The Secret Garden is a 1993 family film directed by director Agnes Guzman and starring Caitlin Kapken and Andrew Kaulk.

Based on the novel of the same name by Francis Hodgson Burnett, the film tells the story of a lonely girl who finds friendship and hope in a mysterious garden.

"The Secret Garden" takes place in England at the end of the 19th century and is a family-themed film. The film is based on the novel by Francis Hodgson Burnett, first published in 1911.

Set in the beautiful English countryside, the film tells the story of the protagonist, Mary Lennox, who searches for friendship and hope in a mysterious garden.

The story of the film centers on Mary Lenox (played by Caitlin Capken). Mary is a girl from a wealthy family, but her childhood is full of loneliness and alienation.

After her parents died in a cholera outbreak, she was sent to boarding schools as far away as India, where almost no one cared about her. Mary's personality became withdrawn and difficult to get along with.

However, an unexpected earthquake changed her fate. Her father's younger brother survived the earthquake and took her back to England, taking her to a magnificent estate full of secrets and mysteries. The owner of the manor was Mary's uncle, a rich but cold man who was so busy with work that he had little time to pay attention to her.

In the manor, Mary meets Dick (played by Andrew Calke), the son of the manor worker. Dick is a lively and friendly boy who befriends Mary. He introduces Mary to a mysterious garden that has been forgotten for many years, which was once beautiful but is now deserted.

Mary decides to restore the garden, she begins to care for the flowers, works with Dick, and also discovers some of the secrets of the estate, including a room that has been hidden for years and a door that has been locked all the time.

In the hard work in the garden, Mary not only discovered the beauty of the garden, but also gradually opened her own inner garden, overcoming loneliness and indifference.

Meanwhile, Mary befriends her cousin Colin (played by Haydn Pruitt), who has been trapped in a dark room for a long time due to illness.

Mary and Dick persuade her uncle to give Colin some time outdoors, and Colin becomes involved in the maintenance of the garden. They forged a deep friendship and worked together to overcome their own difficulties.

Eventually, not only was the garden brought back to life, but there was also a stronger bond between Mary and her family. Together, Mary, Dick and Colin find friendship and hope in this mysterious garden, and the story ends happily.

Mary, Dick, and Colin all experienced loneliness and alienation, but with each other's support in the garden, they forged a deep friendship and overcame loneliness.

The film emphasizes the power of nature and beauty, and the beauty and vitality of gardens help people change attitudes and emotions.

One of the main scenes of the film is Lenox Manor, the home of Mary's uncle, Archibald Craven. The estate is located in a lush part of the English countryside, surrounded by vast fields and woods.

The manor house is magnificent, and the exterior walls are typical of English country stone buildings in a strong classical style. The interior of the manor includes various rooms such as hall, living room, dining room and bedroom, all decorated very luxuriously and full of history.

The estate presents the audience with a mysterious and dramatic backdrop, as well as the rich background of the protagonist Mary.

One of the key scenes in the film is the gardens of the manor, especially the secret garden. This garden was once full of life and beauty, but has been abandoned over the years. The estate's gardens include a wide variety of plants, flowers and trees, from traditional English garden elements to wild natural landscapes.

The design of the garden emphasizes the harmony between nature and artificial, and it is where Mary, Dick and Colin reconnect and a key element in the story.

The film also includes some mysterious scenes, such as secret rooms and doors in the manor. These rooms and doors are often locked or hidden, giving the audience suspense and curiosity.

When these secrets are revealed, they become key points in the story, helping to move the plot forward. The design of these rooms and doors enhances the drama and mystery of the story.

The film's time span includes different seasons, and the autumn scenery occupies an important place in the film. The scenery of the estate becomes especially beautiful in autumn, with golden leaves and bare trees creating a special atmosphere. The scenery of this season reflects the inner changes of the protagonists and also brings visual enjoyment to the audience.

The mysterious garden in the movie has undergone a process of change from abandonment to rebirth, and the scene design of this process is very exciting. The viewer can see the gradual restoration of the garden, the growth of flowers and plants, and the return of beauty and vitality of the garden. The design of this scene is closely related to the theme of the film, emphasizing the power of hope, healing and friendship.

Colin's room is another important scene in the film, which is located in the dark part of the estate. Colin was confined to the room for a long time due to illness, and the interior of the room was dark and old, reflecting his loneliness and predicament. With Colin's contact with Mary and Dick, the room also underwent a change to become brighter and more vibrant.

The setting of the movie "Secret Garden" also includes extensive natural landscapes, such as lush forests, open fields and lakes. These landscapes present the viewer with the beauty and diversity of the English countryside, while also echoing the theme of nature in the story.
