Movie plants

There are many plants that appear in the movies

Plants often play a very important role in movies. The passage of time and even the different states of mind are represented by them. Thus, a field full of flowers gives us to understand that the characters have hope, or that they are in love and / or happy; On the other hand, a landscape with trees without leaves or with withered plants makes us suspect that they are sad or discouraged.

But also there are a number of movie plants that have conquered our hearts. They are those that, for some reason or another, every time we remember these classics we think of them with great ease.

Beauty and the beast

The rose bush is a shrub that gives beautiful flowers

Who does not remember the love story between an innocent woman and her beast? This movie taught us that beauty is inside, and that is the only thing that should matter. But it also showed us that in order to love it is necessary to be humble, have empathy and respect for the other person.

And all thanks to a rose.

The story begins when an elderly woman in need asks a Prince for help. He, seeing her appearance, refused to give her shelter. But then he saw how she was transformed into a beautiful woman, and how he happened to be a horrible beast linked to a magic rose. 

Whoever was an old woman, told him that the spell would only be undone when he learned to love. But he had to hurry up and do it before the last petal fell. Luckily, after a series of events, he met Bella, and with his true love he was able to become a man again.

Memories of a Geisha

Japanese cherry trees are protagonists in Memoirs of a Geisha

In this movie the Cherry trees They appear on several occasions, and these trees are very important to traditional Japanese culture, especially during spring, which is when they bloom. In fact, there is a legend that says that a long, long time ago, when warriors fought battles almost daily leaving their country in sadness, there was a forest full of very beautiful trees that produced flowers ... except one.

To this specimen no one approached him out of fear, until a fairy visited him and told him that she wanted to see it lush. For this reason, he proposed that for 20 years he could feel what the human feels, becoming one of them if he wanted, but if after that time he had not recovered his vitality, he would end up dying.

Submerged in a deep state of depression, the tree became a man on many occasions trying to find enough strength to be able to flourish. However, when he did, he became even sadder, for he only saw sadness. But everything changed when he saw a young woman near a stream. Her name was Sakura.

She was very nice to him, and they quickly became friends. Over time, Yohiro, who was the name of the tree, confessed that he loved her. But he also did something else: he told her who he really was, and that he was going to die soon because he had failed to flourish. Then he left and was transformed back into a tree.

One afternoon, Sakura came up to him and hugged him. Then the fairy appeared and asked her if she wanted to remain human, or merge with Yohiro to be a single tree. She did not hesitate: after seeing the sadness that plagued the fields daily, she chose to merge with Yohiro. Only then did the once tormented tree blossom.
