Our parents told us a lot of lies from a young age and taught us not to lie. Because lying will bring unnecessary trouble to others and make oneself lose credibility, but all adults seem to have forgotten that lying can also cause psychological harm. Probably those children who have grown up have not learned to be tolerant, so after having their own children accidentally, telling lies like this will bring psychological harm to the children, but they don't understand why the children become like this.
Lily doesn't call her Dad at the beginning of the movie, she calls him by his first name. I know Americans are very casual with their names, but not so casual. Lily finds bees in the room and thinks that's the beginning of a good day. Sure enough, everything that happened subsequently changed her sad and bleak life.
A father who has no tenderness, imposes corporal punishment at every turn, and is indifferent to the arrest of his domestic servant. Lily's life sucks, and then she fights back.
The dream of leaving home at a young age is not only because of a rebellious heart, but also because of the unsatisfied part of growing up, lack of mother's love, the harsh and inhumane father, and little concern for growth.
In desperation, Lily fled to her mother's hometown with her black maid. In fact, he didn't know where he was, maybe it was just another lie told by his father.
I didn't expect fate to be so coincidental. She happened to be where she wanted to go.
Happy and beautiful days living with bees and black women. Augest et al. give this girl without relatives enough care and love. Slowly, Lily discovers that this bee house may be related to her deceased mother.
In some literature I have read, it is written that the depravity of white people is mostly caused by slavery. It looks right now. In those days, the social status of black people was so low that they were not allowed to sit in the middle position when watching movies, but white people enjoyed all kinds of unearned benefits and domineering.
Lily finally asks Augest about her own mother after her grief at the Bee House.
Whether the mother came home to pack her things or came back to find her was a question that seemed to have an obvious answer to the grieving girl for a long time.
If it wasn't for loving the child in his womb, how could he insist on getting married when his love for T decreased? If it wasn't for thinking about her own child, how could she go back to the home that tortured her to the bony and insane after her physical and mental condition improved a little?
The psychology of adolescence is sensitive and fragile. What's more, the father has repeated the lie to Lily for more than 10 years?
The best cure for hurt is forgiveness. Lily finally said, I never knew that the passing of my mother over the years was also a kind of hurt to you. Lily chose to forgive her father, but as a teenager, she finally ran to her father to ask whether her mother came back for her or to get things. T finally told Lily the truth and the sadness of more than 10 years vanished in an instant. Because of forgiveness.
When did you start to doubt your parents' love for you? Is it because parents give less attention to themselves or because they see other children smiling happily? If something that you so desperately pursued growing up is revealed and you find out that it's not what you thought it was, will the hurt you've felt in those years instantly melt away?
I used to think that this was a movie with an extremely strong period, and I was reluctant to watch it. I finally finished watching this day when the internet speed was very bad.
To be honest, not my type of movie. According to the standard of a good movie, it is scored one by one, and it is almost perfect. The story of the last century, plus the warm story, the beautiful soundtrack, and the excellent actors are far from enough. The level of the director directly determines the level of the film. Stories about spiritual growth are not easy to shoot, good and bad can be seen from the details.
The Secret Life of a Bee tells the story of a girl's growth almost perfectly, in line with the background of the time, the film story is smooth and delicate, the soundtrack is beautiful, and it can be watched repeatedly.

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.
