Review The Secret Garden The Secret Garden
Pedro 2022-03-25 09:01:14
The soundtrack is great, and the film goes from gloomy to sunny, from the reconstruction of the garden in Mary and Dickon to the emotional and psychological changes of the Craven father and son. The other 3 young actors also have natural acting skills, and the maid Martha is also very smart and cute, with a strong European style. Mary has changed from a perverse and uncaring little girl to being easy to get along with, willing to plant and love nature. Colin has grown from a weak, sensitive, negative boy to an optimistic, nature-loving boy. All these changes come from an abandoned back garden that has been closed for many years. A great healing drama about growing up.

Colin: I'm master of this house while my father is away.
Mary: Your father? He's my uncle. Nobody told me he had a son.
Colin: Come here. What's your name?
Mary: Mary Lennox.
Colin: I'm Colin Craven.
Mary: Our mothers were sisters. Twins.
Colin: Twins? Nobody told me she had a twin. Fluff the pillows for me, Cousin Mary.
Mary: What?
Colin: The covers on this bed are all twisted.
Mary: Well, I don't know what to do about it. I'll call Mrs. Medlock.
Colin: No! She'll be mad if she finds you in here.

Colin: See, that's a picture of my mother.
Mary: Why do you keep a curtain over her?
Colin: My father doesn't like to see it. I don't look like her at all. But *you*, you look like her. She smiles too much.
Mary: Smiles too much? How can anybody smile too much?
Colin: Sometimes I hate her. She died when I was born.
Mary: But I thought she died in her garden.
Colin: Her garden? What garden?
Mary: Oh, just a garden. There are so many of them here.
