I saw this movie on HBO today (2008.8.17.) and got some inspiration. That is, what are the components of a famous novel? Or, similarly, what constitutes a good movie? Specifically, it should be, what is a narrative symbol or movie symbol that fits the times? "Secret Garden" is adapted from the novel, the author of the novel, the Englishman Francis Hodgson Burnett, who was born in 1849 and died in 1924, was a British female writer who influenced the entire 20th century. That is to say, her narrative symbols reflect the emotion between modernity and postmodernity. This emotion is the emotion of modern people, their heart knot, and their collective unconscious. To find and discover this narrative symbol is to find the spiritual life, problem nodes and outline of people in modern life.
The theme of "Secret Garden" is to use virginity to cure nightmares, use nature to revive the soul, and let chaos return to freshness. Treat pre-modern chaotic nightmares with modern sunny fairy tales.
Looking at the post-modern day, "Secret Garden" sees many modern symbols. This also illustrates a popular work whose essence is to capture and reflect the rhythms of people's hearts, the crux of problems and spiritual symbols at that time. People's restless minds are carried and immersed by it, and the confused complex is pointed out from it (finding the problem means grasping the problem and gaining a sense of stability), which is bright and bright, and the restless spirit is fixed and illuminated by it.
In short, the spiritual symbol of the times, this is what a good novel and a good movie must find and carry, all her secrets. The reason why "Secret Garden" is circulated is because she points to the "Secret Garden" in people's hearts. His story represents the "Secret Garden", and his narrative dredges the "Secret Garden" in the depths of people's spirits.
The first is to make up the character, a beautiful but wild girl. The audience came to be out of the rules and to vent the constraints of daily life; a peasant's child who was close to nature, and even himself was as simple as nature. You must know that modern society is a time when the aristocracy is cast aside and the humble are the smartest. The basis of the wisdom of the lowly is that he is nature, and he depends on nature. This is a rebellion against the complicated etiquette of aristocratic society and the noisy rhythm of industrial society through harmonious and simple nature (including folk and fields); a spoiled child who has awakened and remade a new person. Such three children can be named "Creation", "Nature" and "Vice" by modern thinking
The second is the structure of the story. An adventure is not a material treasure but a spiritual treasure, a story that ends with a rich spirit of harmony, ethics, and family affection, a story that is hurt by the true feelings and then restored, a story about returning to nature, and a story with a touch A magical story that comforts the noisy and boring soul of the machine age.
There is also the use of the symbolic structure of modernity, order overcomes secrets - the secret garden of returning to order, and the relationship between natural mountains, playgrounds, gardens, sky and people that have been regulated in a clear and orderly manner. It's a pastoral symphony and a poem of harmonious human relations. Purity overcomes mystery - the spell calls the father back. Technological Processes Overcome Hidden Essences - The slow-motion technique of flowers blooming in the film explains the secrets of nature's evolution. Simple fables overcome the chaotic phenomena of life -
In addition, comparing the two environments, it is the bright and beautiful natural fields that restrict the ancient and mysterious castle; the child resumes walking, it is the natural sunlight movement that overcomes the strange artificial treatment; the child and the adult, it is the activities of the new-born child that overcome the old-fashioned discouragement The behavior of adults; flowers and grasses are the seeds sown by children to overcome the decaying shrub and weed garden; closed and open, it is the children who open the windows, let the sunshine in, and let the little boy change his character...
Locking and unlocking, repression and liberation, many readers and audiences have experienced the freedom of the soul——
Beautiful films, just right to my taste, are the type of films I like. The ones that gave me the same subtle experience are "Mysterious Village", "Spirited Away", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and other films. These films are like the ruins behind my house when I was a child, which made me terrified and excited. I have walked into the old house with fear and excitement more than once, just like walking into another world. To somewhere else, to the unknown. S-shaped stone walls, decaying pillars, carved wooden fans, weeds on the floor, the unique smell of a broken house, the face of the imaginary owner—I think it is far from reality. The reason why "Peach Blossom Spring" is a thousand-year-old classic in just over 100 words is because it creates a mysterious unknown place for people. It's beautiful and precious, and the entrance may be behind your cupboard, in a tree hole in your yard, in the jungle behind your house. The mysterious world of "Spirited Away", doesn't it appear after passing through a temple gate after getting lost? It's easy to misunderstand the gothic vibe of the first half of the film for those who haven't read the original book, it's a thriller and nerve-wracking, and the soundtrack is erratic, as if from a distant world, giving it a noir experience. The film is slightly different from the original. The second half, Chun and Jingming, is in sharp contrast with the previous one. Weeping is replaced by laughter, roses bloom, and ivy climbs the rusted iron gate. Everything came alive. You will laugh with relief, we are all immature children with a secret garden in our hearts.
