"The Secret Garden", which was staged on Broadway in 1991, extended the original work, adding the plot of the family doctor (the male protagonist’s younger brother) who had a crush on his brother and sister who had passed away for many years, and strengthened Sir Craven and Colin. The dramatic tension between the father and son is trying to show in the theater that it is located in the Yorkshire Moors, a lifeless mansion, a garden that has been blocked for ten years, the ghosts and ghosts that wander from time to time on the field, looming The wailing and the secrets buried for many years.
Coupled with Landesman's ingenuity, the entire stage was designed to resemble a Victorian fairy tale book-flying little angels, small sailboats, small flowers, and small grasses are inlaid on the border of the stage, and the model scene of the huge building is also faintly set off. The little girl frowned.
In 1919, the silent film version of "The Secret Garden" came out, and since then began its screen career; the chief child star Margaret O'Brien of the 1940s also played the role of the protagonist Mary; the audience here is more familiar. It is the latest version in 1993. Director Aguieszka Holland used high-tech visual effects and special photography techniques to exquisitely present the process of the garden from desolate to lush and blooming on the big screen.
In addition, the "Secret Garden" on the TV screen has also won the audience's favor. The interpretation of various versions of 1975, 1987, 1994, etc., coupled with the promotion of cartoon films, is not only for children, but also far away from childhood. Adult audiences for a long time can also explore its charming charm.
Cholera was raging in India (the British colonial area) in 1904. At only ten years old, Mary, a stubborn temper, woke up one day and found that all her relatives and friends were killed (including Mary’s parents); Mary was sent back to England alone. The Yorkshire Moors took refuge in his only relative, his uncle Sir Craven.
Sir Craven, who was born with a hunchback and widowed for ten years, banished himself for ten years. He did not dare to open his heart to the newcomer Mary. He did not dare to care for his own son Colin. He just blocked himself and his beloved wife Lily for many years. Carefully cultivate the irrigated garden, unwilling to give love and consideration again, afraid of being betrayed again-as if Lily passed away...
The arrogant Mary discovered the garden that had been blocked for ten years before the rainy season; she secretly planted the entire garden together with the cheerful waitress Martha, Martha's younger brother Dickon, and the unsatisfactory Colin. In the spring, the garden is full of business. In the process of watering the garden, Mary and Colin kept this secret on the one hand, and learned a lot from the endless nature. They grew up in the garden; in Lily’s Grow under the guardianship of the gods.
Mr. Craven, who was wandering all over the world, discovered this secret after returning home-the ill-advised Colin would stand and leave, and the delicate and stubborn Mary would cry sadly, and Craven herself walked out of the shadows and found a new "love". "Lily's way.
The secret garden is no longer a secret at last, the flowers in the garden are blooming, the seasons change, winter passes and spring comes; Lily’s god gently blows a kiss to the three of them -Come to my garden; come, sweet child!
