went to watch 'the lovely bones' with xp at lido~
a super nice movie directed by peter jackson!

its actually from a same-titled best selling book by alice sebold


while waiting for the movie to start..
didnt notice lido has such nice lightings~




and the design is quite nice inside haha~


susie salmon is the female lead
(i keep on thinking of salmon sushi =PpPpP)
she got the most beautiful blue eyes i ve ever seen!


and i dun usually like blue eyes
find them scary..


anw back to the story~
the movie is abt this 14 year old girl
who was raped and brutally murdered


her spirit was supposed to be going to the heaven
but she refused to go
yet she cant go back to the earth
and so she lingers in between heaven and earth
in her own little world


susie watches over her family and her murderer
seeing how the family continue living aft her death
her dad and sis trying to find the murderer
her mom refuses to accept the pain
and ended up moving away from home
watching her crush missing her
and then moved on with life with another girl
while keeping a piece of her in his heart
the murderer began to live at ease as the time goes by
sometimes her dad n lil' bro could feel her presence
but she is just living in her own world with another free spirit
(whom then she found out was killed by the same murderer)
i love how peter jackson plays with the candy-colors
fantasy kind of themes in susie's little world~


and at the end of the story
susie was filled with hatred
but she has to control her desire to vengeance
so that her family wont be hurt
she decided to move on
and so that the family can carry on with life too..


her father was another character whom i like alot
simply said
it was the fatherly love that touched my heart..
