The Lovely Bones.....

it was a pleasure that i managed
to have a pre-ride with my dear
to Technology Park Malaysia and it
almost took us total about 3 hours
for us to and fro to my office



unfortunately, it's really sad to
say that i can't even drive to my
internship office as the parking
fees is totally very expensive
furthermore the feeder bus did not
even passed by the office at ENT4



in the end i decided to buy the
monthly LRT pass which cost RM100
for a month that only allows for
Putra and Star LRT that excluded
the Rapid KL bus fare



the moment upon we reached the
Kelana Jaya Putra Station
we decided to head to One Utama
straight away to buy the movie
tickets, but unfortunately
did not know that GSC was on fire



it was the news spread out that
the fire happened at Glitters
here are some captures :

The corner of the GSC counters and Glitters

the escalators up and down to GSC has been blocked

in the end, decided to watch at TGV
for the movie - The Lovely Bones
the reason of choosing to watch
this movie is because once the
novel kinda caught my attention
to question some doubts of the novel
and now they have produced into movie

The Lovely Bones - Based on the best-selling novel by Alice Sebold, it is the story of a 14-year-old girl from suburban Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbour. She tells the story from Heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all the while attempting to get someone to find her lost body. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.

There is a part of the movie that caught my attention was one of a meaningful poem which was written by one of the character named Ray, which is known as "The Moore" to Susie (the main character) :

" If I had but an hour of love,
If that be all it's given to me.
An hour of love; upon this earth,
I would give my love to thee. "

~ Signed - The Moore ~

Movie Review :
In my opinion, this movie gives more weight of argument that it is and exercise in futility. It is not about the fate of mankind but it is a story of a girl and the death she must accept as her own. Somehow, the eponymous bones of the heroine Susie Salmon perfectly cast as a girl who is otherworldly even when on an earthly plane are largely to be ignored, which quite feat for a story about a dead girl.


The delicacy and finely-written characterization of Alice Sebold's novel has been removed in favour of a beyond-the-grave whodunit, subtlety be damned. The Salmon family's grief is owed much excavation, but this is far from a year of magical thinking territory. Life, apparently, goes on in the shadow of a young girl's rape and murder, not that we ever really know about it.


In the movie, there are several moments which invest this movie with the same genius on display throughout The Lord of the Rings, such as a sequence wherein the bodies of Mr Harvey's victims are strewn like so many dead flowers (black roses) across a beautifully-stage montage, finally instilling a sense of grim fatalism, but ultimately these efforts serves only to heighten the sense of an opportunity has lost.

Movie Rating : 8/10
