'Destination Wedding': The wonderful story behind Winona Ryder's quirky plant scenes

Director Levin calls Winona extremely bright and creative as a writer while describing the brilliance she brought to the scenes.
PUBLISHED SEP 2, 2018

Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder have rekindled their on-screen chemistry for the fourth time in Victor Levin’s ‘Destination Wedding’ - a movie that questions love, relationships, happiness and life so much that it forces you to reconsider your notions about these concepts. There are some very interesting scenes that drive home some very specific points regarding these themes, one of which is Winona’s Lindsay breathing Oxygen into the plants around her. It reinstates her sense of loneliness and dire need for living things to be around her and possibly to contribute to their wellbeing.   

It turns out there is a very interesting and long journey that ended with the plants. Director Levin explains, “It was originally planned that she had a service dog. The sole responsibility of the dog was emotional support.” Unfortunately, though, the dog turned out to be too expensive, because of which they had to turn it into a service fish.
