"Lovely Bones" uses Susie's first-person subjective perspective to construct the direct experience of death, the reluctance to end life, the nostalgia for relatives and love, all of which are in line with the indirect experience of death that the audience has obtained, and caters to them. The audience's expectation horizon. On the other hand, the film uses the colors and brushstrokes of fairy tales to depict a girl’s misfortune, using symbols and metaphors to establish communication between the junction of Susie’s ghost and the real world, turning the fear of disaster and death into a strange beauty. The picture filled in people’s imaginary blanks about death and immortality.
"Lovely Bones" uses abstract story content and an imaginative world view to describe a story about the theme of life. Perhaps, it is a tragedy, but it can help heal those whose souls have been hurt. While the audience sympathized with Susie, they could also be moved by Susie's final choice.
