This has turned out to become one of my favourite all time movies. I remember exactly how I found this wonderful movie. I have yet to read the book, although it is on my list of books to read – the movie was enough to suffice my feelings at the time. For someone who finds it hard to just get on with life when you are at the bottom of the wheel of fortune this movie the best pick-me-up. This movie shows that no matter what happens in your life, you can always make something of it. It also shows that what you want and wish for you do receive; only not always in the way you expected. Hope plays a key factor here. No matter who or what you believe in, it is always there, it is human nature to believe in something - to hope.
Buying something on impulse is not always my thing. I will window shop, and think about it. If I have the money and would like it I do consider buying. But if I have bills to pay – I let it wait for another day. This movie however there was something different about it. I heard a brief but touching review on the radio and in my heart I decided before I had even rented or watched it that I would buy it the first chance I got. I guess that is why this movie means so much to me. Francis, the main character did the same thing – only with a house, and it most fitting for me to own this beautiful masterpiece.
I love the sense and the symbolic plot of her building the house, and her life from the ruins – the bottom up. How she still had things go wrong, but she overcame them. Movies like this are enough to keep me going. And help me realise that when I hit rock bottom there is still a way to build it back up again, just with new and different foundations.
A quote that I really appreciated was “Always maintain your childish innocence” sometimes you can forget this thought. If you remember to stay by that quote and think of what magic there is still in this world – something as simple as a butterfly, or a ladybug- If you stay still enough and wait... the magic will find you.
So remember that when times are tough and you feel everything that you are standing on crumble and fall – you are not left with nothing, you just need to find the new area to build your foundations. You will always have them there; they are deep within your heart. All you have to do is find them, be patient and you will discover the beauty of this world. Material things do not matter, but people, life and feelings do.
Whenever you find yourself lost, find your own space – it doesn’t have to be outside, it could be with a crowd, on your own or with a close friend. Nothing is as bad as it seems, and you can always find a new place to build and grow. You will always be growing and changing with the seasons – no matter where you are in the world, what status you hold, how much money you have or who you are – you are always changing, growing and adapting to the world around you.
