As most of the tension derives from the audience not knowing what happened to the girls then it would be a shame to dispel that by revealing it here. So, sorry! ;-)Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-55332269015009837402013-10-05T22:30:35.184-07:002013-10-05T22:30:35.184-07:00Not my cup of tea, these types of movies

But if, as a by-product, I can point others to some potential means of entertainment for themselves then it makes my little efforts all the more worthwhile.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-25637899901175346502013-09-30T09:09:57.987-07:002013-09-30T09:09:57.987-07:00Oh, I wish I were grown-up like you and actually w...Oh, I wish I were grown-up like you and actually went OUT to the movies (as the United-States-of-Americans say).

I think you'd have found this as tough a watch as I did.<br /><br />Sol - I think you made a wise decision as, like me, you seem to be not thick-skinned. It's not a film to dismiss with ease.<br />I've actually read 'Lovely Bones' twice - and have it in the cardboard box of my 'yet to read' books, as it's possible I might want to go through it yet one more time. It is powerful, as was to some extent the film in quite a different, though less successful way. I think this is a case where our 'buttons' don't quite coincide. If the story had involved the killing of animals I wouldn't have been able to get through it. 'Wrong', I know, but such is my psyche. Not that I don't find child murder (or ANY murder) profoundly disturbing, but no sociiety sanctions those (or, at least, they shouldn't) whereas animal killing is not only widespread but specifically endorsed by many states and religions. <br />But thanks for expressing your own very personal thoughts here, which are as valid as anyone else's.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-11220251101821267492013-09-29T08:01:52.155-07:002013-09-29T08:01:52.155-07:00I don't think I could see this one.

I will give this a wide berth. <br /><br />I tried to read the book, Lovely Bones twice. I got so far and I could read any further. too dark and depressing for me. And it being that she was kidnapped and raped and killed was too much for me. everyone else at work thought it was great. not for me. not for meSolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-32780831267754899132013-09-29T05:04:26.517-07:002013-09-29T05:04:26.517-07:00I've been sitting on the fence about this one....I've been sitting on the fence about this one.
