Title: Afterlife in film 'The Lovely Bones"?
Post by betson on Jan 19^th, 2010 at 12:10pm

Hi

Has anyone seen the film '' The Lovely Bones"?
If so, how do they treat the afterlife, which is apparenetly a big part of the plot?

Come to think of it, Charley Tuna's post 'Afterlife Contact' also involves a very similiar murder of a young girl, however the girl's name is different. Charley, you weren't putting us on about your contact, were you?

Bets,

I don't know about Charlie, but I thought the handling of the afterlife was quite good in the movie. It kept with our ideas about the subjectivity replacing what we often think of as objective. Her thoughts molded her new reality, but she seemed to influence C1 perhaps a bit more than I thought was necessary, but a film well worth watching. The time lines gradually grew further apart which was interesting to see how that was handled. Mostly I liked it a lot. The ending, well, I don't know.

Yours,
Beau
