The Rainbow Bridge

One of the biggest 'turning points' of this film is when Kiera, the object of Grant's affections, loses her beloved goldfish, Mr Finnsmore. She's so distraught that she turns to Grant, and his powers of the Black Arts, to bring her dear little fishie back from the dead.

But was this really necessary? Was she actually dragging Mr Finnsmore back from a place of joy - The Rainbow Bridge?

For those of you who weren't aware - and I'm not entirely sure that it's mentioned in the Bible - the Rainbow Bridge is a place that joins earth and Heaven, where the spirits of your dearly departed pets (or 'Fur Babies' as they're known on these sites...) will wait for you until you cark it yourself, and then you both head over to Heaven together.

And if you click on the image on the left, you can head to the Rainbow Bridges website - an online memorial where you can create your own tributes to lost pets, complete with wreaths, flowers, headstones, guest books for others to share their special memories - the lot.

In, fact, there are hundreds of sites dedicated to pets who have passed over - sharing stories of grief, sites that offer pet cremation, counselling services for when you lose an animal, and even services that allow you to have your favourite pet stuffed, so that they can remained curled up on your bed until the end of time.

So, had Kiera decided just to 'let Mr Finnsmore go', there certainly would have been some excellent options available to her.
