Supposedly this movie [The Lovely Bones-IMDB] is about this girl who gets shot in Philadelphia (sounds like a non fictional tale but hold ya skirts) So homegirl gets shot in Suburban Philadelphia; instead of the popular belief that we go to heaven or hell or some really deep ass hole. She floats around the living as a ghost i guess and watches her family. ooooh.. i digress it appears shes watching her fam and her killer from heaven ,my bad, anyway The movie itself has a good premise but its not the type of movie that interests me; either a movie has to have to have some killing/violence; some profound message or some black people. This movie seems to have neither but again great premise!
It kinda plays to my idea of what death is like. Now, i believe in God but if I said "my spirit flies to heaven after i die" you wouldn't sense much conviction in my voice. Its a nice idea to have but being that we have cells n shit and that science explains everything its quite possible that we just get.. (iunno) deleted and I'm not talking about "stored in the Recycle Bin deleted" im talking "Recycle Bin, left click, erase this shit off my computer deleted" Finality, ultimate closure, the end.
Sad but thats what i think and although its scary i'm at peace with it, Ive been at peace with it. Everyone has to go through it and everyone went through puberty right!?? That wasnt that bad...
UMM...I do hope for the best though. Sometimes back in the day when I'm at church or in a funeral or something I often picture (cuz im probably bored). A ghost (of the deceased) watching everyone watching the eulogy/funeral. They watching everyone cry for them and shit and i think to myself it must feel nice to see everyone together crying for you... i think. Part of me wants death to be that way. You die then your spirit walks around the earth invisible to all living things. Hmm now that i think about it almost like that Patrick Swayze movie, but since this is real life you cant touch shit or push people in front of cars...although that would explain all the unfortunate shit that happens to people. But yea, thats what i'd want death to be like, you just stay and watch ya family go on throughout their lives without you...it would probably be painful but at least it ain't cancer or a bullet or a train.
Oh yeah Ghost, casper umm that resse witherspoon movie...i guess the premise aint all that original... Shocking...not
Good Post. I saw the previews for this movie last weekend and I too was intrigued. Not my usual film, but the imagery and plot seems to be a winner.
