While sorting out the movies I have seen, I came across this "Bella's Fantasy Garden" by chance, so I revisited it again.
When I watched this movie, it was late spring, and the courtyard was full of locust flowers, and then the locust flowers fell and the neem flowers bloomed again.
The film tells the story of the eccentric orphan Bella Bella, who dreams of becoming a children's book author. Because of her fear of plants, the garden in front of the rented house was abandoned. Just move away.
So Bella had to overcome her fear and started to tidy up the garden. She had no choice but to ask her neighbor Alfie. With AIfie's supervision and help, the abandoned garden was restored to order and vitality, and Bella's lonely heart was also found in love and family. Warmth heals and dreams come true.
The film is fresh and beautiful like a fairy tale. Perhaps the beauty of the fairy tale is that it is like a crystal, reflecting the wonderful brilliance from the plain reality.
It is undeniable that the plot of the movie is bland, more than fresh, and less than fantasy. The only thing related to fantasy is Bella's story about the bird named Luna, who forages at night and learns to fly in search of a magical sea of flowers with the encouragement of travelers. , this story later became Bella's children's book "Bella's Fantasy Garden", and the story itself is the growth process of the female protagonist Bella's real life.
The garden here is more like a metaphor for the inner world of the characters in the film: Bella's garden is desolate and overgrown with weeds, just like her loneliness and passive resistance to life, while the so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness are more derived from internal insecurity So when she met Alfie, Vernon and Billy, she gained a sense of security, and those little quirks slowly disappeared.
And Alfie, the arrogant old man who loves gardening and food but has a violent and vicious tongue, actually has a warm heart. When he brought Bella into his garden, the movie scene suddenly became colorful and dazzling. He could call out the flowers of every kind of flower. Names and growth habits, gardening is both a time to pass the time and a memory of my wife who loved gardening but died young.
He taught Bella to start with setting the tone for the garden, and then from the aesthetics of life to the philosophy of life, guiding BeIIa out of the autistic environment and living a normal life.
In his colorful garden, while introducing the habits of various flowers to BelIa, he told Bella: The world seems to be chaotic, but there is actually a beautiful order.
When Bella was cleaning the weeds in the garden, Alfie found a Florida wild strawberry among the weeds. He told Bella: Life is the same as nature, waiting for a place where it can bloom, looking for a light source, and adapting to the environment.
When Bella cleaned up the weeds and roots to hide from the rain, AIfie gave Bella a bag of sunflower seeds, and then told Bella: Plant this first, it is very beautiful, it will require a lot of light and heat, from sunrise to sunset, they It will follow the trajectory of the sun and try its best to absorb solar energy every day. It is a very smart flower.
Plants and trees have spirituality, grow toward the sun during the day, and grow quietly by the moonlight at night when there is no sunlight.
The timid Luna learned to fly by waving her tiny wings in the moonlight, reached the top of the mountain, and saw the sea of flowers.
Everyone has fear in their hearts, but some have overcome it, and some are still lurking like a nightmare.
If you've experienced restlessness and panic in your life, you can understand that Bella kept pushing the door every time she closed to make sure the door was locked, and even turned back to make sure after she walked out of the house, and then recited the hints in her mind. .
Everyone in the movie has some quirks, and they have to face their inner fears and the incompleteness of life. If you don’t want to live as a plant, people still have to stay together, accompany each other to keep warm to resist the desolation and impermanence of the world.
Not everyone can be like Bella. There are life mentors like Alfie who will drag you out of the dark corner and expose you to the sun. You can only grope and climb out by yourself, and fly by the moonlight in the dark night like Luna. Even if only your shadow is with you.
