      You are my bee charmer

      "It's strange that most people can get along with someone day and night and fall in love without knowing when it all happened; but the moment it happened to Ruth, she knew it. When Inji grinned at her, Trying to get her the jar of honey in her hand, all those feelings she'd wanted to suppress all came out. And at that moment, she realized that she loved Yingji with all her heart and that's why she cried that day. She never had That feeling, and she knows, she probably won't feel it again....

      The Beekeeper and the Taken Lake

      I heard that there are many discrepancies between the original book and the movie. The biggest one is that love has become friendship
      , but in fact, there are many places where you can feel their feelings.


      When Buddy tells the story of the lake, Ruth smiles, and Idgie leads her At this time ,
      Ruth and Idgie pretended to be a brother and a lover in their hearts. Buddy
      believed that if it wasn't for an accident, Ruth would be Idgie's sister-in-law. When Idgie was...

      Proud peers

      This movie is touching, and the friendship between women can rarely appear on the screen in such a beautiful and harmonious state. The film has some feminist colors, but more of it is actually human nature.
         There are two friendships in different time and space in the film, which are interlaced. One is Aveline and Nini who exist as leads. Aveline is a middle-aged woman who has suffered from her husband's cold reception and hopes to make up for it through coursework, while Nini is an...

      ASWL

      ASWL almost missed this good movie because of the name? The relationship between the two heroines is so touching that I cried to death?

      There are two eye scenes in the movie that are particularly impressive. The first is Ruth watching from a distance Idgie took out honey from a tree hole full of bees and put it in a bottle, and then carefully closed the bottle cap and walked over. Ruth He looked at her in surprise, tears slowly forming in his eyes....

      Yan value burst table

      It should be the most beautiful movie in the Ji film. (If it is a Ji film) we can see the evolution of Hollywood movies, the camera lens, soundtrack, plot, and dialogue are all a little rusty compared to now, but because the heroines are all too beautiful and their acting skills are also top-notch, so I still have to watch it after watching it. Very comfortable. Even Robin (the female protagonist) at the beginning likes it very much! Sometimes I like to see such an obscure...

      The ladies are so beautiful. I like the story told so easily, very nostalgic. I also like America in the context of that era. Although black people are still treated unfairly, there are also many heartwarming stories that remind me of To Kill a Mockingbird. The songs in the movie are so...

      4.5 Sensational and deliberate The structure of the story is old-fashioned, but it is so so just right to hit the heart. The best fun female group movie after all the time. I didn't like the structure of this flashback at first. Oh, it turns out that the storyteller is the protagonist of the story. But the character Kathy Bates is set up is too subtle. Listening to this story with a woman of any other status would not have the effect. All kinds of little suspense are really...

      It feels like a warm and unpopular movie. I thought it was a lily movie when I watched it, but later I found out that it was pure friendship, and I mastered it very well. I like movies with this tone, the dam is so fun, I really want to have such a place, but in reality, the city is full of domestic sewage, dirty and...

    • Buddy Threadgoode Jr.: Mommy, I can hit! You should see me. Aunt Idgie. She hit me in the back with a curveball. I didn't duck, and I hardly cried.

      Ruth: She hit you? Well, she did that to me once too but I think I did cry.

      Buddy Threadgoode Jr.: Mama, I'm sorry if you're sad.

      Ruth: Well... give me a big kiss then, and I'll never be sad again. And you best not be sad neither.

    • Ruth: I've been thinkin', maybe I should move on because of Frank and all. I just... don't want you to feel like you have to look out for us. I just don't want to be selfish, that's all. Maybe if I wasn't here you'd settle down.

      Idgie Threadgoode: I'm as settled as I ever hope to be.

    • Ninny Threadgoode: I'm worried about my little friend Evelyn. She said her husband, Ed, would just be sitting around watching his sports on TV... and she has an urge to hit him in the head with a baseball bat.

      Janeen: Oh hell, that seems normal to me.
