Film Review, Bella's Fantastic Garden This Beautiful Fantastic

Introducing a love fairy tale for an older young woman - Bella's Fantasy Garden. A real heart-warming work, with a strong British flavor and a touch of love; although the plot is old-fashioned, it combines fresh and funny characters to create a different aesthetic mood.

This book, written by Simon Aboud, tells the story of Bella, a girl with obsessive-compulsive disorder, who tries to remodel her back garden in order to avoid being evicted by her landlord. The film is one and a half hours long, without any sense of procrastination, the relationship between the characters is extremely simple, the plot is simple and easy to understand, and the audience can relax and enjoy it easily.

Briefly talk about the overview of some works, and then explain the highlights of the film in detail.
I. Talking about the actor
Jessica Brown Findlay as Bella, the obsessive-compulsive girl. With the role of Lady Sybil in the British drama "Downton Abbey", she is impressive with her outstanding talent, moving beauty, and incomparable classical temperament.
This film portrays a weird girl. Jessica interprets this role very well through her body language, facial expressions (such as: closing the door repeatedly, having to eat breakfast at 6:30, everything is neatly placed, etc.) Attributes - OCD.

Andrew Scott plays the hot man chef Vernon. Audiences who have watched "Sherlock" (Sherlock) will remember his Moriarty starring vividly, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. After a careful look at his resume, he has won many awards and performed amazingly talented, absolutely high-quality actors.
In the film, he plays a warm man, who comes at his fingertips, shows his gestures, and warms people's hearts.

Tom Wilkinson plays Stephenson, an eccentric gardener (a neighbor to Bella and Vernon's employer). Veteran British actor, nominated for Oscar and other major awards for many times.
In the film, he plays a strange and pretentious old man. Every line, every tone, every tone of voice shows Stephenson's arrogance and disdain, and his acting skills are too good.

II. Let’s talk about the plot.
At the beginning of the chapter, I used two words to describe the plot of the work—old-fashioned. From the beginning of several opposites to render the atmosphere (1, Bella's hated plants and Stephenson's favorite plants. 2, Vernon's warm heart and Stephenson's indifference. 3, Bella's house is neat and orderly and the outdoor garden is cluttered), to the middle section The reconciliation (Bella and Stephenson, together to create a warm little garden), to the final "twisted" love (Bella and engineering otaku Billy, from love to misunderstanding to reconciliation). A sufficiently routine plot arrangement does not weaken the appreciation of the work, but instead has a mellow aroma of "new wine in old bottles".

III. The plot of the fairy tale, all the designs of the real life
film are like fairy tales, very bright, very beautiful, very beautiful, and the final ending is even more heartwarming. But when we think about these plots and watch these characters carefully, it seems that Yingyingchaochuochao sees his own shadow. Yes! The characters of these people in the play more or less allude to the appearance of ordinary people. The only difference is that the film has enlarged these characters, showing a unique drama, highlighting the opposition of the characters, and increasing the fullness of the narrative. The real life cannot be as dreamy and gorgeous as the movie, but the two have one thing in common, that is, the pursuit of a better future and the search for one's own life direction.

Written at the end, interesting people, colorful stories, and dreamlike scenes constitute the purpose of this film, which is fresh, warm and warm.

Director★★★★☆(Grasp the rhythm of the story and adjust the atmosphere of the plot well)
Actors★★★★★(The five main characters are all excellent, especially Anna Chancellor, who plays Bramble)
Story★★★★☆(Old Set but not cliché, especially suitable for young boys and girls to watch)
visual effects ★★★★☆ (British atmosphere, lazy, elegant, beautiful)
sound effects ★☆☆☆☆ (very general, not enough room for performance)

Recommended crowd: everyone

This Beautiful Fantastic quotes

  • Vernon: Good morning. I'm Vernon. I'm Miss Brown's... uh, partner.

    Gideon O'Brien: Gideon O'Brien, landlord. We were just discussing the spectacular level of neglect relating to the 29-foot north-facing garden with lawns and well-stocked borders.

    Vernon: Yeah right. We're just about to get into the garden. That's a major priority. That's top of the list.

    Gideon O'Brien: I'm afraid it's too late for that. I shall have to ask you to vacate by the end of the month.

    Vernon: [to Bella] We're you expecting Mr. O'Brien this morning?

    Bella Brown: I wasn't.

    Vernon: Right.

    [Back to O'Brien]

    Vernon: And you made an appointment?

    Gideon O'Brien: I beg your pardon?

    Vernon: Section 34 of the Property Act. A landlord must give clear warning if he wants to inspect the property.

    Gideon O'Brien: We'll come back later, then.

    Vernon: Can't do later. That's not convenient. A convenient date must be mutually agreed. That's Section 17c.

    Gideon O'Brien: Tomorrow, then.

    Vernon: Tomorrow's no good.

    Gideon O'Brien: Friday?

    Vernon: Friday... No, can't do Friday.

    Gideon O'Brien: Next Monday.

    Vernon: Next Monday's no good.

    Gideon O'Brien: All right, then, when?

    Gideon O'Brien: One calendar month's notice. Section 17c. You'll know that.

    Gideon O'Brien: There will be repercussions, Miss Brown. If this garden's not fixed, you're out on the street. You have exactly one month from today.

  • Bella Brown: Luna couldn't always fly, you know. Well, long ago, before the world was round, Luna and the rest of her species inhabited a... remote forest. They had... tiny little wings but were flightless. They foraged around on the forest floor and... kept themselves very much to themselves. Luna lost her parents at a very early age. They were taken from Luna... just like that. No explanation. Barely out of the nest, she was too young to know anything. She was such a worrier. Only coming out for food briefly when all the other animals had gone to sleep and the... the forest floor was bathed in moonlight. She was such a scrawny little thing. A loner. Well, life was passing by until one day Luna saw a kindly traveler holding a thing of... great wonder and beauty and... and... And that's it... for now.

    Bella Brown: Mesmerized, Luna couldn't help but think about the peony. Luna asked the traveler where he got the beautiful flower. "There are many," the traveler said. "From the top of the mountain, you can see thousands... a sea of petals that will make your heart sing, for it's a beautiful sight." "But how will I get to the top of the mountain? I can't fly and I only come out at night." But the traveler had heard this before. "You seek the rarest flower from the top of the tallest mountain in the world. If you want to see them enough, you will." Luna was scared and excited, in equal measure. "I think I will find my mother and father there." The traveler smiled. "You have much to learn, child. Are you sure you want to continue on this perilous quest?"

    Bella Brown: But Luna knew that whatever obstacle stood in her way, her quest could not fail. She had been greatly inspired by the words of the wonderful traveller. He would stand by her.

    Bella Brown: Then, one night, alone in the forest, Luna resolved to find the magic flowers herself, even if it meant confronting terrifying demons. She had nothing left to lose.

    Bella Brown: And as Luna drank in the view, she was filled with something quite magical. In the distance she could see the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, which isn't a sea at all but actually the biggest lake in the world. Luna thanked the traveler. "Oh, it's nothing. You haven't done the hard part yet." "Really?" said Luna. "Now, you must believe," said the traveler. And he pushed Luna off the mountain. Luna screamed to the traveler, "Why did you do that? I can't fly." "Says who?" he replied. And the wind lifted Luna off the mountain and she soared. "Can you see them now?" yelled the traveler. "Yes," said Luna, gliding through the air with the wind whistling between her wings. "I can see thousands of them." And for the first time in a hundred years, the traveler allowed himself a smile.
