Are there any metaphysical questions in the movie "The Lovely Bones"?

Absolutely. I mean Metaphysical questions are concerned with ideas of existence and causality. Well the idea of existence is really explored throughout The Lovely Bones. I mean Susie Salmon dies and continues to exist in an afterlife, in a perfect world. She ceases to exist in the real world in a physical sense but exists in the memories of her family and in the possessions she left behind. So she dies but doesn't stop existing.
