Film set in Yorkshire: The Secret Garden🐾

When it comes to the film set in Yorkshire, the medieval Shambles as Diagon Alley in Harry Potter is one of the famous scenes. The Secret Garden is also a very popular film based on a novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in 1911 in the context of Yorkshire. And there are different versions of movies, the one I watched last week was the 1987 version.

It is about a 10-year-old British girl, Mary, who was sent to Yorkshire where she lives in her wealthy uncle’s manor after her parents died in India. She is used to be spoiled in India and had no friends at all in Yorkshire. She is thought to be a difficult girl by the people around. She goes about the manor alone every day and finally her curiosity helps her to find the key to a locked secret garden, which the master of the manor didn’t allow anyone to entry due to her loved wife died accidentally there.

🌹It’s my garden now.

      🌹My own secret garden.  

With this new discovery, Mary started to change her self-centred personality by sharing this information with her new friends: Dickon, a good-natured boy outside the manor and Colin, her sick cousin living in the manor. Colin is believed born to be a cripple lying in the bed and thus he is unhappy and has a bad temper, However, Mary makes him laugh by showing ‘Yorkshire laugh and Yorkshire talk’. Colin is inspired by her descriptions about this garden and asks to go out to have a look. 

Afterward, visiting the hidden locked garden every day secretly and planting flowers and plants there in the fresh air becomes their new activity. Both their personality and health are changing in a good way, even maids chat about this and say:

🌸Yorkshire rain makes flowers and children bloom. 

The end of the storyline is pretty. Colin recovers from illness and is able to walk with the encouragement of Mary and his own efforts. And the broken-hearted manor’s master, Mary’s uncle, is surprised at Colin’s recovery when he returned home after leaving for a while. Flowers are now in full bloom in this secret garden. As Mary says:

🌼Wonders never cease.

In Yorkshire, I have my own secret garden, too; and more than one. 

🌼秘密花園

當談到在約克郡拍的電影時，中世紀的SHAMBLES街作為哈利·波特的《對角巷》是著名的場景之一。 《秘密花園》是另一部受歡迎的電影，改編自弗朗西斯·霍奇森·伯內特（Frances Hodgson Burnett）於1911年在約克郡背景下創作的小說。它已出了很多電影版本,我剛就看了一部1987年版的.

故事大概是說有一個10歲的英國女孩瑪麗，她的父母在印度去世後，她被送到約克郡，住在她叔叔的莊園裡。她曾經在印度被寵壞，在約克郡根本沒有朋友。周圍的人認為她是一個很難搞的女孩。她每天獨自一人去莊園亂晃，最後，她的好奇心使她找到了一個鎖著的秘密花園的鑰匙，莊園的主人由於她所愛的妻子在這裡意外去世而不允許任何人進入。

🌹現在是我的花園

🌹我自己的秘密花園。

有了這個新發現，瑪麗開始想與新朋友分享此訊息而有些改變自己以自我為中心的性格：Dickon,莊園外的一個心性善良的男孩，還有她住在莊園裡生病的表弟科林（Colin）。大家以為科林天生就是躺在床上不良於行，他也因此脾氣暴躁不開心。不過，瑪麗卻以“約克郡的笑聲和約克郡的談話”使他笑了。Colin受到她對這個花園的描述的啟發，要求出外看看。

之後, 這3個孩子每天都會偷偷去秘密花園並在新鮮的空氣中種花草，這成為他們的新活動。他們的性格和健康狀況都在發生很好的變化，甚至女傭也聊著說：

                🌸約克郡的雨水使鮮花和兒童綻放青春。

故事情節的結尾是美好的。Colin從疾病中康復，能夠在瑪麗的鼓勵和自己的努力下行走了。心碎的莊園主人瑪麗的叔叔在離開家一會後返家時對科林恢復感到驚喜。現在，這個秘密花園裡開滿了鮮花。如同Mary說的:

                 🌱奇蹟永不止息!

🌷在約克郡，我也有自己的秘密花園。而且不止一個。
