I've just watched Lovely Bones last night. It was really beautiful. The movie is about Susie Salmon, a 14 year old girl who was murdered by her extremely creepy neighbor. Throughout the movie she tells her story. The story of her family. The story of how she died. The story of her love life, her life before she died. Her family after she died. And what happened to her when she was in the between.
I was in the blue horizon between heaven and earth. The days were unchanging and every night I dream the same dream. The smell of damp earth. The scream no one heard. The sound of my heart beating like a hammer against cloth and I would hear them calling, the voices of the dead. I wanted to follow them to find a way out but I would always come back to the same door. And I was afraid. I knew if I went in there I would never come out. - Susie Salmon
Got extremely uncomfortable watching suspenseful parts. Especially when Susie was alone with her murderer and when her sister sneaked in the murderer's house. It was all creepy but beautiful. I still feel like I need to have a copy of the book! Expecting it's better than the movie :)
My grandfather just passed away last Thursday and I thought of him when the movie ended. I thought of how happy he is now in heaven. He's alive in his own perfect world.
