Reaction

There was one quote used both in the movie and book its when she said " My name is Salmon like the fish, first name Susie." But the thing is I thought that the movie was goona start that was like the introduction but it didn't. another quote the movie and book used was"I remember being really small; too small to see over the edge of a table. There was a snow globe, and I remember the penguin who lived inside the globe. He was all alone in there, and I worried for him." And the ting that I liked was in the movie the father will tend to look at the snow globe after she got murdered and remembered his duaghter. Matter of fact that is how the movie started it was when Susie was young in a room with her father and they were looking into a snow globe and that is where the line comes from. " You're not supposed to look back, you're supposed to keep going." This was a quote that Holly Susie's friend said  to try and get Susie to get to the real part of heaven. Even though Susie liked the part she was in because not only the things she had and the things she colud do but because she got to look at her family from above. And the other heaven is mostly when you let go of your family and know that they are gonna be okay. Susie would have to fall into "the  light" as some people would say.

I wonder why mostly girls or womwn like this movie? Maybe because the main character is a girl and she tends to talk about how she liked a boy? But I think that the IMDb staff ratting is too high. Like i would give the movie about a 6.5 because of all the stuff the movie missed based on the book.

Reaction towards movie

When I saw the movie I was dissappionted. First of all the order that was made in was strange. And they took out sooooooooooo many things that were important in the book. Like the book had so many things in it and the movie even though it was two hours long I think that it was short compared with the facts that they had in the book. Like for example in the book there was a part where Susie spent time with the boy she liked in school. the movie didn't show that and that was improtant becuase in the book Susie mentioned it a lot. Another big thing that was missing was in the book at the end Ruth and Susie kind of switched places. That was also a big thing because Susie got to spend time with the boy she liked and he realized it wasn't Ruth anymore. It was Susie in Ruth's body. That wasn't in the movie also. I think that if I did not read the book but saw the movie I would like the movie but since I read the book I am not liking the movie that much.
Altough there was some good things about the movie like when Susie's pparents was talking to Mr. Harvey in the beginning when they all were at his garden and Susie was playing around with her camera they had some low angle shots that would have like a rose cover most of Mr. Harveys face. And also in the beginning when Mr. Harvey talked to Susie for the first time they had moments where you can tell that the camera was on a high crane. Tey wouls have close ups of Mr. Havrey's face and Susie. And with the close up you can see of Susie is feeing uncomfortable and wants to go home.
