The movie the secret life of bees is about a young girl named Lilly and the people that surround her. In the movie Lilly when she was just a little child killed her mom by accident and her dad was the one raising her until her fourteen years when she decided to run out with a black woman that worked for them named Rosaline. She ran out with Rosaline for two reasons, one because Rosaline had offended a white man and because of that he wanted to kill her, and two Lilly used it as an excuse to go find out about her moms life because her father T-Ray never talked to her about her mom. When Lilly ran out she went to August Bowright house because she knew that her mom had to do something with her. August Bowright and her sisters June and may where black peoples and owners of a honey factory, that was recognized because of the package front symbols a Black Mary. Lilly learned to work in the honey and finally asked August about her mom that August answered with pleasure. Finally T-Ray found Lilly and since Lilly wanted to stay with August and her family T-Ray permitted it because he knew that Lilly was better with those black women.
But these movie wasn’t only about Lilly it also involved a lot of our society problems like racism , religion, domestic abuse, love, mental disabilities, suicide, etc. The racism was presented mostly by Rosaline’s fight with the white man. The religion with August and her Sundays tradition to talk about the Black Madonna or Mary and how they worshiped her in a way. Love because of Lilly and Zack that were different in color because Lilly was white with blue eyes and Zack was a pure black male that felled in love no mater their colors. Domestic abuse was also one of the themes in the story, that I think was one of the most important themes in the movie because it was presented though Lilly and her father T-Ray that abused of her every time he could with or without excuse. He abused of her in almost every type of domestic abuse there is he abused her verbally, physically and emotionally. One of the examples we can use to represent the domestic abuse in the movie was when T-Ray got mad at Lilly for being out late at night and punished her making her kneel for an hour un a gravel. Also when Lilly wanted to learn about her mom, T-Ray lied to her telling her bad things about her mom and that she didn’t loved her and some other times didn’t even answered.
For me this movie is a really good movie. I enjoyed it because for me the story was really interesting, the themes. I enjoyed it also because it made me keep really interested though the whole movie. Even though I wasn’t agreed of how T-Ray treated Lilly or about racism, or about the mixed religion. I also liked how in the movie the things that happened all had to do one with another. I think that this was a great movie not only because I enjoyed it also because of the message it can send to us that is to stop the abuses in our lives.
