the secret garden.

i have yet to read the original novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett (published 1909), but i think the 1993 film adaptation is simply phenomenal.
yesterday, i was able to watch it again on HBO. i remember seeing it for the first time as a child. and man, did i love it. i was completely captivated by this film, and apparently, i still am. that's why it really saddens me how they don't make movies like these anymore. i swear, the 90's was such a good decade for kids like me.
since this isn't a movie review (i'm not a critic), i won't be telling you about the film's plot and whatnot. nonetheless. it's already pretty obvious that i personally loved the movie, so i highly recommend that you watch it. if you already have, watch it again.
P.S.
the look reminds me of what i wore to a costume party back in '06.

by the way, this is one of the many Francis Ford Coppola films that i have a soft spot for. i'm truly a huge fan of his (and his daughter Sofia Coppola's) work. they've directed/produced a whole bundle of outstanding films that have fascinated both viewers and critics alike.
