      Looking at the equality of civil rights through the democracy of bees

      The film is about the escape and integration of Lily, a 14-year-old girl who lost her mother, and Rosaleen, a black female worker who suffered from skin-color violence. What Lily escapes is the corporal punishment of the indifferent and irritable father, and the slander of his mother in his father's mouth; what Rosaleen escapes is the violence under the color dispute, and the possible prison sentence of false accusation. So, with only a "Tiburon" note left by her mother, Lily took Rosaleen...

      A Sweet Story of Honey: The Secret Life of Bees

      The beginning of the novel was liked a dream in the middle summer day: the bees flied into the dream of the girl, as the angel from the Heaven.

      Really womanhood ah, the last time to see Dakota Fanning's movie is already three years ago (not summer Lott's web, where she didn't show up) the Dreamer. Personally, I still admire the little girl she played in I am Sam and Man on Fire. But I believe that people who like her will continue to like her. Wonder what route she will take as an adult?

      Among the two...

      Darling, let's live in love well. every day

      Long story to watch the movie No. 43 - The Secret Life of Bees.

      This is a film based on a novel about love, family, friendship and racism. The tragic elements of slowness, warmth, and tragedy are unexpectedly smeared with sweet and thick honey throughout life.
      I really appreciate the casting of this female director. Whether it's a white girl or a black singer.
      I will not admit that this is a literary film. She should be a life drama.

      It is estimated that many...

    The adaptation of the film is faithful to the original book, retaining almost all the main plots in the original book. Most of the film and television works involving self-inner redemption and racial issues are tragic as the main theme, but this film does the opposite and uses two heavy themes to deduce a happy work. (Sina Entertainment Review) 
    The film has comedy features of American Hollywood, warm and sweet. The film reflects two...

    Movie quotes

    • Lily Owens: [to T. Ray] My whole life has been nothing but a hole, where my mother should have been. It always left me aching, but I never thought about what it did to you.

    • Lily Owens: If your favorite color is blue, why did you paint the house pink?

      August Boatwright: [chuckles] That was May's doing. When we went to the paint shop, she latched on to a color called, "Caribbean Pink." She said it made her feel like dancing a Spanish Flamenco. I personally thought it was the tackiest color I had ever seen, but I figured if it could lift May's heart, it was good enough to live in.

      Lily Owens: That was awfully nice of you.

      August Boatwright: Well, I don't know. Some things in life, like the color of a house, don't really matter. But lifting someone's heart? Now, that matters.

    • Rosaleen Daise: How come you all got names from a calendar?

      May Boatwright: Our mama loved spring and summer. We had an April too, but she... she died when she was little.
