screen and paper, or even any mention. However, for those who read the book, I want to say that our friend director Peter Jackson has a tendency, when making a movie from a book, to appropriate the history and make a version a bit personal . For those who read this story, I await your comments.
A 14 year old girl disappears. Drama. Victim of a rapist-serial killer, the little that his family loved going to found a paradise that is not a living while going to live with the loss of this child. I'll leave it to history because if you want to see it, there's the movie for that (and soon the DVD and people downloading).
outset I say, I loved this movie. Why? Because it took me. I love the dreams, the symbols and mysticism and is much talk in this film, but also shows a lot. Visually, it's a beautiful film. The pictures are very beautiful and every little detail makes sense. Generated images have very bright colors or very dark which makes me think of a dream or a nightmare child and I also recall my own dreams. I also liked the music that brings little longer always necessary. Strongly BO.
level actors, they are good. I doubt they win an Oscar, but the sight of a few turnips are released lately, I can only congratulate the producers have chosen. Unfortunately, there is a downside, the villain is a stereotype of a pedophile, thick glasses, greasy hair, mustache ... short, nothing new.
The background story. Yes, because behind this movie, there's a background story. How to overcome what many consider the worst tragedies a family can suffer: the loss of a child. Throughout the film we see the parents grow in their distress, and the sister of the victim, but to a lesser extent. The grandmother and brother are unfortunately absent from this development. It must be said that abstract in 2:30 what is certainly a lifetime to assimilate, it is not easy. The essential points are: the desire to forget or to go all out in the reasons for the disappearance of his rejection, the need to take a break, anger, hate, sadness. It never goes very deep, but I've seen worse.
the side of the dead, everything is a matter of belief. Paradise or not, "phantom" or not, interaction between the living and the dead or not. We can not talk about evolution in this case.
The bad point. The end. Why is it necessary to make the villain loses life. Of course, it's a bastard. Of course, he deserves punishment. But was it really necessary that he died this way and rather seedy Hollywood? This need to see the wicked pay his crimes by a violent death starts to get tired.
In summary, I liked this film for its visual beauty, the fact that it took me elsewhere, in a dream world and the beginning of thinking that I can make myself the question: And I, what would I do if I lost a child or more generally a very very close?
Rating: 7 / 10
