Quotes

Susie Salmon: My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Susie. I was fourteen years old when I was murdered on December 6th, 1973. I wasn't gone. I was alive in my own perfect world. But in my heart, I knew it wasn't perfect. My murderer still haunted me. My father had the pieces but he couldn't make them fit. I waited for justice but justice did not come.

In the scene where Suzie's dad is sitting with his face next to a candle, staring out the window into the dark of the night, his and the candles' reflections are shown in the glass. The movement of the fire on the candle is not the same as the movement of its reflection. [It's not supposed to be the same. It's an indication of Suzie's spirit trying to make contact with him. That's the whole point of the scene.]

When Abigail, Susie's mother, returns from her long absence, her hair is short. After this, there is a shot of her when the father leaves for work, and she has long hair. Then when she's making Suzie's bed, her hair is short again. [This is not a mistake and is meant to show that time has passed. Abigail was unable to enter Susie's bedroom for a very long time. It is only after she has sufficiently healed emotionally, that she can go into the room again. Her hair changes somewhat during the intervening years (from the time she returns home, to where she's sitting on the porch as Jack leaves for work, and finally, much later, when she's in Susie's bedroom). You'll also notice that the younger daughter, Lindsey, has since graduated from high school, has married, and is now pregnant. Approximately seven years have passed since Susie's murder.]

Harvey and the man at the sink hole had great difficulty rolling the safe. How did Harvey move it from the basement to his vehicle in seconds, since Suzie's sister had just escaped with the incriminating book? Why move the safe at all at that point? Why did Harvey not back his vehicle up to the sink hole? [Questions, not mistakes. All have been answered here and elsewhere. Try Google.]
