I'm feeling a bit dim. What point did it drive home? What specifically is wrong with movies' portrayal of "harmony with nature"?
...that we can bring it to our homes in discrete little pieces, since we are part of it, and by doing so benefit nature, too. (Interestingly, I have heard people tell me that it was we who 'murdered the flowers'.)
Oh, OK. (I don't think I've ever before encountered the idea that we benefit nature by having cut flowers in our homes.)
I'd always just assumed that flowers one buys are grown especially for that purpose and wouldn't have been grown otherwise. If that's so, it doesn't seem like having flowers around your house does much harm.
I have encountered it many times:) usually after I ask people why they do ..., they often ramble to the point.
