I am so so so very excited for the new movie The Lovely Bones! I never read the book that the movie was based off, but I know the general plot of the film. The director of the movie is Peter Jackson who did the lord of the ring movies, I thought those were really well done so I'm excited for this movie. I have watched the trailer about a million times and the story seems so fascinating I'm dying for it to come to theaters. The cast doesn't have any block buster stars in it which is refreshing to see new faces on the big screen. The movie and well book is taking a new twist to the generic murder/ mystery plot with adding in fantasy. The plot which is seen in the movie trailer right off the bat is a simple one. It shows a young teenage girl who is very kind and simple, with her extremely close and loving family. This all changes when she is murdered. Her family is an absolute wreck and wants to find her killer. While what is extremely different from other movies is they still tell the story of the murdered girl. She is almost now in her own fantasy afterlife world. In the world she is happy, but slowly becomes sadder and more depressed as each day goes by her killer isn't found. She is suffering from great grief and pain seeing her family in such agony. Her family knows that their daughter would never go off with someone she didn't know, so her killer must be someone she knew. It's the story of a girl trying to find peace in the afterlife, and a family trying to find peace and understanding of what happened to there daughter. Please go check out the trailer, and you will see how awesome it looks, well in my opinion!
