Movie Reviews of The Secret Garden (Keepcase)
Movie Review: A Winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a third grade teacher in an inner city, I wanted to give my students the opportunity to view this classic. My desire to show it was tempered by the knowledge that my all-Hispanic class would be put off by English accents and costumes that are as far from their experience as can be. I was pleasantly surprise as all of them sat in rapt attention throughout the entire movie. Their review is better than mine - the best movie experience that they have ever had. Jennifer wants me to tell you that it was superb (we're working on tier two words.)
Summary of The Secret Garden (Keepcase)
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/08/2009Filmed before (and quite nicely) in 1949, Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's story was remade for this admirable 1993 release, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola and directed by acclaimed Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland. Splendidly adapted by Edward Scissorhands screenwriter Caroline Thompson, the film opens in India during the early 1900s, when young Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is orphaned and sent to England to live in Misselthwaite Manor, the gloomy estate of her brooding and melancholy uncle, Lord Craven (John Lynch). Because the uncle is almost always away on travels, struggling to forget the death of his beloved wife, Mary is left mostly alone to explore the estate. Eventually she befriends the young brother of a staff maid and Lord Craven's apparently crippled son, who has been needlessly bedridden for years. Together the three children restore a neglected garden on the estate grounds, and in doing so they set the stage for a moving reaffirmation of life and love. Filmed with graceful style and careful attention to the intelligence and cleverness of young children, The Secret Garden is that rarest breed of family film that transcends its own generic category, encouraging a sense of wonder and optimism to become a rewarding experience for viewers of any age. --Jeff Shannon
