I remember reading Harry Potter Book 7 countless times and reading Dumbledore saying to Harry, "Believe in yourself, you have love, and that's the best weapon against Voldemort". I actually sneered at this. The intention of such cliche is probably because of the position of teaching children, it appears over and over again.

But after watching The Secret Life of Bees for the second time, I don't think so. The film is very melodious, the tone is exactly the same as honey, and it is full of bright yellow that is thick and not too sweet.

There are a few particularly good shots, such as Zack picking up a handful of purple honey with his hands, Lily slowly lifting the yarn on the bee's hat, staring at his eyes and sucking clean; for example, August took out Debra's relic, Lily The eyes that she didn't want to look at but couldn't move; for example, at the end of May's letter to the sisters, in the background narration she said don't mess it up, then smiled softly, and finally said, Love, May .

but most of the tears I wait any longer, in the end was that Sunday in the army Caribbean pink color inside the house, August Lily and Rosaleen first to tell the story of Mary, five black women sitting next to from time to time Accompanied by sighs and whispers. I listened, looked at August's serious and loving face, and felt my throat tighten.

Because it is black English and with a southern accent, I can't fully understand it. But I really love Latifah's voice, she can be so tough, so warm, and sometimes so sad. And what fuels all of this is the unparalleled background music, I checked , and other works by composer Mark Isham , and, really competent is this type.

So, that's it.
Love, it may sound stupid, but it does work.

The Secret Life of Bees 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.
