The Flim trem of the Lovely Bones

The lovely bone was directed by Peter Jackson, a four time academy film winner.
The beginning of the movie started with a cheesy country song to show how peaceful and happy the Salmon family used to be before the death of Susie. There was a landscape shot to show the countryside of Philadelphia, the state in which the movie took place. After that there was a long shot to the corn field, this then they show Susie’s house. It was used to show a connection between the Salmons house and the cornfield in which Susie was killed. There were lots of close up and reaction shots in the movie to how the characters were suppose to act or for the audience to infer what the next action is going to be. There was a low angle shot at when Susie was taking picture Mr. Harvey’s house, this implies that at the spot where that camera was facing down, something would be hidden there. When Susie would daydream about Ray Singh, the director ordered to use a medium to long shot this emphasizes that Ray was significant to Susie. Before Mr. Harvey killed Susie, he would stare at her. Once the film makers used a frame within a frame shot to show Mr. Harvey spying on Susie as she goes to school, this creates suspense that Susie would be his next victim. An ominous song was played when Susie mother handed her the hat she knitted, well the hat was what was found after Susie was murdered.
There was a dissolve the show the place where Susie soul goes to it was mixed with cloud, the sun rising, a park and the ocean, this pictures were used to represent loneliness that for coming happiness. There was a snapshot on Susie’s bracelet, and when Mr. Harvey threw the bracelet into the ocean and the ocean took the bracelet away, Susie was running in a field and the field began to turn into water and she later drown in it. Light and life effect was used to show life living Susie. There was a long shot of Susie in her tree house, show lowliness, only her and tree and nothing else. Mr. Harvey begins to look for another victim and when Lindsey, Susie’s younger sister ran by his house, an ominous song played and this showed that she was the next victim if Harvey has a chance. There was a time different in the movie; it keeps going to the pass, form when Susie was younger to older. Also they showed how she died and the other people that Mr. Harvey had killed. There was a dolly shot used as Lindsey search Mr. Harvey’s room for clues to link him to Susie’s killing. The effects in the movie were good.
My reaction, I did not like it, the movie skipped some of the most important t and funny scenes that the book had. The book was a lot descriptive that the movie.
