"The Secret Garden" movie review...


 School is back for the last term of the year and during the holidays, last week, my family and I were able to watch a movie together as a family. It was the above movie which was interesting having watched it an earlier version of it.

It stars Collin Firth, who's acted on so many classic English movies, however, in this one it didn't really interest me as much as it was shot with quite dark scenes (I suppose to show what it might have been like in those days near the moors) and although it significantly changes to brighter scenes in the garden it just didn't seem to have the same brilliance as the former version.

We also watched it having missed Samoan White Sunday or Lotu Tamaiti which was last week Sunday i.e. the second Sunday of October whereby children and teens (and sometimes adults) recite bible verses, act in plays, and sing biblical songs or dance and all finishing in with a big feast.

Although some churches went ahead and prepared during lockdown level 2, our church decided to cancel it for this year and will await next year to see if all is well to continue with this tradition. It was interesting to see that quite a few shops had white clothing for sale on their displays but probably fewer churches participated this year.

Oh well, looking forward to what next year brings and movies that are a lot more brighter...
