Plot hole: So he needed the help of a big strong burly guy to flip the safe with the body, end over end to the pit, but he somehow was able to easily get it out of his basement and into the back of his car by himself?
The Lovely Bones (2009)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Peter Jackson
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon, Rachel Weisz, Stanley Tucci, Saoirse Ronan
Continuity mistake: At Susie's locker, when Ray first approaches her, she is startled and closes her locker door almost completely, but not quite. In the next shot, the door is completely shut without her having touched it.
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.
Trivia: When Susie is in the mall bookstore watching Ray, there is an advertisement on the window for "The Lord of the Rings." Director Peter Jackson is best known for directing the film adaptation of this book series.
Question: Why did the killer park his car so far away from the hole that he was trying to push the safe into?
Answer: No reason is given, and it made no sense other than it served to draw out the scene as Susie's spirit returns to bid Ray goodbye just as her body inside the safe is about to be dumped into the sinkhole. It gives a sense of finality to her death, showing she is transitioning from limbo to Heaven.
