Flowers can bloom only after a long endure: Stephen King focused on the bloom itself, when the film tried to show the harsh journey the flower has had until it finally gets to bloom in beauty. The film shows a boy who tries to bloom.
Spring is filled with pain-pain that follows the new bloom: pain of leaving the familiar, pain of confronting something unfamiliar, and pain of blooming. The boy in the film met his pain of leaving the familiar when the monk ordered him to go back and put the rocks off the animals. What the boy did had been natural and familiar, but the monk said what the boy did was wrong, and that is when the boy feels the pain of leaving his nest. He then goes through the pain of confronting something unfamiliar: the death. The ‘familiar’ world here means the world the boy was in: where the things he did with the fish, frog, and the snake was just a mere joke and they didn’t die, or suffer much. The death of fish and the frog brought the unfamiliar world right upfront the boy, painfully. Pain of blooming- this is the, probably the harshest journey the boy gets to go through- the boy will regret, thinking about how violent he was and how foolish he was, and he will regret again and again. The next scene will probably the boy burying the dead, blood-covered snake: from the start to the end he will shiver in the fear of the violence within himself, and for months he will suffer with the dream of the dead snake. For his whole life he will never forget the bloody image- and that is the result, the bloom- he will never put on jokes like that on animals because now he know the world that was once unfamiliar to him, and the world that is 'real.'
Flower blooms and that is when it eventually faces the real world. The kid, with the experience, now went one step closer to the real world: that his actions can result in such violence, beyond his intentions.
Looking for a personal connection here, not summary. But not bad.
