[@victorialyn3455]

How can people dislike this

[@elfteacher]

people can dislike it 1. for its horrible bathetic music, 2. for the way the flower's motion is cut so you can't see the whole of it.

One can dislike it because the way of editing is eliminating partially the esthetic of the flower movement when opening. Very often the outer flower parts are leaving the window for no reason and the movement generally is a bit too fast.

[@edilbertcampomanes9365]
