The Lovely Bones Film Analysis
Susie Salmon shows great emotion through out the movie “The Lovely Bones”. Highly recommend this movie to those who love a thriller and a heartbreaking movie. The reason being behind recommending this movie is that it drags you to the edge of your seat, the fear from Susie Salmon, and the amazing acting from everyone, even though there is some disappointments in the movie, for example how clueless the police are when they are in George Harvey’s home while asking questions around the neighborhood. Through out the movie Susie Salmon, also known as Saoirse Ronan, faced many things that brought fear to everyone even the watcher. When Susie Salmon was drawn into the under ground “hang out” you can tell by the look in her eyes she was terrified.
