The Lovely Bones

So I watched The Lovely Bones and I loved it. It was a really good movie I liked it a lot. We'll the movie starts out with Susie Salmon telling the us about herself and what happened to her. She introduces herself and her family. Susie was 14 years old when she was murdered. She was walking home from school when one of there neighbor George Harvey asks her to see what he had just builed and tell him what she thinks about it. She goes in and thats when she was murdered. Her parents start looking for her right away when they relize she was late. But they find out after a couple of days that she was murdered. They look for who it was but dont find anything.
Her dad goes carzy her mom leaves for a while and leaves everyone and her dad starts looking for evidence of who might of killed her. Her dad Jack Salmon and her sister Lindsey Salmon know it was George Harvey but the detactive tells them they need more evidence. They find out at the end that it was their neigbor George Harvey because susie's sister goes in his house and frinds a book with his plan to murder Susie, to me that was the best part I was so scared wondering if he was going to catch her or not I loved that part. Well in the end they find out it was him but he runs off before they police got him.
The actors characters are developed because there roles in the movie best fit them. The characters Cast is well because they all played the parts really well. They all played there parts with emotions and made us understand who they are talking about. I like Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) she was very good. She was the narrator telling her story and acting it and it was very good. I liked Jack Salmon (Mark Wahlberg) which was her dad and Lindsey Salmon (Rose McIver) which was her sister. There part were really good i really like how her dad got mad a started breaking the bottle boats that him and Susie used to build when they found out Susie died. I also liked her sisters part because she knew who killed Susie and she kept watching Mr. Harvey and she even went in his house and got evidence for the cops and that was my favorite part.
The major conflict in The Lovely Bones is when susie gets raped and killed by mr.Harvey. Also the struggles that her family has with her being gone also she does not want to go of to heaven yet until she is ready so she is in a place between Earth and Heaven. Her parents try to forget what happened to Susie when they find out what happened to her and who did it and she finally goes of to heaven. The characters do interact well with each other because they all wanted to find out who killed Susie and get evidence so they can put him in jail. There is absolutely no chemistry between them because the main character describes her killer which she highly dislikes. Some key pieces of dialogue were in one of the scenes the father of Susie confronts the killer and major tension arises.
The setting was a small town near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and some minor parts in New Hampshire and California. There was more then one stage there were different places like the school, forest, and more places. Some props were a safe cabin were the killer hid Susie when he killed her. Also the bad he put her in before he put her in the safe cabin. The music was put together well they had the slow music played in most of the movie because of Susie's death and everyone was upset and there was nice calming music when Susie felt better that her parents knew what happens to her so she went on to heaven. The costuming isn't effective because they dress like normal real life people. Thats pretty much it about the movie it was really good and I loved it and I think you guys should watch it if you didn't it was a good movie.

Jaws

To start of the movie I watched was Jaws. Jaws was a good movie but it was kind of got boring while I was watching like some parts were boring. This movie starts out in Amity island and there was a girl that was out on the beach late at night swiming when all of a sudden a shark comes out and eats her. The cheif of the island finds out it was a shark attack but the council of the island says it could be anything like a boat. But while people were swimming a shark attacks a little boy and he dies. Then fisher men go out to search for the shark to kill it.
The character i really liked was Chief Martin Brody his character was developed he wanted to help everyone out from the shark even though he didn't like the water. He went out on the ocean to chatch the shark so this whole mess would stop. The shark attacks were major conflicts nobody wanted to swim or go to the beach at all. Without people going out to the beach many people lose there businesses. The characters cast were well. I liked Police Chief Martin's character he was caring about what was going on from the first shark attack. He even went out to help catch the shark with other fisher men.
I dislike Quint's character he was weird and all he wanted was to get payed so he can catch the shark. I also like Matt Hooper's character he also wanted the shark to be caught. When they caught a shark he was sure that, that wasn't the shark thats been attacking and he didn't just quiet he kept on telling them that the shark they caught wasn't the the shark thats been attacking. The plot is a resort of Amity Island. The major conflit is The police chief of Amity Island, a resort town tries to protect the people from a giant white shark by closing the beach but the town council wants the beach to remain open to make money from tourists during the summer. But after several attacks the police chief insistes to the council to close the beach before any more attacks happen. The characters all interacted well with each other they all helped each other out to catch the shark thats been attacking.
I think some dialogue used in the movie were they wanted us to pay attention on the shark and what the shark was doing to all the people. It was on and Island in Amity. All this happens out on the beach, pond, and out in the ocean the movie was mostly in the water. It was all about the shark attack and catching the shark before anything else happens. The stages of this movie were out on the beach or ocean and I think somethings out on the ocean were to long out there. I think the music in this movie were perfect they had the scary music on when ever the shark would come around and they would let us know whenever the shark was about to come.
The lighting was also perfect they had it dark for the shark scenes and I think that was good. But this was an alright movie it got kind of boring while I was watch but I liked it and the ending was good and they ended it at a good part.
