Among these dead children and strangers was a picture of his wife. вЂњLen Fenerman had been the first one who had asked my mother for my school picture when the police thought I might be found alive. He carries their pictures in his wallet and writes the date the case is solved on the back. He lives in a lonely apartment above a barber shop and spends his time trying to solve older unsolved murder cases because he feels that he is responsible for them. ItвЂ™s clear that Len has been doing this work for a long time and heвЂ™s on the verge of collapsing.

Len Fernerman walks into the case already full of guilt and grief. He is just the detective who is working on SusieвЂ™s case yet he feels the guilt similar to the ones who loved Susie and also feels the responsibility to solve her case. However the difference between LenвЂ™s guilt and the guilt of the previous characterвЂ™s that IвЂ™ve discussed is that Len Fernerman is not a part of the Salmon family. Len Fernerman is another character in The Lovely Bones that is suffering from guilt. However, she also releases them from their guilt.

It's just that his cluelessness makes the atrociousness of his movie positively supernatural.Aside from the guilt SusieвЂ™s family feels, she has also caused other people close to her or involved with her to feel guilt. I don't think Jackson's tawdry sentimentality is badly intentioned. Is The Lovely Bones powerful? Yes: How could it not be, given the grisly, tragic premise? But with that power comes a responsibility to bring to life the tortured emotions that drive Sebold's vision. But then there are incongruous notes all over the place, especially the presence of Susan Sarandon as an eccentric grandmother out of Auntie Mame. Given Jackson's technique, the outcome of the sequence is bewildering. Then, in the climax, he cross-cuts between the dead girl's struggle to manifest herself physically and her killer's attempt to dispose of her body. Toward the end, Susie drops out of the film and Jackson seems to think he's making a Hitchcock thriller.

Not, in other words, a director whose demarcations between life and limbo are like an illustrated storybook for 6-year-olds. To work onscreen - and I'm not sure it could - The Lovely Bones would need to have been made by someone who could blur the line between literal and metaphorical. The fantasy landscape might even evoke the otherworldy lightness induced by Sebold's turn to heroin. And the limbo Susie occupies is like a metaphor for Sebold's post-rape detachment from her own body and her haunted inner world. The Lovely Bones can be taken as a fantasy of the death she didn't have. She revealed in her subsequent memoir with the ironic title Lucky that she was raped in college, in a tunnel the police said she was lucky because the last woman raped there was killed. It's no mystery where Sebold's premise came from. Then she and a fellow dead girl romp around a verdant, CGI Never-Never Land accented with bits of New Zealand landscape - at times having so much fun it seems like murder is just about the best present a teen girl could get. In a melancholy state reinforced by Brian Eno's floating score - much of it borrowed from his Music for Airports - she stands semi-transparent watching the living, including the hunk she had a crush on, her younger sister and even her killer. Sorry-this guy's so transparent he might as well have 'Child Molester' tattooed on his forehead.ДЄt first, Susie watches as her parents, played by Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz, react to her disappearance and the discovery of large amounts of her blood - no body - in a pit in a field. He shifts uncomfortably when he's questioned by an oddly oblivious detective played by The Sopranos's Michael Imperioli, who looks in amazement on Harvey's intricate homemade dollhouses. Harvey, is played by Stanley Tucci with a finicky comb-over and caterpillar mustache.

Susie tells the story of her murder - rape isn't mentioned in the film - by a serial killer who happens to live in her neighborhood.

The actress has a lyrical presence, but the movie uses her and those eyes for a kind of cheap mystical sentimentality. There isn't a second that rings true - on any level.ДЄs in the book, the narrator is Susie Salmon, played by Saoirse Ronan with red hair and pale, glowing blue eyes. But Jackson's adolescent New Age computer-generated fantasyland is an excruciating fusion of the novel's primal trauma and his own sensibility, which is more at home with juvenile, male-dominated Lord of the Rings epics. The book opens with the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl, so even a good adaptation would be an ordeal. Sitting through Peter Jackson's film of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones is an ordeal.
