From the beginning of sorrow to the happy ending, which is the so-called growth and healing.
Mary has been neglected by her parents since she was a child, has no friends, and is "willful and withdrawn"; Colin has never been out of a sealed room since she was born, and has always lived in fear of being dominated by death; Mr. Craven indulges in the pain of widowhood and has not been able to walk out for ten years ...
Such three people, like the garden that has been abandoned for ten years, have no vitality of life.
The garden was brought back to life, and the lives of the protagonists were restarted: Mary knew how to cry, Colin ran out of the room and embraced the garden with his father, and Mr. Craven, while unsealing the garden that had been closed for ten years, also stretched Ten years of frowning...
The garden is gorgeous and beautiful, so the ending is romantic and warm.
But behind this romanticism, there are always some complicated emotions that linger.
Empathy is really a false proposition. When Colin and his father Craven were embracing each other and crying, Mary, who was standing beside her, felt that she was forgotten again and ran away, and after being comforted by Craven, Mary happily turned around with them, and was very happy with the first seed from the seed. The seed accompanies Dickon by his side, and Mary is also briefly forgotten, allowing Dickon, who has completed his mission, to ride away alone...
Is love also selfish? After losing his wife, Craven chose to distance himself from his weak son for fear of experiencing the pain of loss again. Without love, there would be no pain? This logic is confusing and depressing!
And the only "villain" of the movie, the maid Mrs. Medlock, really played a role in "fueling the flames", stubbornly taking care of Colin in his own way, as if he was constantly imposing his ideas on the child but still saying "for the sake of Hello" parents, the resistance of the colins, I don't know if there is a "cure" for the Medlocks.
The movie is still calm, the actors are lovely, and the whole is still healing.
