Thumbs up for Secret Life of Bees movie
I watched the preview of the Fox Searchlight movie, The Secret Life of Bees, and I was touched. The movie is pure story (no unnecessary special and sound effects) and its depth reminds of Beloved. It features a great cast, some of the most talented you will see in one movie: Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys, Paul Bettany, Hilarie Burton and Nate Parker Lead.
The Secret Life Of Bees, based on the New York Times best selling novel and set in South Carolina in 1964, is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother’s past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping.
