Yesterday I had a chance to watch the movie LOVELY BONES and i actually really liked it. Sure it had some long and dragged out scenes and some weird abstract scenes that require you to do a lot of your own assuming but i’m sure those questions would be answered if you read the actual book, which i intend to do soon. But this was an awesome movie about a girl who is raped and murdered at the age of 15, if im correct. The story isn’t so much about events leading to her death or details about her murder but it more-so focuses on how her death molds the inter-twines with  her family as they deal with her being physically gone. 

I don’t plan on writing a full on review, i suggest you actually read the book or watch the movie if you want to be lazy or you’re busy. haha. But i really liked how this girl was watching her family the whole time and wouldn’t accept her death yet. She didn’t want to let go and enter into heaven until she felt like her family had peace, like she waited till her death wasn’t a dark cloud that overcast her families life but she waited till she could be a part of her families life again positively. As if she was only meant to have just a blink of time here on earth and it can’t be explained why but the universal push and understanding of positive things coming from something very negative. Makes me wonder and think about all those people who have been taken earlier than we think they should have..but only God knows really.

“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 events my death brought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous lifeless body had been my life”
