It is a film based on the novel The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, which premiered on December 11, 2009 in United States.The film is directed by Peter Jackson. The main characters are: Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Michael Imperioli, and Saoirse Ronan. 

 

The action takes place in Pennsylvania. The story begins when a girl of 14 years, Susie Salmon, is on his way home through a field of corn. She meets his new neighbour, George, that is cheating to take her to the bottom of an underground room that it has built for the neighbourhood children. 

 

She decides to go down and when she tries to leave George rapes and kills her. The Salmon family becomes worried when Susie fails to return home from school. The Spirit of Susie runs to his home and tries to tell her parents that has come but they don't listen and she realises that never came out of that place. At that time she was sent to a place between Heaven and Earth. From where she watches his family. Detective Len Fenerman investigate the disappearance of Susie. The protagonist learns that George has killed six teenagers and hid his body in a strongbox in his cellar. Lindsey, Susie's sister, goes to the home of George looking for evidences. There he discovers a notebook containing a sketch of the pit, a lock of hair of Susie and several newspaper articles about the disappearance and murder of Susie.George escapes, he meets a young man in the street and offers to take her everywhere, but she refuses. It falls back on a cliff and suffered a painful death.


As the film concludes, Susie finally enters Heaven saying: "My name is Salmon, like the fish; first name Susie. I was 14 years old when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. I was here for a moment and then I was gone. I wish you all a long and happy life."

 

I think it's a great movie with a great and touching story.  What surprised me above everything is the voice-over of the protagonist which describes the feelings that the characters can not express.

Dragon Khan

Everyone knows the legend of Saint George. The prince saves the princess from a dragon, but the dragon in this story is not as bad as it seems. Once upon a time there was a princess named Sofia who  lived in a little village called Salou. One day she was  bored and she decided to go for a walk. Her father, the king of Salou, told  her :"YOU SHOULD NOT GO TO THE CAVES BECAUSE THERE'S A MYSTERIOUS BEING". The princess didn't listen to her father and she walked to the caves to see the mysterious being.


Sofia arrived to the place where the dragon lived. She was surprised to see that the animal wasn't so bad, just wanted a friend to play because he was alone. They spent the day together and at night the princess returned to her castle. She promised to return the next day to visit him but that day never came. The dragon was very sad and disappointed because he waited with high hopes the arrival of her new friend. The dragon was tired of waiting and decided to go find the princess. He began to walk around the town looking for the princess. His clawsteps echoed in every corner. When she arrived to the centre of the village, she watched as his friend was defending himself with his fire. She called him and said: "Escape,  they'll kill you". Sofia started running in the direction of the caves and the dragon followed her. The news came to the village where lived the future husband of the princess and he decided to save her wife. The prince did not hesitate a moment. He was determined to go at night to kill the dragon.



And that's the way it was. The prince stabbed a sword in his neck and then the dragon died. The next day the princess got up and she saw her friend dead. She was crying when suddenly the dragon became a roller coaster. The princess named it the Dragon Khan and nowadays you can visit it in PortAventura.
