Bhavna

I find this concept of the flower atop a high mountain, the beautiful, unattainable woman, to be so intriguing. The main character is raised by a master flower arranger and she is expected to be the best of the best and carry on the family name and school. But her heart is yearning for something outside of the glass walls, and she meets this guy in a bicycle shop who looks like a muppet who has a heart of gold. She is basically the flower that came down from the mountain to hang out with the chickens. But I can understand her need for freedom, and in order to master something great, one has to open their heart. It’s just that I wasn’t really buying into their romance. It had this 90s Hollywood romcom feel to it that renders the romance as fake, melodramatic (mostly on the part of the female), and unnecessary. My opinion is that she should have stayed as the unattainable woman and found her true value from the divine source within. But oh well. The aesthetics were amazing. An interesting fusion of the traditional culture and the wild heart that wants to break free of it.
