This Beautiful Fantastic

This Beautiful Fantastic Poster
This Beautiful Fantastic story is about Bella Brown (Jessica Brown Findlay), who was abandoned, momentarily raised by ducks, found by a lunatic who enjoys hypothermia, grown up to fear flora and obsessed with order.  Also about her neighbor Alfred Stephenson (Tom Wilkinson), an old rich man.

Eating at the exact time, one toothbrush for each day of week, wearing like going to a funeral and checking the locked door over and over; but with those, how she could be late for work is beyond me.

Girl meets boy, girl likes the boy and vice versa, typically and certainly, Bella and Billy (Jeremy Irvine) are just two oddballs meant to collide.

Then the garden trouble came, and that's why she feared of plants.  If not, that garden wouldn't be neglected, it would be ridiculously and meticulously planted and maintained, well, probably just lawn with diamond patterned mowing.  In other word, it would be a boring garden and this would be renamed to This Boring Dull.

The garden brought the two neighbors and the whole story together, I really like Alfred's story when he was telling her and tried to get her sorry-ass out of bed.  I was hoping On Discovering a Garden by Arthur Mildmay would be a real book, but it's not.  Fictionally, it was written by his old friend, also his lover, Rose Milton.

Perhaps, how he became such grumpy and heartless old man was because of his loss of Rose.  As he said, he saw the seeds of passion of life in her, that must have remind him of Rose, and he changed.

Vernon (Andrew Scott), interesting single father with two daughters, he seemed to have some grasps at law, but he was also a great cook and a catalyst, if it wasn't him to budge into Bella's house and made a mess—by her standard of order—she might not even have such transformation in the end.

The story of Luna, the mechanical bird which Billy invented, was her story.  Like in the story, Alfred the Traveler gave Bella the Luna a push, and she finally can see the world the way she supposed to be seeing.

  1. This is my favorite movie of all time and was also sad to find the book was not real. I would like to sign up for the Adopted Duck Society as well!

  2. Shalom. Fantastic film and how the life of every human being can be transformed when we put true love and humility to be an eternal apprentice. We are all pilgrims and strangers, waiting for the return to our eternal abode. I kiss on everyone's heart. Pleasure! Professor Mota. Red Sea. Alagoas, Brazil

  3. Just watched this film and loved it! Looked all over for the book as I thought it might inspire me - have a garden to sort out. I had thought the abandoned baby Bella was going to turn out to be Rose's... Excellent.
